APPLICATION OF ACRYLIC PLASTIC TENSION LYSIMETERS TO SLOPING LAND

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Combined Plastic Bending and Compression or Tension

So far we have assumed that a plastic hinge forms if the bending moment in a critical cross section reaches the plastic limit value, M0. We have tacitly neglected the effect of the other internal forces on the formation of the yield hinge. This effect, however, can be appreciable, for example in multi-storey frames or frames with a large horizontal thrust where the axial forces are large. So, w...

Study #279: Characterizing Solute Movement in Coarse-textured, Leaching-vulnerable Soils with Zero-tension Column Lysimeters

Numerical Analysis to Investigate the Effects of the Design and Installation of Equilibrium Tension Plate Lysimeters on Leachate Volume

steel porous plates. Various control options for the tension applied to these porous plates have been advocated. The composition and quantity of leachate as it moves down through The simplest being zero tension, where no capacity to the vadose zone is seldom measured directly because sampling in this unsaturated zone at the depths required has proven to be extremely exert a tension on the plate...

Allergic sensitization of the skin and nails to acrylic plastic nails.

I RECENT months there has been made available plastic material which can be fashioned into artificial “finger-nails” that are advertised “for those who want long nails.” In addition, the plastic nails may be used by persons who wish to disguise dystrophic or diseased nails or who wish to discourage nail, biting. This plastic material is essentially the same as that used in acrylic dentures, and...
