![]() ![]() The biomass powers up the Gardens' Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system, together with photovoltaic collectors, that produce electricity for the garden’s own use. Besides replacing the conventional air-conditioning system with a centralized district cooling system, the project applies sustainable energy solutions through the burning of biomass generated from the Gardens and other parks in Singapore. The integrated system of cool conservatories and ‘Supertrees’ showcase the application of sustainable energy solutions. The South Bay Garden, home to the Supertrees and completed in 2009, is estimated to have cost more than $1 billion. The canopy is estimated to save 30 percent in energy consumption, compared to conventional methods of cooling. Designed by Grant Associates (UK), the Supertrees host more than 162,900 plants comprising more than 200 species and varieties of bromeliads, orchids, ferns and tropical flowering climbers. The entire landscaping project was shepherded by Singapore’s National Parks Board to create a “city in a garden” rather than a garden in a city. Gardens by the Bay Cloud Forest ©2014 Gardens by the Bay The Supertrees even support a restaurant at the top of the tallest tree, as well as a 128-meter-long aerial walkway experience connecting several trees 22 meters above the ground. Some of the Supertrees harvest rainwater and solar energy, and some are integrated with the conservatories to serve as air intake and exhaust towers that help mitigate ambient temperatures by absorbing and dispersing heat. They support gardens of flowering climbers, orchids, and ferns, with canopies that provide shade and shelter in the equatorial climate. The Supertrees are tree-like structures 80 to 160 feet (25 to 50 meters) tall, that are a fusion of the environment, creativity, and technology. To generate electricity, 11 of the supertrees are fitted with solar photovoltaic systems that convert sunlight into energy to provide lighting and water technology within the conservatories below. ![]() Called Supertrees, they behave as vertical gardens - generating solar power, acting as exhaust air towers for nearby conservatories, and collecting rainwater on this island in Southeast Asia, just south of the Malay Peninsula. ![]() Project Solar Trees in City Gardens (Singapore)Ī spectacular grove of solar trees is rooted along Marina Bay in Singapore as part of the 250-acre (101 hectares) Gardens by the Bay city park. ![]()

![]() ![]() But this shape can be harder to grip for small hands, and the cup won’t fit in most car cupholders. The wide mouth makes adding ingredients easy, and it’s also easier to remove thick items like nut butter from this type of cup. One thing to note: The thick Tritan plastic 3-cup-capacity cup is wider and squatter than most other models. It comes with a storage lid and a drinking lid the latter also has a drinking cap with an adjustable carry loop. If for some reason the blender won’t start, color-coded lights indicate why (e.g., amber flashing lights mean the motor is overloaded a flashing red light means the contents are too hot to safely blend). The Beast made quick work of smoothies with both fresh and frozen fruit, blended ice into slush with just a few pulses, and made a good batch of nut butter without breaking a sweat (and without any metallic blender smell, thanks to internal sensors that prevent overheating). But it isn’t just good looks that won our favor its powerful 1,000-watt motor delivers. With its unusual hourglass-shaped design, this blender is eye-catching right out of the box. Loading up the blender the wrong way and/or turning the blender on top speed for every task can ruin your blender’s motor. Make sure the manual gives you insight on best practices for loading the blender and which speed to use for different tasks.
![]() ![]() Therefore, comparison is best carried on results determined using the same technique. Results measured by laser diffraction can be compared with results measured by DLS and vice versa, but this comparison must always be assumed to include a significant deviation. Deciding on which technique to use for the particle analysis of a specific substance requires consideration of a number of factors, including the goal of the measurement (e.g., measurement of primary particles or agglomerates), the available sample amount, ease of sample preparation, measurement duration, and the nature of expected impurities. Laser diffraction and dynamic light scattering are particle sizing methods that are well-established in both research and industry. The accuracy of results and the repeatability (relative standard deviation %) have to be considered, e.g., RSD <5 %. There is no sedimentation risk like with the DLS technique. The intensity signal is stronger and results are related to the particle volume dispersion via ultrasound, stirring, and circulation ensure that particles remain in suspension. Low relative standard deviation (RSD, % e.g., 10 µm).Possible to measure at different temperatures with the suitable accessory Liquid dispersions (liquid/liquid, powder/liquid)Īlways possible, typically from 0 ☌ up to 90 ☌ The following points should be taken into account: The median (D 50) should be considered to get a more accurate “average particle size”.Mean size is based on different weightings: D based on volume HDD based on intensity.In order to directly compare the technologies, the results of a DLS measurement have to be recalculated to obtain a volume-based distribution.The following considerations are crucial for understanding the difference in the results and the inaccuracy of the comparison: Understanding the difference between DLS and laser diffraction results ![]() Therefore, calculations from the raw data are always more reliable than a recalculation. However, any kind of recalculation will introduce an error that adds to the initial one related to the assumption of spherical particles. When using the dynamic light scattering technique, it is possible to recalculate the volume-weighted distribution as well as D-values. To decrease the deviation, the same weighting model should be used for comparison. The DLS particle size analysis technique and laser diffraction method provide results which are based on different equivalent diameters and weighting models.