Fraction Research Papers Samples For Students

Introduction:

The rheocasting process entails the application of semi-solid slurry in metal casting. The process has numerous benefits that are directly connected to solid fractioning during the duration of casting. The process is also known as the semi-liquid casting because it involves the usage of the slurry in the semi-liquid or semi-solid state. The process can be said to consist of two stages, slurry making and direct slurry casting. The method was first developed by R. Shibata for commercial purposes at Hitachi Co. Ltd (Beeley & Smart, 2004).

Monopolistic and oligopolistic competition: theory and examples

Introduction
One of the most important characteristics of an industry is its competitiveness. It often determines how profitable the businesses within this industry are or potentially can be, whether they have incentives to provide quality products and happy the customers are purchasing the products. In microeconomics, three types of market competition are usually being considered: monopoly, oligopoly and perfect competition. Monopoly implies that there is sole supplier of a good or service in the market who is a price setter and most often exploits its monopolistic power to derive excessive profits. The opposite to it is perfect ...

Abstract

Oxidation is a common problem in olive oil due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acid, this leads to nutritional losses and quality degradation, especially under microwave heating. A number of studies have been done to add natural antioxidants to reduce oxidation. This project examines the possible application of olive leaves to reduce or inhibit olive oil oxidation under microwave heating. Olive leaves were able to increase the total polyphenol content as well as reducing the peroxide value in olive oil. However, the microwave heating caused severe quality degradation (increasing peroxide value and reducing total polyphenol) especially after 10 ...

Abstract

Knowledge on phase equilibrium behavior plays a central role in the prediction of the solubility of the components found in biodiesel. This aids in the separation process of the individual components. These components are normally referred to as volatile organic compounds. It is crucial to use models in the determination of these equilibriums since actual measurements are costly and lingering.
There are several types of biodiesels: methyl oleate, ethyl stearate, and methyl linolenate. UNIFAV procedure can be used in the determination of of an estimate of the infinite dilution activity of several volatile organic compounds in biodiesels. A mole ...

The Solow Model

For long, the concept of economic change has been interesting economists. The reasons why some of the countries are poor while others are rich or even the understanding of why some nations grow faster than others has constantly disturbed the understanding of most economists. The theory of economic growth has been put upfront in explaining the growth indices of different nations. In its place, the theory of economic growth aims at explaining whether poor countries can grow faster than their rich counterparts, catch up with them and close their income gaps, that is converge. Elaborated by Trevor Swan and ...

Introduction

The United States is one of the most developed countries, but it is also one of the countries with the highest level of income inequality. According to research, more than half of the nation’s income goes to only 5% of the population, while the remaining half is shared by the 95%. One way of measuring a nation’s income inequality is through the Gini coefficient. The Gini coefficient measures income inequality on a scale of 0 to 1 wherein 0 corresponds to total equality; a scenario wherein everyone is earning the same amount while 1 corresponds to total ...

Introduction

The distinction between how the West and the East control their local affairs, and how they organize their institutions is enormous. In a normal context, though, even two states in similar vicinity exhibit major differences in individual economic policies, religious inclination, and political systems. Notwithstanding that, it is important to appreciate the similarities and dissimilarities that manifest due to the location in certain regions. The case of Saudi Arabia and France is a good one to understand how regional influences affect, the systems of government, political institutions, faith and economic policies of a state. For instance, the Saudi Arabia ...

Background

Solow Growth Model is one of the basic Macroeconomic model in the neoclassical era. It was first introduced by Robert Solow in 1956 (Verner, 1995). The model tries to explain the long term economic growth of an economy. The dependent variable of the Solow Model is long term rate of economic growth (output) and independent variables are capital accumulation, labor (also expressed in terms of population growth) and increase in productivity (technological innovation) (Verner, 1995).

Early Canadian Multicultural Policy towards Ethnic Minorities: A Historical Background

It is significant to see that early Canadian multicultural policies towards ethnic minorities must be interpreted in two different outlooks. Firstly, there was a Government official policy towards the French Canadians. Throughout the British colonial era, British authorities generally enforced multicultural policies that were both prejudiced and assimilative with the aim to bring this ethnic group into the British control. Since Confederation, nevertheless, French Canadians were able to gain significant political and legal independence rights. This consisted of some political freedom through the acknowledgment of Quebec as a province, representation in political bodies, and legal language rights.
In contrast, there ...

