Introduction

Thin films are in use since ages, and in old times people used to beat gold with hammers into thin films about less than one μm thickness and then used this thin film for gold coating of different stuffs. Thin films are used in many materials and do use them in daily life but are not aware of it. If one wax cars or paint homes that mean, they are applying a thin film.

Introduction
Common materials used in deconstruction, renovation, and demolition sites include wood, bricks and blocks, concrete, metals and glass. They may be discarded now, but they can still be reused and recycled into other products in many ways. Typically, disposal of construction wastes are done through recycling, incineration, and disposal (Ackerman and Gallagher, 2002, Ganiron, 2014a). The construction wastes have great potential for the mitigation of the environmental impacts as based upon the material’s life cycle (Knoeri et al, 2013).

This project deals with the process of recycling the pulled down ...

Literature review

In the history of the construction of sea structures in oil exploration, load and corrosion together with how those structures will be maintained have always posed a scientific nightmare. Chamberlain, Adam and other authors in a scientific journal illustrate that for a good design of an onshore structure, there should be a right proportion of the ingredients in order for the structure to give maximum life service. They all agreed that in order to achieve this, keen interest should be paid to the permeability, strength, and durability of the mixture. Finally, they added that for effective control of corrosion, ...

Introduction

Concrete refers to the mixture of Portland cement of any other form of hydraulic cement, fine, aggregate, the coarse aggregate, and water that could be with or without water. Concrete remains to be an ancient material of construction that was first in use in the Roman Empire. In the present world, concrete is part of the sophisticated material to which other constituents can be subject to add to produce a product that is capable of achieving the 50,000-psi compressive strength. According to Koren & Hall (2012, p. 35), the strength of concrete is subject to consider being the most ...

Literature Review on Carbon Fibers

This paper sums up a literature review on a unique and astounding development in the field of Science, known as carbon fibers. Although, they were discovered during late 1800s for the first time, their true potential was not realized until mid 20th century, and even today, researchers are experimenting over new areas of application for carbon fibers. The paper will further discuss; different areas of application, the composition, structure and characteristics of the carbon fibers used, along with a list of merits and demerits of using carbon fiber in place of a traditional alternative in modern engineering.

Carbon fibers have molded into many ...

Introduction

Robert Smithson examines the protocols of the standard modern aesthetics. His arguments point to the development of a limitlessness approach into art inspection, whereby art may exist in the mind of the observer in an abstract fashion. He sees the natural world as the foundation on which the ideological characters of people’s concepts emerge. Smithson indicates that boundaries and protocols do not exist for all artists in the same way. The mind of the artists is as vast and abstract as the earth’s surface. In earth projects, both real and fictional elements interact and trade places. According to ...

Perhaps the most important advance in using new building materials is the development of concrete which is more durable. New- age concrete is flexible and endows all kinds of structures, buildings, roads, sewers and bridges which last for a very long time. The construction industry in the world is becoming modern and advance, however, there is still the problem of building defects which need to be addressed.
Defects to concrete facades of different buildings pose safety danger to the public; hence there is a need and formidable challenge to rethink on the issue. Successful remediation requires an adequate understanding of ...

Long-Term Effects of Exposure to Mass Trauma and Resettlement amongst Vietnamese Refugees in Australia

The short-to-medium-term adverse effects of exposure to mass trauma and displacement amongst refugee populations have been studied empirically. Findings from epidemiological studies have revealed that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression are two most prevalent mental disorders in these populations. The prevalence of these two disorders amongst refugee populations is higher than that of non-refugee populations (Fazel, Wheeler, & Danesh, 2005). This indicates that exposure to mass violence and trauma significantly contributes to psychological disability. PTSD plays an appreciable role in the development of depression (Kessler, 2000). The two categories of mental illnesses prevalent amongst refugees, PTSD and depression, are ...

Overview

Islamic architecture is based on the traditions of the Muslim community dating as far back as the seventh century. It is well elaborated in traditional Muslim religious buildings such as the mosque and the madrasa. It is believed that the early Islamic architecture drew its designs from Christian architectural features which included columnar arches, mosaics, and domes. Additionally, the architecture included characteristics such as semicircular horseshoe arch and rich decorated surfaces (Ali et.al, 15). On the other hand, modern architecture is used to refer to architectural designs that emerged in the first half of the twentieth century and extensively ...

The use of breath analysis to determine the state of a person’s health is a concept that dates back millennia (Gouma 26). Cardiovascular disease is an ailment for which current analysis methods involve invasive sampling. It has been suggested that the amount of cholesterol in blood can be measured by the amount of isoprene (Karl et al. 762) or carbon dioxide (Amann 34) in the breath.
One of the early methods to detect isoprene in breath is based on proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) (Karl et al. 762-763). In this technique, the breath sample is made to ...