įor many samples, then, results measured with DLS and laser diffraction are not directly comparable and a deviation of 10 % or more between the results is to be expected. Is it possible to compare DLS results with laser diffraction results? Which parameters should be compared? aerodynamic, hydrodynamic, optical, electrical) to that of the investigated non-spherical particle. *According to the IUPAC definition, the equivalent diameter of a non-spherical particle is equal to a diameter of a spherical particle that exhibits identical properties (e.g. The refractive index does not have any function in this case. Recalculation of the volume-based distribution to a surface- and number-based one is possible. Recalculation of the intensity-based distribution to a number- and volume-based one is possible when the refractive index of the particles is known. Peak analysis (area under the curve, standard deviation).D, mean volume diameter (De Brouckere Mean Diameter).Polydisperse sample: Peak analysis of particle size distribution graph.The particle’s contribution relates to its volume equivalent to mass for constant density.Intensity fluctuations of scattered light.In this case, the cross-sectional area becomes nearly the same as that of a sphere with equal volume (2).For particles ≤0.1 µm, the definition can be extended into volume-equivalent diameter.Laser diffraction equivalent diameter: diameter of a sphere having on the cross-sectional area the same diffraction pattern as the investigated particle (1).Where kB is the Boltzmann constant, T the absolute temperature, and η the viscosity of the liquid medium, D is the translational diffusion coefficient Diameter of a sphere with the same translational diffusion coefficient D as the particle in the same fluid under the same conditions, defined via the Stokes-Einstein equation:.The final particle size distribution is obtained from the sum of diffraction patterns produced by the particles randomly oriented along the direction of the laser beam.angle (diffraction pattern) is a function of the particle size The diffracted/scattered intensity vs.The movement of dispersed particles causes intensity fluctuations of scattered light, which are measured and converted to particle size and particle size distribution (Stokes-Einstein equation).The velocity of particle movement is a function of the particle size. ![]() ![]() ![]() If the community continues to grow and the reaction is good, we’re likely to add more stuff to the game. We’re going to take it one day at a time, and see what the reaction is to the game. PS4B: Due to the game’s nature, and considering the PS4 version releases along with the Elephantastic update with new content, will the team focus on additional content by way of DLC to be released in 2018? Anything you can tell us about that? There were a number of major changes that we made throughout development, a few examples include: adding online multiplayer more than halfway through the development of the game, changing our scoring system entirely a few months before launch, and adding Challenge Mode (which you can see in our latest trailer) while doing console ports. We added a ton of stuff after Steam launch, and we’ve been adding more content as well while doing the console ports (i.e., changing the game to make it work on PS4 and other consoles). At that point, however, the game was nowhere near the state it’s in now. We started working full-time on the game in January 2015, and launched on Steam in March 2016.

![]() ![]() I print a colored class-set of the table front/back (there is more information on the back of the squares), and a worksheet for each student. These include the number of valence electrons, atomic radius, number of electron shells, reactivity, boiling and melting points, electron affinity and electronegativity, and more! My most favorite activity to jump-start a unit on Atoms and the Periodic Table is this Periodic People activity. The Periodic Table is an amazing tool because it has SO MANY patterns embedded in it. I love this unit because the growth in my students’ understanding is so significant and they undergo a transformation before my eyes! With the exception of the occasional chemistry-obsessed student, most of my students start out this unit thinking that the Periodic Table is some sort of super complex graphic for brainiacs and mad scientists, or they simply think it’s an absolute bore.īut after a few weeks of study, they can navigate the families of elements on the table, interpret atomic structure based on an element’s position on the table, and glean information about how different atoms will interact with one another! Experiencing my students fall in love with the Periodic Table is amazing every year! In this post, I’m sharing some of my favorite activities to teach my middle school students about the Periodic Table. Meyer formed his periodic law based on the atomic volume or molar volume, which is the atomic mass divided by the density in solid form.The unit that I most love to teach is Atoms and the Periodic Table. ![]() They both arranged the elements by their mass and proposed that certain properties periodically reoccur. Mendeleev created the first periodic table and was shortly followed by Meyer. The Periodic Law The periodic law was developed independently by Dmitri Mendeleev and Lothar Meyer in 1869.Table Basics The periodic table of elements is one of the ways that scientists keep track of all the known elements.When a neutral atom gains or loses an electron, creating an anion or cation, the atom's radius increases or decreases, respectively. ![]() Neutral atoms tend to increase in size down a group and decrease across a period. One such trend is closely linked to atomic radii - ionic radii. Common periodic trends include those in ionization energy, atomic radius, and electron affinity. Periodic Trends in Ionic Radii An understanding of periodic trends is necessary when analyzing and predicting molecular properties and interactions.Periodic trends, arising from the arrangement of the periodic table, provide chemists with an invaluable tool. Major periodic trends include: electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radius, melting point, and metallic character. Periodic Trends Page notifications Off Share Table of contents Periodic trends are specific patterns that are present in the periodic table that illustrate different aspects of a certain element, including its size and its electronic properties.Understanding these trends is done by analyzing the elements electron configuration all elements prefer an octet formation and will gain or lose electrons to form that stable configuration. All of these elements display several other trends and we can use