One the day we were presented with the New Destinations project, the Looney Tunes group quickly jumped the gun on the topic of promotional items. Immediately we started to brainstorm which items would be the best; we came up with carpenter pencils, tape measures, magnets, and drink cozies. Once we narrowed down our choice of promotional items, with the help of Cheri, we sided with magnets and measuring tapes. Quickly, we began to search on the Internet for websites that would give us the best deal

The ban on plastic bottles is something we should participate in because it's a major threat to the environment, they are expensive and poses the major health risk that causes defects. Banning the sales of water bottles at schools would be a great idea because they pose a major threat to the environment. Despite recycling infrastructure that exists in order to facilitate the recycling of these bottles, according to the Container Recycling Institute, 86% of plastic water bottles used in the US become

can be confirmed that the micro-damages have an indirect relationship to material changes in bone. In order to understand the operation of the harvesting bone and test methods, the test preparation process of different papers will be explained in the method section. In this report, the current experiments on the micro-crack influence (linear and diffuse) will be discussed and presented. Introduction Unlike engineering material, healthy bone can maintain its reliability by restoring the micro damage

Many would argue that the common form of plastic has been one of the most revolutionizing invention of the human existence. Plastic is present in just about every field of view at any given time and the sheer amount of products that contain plastic is frightening. We may not think about how much plastic our race actually uses because it’s so deeply embedded into our lives, for example: during a trip to the grocery store The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is what most describe as a massive pool of

but it does have its benefits as well as its negative outcomes. When we recycle it benefits the environment, because there less demand for raw material, which is extracted from the earth. By recycling we can just melt and process the material we already have and use it again and again. We do not have to use it for the same thing we could use the material for other purposes. When aluminum is recycled as well as plastic you receive a CRV back, which is a tax that is charged to the consumer when he

generated between the particles of a powdered material by electrical discharge. This discharge results from energizing the sample by a momentary pulse of large electric current. One can summarize the sequential effects of this electrical pulse in five key steps: (1) spark plasma is generated (2) the sample is “plasma heated” (3) the sample is “joule heated”, (4) the particles fuse into a compact, solid object by electrical field diffusion, and (5) the material undergoes plastic deformation to further

Abstract Friction stir processing (FSP) has been applied by several researchers to produce surface modification of metallic materials. The feasibility to produce TiC and B4C particle reinforced aluminum (AA6360) hybrid matrix composites (AHMCs) were studied in this paper. The measured content of TiC and B4C powders were compacted into a groove of 0.5 mm X 5 mm. Double pass FSP was carried out using a FSW tool at rotational speed of 1600 rpm, processing speed of 60 mm/min and axial force of 8 kN

The Plastic Game: ideas • Goal: decrease the consumption of plastic bottles • Principle of the game: Each bottle, when produced, would be given a token, which would follow the way the bottle make from the production to the consumption, ending in the waste disposal. Once bought by a consumer, a system would automatically register this number in a database, as well as the name of the consumer. Once a year, the Plastic Game would take place (one per country). It would globally happen like

needless-to-say millions of dollars material loss. Therefore, the benefits brought about by corrosion are outweighed by its detriments. The fact is, about 33% of these costs could be diminished by using corrosion-resistant materials. Being defined as the sideways displacement of material from its original position on a solid surface performed by the action of another surface, wear is another mechanical property of materials that materials scientists consider when selecting materials in a design task. In order
