and human population, by being released into the atmosphere. The ever-changing atmosphere, especially in Pittsburgh, is filled with different compounds. Many of the compounds found in air are naturally occurring but some of these compounds such as Titanium tetrachloride, Vinyl Chloride, and Benzene are emitted from factories and some household items and cause health and environmental effects. Possible solutions to reduce and possibly eliminate exposure are then be explored. To provide context on the

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, designed by Frank Gehry, is an art museum belonging to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation located in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain set on the edge of the Nervión River. It first opened its doors in October of 1997 and features artwork by predominantly Spanish artists. It is hailed as a spectacular representation of the Deconstructivity movement and an architectural masterpiece. As it became a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world being

With Ely Callaway back at the helm, Callaway Golf proceeded to introduce a new set of titanium metal woods, and its low-center-of-gravity tungsten-injected titanium irons. The metal woods reportedly gave the ball a more penetrating flight, while the irons facilitated long trajectory shots. In February 2000, Callaway Golf introduced its much-anticipated Rule 35 golf balls

20% lighter than steel. For stiff titanium frames it is required to have a larger diameter, than comparable steels, though not as large as aluminum. The frame is also very corrosive resistant. With the addition of silicon the alloy can obtain significant grain refinement and it can be said that titanium alloys have a perfect balance of properties for frame building. Welding must be done carefully to avoid contamination and machining must be done precisely. Titanium is very reactive to atmospheric

competition. Turbine blades have to be able to endure temperatures around and greater then 500OC, in order for them to be useful. A reasonably lightweight alloy commonly used in the production of turbine blades is an often a long SiC-fibre reinforced titanium alloy for the highly mechanically loaded parts. By using "sputtering" techniques followed by hot isostatic pressing cycles, the components then become strengthened in comparison to conventional materials, which are manufactured. These alloys are

The lenses of your prescription glasses are important, you also need to consider the frames holding them in place. Fashion Opticians of Vernon Rockville, CT want to share with you the benefits of both plastic and metal wire rim frames so you can make an informed decision when you grab your next pair of prescription glasses. Read on to learn about the various types of plastic and metal frames as well as their practical and fashionable qualities. Zyl, nylon, and polycarbonate are three common types

Introduction: A common injury among athletes is to tear their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). People who tear their ACL’s need to have surgery in order to help them recover and have no long term effects. The surgery consists of implanting an Endo button to keep their knee in place while the body heals itself. For this project an endo button was designed with specific dimensions taking in consideration the maximum forces that will be acting on the button. Ten materials were analyzed and one material

Every facet of culture in the world has been influenced by ideas from the past. Historical events and ancient stories, such as myths, shape humanity and pave the path to the future. Greek mythology, although it was first perceived eons ago, is still relevant in current aspects of society through its use in language, science, and entertainment. One section of the current world in which Greek Mythology is especially prevalent is in the words of the English language. One figure that demonstrates this

Cars have been around for many years. The first car to move off its own power was in 1769, and 1989 the average weight of a car was about 3,000 pounds. Overtime, cars have been through many changes and improvements. Car makers are constantly in search of improving cars to be better than the last. Can lighter cars be safer? Can the fuel economy benefit if the production of lighter cars were to increase? And lastly, what are alternative composites car makers can invest in? Making cars lighter will
