Coordination complex A coordination compound is the result of the reaction of lewis acid and lewis base in which neutral molecules called ligands make coordinate covalent bond with middle metal atom. Ligands have one electron pair to donate to a metal atom and are called complex agents. • Metal atoms are Lewis acids because they can accept pairs of electrons from Lewis bases. • Within a ligand, the atom that is directly bonded to the metal atom/ion is called the donor atom. • A coordinate…

Koutsomichalis et al (2008) discussed that having high hardness and good adhesion with the substrate the sprayed coating exhibited satisfactory wear resistance. Tungsten carbide is an advanced ceramic material combining a unique set of properties such as high hardness, high melting point, wear resistance, good thermal shock resistance, thermal conductivity and good resistance against oxidation. They can be applied as coatings by thermal spraying processes such as plasma-spraying, high-velocity…

According to UNICEF, “Food insecurity affects more than 800,000 people, or more than 4 percent of the population. About 40 percent of children under the age of five suffer from stunting as a result of chronic malnutrition” (Background: Issues facing children in Mozambique). Stunting means to prevent from growing or developing properly. Mozambique, a country in East Africa rich in culture is hoping to diminish their food insecurity problem and cease the constant battle being fought against…

Imagine flying faster than the speed of sound. For most all they can do is imagine what this would be like, but for some this was actually possible. There was a time when it was possible to fly all over the world in half the time of a normal flight today. For awhile now supersonic travel has been gone, but what made it disappear? Every year billions of people travel through by plane, so it would make sense that people would want to get where they are going faster. Supersonic travel was once…

Getting Started When choosing a good setup to start fishing especially for bass, I found bigger is not always better. I started out with a 7-foot FLW Platinum pole and a Quantum standard spinning reel. I found that when I hooked my first bass I hardly knew that he was on. This defeats the whole objective of enjoying the fight these great fish deliver. I then moved to an Ultra-light 5-foot Quantum with an ultra-light reel. This was more like it. Even the one-pounders felt like something really…

Some pet peeves are absolutely enraging. One on my pet peeves happens to be incompletion. My mother has, on more than one occasion, began cleaning her seemingly tornado stricken bedroom only to get distracted by a shoe box full of high school memorabilia. Some people, including my mom, would blame this behavior on poor attention abilities. Personally, I blame her lack of perseverance. She tends to disagree with me because of our differing definitions of the word. I believe perseverance is the…

TERM PAPER TXL752 Case Study Motorcycle Racing Protective Clothing By Ravi Sharma 2011TT10951 INTRODUCTION: Compared to car drivers, motorcyclists are more likely to be killed or severely injured in crashes during racing or off road riding. You’ll lose 1mm of flesh for every 1mph you're going over 30mph when you hit road. Hence riders wear armour to protect against injury from falling off, hitting other riders and bikes, debris kicked up from the rear wheel of leading bikes, and from…

score which offer more fixation versatility, may be a reasonable treatment option for distal tibia fracture with very short metaphyseal segments.30 I) A retrospective review of 22 patients with distal third tibial fractures were treated with titanium locking compression plates using minimally invasive technique good biological fixation of distal tibial. A total of 81% of good to excellent outcome was assessed using American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle…

Cost of a liquid cooling system Liquid cooling systems prices start from around $300 and go over the price range of $1000 for this system, which makes it much more expensive than traditional cooling systems which go around the price range of $40 - $100. You also need to do maintenance on a liquid cooling system which this maintenance is also expensive and takes a lot of time, where in a traditional cooling system you only replace it once every four years to make sure everything is working…
