The evaluation of the mass of a cubic inch of distilled water, as at present accepted, was based on weighings made in 1798 by Sir G. Shuckburgh ('Phil. Trans.,’ 1798, p. 133); and on measurements made in 1821 by Captain Kater (‘ Phil. Trans.,’ 1821, pp. 316 and 326). Subsequent researches however, particularly those in relation to the mass of a cubic decimetre, show that it is desirable to re-determine the mass of the cubic inch of distilled water. The result of Shuckburgh’s experiments was that the cubic inch of distilled water at the temperature of 66° Fahr., the barometer being at 29·74 inches, weighed 252·422 grains, and this value as corrected by Captain Kater, became 252·458 grains at the temperature of 62° Fahr., the barometer being at 30 inches; or in vacuo ( t . = 62° Fahr.) the cubic inch of distilled water wreighed 252·724 grains. This corrected value, 252·458 grains, has been adopted in various legislative enactments;— for instance the Weights and Measures Act, 5 Geo. IV., c. 74, section 5 (1824), declared that “a cubic inch of distilled water, weighed in air by brass weights, at the temperature of sixty-two degrees of Fahrenheit’s thermometer, the barometer being at thirty inches, is equal to two hundred and fifty-two grains and four hundred and fifty-eight thousandth parts of a grain, of which the imperial standard Troy pound contains five thousand seven hundred and sixty.”

The study compares flexural strength of single polymer polyester composites. Composites under examination had the form of laminates differing in the content of the reinforcement phase and the type of material subject to simulated absorption of distilled water and sea water. Simulation tests of distilled water and sea water absorption for single polymer polyester composites with 5% to 20% reinforcing phase were made in accordance with the PN-EN ISO 62:2008 standard. The determination of the measure of degradation of the composites, the magnitude of the bending stress, was conducted in accordance with the PN-EN ISO:178 standard. This work is part of a research relating to the quality and recycling of single polymer composite materials. The testing part of the research is aimed to define the properties of examined materials before they are used commercially in specific products.

Weights And Measures

The valuable experiments made by the late Sir George Shuckburgh Evelyn, for the determination of a standard of weights and measures, are detailed in the Philosophical Transactions for 1798. It may there be seen that a cube, a cylinder, and a sphere of brass were employed, the respective dimensions of which being given, as well as the weight of water displaced by each, the weight of a cubic inch of distilled water might thence be readily ascertained. In reviewing these experiments, so much care appears to have been bestowed on those parts of the enquiry which relate to weight , as to leave no reason to doubt their accuracy; but as Sir George Shuckburgh has not entered into so full a detail of the method he pursued in the measurement of the cube, the cylinder, and the sphere, I felt it to be desirable that this operation should be repeated, before the Commissioners of Weights and Measures should make their final Report.

Four different simple, accurate and precise UV-spectrophotometric methods have been developed for the estimation of palbociclib (PB) in bulk and in-house capsule dosage form by zero order (Method I), zero order AUC (Method II), ‘first order derivative UV-spectrophotometric (Method III), and first order AUC (Method IV) methods. The drug was dissolved in methanol (AR-Grade) and further dilution was made in double distilled water. Zero order was performed at λ max 220.00 nm of PB (Method I) and AUC was calculated between 215.40 nm - 228.20 nm wavelength (Method II). In Method-III zero-order spectra were derivatized into first-order and amplitude measured at 231.00 nm and the AUC was recorded between 224.00 nm - 240.60 nm (Method IV). PB followed linearity in the concentration range of 4.08-20.40 µg/mL with correlation coefficient (r2 )> 0.99 for PB.

For many years the concept of quantitative diffraction contrast experiments might have consisted of the determination of dislocation Burgers vectors using a g.b = 0 criterion from several different 2-beam images. Since the advent of the personal computer revolution, the available computing power for performing image-processing and image-simulation calculations is enormous and ubiquitous. Several programs now exist to perform simulations of diffraction contrast images using various approximations. The most common approximations are the use of only 2-beams or a single systematic row to calculate the image contrast, or calculating the image using a column approximation. The increasing amount of literature showing comparisons of experimental and simulated images shows that it is possible to obtain very close agreement between the two images; although the choice of parameters used, and the assumptions made, in performing the calculation must be properly dealt with. The simulation of the images of defects in materials has, in many cases, therefore become a tractable problem.

