accounting for 19.8% of all plastic consumption in Europe [11]. In Canada, the number is even larger, with construction responsible for 26% of plastic entering the market [4]. Figure1shows the consumption and disposal of plastics in different industries in Canada in 2016 [...
the perfect model is unattainable because in the process of modelling less essential details of architecture are usually ignored. However, by including more and more details one approaches the perfect model closer and closer. Mathematically, one can say that the observable behavior...
transition is complicated, the rough estimation based on Arrhenius model indicates that the rotational process should be completed in ~100 ps, in accordance with the relaxation time obtained from our inelastic neutron-scattering measurement near room temperature (Fig.3e, f; Supplementary Fig.2a, b...
Pellet color, although a subjective category, shows that the majority of the pellets on beaches in the Great Lakes Basin were white, followed by black and grey (Fig. 5a). Lake Ontario, and specifically Bronte Beach, contained the greatest variety of pellet colors, with thirty-five of the fo...
How can I find a plastic-free grocery store near me? Hundreds of independent zero waste and refill shops have sprung up in the UK over the last couple of years. To find one near you, try searching online directories such as Eco & Beyond or Eco Thrifty Living. ...
The model builds easily, as the parts fit nicely and little to no putty is needed to close gaps (if any). The box art shows BB-55 with the scheme used in 1943, but the model itself better depicts the USS North Carolina circa late 1944, so a change of scheme would be better fitting...
2 a shows the results of the thermal conductivity measurement between sub-Kelvin and room temperature. The error bands correspond to a 2 σ uncertainty (stat. & syst.). The increased uncertainty in the region between 1 and 3K is due to the unknown thermal contact resis- tance in the ...
The effective stress intensity factor derived from Irwin's model is greater than the linear elastic counterpart. This is in contradiction to the shielding effect of crack-tip plastic zone. Besides, the classic Irwin's model underestimates the size of the crack-tip plastic zone compared with ...
3. Theory/model for EEA of various disposal options We identified seven different end of life disposal options for the Resintile plastic/sand roof tiles that are either already practiced or could be feasible in the developing country context of Uganda. The general process of each option is shown...
2f) shows an anisotropic, butterfly-like pattern, where the main axis coincides with the growth direction of the platelet (y-axis denoted in Fig. 2e). Finally, the “lobes” along the x- and y-axes show tensile and compressive residual stress, respectively (see Supplementary Fig. 1 for ...
