This research aims to examine the effect of thickness coconut shell composite board on elasticity, sound absorption, water and density. The elasticity test was conducted using tensilon RTF2350 machine at Faculty Mechanical Engineering absorption level meter GM1352 Science Mathematics State University Yogyakarta. varied, its measured machine, measurement determined a with source from generator f...

Sealers are used to enhance concrete durability through their ability to prevent moisture penetration and chloride intrusion, consequently improving the freeze-thaw performance of the concrete and preventing corrosion of the steel reinforcement, respectively. This paper summarizes three years of comprehensive field and laboratory investigations which were undertaken at the University of Manitob...

The influence of fatty acids on ileal absorption of water, electrolytes, glucose, and taurocholate was examined in Thirty-Vella fistulas in five mongrel dogs. Fatty acid absorption also was measured. Segments of terminal ileum were perfused at steady state with isotonic electrolyte solutions containing 11.2 mM glucose, 4.5 mM taurocholate, and 0.1-5.0 mM fatty acid. Three C(18) fatty acids, ole...

Glycol ethers are solvents widely used alone and as mixtures in industrial and household products. Some glycol ethers have been shown to have a range of toxic effects in humans following absorption and metabolism to their aldehyde and acid metabolites. This study assessed the influence of water mixtures on the dermal absorption of butoxyethanol and ethoxyethanol in vitro through human skin. But...

Reinforced polymer composites have played an ascendant role in a variety of applications for their high meticulous strength and modulus the fiber may be synthetic or natural used to serves as reinforcement in reinforced composites. Glass and other synthetic fiber reinforced composites consists high meticulous strength but their fields of applications are restrained because of their high cost of...

Laboratory measurements of water vapor absorption using cavity ring-down spectroscopy revealed a broad absorption at 405 nm with a quadratic dependence on water monomer concentration, a similar absorption with a linear component at 532 nm, and only linear absorption at 570 nm in the vicinity of water monomer peaks. D2O ab5 sorption is weaker and linear at 405 nm. Van’t Hoff plots constructed at...

Southern pine specimens vacuum-treated with nano-zinc oxide (nano-ZnO) dispersions were evaluated for leach resistance and UV protection. Virtually, no leaching occurred in any of the nano-ZnO-treated specimens in a laboratory leach test, even at the highest retention of 13 kg/m(3). However, specimens treated with high concentrations of nano-ZnO showed 58-65% chemical depletion after 12 months ...

1) the Malkmus band model based on HITRAN 92 database: HITRAN 96 and HITRAN 99 are now available with more accurate molecular line parameters. Also ATREM employs the multiplication rule to handle transmittance in spectral regions where multiple gas absorption is present. This results in less accurate transmittance calculation in these regions, e.g., at 2.0μm where both H2O and CO2 strongly abso...

In a previous paper [Y. Dain and R. M. Lueptow, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 109, 1955 (2001)], a model of acoustic attenuation due to vibration-translation and vibration-vibration relaxation in multiple polyatomic gas mixtures was developed. In this paper, the model is improved by treating binary molecular collisions via fully pairwise vibrational transition probabilities. The sensitivity of the model ...
