Skinner, Molnar Suarez (1964) studied the cement-forming potential of 28 liquid aromatic carboxylic acids with zinc oxide. Twelve yielded cohesive products of some merit. Of particular interest were cements formed with hydrocinnamic, cyclohexane carboxylic, p-tertiary butyl-benzoic, thiobenzoic and cyclohexane butyric acids. One of these cements is on the market as a non-eugenol cement. It is very weak with a compressive strength of 4 0 MPa, a tensile strength of 11 MPa and a modulus of 177 MPa, and is only suitable as a temporary material (Powers, Farah Craig, 1976).

Miniaturization of electrochemical power sources, in particular batteries and fuel cells, has been described as a critical—but missing—component in transitioning from in-lab capability to the freedom of autonomous devices and systems. - In top-down approaches, macroscopic power sources are scaled to the microlevel usually by the use of fabrication methods, often in combination with new materials. Power generation schemes that can themselves be microfabricated are particularly appealing, as they can lead to a one-stop fabrication of device/machine function with an integrated power source. 

Belt conveyors are for high capacity and long distances (a mile or more, but only several hundred feet in a plant), up inclines of 30° maximum. A 24 in. wide belt can carry 3000 cuft/hr at a speed of lOOft/min, but speeds up to 600ft/min are suited to some materials. Power consumption is relatively low.

The tetrachalcogenotetracenes comprise another important class of tetrasubsti-tuted tetracene compounds and one of the first classes of materials studied as organic conductors [66]. The myriad of structures and electronic properties of these materials have been reviewed in detail in a number of papers [67]. However, two keys to the remarkable electronic properties of this class of compounds are the ability of the chalcogen substituents to stabilize the oxidized form of the aromatic ring (making these materials powerful electron donors, to the point that they are highly susceptible to air oxidation) and the jr-stacked nature of the molecules in...

Accountants in industrial plants maintain records on actual expenditures for labor, materials, power, etc., and the maintenance and interpretation of these records is known as actual or post-mortem cost accounting. From these data, it is possible to make accurate predictions of the future cost of the particular plant or process. These predictions are very valuable for determining future capital requirements and income, and represent an important type of cost accounting known as standard cost accounting. Deviations of standard costs from actual costs are designated as variances. 

The total product cost per unit of time may be divided into the two classifications of operating costs and organization costs. Operating costs depend on the rate of production and include expenses for direct labor, raw materials, power, heat, supplies and similar items which are a function of the amount of material produced. Organization costs are due to expenses for directive personnel, physical equipment, and other services or facilities which must be maintained irrespective of the amount of material produced. Organization costs are independent of the rate of production. 

A resonant damper functions as follows At the resonance frequency (as determined by the mass and the stiffness), the input impedance to the base of the damper becomes resistive and rises to a relatively high value, which is proportional to the moving mass and inversely proportional to the loss factor of the viscoelastic material. Power, therefore, flows into the damper and is dissipated.

Overall economy in terms of human effort, materials, power, etc., in the production and exchange of goods. Standards promote economy through variety reduction. The nature of the standard will determine where the reduction lies, for example in a range of product sizes, a number of different types of equipment, or a variety of test methods.

Carbon nanotubes (lijima, 1991 Dresselhaus et al., 1996) are a specific type of one-dimensional nanomaterial that has sparked people s imaginations. A cover story in American Scientist magazine a few years ago noted that carbon nanotubes could be used to build a space cable connecting the Earth and moon. News from NASA indicates that, in the near future, spacecraft may be based solely on carbon material—powered by either fuel cells based on carbon materials or lithium-iron batteries based on nanomaterials. Carbon materials also were featured very prominently in the recent national nanotechnology initiative and were mentioned in the President s State of the Union address, in which he referred to carbon nanotubes as a thousand times stronger than steel.
