Chapter 6 DIFFUSION IN SOLIDS • How does diffusion occur? • Why is it an important part of processing? • How can the rate of diffusion be predicted for some simple cases? • How does diffusion depend on structure and temperature? Driving force for movement In general‚ force is a position derivative of energy (F = - dE/dr). In other words‚ if there is any energy difference in space‚ there is a force which will act on matters - Force will move things. (ex1) Potential energy by gravity:

Discovery of PHB... Polyhydroxybutyrate‚ or PHB‚ was discovered in 1926 by French microbiologist‚ Maurice Lemoigne‚ who was researching the use of bacteria to produce polyesters‚ at the time. However‚ it was overlooked and forgotten for over 30 years‚ as there wasn’t any need for such a biopolymer; petroleum was still inexpensive and abundant so PHB was unnecessary. In 1957‚ PHB was rediscovered in Britain and USA‚ and was further developed and researched during the 1960s. The mass production

Thus‚ the use of scapegoats allows people to justify their own existence. By using the literary devices of allegory‚ characterization

The unattainable debate of whether God really exists or not will always be a controversial topic‚ this essay aims to prove that we do not have the mental capacity to prove that God does or does not exist. This essay will present evidence from both sides of the argument and prove that the knowledge of the existence of God is unattainable to us. Thomas Aquinas believed
