Fishes' fins turn whitish and die back. Fin rot often follows damage or injury. It can also be caused by poor water quality. Remedy: First, fix the water and remove any fin-nipping fish. Change some water (25% is good) and add 1 tsp/gallon salt to promote healing. If bad water quality or an aggressive tankmate was the problem, that should be adequate. Healing will begin within a couple of days. If it worsens, decide first whether it's fungal or bacterial.

Contrary to popular usage, dry rot does not mean rot that can happen in dry wood, or wood that has rotted and dried out. Dry rot is a specific kind of fungus, although the term is very commonly misused to describe all wood rot. This is unfortunate, because it disassociates rot from moisture. Wood rot always requires moisture, and the key to wood durability is the control of moisture. Wood that rotted long ago and is now dry was moist at the time of the rot.

Soldiers sometimes spend weeks, even months, in the field without the chance to wash or shower. Even in peacetime this happens, especially overseas. The longest time I have personally seen is 3 weeks. In hot climates the old skin particles around the crotch and armpits and in the crack of your bum mix with the dirt and sweat to form a foul smelling goo that eventually gets infected and attacks the flesh and turns it "proud", that is red, inflamed and very itchy turning to painful.

A fin tube, whether baseboard or convector-style, is a heating element, made from copper or steel, for a pipe system. It has square or spiral aluminum “fins” that radiate (distribute) the heat and are low to the floor. Fin tubes replaced radiators in the 1940s and 50s, and were popular before forced air system became common a decade later.

Put the Wavegrinder fin an inch or two back from where you place your typical swept-back, sickle-shaped fin. Both sickle-shaped fins and the Wavegrinder have a center of effort, the location on which the turning force in general acts, in a location such as that depicted below. To be able to compare apples to apples and turning moment to turning moment, the centers of effort should be lined up, as shown, which means its sits a couple of inches back in the box from where you are used to it (1.

Basically it is the best there is. It is clear, forms a consistent shape exceedingly well, and is basically bombproof. Well, maybe not bombproof, but Lexan is a polycarbonate used in bulletproof glass, and in other applications requiring great strength. Many ocean-going boats rely on Lexan for the windows and portlights, as it is capable of standing up to punishing ocean waves..

Laserdiscs are subject to what's commonly called laser rot: the deterioration of the aluminum layer due to oxidation. The large size of laserdiscs makes them flexible, so that movement along the bond between sides can break the seal. Like laserdiscs, DVDs are made of two platters glued together, but DVDs are more rigid and use newer adhesives. Also, DVDs are molded from polycarbonate, which absorbs about ten times less moisture than the PMMA used for laserdiscs.

sharable link ] Usually, no. Empty corpses will probably time out. There may be other criteria that causes a corpse to eventually rot, but at this point we don't think that will be necessary and they are persistent. sharable link ] If you die on the surface of the water, both ship flotsam (corpses) and character corpses will float on top of the water and not move/drift. Doing a CR (corpse retrieval) on the water will be functionally the same as anywhere else.

Oak is famous for its durability against rot and infestation and so doesn't need special treatments. Some people like to apply oak oil (boiled linseed oil) in their oak beams to slow up the drying process, but this is purely a matter of personal choice. Softwoods supplied by us are pressure treated against both rot and infestation.

Some laserdiscs are prone to deterioration over time due to "laser rot:" chemical contaminants or gasses trapped inside LDs during their manufacture gradually damage the disk's data layer. A disk with laser rot may play fine when new, but later develop playback problems like skipping or picture degradation. Laser rot is not visible when looking at the disk's surface - if your LD seems to be afflicted, make sure it isn't dirty or scratched and try it in other players.

CD rot, also known as CD bronzing, has been an issue with certain discs manufactured from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. [17] A thin layer of lacquer on the label side of the disc protects the reflective data layer. In CD-ROMs and Audio CDs — Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA) — the reflective data layer is normally aluminum. If the lacquer is damaged, applied improperly, or formulated incorrectly then the reflective data layer may become exposed, leading to aluminum corrosion.