the periodic law and table formation to predict their chemical, physical, and atomic properties. Periodic Properties of the Elements The elements in the periodic table are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. ![]() These trends exist because of the similar atomic structure of the elements within their respective group families or periods, and because of the periodic nature of the elements. Periodic trends, arising from the arrangement of the periodic table, provide chemists with an invaluable tool to quickly predict an element's properties. Periodic trends are specific patterns that are present in the periodic table that illustrate different aspects of a certain element, including its size and its electronic properties. ![]() ![]() We chose one with the ability to run modern versions of macOS (10.15 Catalina and 11 Big Sur in particular). For the purpose of this article, we looked no further than the OWC website to find a Mac mini. There’s another very compelling reason to use a Mac mini – older models are inexpensive. Why use a Mac mini instead of a Mac with a built-in screen? You probably have a large-screen TV to watch your content on, and the mini can use that as a “monitor”. Stream online content and make use of the media you've already bought and paid for. You can stream online content and make use of the media you’ve already bought and paid for. With fast internet service and purchased physical media, a media server running Plex offers the best of both worlds. Have you made a large investment in music CDs and movies or TV shows on DVD or Blu-Ray? Don’t buy that again in a streaming format – use that investment by copying the physical media content to your server.With a local media server, there’s no delay or concern about bandwidth. That could make streaming movies, TV shows, and music almost impossible. You might be living in an area with very slow Internet service.Why build a media server when an Apple TV can provide just about every type of media you’d want? There are a few good reasons: These are illegal and should not be used or installed. ![]() NOTE: Several of these alternatives provide third-party add-ons that allow free streaming of paid video content. Others that you may wish to consider include Emby, Kodi, Stremio, and Universal Media Server. Why Plex? It’s the most popular media server app for macOS. In this article, we’re using a Mac mini as the hardware and Plex as the application to organize the media. ![]() Media servers range from servers that provide video on demand to smaller personal computers or NAS (Network Attached Storage) for the home. Wikipedia defines a media server as follows:Ī media server is a computer appliance or an application software that stores digital media (video, audio or images) and makes it available over a network. Read along to see how we were able to transform a 2014 Mac mini into a home media server. Macs have good longevity and older units are usable for a variety of purposes other than day-to-day work. The old 21.5-inch iMac becomes a FaceTime “videophone” for Grandma. An old MacBook becomes a school laptop for one of the kids. ![]() Old Macs never die, they just get reused.

The Solus Prime could forge anything from the universe that she desired by reshaping molecures, so forth. Vector Prime straddles the Multiverse and lives in his own pocket dimension. The Thirteen would seem to have that kind of power. With Multiversal Entities and The Nexus, with Alternity and Shattered Glass, that's a definitive element of a "Type V and Beyond". However, there's another issue that is mentioned on the scale that is prevalent in Transformers. Galactic engineering and influence: Check. Interstellar Travel and Communication: Check. So, when you ignore the power harvesting and look instead at the capabilities as so nicely listed on the provided Wikipedia page, it would seem like most Transformer Franchises are a Type III civilization. He can draw power from another universes black hole. Those abilities require vast amounts of power to pull off and they do it with their own bodies! Megatron himself is practically a Type V Civilization himself Ĭlick to expand. Megatron and Metroplex can utilize antimatter, Devastator and others can fire blasts hotter then the surface of the sun, Shockwave can emit any kind of wavelength from the EM spectrum, including X/Gamma rays, etc. Then you've got the abilities of Transformers themselves. Transwarp, Quantum Jump, and other FTL methods, Space/Ground Bridges, fusion cannons, and manufacturing capabilities that have to be highly consumptive, but we never see what's paying those energy bills. In other words, Transformers have some really advanced technology that seems to run either on Energon or on some other very energy rich source. The next problem is that the resource acquisition and the expenditure abilities don't really line up. Then you've got the various super energy sources, like Rarified Energon that is the building blocks of creation and the requirements to do something like that is just enormous. A few Animated Energon Cubes could power intersteller flight across vast distances with speeds far faster then light (and Space Bridges seem to last a long time without needing to be recharged, despite opening bridges that forces two distant locations of spacetime to touch each other for ease of transport), they also had a two galactic empires, the Autobot Commonwealth and the Decepticon Empire, both dozens of planets all under their control. A single Energon Star was sufficient to open and power a wormhole for several seconds. ![]() With other franchises, such as Energon and Animated, Energon seems to have a form that has even higher energy densities. Given relative energy densities, it's possible a single "real" Energon Cube could power a small community for months. While G1 showed everything being used to be stored in Energon Cubes, the pilot also showed those kind of assembled (oil filled) cubes being compressed from a dozen or more down to create a single "real" Energon Cube. Because throughout all the various incarnations and oddities in animation, we don't have a real bearing on just how potent Energon is or what other power sources Transformers utilize for non-lifeblood power sources. The problem with trying to apply the Kardashev scale to Transformers is that Transformers doesn't use a standard energy scale. ![]() ![]() For example, you cannot get the 30 Bomb Bag without the 20 Bomb Bag first, addressing an issue where you would receive a corrupt item.
