Cold work - Elastic and Plastic Deformation. Cold work occurs as a consequence of plastic deformation. A discussion of elastic deformation and plastic deformation must first be made. The discussion mostly involves metals, especially steels, which are well studied. The tensile test is a popular method to study deformation mechanisms. Elastic deformation is deforming a material only slightly with a minimum-smoothly-applied force. This only slightly stretches atomic bonds in the material away from their equil ...

Covance - Ebola virus. Covance, known as Hazleton Laboratories in 1989, was at the center of a major scandal involving a strain of the Ebola virus. In November 1989 at the Hazleton Primate Quarantine Unit in Reston, Virginia, lab monkeys were found to have carried Ebola virus from the Philippines. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intervened to eradicate the infected animals, burn the complex down, and avoided a potentially disastrous outbreak. Afterwards, in February 1990, a number of infected ...

In Michael Crichton's 1968 novel The Andromeda Strain and its movie adaptation, an important plot point revolves around a scientist's epilepsy being triggered by a blinking red alarm light, triggering an absence seizure. The Pokemon episode was parodied when The Simpsons visited Japan as a program called "Seizure Robots", whose flashing eyes caused the Simpson family to roll on the ground gibbering. Flashing images have become a staple of the Fanimutation community, often with humorous on-screen references to photosens ...

The original laserdisc players shipped with the game (Pioneer LD-V1000 or PR-7820) often broke under the strain imposed by the game (the game skipped tracks to display what happened based on the players actions). Though the Pioneer players were fine in quality, laserdisc players just weren't built to undergo the strain Dragon's Lair imposed. The fact that the game was immensely popular and almost continuously played didn't help matters. As a result, the p ...

Thermodynamic systems may be prevented from relaxing to equilibrium because of the application of a mechanical field (e.g. electric or magnetic field), or because the boundaries of the system are in relative motion (shear) or maintained at different temperatures, etc. This generates two classes of nonequilibrium system: mechanical nonequilibrium systems and thermal nonequilibrium systems. The standard example of a mechanical transport process would be Ohm's law which states that at least for sufficiently small applied voltages, the current I ...

Throughout human history nations and peoples have continuously colonised and been colonised. It is said that when a foreign colonial or imperial power is too strong to be effectively resisted, the colonised population often has no other immediate option than to accept the rule of the foreigners as an inescapable reality of life. As time progresses, the colonised natives would perceive the differences between the foreigners and themselves, between the foreigner's ways and the native ways. This would then sometimes lead the natives to mimic th ...

Bog spavin is a symptom, and does not directly create lameness. Causes include synovitis (inflammation of the lining of the joint capsule), degenerative joint disease, or excessive strain of the joint capsule. In horses younger than the age of three, most cases of bog spavin are caused by a defect in the tibiotarsal joint, while in older, fully-mature horses, it is most likely because of chronic strain of the joint capsule. Many horses with bog spavin will not be lame. However, bog spavin can be a sign that the horse has joint disease ...

Some typical tensile strengths of some materials: (Source: A.M. Howatson, P.G. Lund and J.D. Todd, "Engineering Tables and Data" p41) Single-walled carbon nanotubes have the highest tensile strength of any material yet measured, with the highest single measurement of a nanotube being 63 GPa (63000 MPa). As of 2004, however, no macroscopic object constructed using a nanotube-based material has had a tensile strength remotely approaching this figure, or substa ...

The shear modulus is one of several quantities for measuring the strength of materials. All of them arise in the generalized Hooke's law. Young's modulus describes the material's response to linear strain (like pulling on the ends of a wire), the bulk modulus describes the material's response to uniform pressure, and the shear modulus describes the material's response to shearing strains. Anisotropic materials such as wood and paper are poorly described by these three moduli. In solids, there are two kinds of sound waves, pressure waves and shear waves. The speed of sound for sh ...

Piezoelectricity is the combined effect of the electrical behavior of the material: where D is volumetric charge density, is permittivity and E is electric field strength, and Hooke's Law: where S is strain, s is compliance and T is stress. These may be combined into so-called coupled equations, of which the strain-charge form is: where the superscript E indicates a zero, or constant, electric field; the superscript T indicates a zero, or constant, stress field; and ...

It is difficult to pigeonhole the politics of the students who sparked the events of May 1968, much less of the hundreds of thousands who participated in them. There was, however, a strong strain of anarchism, particularly in the students at Nanterre. While not exhaustive, the following graffiti give a sense of the millenarian and rebellious spirit, tempered with a good deal of verbal wit, of the strikers (the anti-work graffiti shows the considerable influence of the situationist movement): L'ennui est contre-révolution ...

Fracture - Brittle fracture. In brittle fracture, no plastic deformation takes place before fracture. In brittle single crystals, cleavage fracture occurs as the result of tensile stress acting normal to any of a crystal's cleavage planes. In amorphous solids, by contrast, a lack of crystallinity means that any direction may be considered a cleavage plane; the result is a conchoidal fracture, with cracks proceeding normal to the applied tension. Recently, scientists have discovered supersonic fractu ...

Recently (April 2005), a rarer but even more serious form of the disease has been observed in increasing frequency, with several cases having been found especially in California. In these cases, the bacterium causing it was a strain of Staphylococcus aureus (i.e. Staphylococcus, not Streptococcus as stated above) which is resistant against methicillin, the antibiotic one would usually use for treatment. (See Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus for details.) A fictional virus with symptoms like necrotizing fa ...

Main article: Music of Newfoundland and Labrador There are very strong connections between Newfoundland folk music and Irish music, however elements of English folk music and French-Canadian music can be heard within the style. It should be noted that a very traditional strain of Irish music exists in Newfoundland, especially in the primarily Irish-Catholic communities along the southern shore. The instrumentation in Newfoundland music includes the button accordion, guitar, violin, tin whistle and more recently th ...

A sprain (from the French espraindre - to wring) is an injury which occurs to ligaments caused by a sudden overstretching (for the muscle injury, see strain). The ligament is usually only stretched, but sometimes it can be snapped, slightly torn or ruptured, all of which are more serious and require longer to heal. Sprains are graded in three degrees. Although some signs and symptoms can be used to assess the severity of a sprain, the most definitive method is with the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). A 1° sprain has only minor tearing of the ligament whereas a 3 ...
