Wholesale Silver Jewelry New York : Silver Alloys are in High Demandpandkjewelry
Nowadays, silver based alloys are being specially developed for improving upon tarnish resistance in case of multi-layer stacks. Generally, these alloys have 80-95% silver and employ platinum or gold group metals for stabilizing the properties of silver; especially when used in mildly acidic environments or exposed to moisture. It is easy to find lower cost alloys that showcase a favorable balance between performance and cost. More and more alloys are being experimented with, and they are more complex than standard binary / ternary alloys that are currently in use. These alloys can also be manufactured by using readily available equipment for production.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
The Evolution of Science Education PraxiLabs’ Vision- Presentation (2).pdfmediapraxi
The rise of virtual labs has been a key tool in universities and schools, enhancing active learning and student engagement.
💥 Let’s dive into the future of science and shed light on PraxiLabs’ crucial role in transforming this field!
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.
Monitor common gases, weather parameters, particulates.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

2. - Silver was discovered 3000 BC . Found in nature in several forms,
including pure metal in Norway and Canada and in the form of silver
chloride as in Mexico and Canada, there is usually mixed with other
metals such as gold, copper and lead.
- And are extraction and purification of silver from ores in several ways process
where crushed first, and then smelted productive mixture containing the basic
metal, a copper, lead and small amounts of silver in the process of copper
purification separate silver from copper to be a mixture called sludge then lifted
sludge treated with nitric acid to dissolve silver and then relive the way silver
electrode deposition
3. • Chemical Name – Silver
• Chemical Symbol - Ag
• Atomic Number - 47
• Chemical Series – Transition Metal
• Group 11, Period 5, Block D
• Appearance – lustrous white metal
• Silver is a little harder than gold and is very
ductile (can be pulled out into wires) and
malleable (can be beaten into sheets), being
exceeded only by gold and perhaps
palladium
General Properties
5. - Silver Is a chemicalelement .
- Crystal Structure – fcc .
possesses the highest electrical conductivity
of any element.
- the highest thermal conductivity and reflectivity of any
metal.
- While silver has long been valued as a precious metal it
is also used in currency coins, solar panels, water
filtration, jewelry and ornaments, high-value tableware
and utensils and as an investment in the forms of coins
and bullion.
- Silver is used industrially in electrical contacts
and conductors, in specialized mirrors, window coatings
and in catalysis of chemical reactions.
6. Applications
Many well-known uses of silver involves
its preciousmetal properties, including currency, decorative
items, and mirrors.
The contrast between its bright white color and other media
makes it very useful to the visual arts.
By contrast, fine silver particles form the dense black in
photographs and in silverpoint drawings.
It has also long been used to confer high monetary value as
objects (such as silver coins and investment bars) or make
objects symbolic of high social or political rank.
Silver salts have been used since the Middle Ages to produce a
yellow or orange colors to stained glass, and more complex
decorative color reactions can be produced by incorporating
silver metals in blown .
7. Currency
Silver, in the form of electrum (a gold–silver alloy), was coined to
produce money around 700 BC by the Lydians. Later, silver was
refined and coined in its pure form. Many nations used silver as
the basic unit of monetary value. In the modern world.
8. Solar energy
Solar modules mounted on solar trackers About 20g of
silver is used in every crystalline solar photovoltaic
panel made Silver is also used in plasmonic solar
cells.100 million ounces of silver are projected for use
by solar energy in 2015.
Silver is the reflective coating of choice for
concentrated solar power reflectors. In 2009, scientists
at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)
and Sky Fuelteamed to develop large curved sheets of
metal that have the potential to be 30% less expensive
than today's best collectors of concentrated solar
power by replacing glass-based models with a silver
polymer sheet that has the same performance as the
heavy glass mirrors, but at much lower cost and
weight. It also is much easier to deploy and install. The
glossy film uses several layers of polymers, with an
inner layer of pure silver.
9. Jewelry
Jewelry and silverware are traditionally made from sterling silver (standard silver), an
alloy of 92.5% silver with 7.5% copper. In the US, only an alloy consisting of at least
90.0% fine silver can be marketed as "silver" (thus frequently stamped 900). Sterling
silver (stamped 925) is harder than pure silver, and has a lower melting point (893 °C)
than either pure silver or pure copper.
10. Water purification
Silver is used in water purifiers. It
prevents bacteria and algae from
building up in filters. The catalytic
action of silver, in concert with oxygen,
sanitizes water and eliminates the
need for chlorine. Silver ions are also
added to water purification systems in
hospitals, community water systems,
pools and spas, displacing chlorine.
Dentistry
Silver can be alloyed with mercury at
room temperature to make amalgams
that are widely used for dental fillings.
To make dental amalgam, a mixture of
powdered silver and other metals such
as tin and gold is mixed with mercury
to make a stiff paste that can be
adapted to the shape of a cavity. The
dental amalgam achieves initial
hardness within minutes, and sets
hard in a few hours.
