Their language, also called Arawak, is spoken chiefly by older adults, a characteristic that commonly foretells the death of a language. The Antillean Arawak, or Taino, were agriculturists who lived in villages, some with as many as 3,000 inhabitants, and practiced slash-and-burn cultivation...
“But obviously we want people from every Asian culture to come and say, ‘I expect my country to be well represented in an encyclopedic museum.’ And Asia doesn’t have those museums. And that’s a characteristic of the Enlightenment that began with the British Museum and ask yourself how...
Looking at the technical history of the steam engines of the 1700s to modern software, the pursuit of minimising waste has been a central theme. Holly’s talk explored how everything from pre-cloud provisioning nightmares to e-waste and slow code contributed to a global inefficiency crisis. So...
It is a compound derived from coconut oil and belongs to the class of ethanolamides. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. The basic structure of coconut oil monoethanolamide consists of a long carbon chain derived from coconut oil attached to an ...
These are based on chlorinated rubber, acrylic, alkyd, vinyl, and epoxy resins. Furthermore, the influence of the temperature in the rheological behavior was also investigated. Results indicate that the paints exhibit both shear thinning and thixotropic behavior. The proposed model fits satisfactorily...
If you are careful, you can do this with acrylic paints. If you'd like some insurance, use an oil-based base coat and then grain as described (the oil-based paint will better adhere to the plastic prop). Next, take some fine modeler's tape (about 1/8-inch wide) and cut a few ...
In this work, we demonstrate that a commonly reported synthesis method to produce malachite (CuCO3Cu(OH)2) initially forms an amorphous polymorph of malachite called georgite. Georgite is light blue in color instead of the characteristic green color expected for malachite. Elongating the product cr...
t normally see. A curve tracer produces the equivalents of all those graphs from the data sheet, while a double pulse tester puts the two transistors through a punishing high-power dynamic characteristic examination. Then back in his own lab we see the devices compared in a typical circuit, ...
When the flow is dominated by viscous effects, the balance is captured by the capillary number (Ca), which is the ratio of the characteristic viscous stresses to interfacial stresses, and is defined as Ca = μGR/γ. Here G is the local extensional rate experienced by the drop, μ is ...
Similarly, you want to make sure your job description stays within the lines of the law. So, this means avoiding language that could be interpreted as discriminatory based on factors like race, gender, age, religion, disability, or any other protected characteristic. That’s how to create a ...