If you have a problem with yellowing, curling leaves, take a look at the roots. Is your citrus sitting in a pan of water. That is a No-No. It should be planted in well drained soil. If it is too late to worry about overwatering, then you need to d

What are the chances of getting an accidental purchase of Brain Rot undone? :F — ceejayoz ★ .com 05:54, 4 Dec 2005 (GMT) If the cold-hearted folks over at the Suggestions page were in charge, your character'd be screwed forever.

Perhaps others will be spared my fate. :p — ceejayoz ★ .

It can be difficult to tell if your home has dry-rot without removing the siding first; then we can tell how extensive the damage is and repair it. In extreme cases you may see signs of excessive moisture on the surface of your siding or moisture on the inside of your house.

Dry-rot repairs can be as little as $50 and as much as several thousand dollars. The average repair is $200 to $500. Approximately one out of eight homes has dry-rot.

Our experience shows that the average installation requires the replacement of 20 feet of facia. Our price includes that work. If there is more than 20 feet of facia to be replaced, we'll make the repair for a flat $5 a foot. If roof deck, sofit or more substantial structural repair is necessary, we'll outline the problem for you and let you decide how to proceed. No.

Though his fin has straightened to some degree as Keiko's health and conditioning have improved, it will never fully straighten. However, it is not a totally unusual condition and has been observed in wild whales. It does not hamper his swimming or social behavior.

Most parents ask their student directly. Doing so fosters trust and a sense of mutual responsibility. One convenient approach is to ask your student to give you a parent "PIN" number to access the University's Testudo interactive web service (http://www.testudo.umd.edu/ParentAccess.html). With the PIN you can access your student's grades, class schedules, student accounts, and unofficial transcripts. The parent access system is administered by the Office of the Registrar.

A "Rocksim Fin" is a Laser cut fin, out of the material you select, with exactly the shape and dimensions of the fin in the Rocksim.rkt design file you submit. Your design file is sent through thru several post processing programs, which produce an output file which drives the Laser cutting machine.

When using traditional fins you kick from the hips and make broad strokes, moving the water below or above the fin. The split fin is designed to push the water out behind you using a propeller-like design, giving you more energy per kick. Because of the way the split fin is used, lower leg muscles are used instead of abdomen and upper leg muscles. This gives you longer bottom times (because you conserve air), and allows you to use smaller kicking motions.

ISG's Glass Fin Structures offer an exciting option to your glass fa?ade needs. A series of glass mainplates, which form the plane of the wall, are paired with glass fins, without the need of conventional metal mullions. This virtually eliminates the sightline and creates a total vision area. Specially engineered glass splice plate assemblies or spider fittings can join the mainplates to the fins. The resulting system is one that yields maximum visibility, a sense of openness and a modern flair.

Fin tube covers that were “original” with the heating system are generally flimsy, and after this long, have been repeatedly nicked and dented with vacuums and other moving objects. Often, the sharp “fins” inside are partly exposed, too, which is both unsightly and potentially hazardous. ARSCO manufactures durable, custom fin tube covers to replace the old, original ones. They instantly improve appearance and eliminate a safety issue.

Yes, but different by design. Today's fins mostly look like 1960s and 1970s sailboat keels. The Wavegrinder has been compared to many things, notably to today's America's Cup boat keels and rudders, airplane tails, airplane wings, and even to submarine conning towers. This of course makes sense, because air and water both are fluids and behave quite similarly. But look and you'll not find modern hydrodynamic fins that looks like today's surfboard fins.

It fits "standard" fin boxes. Unfortunately fin boxes vary by a few thousandths of an inch between manufacturers. Boxes from the same manufacturer vary slight too sometimes, and with wear and use, boxes will loosen up over time. Roughly 90 percent of the time this fin fits just right, tightly, moveable, yet no slop. 10 percent of the time you might need a few swipes of the fin base with 180 or higher grade sandpaper on the fin base.

Another factor that increases drag by increasing the tip vortex is rake, or sweepback angle, combined with a high aspect-ratio. The more vertical and the thinner the fin, the smaller the turbulent vortex becomes. Those of you familiar with boat design have seen the evolution in keels and sails from low aspect, heavily raked keel, rudder, and sailplan designs in the early to mid 1900s to the high-aspect more vertical designs over the past 20 years or so.
