Waste management and environmentalism in China

...energy, water, land and labour as inputs, to maintain production and sustain output. Manufacturing also produces many waste products, a large number of which, if not treated carefully, and emitted to the environment, are pollutants and may be hazardous to the local population. An extreme example of the harm that can be done by the lax control of wastes is shown through...

Water jet cutting (Hydrodynamic cutting)

...energy per unit length of cut. Since there is no force perpendicular to the water jet and very little frictional drag in the cut, accurate fixing and positioning of the workpiece is easy. Single or multiple cutting heads can be used, and positioning can be by hand, CNC or optical tracing. Materials: A wide variety of materials, but most suitable for non-metallic materials...

The science of nutrition and healthy eating

...energy levels completely depleting, too, that’s when I know I need a break. And it happens at different times throughout the day, actually. It might vary from between about like 11:30 to about 1 o’clock SPEAKER 12 I always eat around 1 o’clock so that I can meet my friends. So we all come from different departments and meet up together in one place to eat lunch...

What can Chinese students in Southampton teach us about going green?

...energy is wasted. According to the post-materialist thesis proposed by Inglehart, this is exactly what we might expect when we compare a developed and developing country. Using that data as a baseline, we were then able to examine how coming to the UK affected Chinese students green attitudes and behaviours. What we found was that Chinese students did change their...

Reaction injection moulding (RIM) and Reinforced reaction injection moulding (RRIM)

...energy requirements. RIM equipment costs approximately 30% less than comparable injection moulding equipment, and product energy requirements are low compared with other materials, although RRIM would increase these. Critical process variables are mould and monomer temperatures, injection and clamping pressures, material flow rate and density. Close control of these...