- Introduction
Radiations such as  - rays, UV rays, etc. have ionizing effects on tissues and have the ability kill cells and inactivate viruses. A detailed analysis of the survival of such cells and viruses are imperative in many fields, including radiation oncology, public health and environmental photobiology. However, the mathematical and statistical tools based on target theory in radiobiology are mentioned in literature (Alpen, 1988, Smith, 1989, Hall, 2000) and are wide in use in the analysis of experimental data involving biophysical mechanisms of the repair of radiation damage. This work demonstrates the use of probabilistic approaches ...

Abstract

The acute respiratory distress syndrome is a form of injury to the lungs that impedes the supply and uptake of oxygen from the alveoli resulting in a state of severe hypoxemia, dyspnea, anxiety, and tachypnea. This review has established that genetics may be playing a role in increasing one’s susceptibility to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS. Moreover, biomarkers would also play a significant role in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. However, it still remains unclear on the type of genes and biomarkers that play a role in causing ARDS. It has also been established that young children (less than 2 years ...

Introduction
Pi is a mathematical constant that expresses the ratio of the circumference to the length of its diameter. Denoted by the Greek letter π.
First symbol of this number by the Greek letter π was taken by British mathematician Jones in 1706, and it became common after the works of Leonhard Euler in 1737.

This designation comes from the initial letters of the Greek words περιφέρεια - circle, peripherals and περίμετρος - perimeter.

History
History of the number π ran parallel with the development of mathematics. Some authors divide the process into 3 periods: the ancient period during which π was studied from the standpoint of geometry, classical era, which ...

Introduction

Many are often amazed at the term hydraulic Fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing is a technique that involves typical mixing of water with chemicals and sand, under high pressure. The mixture is injected into wellbore to create small fractures where fluids such as petroleum, gas, brine water and uranium-bearing solution might migrate to the well. It is at this point that some have voiced their concern on the possible pollution of ground water due to the injection of these chemicals to the ground (Spellman 45). However, others have also supported the process so strongly citing that the amount of chemicals released in ...

Hydraulic fracturing or fracking is a technique that involves typical mixing of water with chemicals and sand, under high pressure. The mixture is injected into wellbore to create small fractures where fluids such as petroleum, gas, brine water and uranium-bearing solution might migrate to the well. The hydraulic pressure is removed from such well and small proppant grains are used in holding the fractures open when the rock achieves equilibrium. This technique is common in wells for tight gas, shale gas, coal seam gas and tight oil. Such well stimulation is carried out once in the well’s life time ...

Memorization is a primary concern among many individuals, and many are in dire need of the memory improvement techniques in order to enhance their memorization. In order to critically analyze how effective the memory improvement training techniques are, it is vital to have an depth understanding of the differences between memory losses that occur suddenly and those the occur gradually such as memory loss associated with aging (Dingfelder, 2005). Various psychologists have proposed various training techniques that can help in the attainment of memory improvement (Kennedy, 2010). The prime concern of such techniques is their effectiveness in helping in memory ...

Introduction

Despite the fact that there is a lot of science involved in today’s time and calendar management, the start of this journey was based on very flexible logic, one of the earliest Roman Calendars was based on a thirty day lunar cycle and included an eight-day market week. In reality this eight-day week did not have any scientific logic but was based on the fact that this was the time taken for processing of Goat’s cheese. The first calendar included four months of thirty days each and March, April, May and June were the months that were named based ...

For far too long, humanity has been content with unquestioned faith in subjective knowledge passed down from generation to generation. This has been especially true on issues regarding the origins of our species and, indeed, the universe. However, in the last 100 years, a new culture has emerged. A culture rooted in the ideals espoused by such trailblazers as Bertrand Russell; a belief in scientific understanding of the world we live in and veneration of acquisition of knowledge. The human race is no longer content with fables and fairy tales. We want to know how, when and why our universe came ...
