Size is of concern. Size of the product is limited by the size of the printer itself. Larger printers are also much more costly. Surface finish and dimensional accuracy may be lower than other manufacturing processes. Poor mechanical properties caused by layering and multiple interfaces can cause defects in the end product. Stair-stepping…
ineffective during certain phases of the cell cycle. The synergy of RFA and radiation therapy is likely due to cells which are radiosensitized by thermal therapy. Cells remain radiosensitized for up to 24 hours, therefore the efficiency of radiation therapy is increased during that window. This effect is summarized by Dewhirst et al in his review of the effects of thermal therapy [6]. The increased effectiveness of combining multiple modes of treatment is frequently time-dependent, as described…
To start off building my computer, the case I decided on was the Thermaltake Overseer RX-I VN700M1W2N. I picked this case because I like being able to see the inside of the computer case, while offering a neat light display when powered on and a stylish look overall. The motherboard I have chosen is the ASUS Z170-A LGA 1151 Intel Z170 ATX motherboard. I have chosen this motherboard because I wanted something that is up-to-date, can run the everyday things I do, comes with USB 3.1, and is also…
RCS Air Sampler: Start time 950am and Stop time 952am 1. Answer the questions below. 2. As this information will all have to be reviewed by your Supervisor, ensure to submit all documentation related to your sampling strategy and sampling records, along with the answers to the questions below. Questions: 1. List the real-time airborne concentration ranges of the items below that you gathered from your sampling, and describe how the measurements compare against the standards described in the…
with micrometeoroids or naturally-occurring space debris, that travel at extremely high velocities. In a paper written by Bernhard, Christiansen, Hyde and Crews (1995), abrasion to the external shell surface of a spacecraft is detrimental to the thermal properties of the spacecraft and hence requires repair after the spacecraft’s return to the Earth. The basic issue that concerned the scientists, who were tasked with repairing the impact craters on the surface of the spacecraft, was that due…
and inkjet printer nozzles. Things that we use in our everyday life such as, parts for machines,for space shuttles, buildings, computers, automobiles, cars, trucks, and buses are designed and developed by Mechanical Engineers. And they also test tools such as, medical and biomedical tools. Profession as a Mechanical Engineer, the part that I like most, the idea of taking products to the marketplace, and having the skills, knowledge and ability to understand the forces and thermal environment…
Chapter-4 (Introduction to FEM Analysis using COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS) 4.1 Introduction: In simplest form we can define Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) as miniaturized electro-mechanical devices made by using various techniques of micro-fabrication, where the dimensions can be in the range from less than one micron to several millimeters. Many MEMS devices are of the size of a grain or the eye of a needle. MEMS is indeed one of the most promising and emerging areas of engineering. This…
Industry and What It Can Do For You In the past 100 years, technology has come from patenting air conditioners and zippers to 3D printers, drones and self-driving cars. Never has the ancient occupation of farming had more resources at its disposal to improve production and sustainability. Most “precision agriculture” conversations focus on crop applications; using GPS and thermal imaging to detect areas of high pest populations or disease and using aggregated data to determine the best crops to…
Throughout history there has been many amazing people who have impacted the world of science. From developing or innovating technology to discovering how life functions, they are all life changing contributions that make the world the way it is. One predominant aspect of today's daily life is technological devices; they can be found from pocket size, personalized gadgets to supercomputers used by governments or big corporations. It is difficult to imagine a world without technology, especially…
One of the greatest challenges of our existence in this planet is global warming. It is even a challenge for some to believe it, going so far as to call it a hoax. The rise of the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere is believed to permanently change our climate. The fact that Antarctic Peninsula being the most rapidly-warming part of the southern hemisphere, about 10 times faster than the rest of the world, impacting on the volume of water in the world’s ocean. It’s time to think of…
