I was recently wandering around the virtual environment called Second Life, and I found a place based on several locations in Wyoming. There was a railroad station, Devil's Tower, and even Old Faithful, which erupted about once every ten minutes, which was still pretty cool, albeit nine times more active than its real life counterpart in Yellowstone National Park. I noticed, as I watched the virtual geyser erupt, that across the way was a...more
In agriculture, particulates used in fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides must be meticulously controlled, otherwise they would not be effective or would be wasted during application. Particles in the fertilizers used in farmed fields must have the precise size for the chemicals to be infused into the soil at the proper rate. Too large a particle and the growing products risk being damaged. You can run the risk of being wasteful with too...more
Calculating the size, shape, and mass of microscopic particles in a suspension is seemingly a daunting task at best. Particles in the micrometer, or micron, size can move very quickly in an aerosol, for example, and determining their size and shape while they are flitting about in the dispersion would require extremely sensitive instruments. Particle sizing equipment must enter into this ambiguous and difficult analytical process.There are several methods for particle sizing. One such method is the so-called sedimentation method. This procedure is mostly straight forward, as an emulsion of known or unknown particles in a known liquid are slowly settled in a tube, and optical sensors detect the sizes, shapes and settling velocities in a matter of minutes. An excellent sedimentation instrument can provide results in as fast as fifteen minutes.Sedimentation of the particles can reveal many properties of the material being analyzed. The mass of each particle can be determined by the velocity in which the particles settle in the known liquid. Knowing the viscosity of the liquid in which the particles are suspended can give the analyzer calculation to the particles mass, as...more

Now that you have wrote, or have had written for you an ebook "so good" that it should sell itself don't be surprised if it doesn't! I'm not insinuating that you won't be able to sell your ebook but I am inferring that your work is not done yet. If you really want to sell your ebook you need to create a page that "sells" it. It's called a sales page and special attention needs to be given to it, to make sure anyone who gets to it, will feel compelled to read it, long enough to find out that your ebook is so great, that they have to buy it. To make sure you eBooks sales page is compelling you need to start by writing a catchy headline which uses words people who are looking for the solution your ebook solves may be using to show you identify with your customers and their problems and at least hints at a solution. Your head line, like all text on your sales page, should be in an easy to read font and one that displays well in all browsers. From your main head line you will want to roll into a sub headline which is an extension of the main headline and serves to build hype enough to grab readers attention and get them exited enough to read the rest of the page and all about all the...more
