The individual continues to an endless cycle of restrictive eating often to a point close to starvation. This becomes an obsession and is…
Determination of the gel-point of a resin via DMA testing and its use in a practical sense The DMA is used to determine the modulus values of the resin to associated temperatures and frequencies. The state of viscosity of the resin is also monitored through the evaluation of tan delta values. Gel-point of a resin implies that resin matrix has transformed into an elastic gel state and can no longer flow. The viscosity shows a sudden rise to extremely high values. The time at which this state is…

lot of red tape to go through. The military may not have these issues; sure it may cost more to send a military C-130, but it arrives when you need it; whereas the civilian cargo plane may take three times as long. Think about Amazon shipping, you can get the free shipping, but it will take a week, where the next day is going to cost more, but the value of that is you have it next day. That affects quality and price. The private and public sectors might and do behave differently. The drive to…

As one reads about Walt and Billie McCandless, one can observe that part of what fueled Walt’s authoritarian parenting and Billie’s compliance with his way of parenting was their narcissism. This can definitely be observed when they are both at the bus where Chris died and Walt says “[he has] a lot of reasons for disliking Alaska” and Billie admits “[she hasn’t] prayed since [they] lost him” (Krakauer 202). These seemingly simple statements highlight Walt and Billie’s unwillingness to look…