11. Photography and electronics
The use of silver in photography, in the form of silver nitrate and silver halides, has rapidly
declined due to the lower demand for consumer color film from the advent of digital
technology. From the peak global demand for photographic silver in 1999 (267,000,000
troy ounces or 8304.6 metric tonnes) the market had contracted almost 70% by 2013.Some
electrical and electronic products use silver for its superior conductivity, even when
tarnished. The primary example of this is in high quality RF connectors. The increase in
conductivity is also taken advantage of in RF engineering at VHF and higher frequencies,
where conductors often cannot be scaled by 6%, due to tuning requirements, e.g. cavity
filters. As an additional example, printed circuits and RFID antennas can be made using
silver paints,and computer keyboards use silver electrical contacts.
12. Windows
Using a process called sputtering, silver, along with other optically transparent
layers, is applied to glass, creating low emissivity coatings used in high-
performance insulated glazing. The amount of silver used per window is small
because the silver layer is only 10–15 nanometers thick. However, the amount of
silver-coated glass worldwide is hundreds of millions of square meters per year,
leading to silver consumption on the order of 10 cubic meters or 100 metric
tons/year. Silver color seen in architectural glass and tinted windows on vehicles is
produced by sputtered chrome, stainless steel or other alloys.
Silver-coated polyester sheets, used to retrofit windows, are another popular
method for reducing light transmission.
13. And it can be use also in :
- Air conditioning
- producing chemical elements : (Ethylene, Formaldehyde)
- in engines or in machines ( reduce friction because of it`s capability to take O2
- in rewards : ( silver medal )
- in other sttuff
18. Argentium sterling silver
Argentium silver is a modern sterling silver alloy which modifies the
traditional alloy (92.5% silver + 7.5% copper) by replacing some of
the copper with the metalloid germanium.As it contains at least 92.5%
silver content of the traditional alloy .
• High tarnish resistance .
• Precipitation hardening and simple
heat-hardening properties .
• Increased ductility .
• Increased thermal and electrical
resistance (making alloys suitable for
welding and laser forming) .
• Environmental advantages (associated
with not having to remove or plate over firescale) .
19. Billon (alloy)
Billon is an alloy of a precious metal (most commonly silver, but also mercury)
with a majority base metal content (such as copper). It is used chiefly for
making coins, medals, and token coins.
The use of billon coins dates from ancient Greece and continued
through the Middle Ages.
Billon coins are perhaps best known
from the Roman Empire, where
progressive debasements of the
Roman denarius .
20. Britannia silver
Britannia silver is an alloy of silver containing 95.83% by weight silver, the
balance being usually copper.
This standard was introduced in England by Act of Parliament in 1697 to
replace sterling silver (92.5% silver) .
Britannia standard silver was introduced as part of the great recoinage
scheme of William III from 1696 .
Britannia silver is considerably softer than sterling .
21. Electrum
Electrum is a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver, with trace
amounts of copper and other metals. It has also been produced
artificially, and is often known as green gold. The ancient Greeks
called it ` gold` or `white gold ` .
Its colour rang from pale to bright
yellow .
Electrum was used for the earliest
metal coins, and as early as
the third millennium BC in
Old Kingdom Egypt .
22. Goloid
Goloid is an alloy of silver, gold and copper patented by Dr. William Wheeler
Hubbell on May 22, 1877 . The patent specifies 1 part gold (about 3.6%) , 24 parts silve
(about 87.3%) , and 2.5 parts copper (about 9.1%, all by weight) .. The alloy was used
the United States Mint to strike
pattern dollars, sometimes called
“ metric dollars“ .
In the end, goloid was rejected as
a coinage metal because it could not
be distinguished from the normal U.S.
90% silver coin alloy without chemical
analysis, thus inviting counterfeiters
to use silver-copper alloys alone to
make lower-value copies.
23. Shibuichi
Shibuichi (四分一) is an alloy which can be patinated into a range of
subtle
muted shades of blue or green, through the use of rokushō treatments. Its
name means "one-fourth" in Japanese and indicates the standard
formulation of one part silver ( 5% silver) to three parts copper (95%
copper ) .
24. Sterling silver
Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by mass of silver
and 7.5% by mass of other metals, usually copper .
Fine silver, for example 99.9% pure silver, is generally too soft for
producing functional objects ;
therefore, the silver is usually alloyed
with copper to give it strength while
preserving the ductility and
appearance of the precious metal.
These replacement metals
include germanium, zinc and
platinum, as well as a variety of
other additives, including silicon
and boron .
25. Tibetan silver
Tibetan silver is used primarily in jewelry components, an
alloy of copper, and sometimes tin or nickel, with a small
percentage of pure silver. Its overall appearance is of aged
silver, but it can be polished to provide highlights on complex
castings.
