Deep Sea Creatures Keep Life Living Everywhere Else
When you receive the Seal you will begin to care for the environment of the earth. Researchers have recently found that the whole ecosystem of the earth depends on the life on the ocean floor. 9 out of 10 of all living creatures on the bottom of the ocean are nematodes. And they account for most of the life on the whole earth too.
Herod The Great-Ancient Mountain Military Post Found
When you receive the Seal you will believe in the biblical accounts of history. Much of the history of the Bible has been proven by archaeological digs, and a recent dig has uncovered another fortress of Herod the Great. Herod the Great is the king infamous for killing all the male children in Bethlehem.
Goodbye Animal Testing-Hello Health By Biochips
When you receive the Seal you will begin to care both about your health and about the environment. A new technology promises that a lot of animal testing can be eliminated and at the same time make it much cheaper for new drugs to come to market. The new technology involves biochips, the MetaChip and the DataChip.
Study Says Obesity "Obeys" Genetics-But You Can Still Lose The Weight
When you receive the Seal you will begin to take better care of your health. That means eating right. But you may have a genetic inclination to eat too much, according to a new study. There is a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) that has been found to regulate appetite in the brain of mice.
Nitric Oxide - A miracle drug
The time now is one in the morning. An unconscious man has been discovered lying on the road. Upon inspection, mechanism of injury determined to be hit-and-run accident. Victim has multiple wounds on his head, and suffers from massive bleeding. He is immediately transported to the nearest hospital, and blood transfusion is given.
Fuel Cells
Fuel cells are simple devices, containing no moving parts and only four functional component elements: cathode, electrolyte, anode and interconnect. Fuel cells are actually being used more widely than many people think. Fuel cells are electrochemical devices similar to batteries that directly convert chemical energy of a fuel into electrical energy and heat.
New Nano Technology Touts Solar Solution
When you receive the Seal you will begin to care about the environment. A new technology is being developed that may greatly help preserve the environment by making efficient and cheap solar power a reality. The technology makes use of nanotechnology--the production of material at very small sizes.
Introduction
Explore, as you will, the relationship between rebound hardness and Scleroscope, you shall be introduced to a rather unique hardness measure test - the Rebound Hardness Test or the Dynamic Hardness Test. The Rebound Hardness Test measures hardness of materials in terms of the 'height of rebound of the indenter' dropped on the materials surface with the help of a special device known as the 'Scleroscope'. Put in other words, the Scleroscope measures hardness in terms of the elasticity of the material, where the hardness number is dependent on the height to which the hammer rebounds. The harder the material, the higher is the rebound.
The Scleroscope test to determine rebound hardness involves dropping a diamond tipped hammer (falling under the force of its own weight from a fixed height) on the sample material. The height of the rebound travel of the hammer is measured on a graduated scale, depending on the model being used. The C Scleroscope testers make use of a glass tube graduated from 0 to 140 to measure the height of rebound and the D model had a 0 to 120 dial-gauge to determine the rebound height.
Application and Advantages of Scleroscope Test
Being portable, the Scleroscopes are used for measuring the rebound hardness of a wide variety of metallic parts, only that the size of the sample material should be large enough to cause maximum possible bounce. Well-finished, smooth metal rolls give the best rebound hardness measures as part of the Scleroscope test.
The Scleroscope test is a non-marking test and since it does not leave any indent on the sample material, it can be used immediately after the test without any refinishing.
Updates On The Scleroscope
The Scleroscope test has been used to the greatest advantage in the development of electronic instruments for measuring rebound hardness of materials. These electronic devices make use of a spring to get a spherical, tungsten carbide tipped object moving towards the sample material surface.
The other difference is that unlike Scleroscopes, these instruments measure the loss of energy of the impact body. Thus, they measure the two velocities - the velocity of the body before and after the impact. The difference between the two velocities (or the loss of speed) gives the hardness number of the material and it can be arrived at by using any of the common hardness scales like the Brinell or Rockwell scales.