The Article briefly discusses the need for generation of the Science of Ahangyol, and this science’s scientific basis, object and subject, category system, scientific research methods and application options. Ahangyol is a universal science and may be useful in any sphere. It may assist in problem solving in peacemaking process and in many areas such as ecology, economics, politics, culture, management and etc. This science stipulates that any activity and any decision made in the life may only and solely be successful when they comply with harmony principles more, which are the principles of existence and activity of the world. A right strategic approach of the Eastern Philosophy and the Middle Age Islamic Philosophy and scientific thought has an important potential. This strategic approach creates opportunities to also consider irrational factors in addition to rational ones comprehensively in scientific researches. The modern scientific thought contributes to implementation of these opportunities. Ahangyol is a science of determination of ways to achieve harmony in any sphere and of creation of special methods to make progress in these ways through assistance of the modern science. Methods of the System Theory, Mathematics, IT, Astronomy, Physics, Biology, Sociology, Statistics and etc. are more extensively applied. Information is given on some of these methods. Moreover, the Science of Ahangyol, which is a new philosophical worldview and a new paradigm contributes to clarification of metaphysic views considerably and discovery of the scientific potential of religious books.

The quality of human life is linked to the exploitation of mining resources. The Exploitability Index (EI) assesses the actual possibilities to enable a mine according to several factors. The environment is one of the most constraining ones, but its analysis is made in a shallow way. This research is focused on its determination, according to a new preliminary methodology that sets the main components of the environmental impact related to the development of an exploitation of industrial minerals and its weighting according to the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). It is applied to the case of the ophitic outcrops in Cantabria (Spain). Twelve components are proposed and weighted with the AHP and an algorithm that allows for assigning a normalized value for the environmental factor to each deposit. Geographic Information Systems (GISs) are applied, allowing us to map a large number of components of the environmental factors. This provides a much more accurate estimation of the environmental factor, with respect to reality, and improves the traditional methodology in a substantial way. It can be established as a methodology for mining spaces planning, but it is suitable for other contexts, and it raises developing the environmental analysis before selecting the outcrop to be exploited.

Underwater plate vibration and its associated noise are of interest for the analysis of ship structures, propeller blades, and other areas of underwater acoustics. In order to analyze the relationship between a plate vibrating underwater and the acoustic pressure in the near-field, optical interferometric holography, using a blue-green laser beam, was used to determine surface displacement for the vibrating plate, which was excited through a fluid-coupled system. Acoustic measurements of the same source were made in a water tower concurrently with the holography and later at a precision acoustic testing facility. This method permits prediction of underwater plate modal frequencies and shapes with high accuracy.

This paper summarizes the progress made in the quest to establish a Cybersickness Dose Value (CSDV). The Motion Sickness Dose Value (MSDV), reported in the British Standard BS6841, has been used to predict the severity of seasickness since 1987. In 1999, the authors of this paper proposed a CSDV formulation with a structure similar to that of the MSDV (So, 1999). Since then, several experiments and simulation studies have been conducted to modify and develop the proposed CSDV formula. In particular, progress has been made in (i) the methods to measure CSDV, (ii) the determination of a frequency weighting curve to equalize the non-linear relationship between the navigation velocity and levels of cybersickness, and (iii) the detailed formulation of CSDV. This paper summarizes the past progress and reports on the current effort in developing a CSDV.

Offshore operations in open seas may be seriously affected by the weather. This can lead to a downtime during these operations. The question whether an offshore structure or dredger is able to operate in wind, waves and current is defined as “workability”. In recent decades improvements have been made in the hydrodynamic modelling of offshore structures and dredgers. However, the coupling of these hydrodynamic models with methods to analyse the actual workability for a given offshore operation is less developed. The present paper focuses on techniques to determine the workability (or downtime) in an accurate manner. Two different methods of determining the downtime are described in the paper. The first method is widely used in the industry: prediction of downtime on basis of wave scatter diagrams. The second method is less common but results in a much more reliable downtime estimate: determination of the ‘job duration’ on basis of scenario simulations. The analysis using wave scatter diagrams is simple: the downtime is expressed as a percentage of the time (occurrences) that a certain operation can not be carried out. This method can also be used for a combination of operations however using this approach does not take into account critical events. This can lead to a significant underprediction of the downtime. For the determination of the downtime on basis of scenario simulations long term seastate time records are used. By checking for each subsequent time step which operational mode is applicable and if this mode can be carried out the workability is determined. Past events and weather forecast are taken into account. The two different methods are compared and discussed for a simplified offloading operation from a Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring (CALM) buoy. The differences between the methods will be presented and recommendations for further applications are given.
