Rotary Forging, General Forging Machine (GFM) and Swaging
...techniques can be rotary forged or swaged because of the prevention of tensile forces that would normally cause tensile cracking on upset surfaces. Design: The GFM rotary forging technique gives greater precision than conventional hot forging techniques, which in turn reduces machining allowances and costs. Rotary swaging can produce exceptionally smooth surfaces to close...

How are drones keeping track of songbirds?
...technique. Mourning doves (Zenaida macroura), for instance, have an extremely low-frequency call that was masked by the sound of the drone, and gray catbirds (Dumetella carolinensis) occurred at such high densities that distinguishing the calls of individual birds in the recordings was difficult. This experiment has revealed the promise of UAV technology, but also...

Can protective headgear increase the risk of injury to rugby players?
...technique is more likely to result in a tackle leading to a head injury. Given this, and the fact that most injuries in rugby occur during the tackle (up to 64%), rather than an outright ban on tackling, strategies aimed at making the tackle safer appear to make the most sense. Coaching the tackle In this way, player and coach education strategies to reduce injury rates...

Introduction to algebra
...techniques such as evaluating and checking equivalence of expressions, identifying terms in an expression and collecting like terms. Section 3 looks at how to simplify terms and introduces index notation and multiplying powers. Section 4 looks at the use of brackets in algebra and section 5 covers solving, checking and using simple linear equations...This free course is...

Physical vapour deposition (PVD)
...techniques can be used for the direct deposition of material or for “reactive” use, in which a reaction occurs in the vapour/plasma phase, between atoms of the coating material and reactive gases. Workpiece (substrate) temperature depends on the materials and properties required, but is typically in the range 200–400°C; considerably lower than CVD. If required, the...

What is Systems Thinking in Practice Hub about?
...techniques being demonstrated, such as systems diagramming. Some are older case studies of complex, and some offer interviews with key systems thinkers. Overall, these resources fall into five main groups: 1. Resources that deal with key ideas and concepts used in systems thinking in practice 2. Resources that show the application of systems thinking to complex...

5 tried-and-tested study tips for dyslexic students
...technique] Focusing on text for a long period of time can be challenging, but it is often even harder when you are dyslexic. Try to break down your study time into manageable chunks. One technique for this is the pomodoro technique. This involves working in 25-minute bursts with 5-minute breaks. You don’t have to use these timings: adapt it for what works for you. There...
