The capacity of the refrigerator' is approximately 44 cubic feet. The cabinet is insulated throughout with 4 inches of compressed cork, encased outside with painted plywood and inside with stipple-glazed asbestos sheeting. Internal lighting is provided with automatic operation on opening and closing the doors. Cooling is by means of a Prestcold plate type of evaporator and serviced by a Prestco...

Today advanced 3D virtual environments are mostly based on either a technology known as the cave or head-mounted displays. A new type of head-mounted display, which consists of a pair of miniature projection lenses and displays mounted on the helmet and retro-reflective sheeting materials placed strategically in the environment, has been proposed as an alternative to eyepiece optics types of di...

Abstract Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae; red imported fire ant) is an invasive species in several parts of the world. A major contributor to spread S. infested shipping containers. The vapor allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), a naturally occurring organosulfur compound, highly toxic ; however, AITC volatile. Microencapsulation polyethylene (PE) resin slows release AITC, making it p...

Strengthening of composite beams is highly needed to upgrade the capacities existing beams. The strengthening methods can be classified as active or passive techniques. Therefore, main purpose this study provide detailed FE simulations for strengthened and unstrengthened steel–concrete at sagging hogging moment regions with without profiled steel sheeting. developed models were verified against...
