What are the general requirements for a fatigue crack to form and propagate? The general requirements for a fatigue crack to form and propagate are: The presence of a local plastic stress; The presence of a tension stress; The presence of a cyclic stress (repeated or fluctuating). Eliminating any one of the above three requirements will stop

! ! 1. Describe‚ in detail‚ how to successfully get an image into view. Be as detailed as you can. -In order to get an image into view you must first control lighting by turning switch on. Then pick a slide‚ then select the lowest ocular power (4x) to set microscope into low power. The reposition slide into the circle of light by turning the two knobs located at the right of the microscope. The top knob moves slide back and forth‚ where as‚ the bottom knob positions the slide from side

experiment was to determine the effect of temperature on the rate of movement of Porcellio scaber. Our prediction was that P. scaber would have faster rates of movement in hotter temperatures. We expected this response as P. scaber is an ectotherm. Hence‚ its body temperature is directly determined by the temperature of its environment (Mellanby 1939). Løkke and van Gestel (1998) stated that the rate of the metabolism is controlled by the environmental temperature for ectotherms. As seen by Wieser

Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) The anatomy of the optic nerve sheath : The intraorbital section of the optic nerve extends from the globe‚ where it inserts medially‚ to the optic canal located in the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone. It is encased by a meningeal sheath consisting of dura mater‚ arachnoid mater and pia mater. Cerebrospinal fluid is contained in the trabeculated subarachnoid space and is continuously and slowly filtered. As a result the optic nerve sheath is in direct

Activities Affecting the Environment Vegetable Gardens The aim will be to produce vegetables intensively‚ in small or larger spaces‚ in the ground or in containers‚ as the situation allows. The establishment of vegetable gardens will also aim to ensure that families have a secure food supply‚ as well as to generate income to improve the participants’ quality of life. Production techniques will be organic‚ and manure or compost will be used to fertilize soil. The types of vegetables produced will

Research Question: How will an increase of FeSO4 concentration affect the activity of the enzyme catalase? Hypothesis: By increasing the concentration of FeSO4‚ there will be a decrease in the activity of the enzyme catalase because the Iron (ii) in the metallic ion will act as an inhibitor during the catalysis of the hydrogen peroxide into O2 and H2O. Introduction: We rely on oxygen to provide us with energy (ATP) and go through all the phases of aerobic respiration. However‚ oxygen can be

That was fast: The influence of light intensity on the growth and development of Wisconsin Fast Plants Introduction It is common knowledge that plants need light to grow and develop. This is done by the conversion of light energy into usable sugars during photosynthesis. Light absorbing molecules‚ known as pigments‚ absorb only specific wavelengths of visible light‚ mostly blue and red wavelengths (1). Whatever wavelength isn’t absorbed is reflected and the reflection is the color of plant we
