I played around with the chemistry of a pinholing glaze and noted the differences in the surface of the glaze, attempting to determine the cause of the pinholes.

Norse Platters from Bornais, by Clara Freer & Ian Dennis, Cardiff UniversityEXARC
This paper is based on work by Clara Freer, Ian Dennis, Alan Lane and Niall Sharples on the assemblage from Bornais. Excavated by N. Sharples from 1994 to 2004.
A large settlement located on the machair plain of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides.
Occupation found to spread over five mounds with most mounds contemporary during the Norse period with about 50 – 75 people occupying the site.
It was Occupied from at least 5th century AD through to the 15tb century AD.

Our objectives were:
# Understand the nature of platter production
# Consider manufacturing constraints (including the amount of clay in weight used, the temper, size, styles and different forms found on the Bornais excavations)
# Investigate their use as baking plates, how effective they are and to examine their durability
# Investigate gendered production through an examination of the size of the finger print impressions found on platters from Bornais
# Examine and compare our platters to the ones from Bornais

The Iraqi Ministry of Health endorses an upcoming healthcare summit in Erbil where improving the pharmaceutical sector will be a top priority. Over 26% of Iraq's public healthcare budget is allocated to pharmaceuticals, with $1.2 billion spent on drugs in 2012, expected to rise to $1.5 billion in 2013. The Ministry of Health is pushing to develop Iraq's healthcare system and import over 1,000 types of multi-purpose drugs. The summit will connect Iraqi healthcare leaders with international pharmaceutical companies to help strengthen Iraq's pharmaceutical sector.
This document describes a reference design for an HVAC coil airflow sensor system used for predictive maintenance of air filter replacement. The system monitors airflow efficiency and temperature through HVAC systems using solid state relays, piezoelectric vibration sensors, and a temperature sensor. It alerts when airflow drops below a threshold and can shut off the condenser if the evaporator coil temperature falls too low. The design uses an MSP430 microcontroller, temperature sensor, vibration sensors, logic gates, regulators, and other components to monitor and control the HVAC system based on airflow and temperature conditions.

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.

Title: Gravitational wave detection with orbital motion of Moon and artificial
Abstract:
In this talk I will describe some recent ideas to find gravitational waves from supermassive black holes or of primordial origin by studying their secular effect on the orbital motion of the Moon or satellites that are laser ranged.
Current Ms word generated power point presentation covers major details about the micronuclei test. It's significance and assays to conduct it. It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use.

Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
3. Examples of Woo Yellow original recipe.
Pinholes when glaze is very thick.
No pinholes where thin.
4. Typical firing temp:
Hot Cone 6
Clay body:
Plainsman M340
Type of pinholes:
Mainly bubbles contained
within the glaze.
Most don’t tend to
penetrate through to the
clay body.

(500g sample)
+ 1 drop of Darvan + 3 drops of Darvan
7. Woo 3 + 4% RIO + 20% Zircopax
+ 1 drop of Darvan + 3 drops of Darvan
Did Darvan fix the pinholing issue? It’s hard to say. It appears
that way, but it could be that the glaze coating is thinner in the 2nd
sample, resulting in less pinholes. Remember, it only pinholes
where thick. More testing required.

SAME GLAZES - NO PINHOLES
Possible Reasons: Hotter firing?
Longer time between adding of Darvan and dipping of tile – Darvan had more time to
incorporate into the mixture?
13. Woo 8b

This glaze seems to be underfired.

16. Woo 9 base Woo 9 plus 4% RIO
OBSERVATION: Dimpling occurs when RIO is added.
Appears to be healed over pinholes.
17. Woo 9 plus 4% RIO Woo 9 + 4% RIO
+ 10% Zircopax
OBSERVATION: The pinholes increase when we add zircopax.
Is the refractory nature of zircopax raising the melting temp of the glaze?
The bubbles healed over without the zircopax.
They didn’t heal over with the zircopax.
Could this be fixed by a longer/hotter firing?
18. CONCLUSION: RIO seems to be the cause of pinholes in this
glaze. The solution to eliminating these pinholes could be simply
a hotter or slower firing, giving bubbles more time to heal over. It
could possibly be solved by adding more Darvan and/or allowing
the Darvan to sit in the glaze longer before testing. More testing
is needed before any conclusion can be drawn.
