November 24th‚ 2008 Geology MW 7:45 Extra Credit Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend A diamond is considered to be one of the most precious and rare stones on earth. These stones “are rare for three reasons: they form deep within the Earth in very localized places beneath continents‚ an extremely unusual kind of volcanic activity is needed to bring [diamonds] to the surface‚ and only about 20 per cent of them are gem quality” (Fleet‚ Hart‚ Wall 23). Not all diamonds are good enough to sell for

ceramics and ceramic composite materials. After that we should go deeper for understanding the positive sides of ceramic composite materials‚ which we can sum them under 3 titles‚ which are resistant to heat greater than conventional materials‚ high hardness resulting low wear and low density resulting low weight. These positive sides of the ceramics have got many influences on the brake technology which lead us to the advantages of ceramic composite brake discs like; better performance‚ better road-holding

DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF ASBESTOS FREE BRAKE LINING MATERIAL INTRODUCTION The friction material in the automotive brake system has been considered as one of the key components for overall performance of a vehicle. This is because it plays crucial roles in various aspects of the brake performance such as a stopping distance‚ pedal feel‚ counter disk wear and brake induced vibrations. A great deal of effort has been given to improve the performance of the friction material and multiphase

these methods of tests‚ due to simplicity‚ rebound hammer test based on surface hardness becomes most popular in the world for non-destructive testing of in-situ concrete. REBOUND HAMMER A handy non-destructive testing instrument should be cheap‚ easy to operate and should have reproducibility for‚ fairly accurate results. In 1948‚ a Swiss Engineer‚ Ernst Schmidt developed a test hammer for measuring the hardness of concrete by the rebound principle.

The 7 Most Common Metalloids Boron Silicon Germanium Arsenic Antimony Tellurium Polonium Their Uses: Boron -Amorphous boron is used in pyrotechnic flares to provide a distinctive green colour‚ and in rockets as an igniter. The most important compounds of boron are boric (or boracic) acid‚ widely used as a mild antiseptic‚ and borax which serves as a cleansing flux in welding and as a water softener in washing powders. Boron compounds are also extensively used in the manufacture of borosilicate

appreciate those who work alongside and help to encourage me. I value equality and demonstrate compassion for others in need. My weakness include; entitlement‚ hardness of heart‚ and confusion. Believing that I am entitled to special privileges and persuade others that my role gives me special rights are inconsistent with good character traits. Hardness of heart comes from experiences of people that did not live up to my expectations. I must develop and practice mindfulness not to be confused on the role
