The specific formula of the steel alloy used in Chef'sChoice® cutlery is proprietary. However, it contains much higher levels of carbon and stainless alloys than the popular European or domestic brands. It is important to understand that the alloy itself is only part of the reason for the outstanding performance of Chef'sChoice® knives. See similar questions...

In general, the majority of our phantoms are made of Lucite ® (Polymethyl Methacrylate). This material is also known as Perspex ® and Plexiglass. Information concerning the atomic number, density and composition of Lucite ® can be found here on the web site of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). MMA has a density of 0.94 g/cm3. The systematic name is methyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate. Its molecular formula is H2C=C(CH3)COOCH3. See similar questions...

On the Alloy website, you'll find a tutorial, reference manual, papers, and case studies. The alloy-discuss listserv is a good place to ask basic and advanced questions of other users. The Alloy group at MIT welcomes questions and feedback; write to us at (alloy at mit dot edu). See similar questions...

The two alloys are very similar and are often interchanged. Thus, exactly the same parts, such as car door handles, may be made with #5 alloys in Germany and #3 alloys in UK. Alloy #3 has slightly better ductility than #5, which is useful for components that have to be riveted or swaged. Alloy #5 has slightly better tensile and creep properties, so may perform better when stresses are high. See similar questions...

DiffusiMAX does not have a Drug Identification Number. In many provinces, government insurance plans may cover the cost of DiffusiMAX if the drug compounded into it is part of the provincial formulary. Other provinces may have a schedule of covered compounding bases. For information on reimbursement with private insurers, please contact the insurer to determine eligibility for coverage.

QKB15S Keyboard Controllers are powered by +12 VDC usually from a wall transformer. The Q101, Q103, and Q137 Power modules provide DC power via a 6 pin female connector. The voltages available are +15VDC, -15VDC, and +5VDC - all well regulated. The keyboard controller has it's own internal regulator and only needs about 9VDC - 18VDC at less than 50ma. So you can provide power to the keyboard by a short cable from one of the modules. When you turn your system off, the keyboard will also go off. See similar questions...

DIN 43650 is the standard for a series of electrical connectors, which are commonly used with solenoid valves (especially those used on valves in hydraulics and pneumatics). Other applications include the connection special sensors, such as pressure switches, filter switches, optical, proximity and limit switches. See similar questions...

The MX series crossovers are stereo units. One control affects both channels left and right. The AC series units are dual mono. This means channel one can be set differently from channel two. Additionally, the AC series units provide driver alignment delay controls and optional CD horn compensation. See similar questions...

Is there any suggestion or requirement regarding medium (i.e. chamber music, voice and piano, orchestral, choral)? I have several recent works that might prove successful and would like to determine which one(s) to submit. Please choose the one work that you feel would strongly represent you at this time. You will always be free to present another work the following year. See similar questions...

There are many software packages that can do this type of analysis. The GCG software package contains the Composition tool, which will determine the composition of sequences along with dinucleotide and trinucleotide content for nucleotide sequences. Click here for an example of the results from the Composition program run on the yeast genome. The S288C strain that was sequenced for the systematic sequencing project has a nonsense mutation in TRP1; the sequence in SGD reflects this. See similar questions...

The deepest cores taken in the area indicate that the soil is composed of silty sands, clays, and gravels which extend down at least 20 m (70 ft). Any rocks would be found at least 7000 ft down since all the material found here is a result of relatively recent sedimentation (on the order of tens of thousands of years ago). An oil well from 1945 drilled to 10,000 feet in Cape Hatteras and found no sign of bed rock. See similar questions...

The official FIRST season begins in January, with the kick-off and the beginning of the six weeks in which teams can build their robot. During these six weeks, the robot must be completely built, after which teams are required to ship it to their first regional. In March, every week for five weeks, anywhere from five to seven regionals occur in various parts of the United States, Canada, and Israel. Teams are allowed to enter two out of the twenty-seven possible regionals. See similar questions...

The committee's specific composition was arrived at in a re-organization of university governance in the 1980s and is compliant with the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The composition is provided for in Subsection 1A of the UCC Manual. Twelve faculty members, each of the three college deans, and three student representatives together comprise the 18 regular members of UCC. See similar questions...

Yes! Most auto manufacturers caution against automatic washes that use acids or tire brushes on polished aluminum wheels. At ECO, our acid free, foaming wheel applicator is a highly concentrated cleaner and de-greaser that will not stain or scratch your wheels or tires. This highly foaming applicator sticks to your wheels and tires to ensure 100% clean. See similar questions...

The most common cause of excessive dross formation is that the metal temperature is too high which increases the rate of oxidation. It also increases the rate which aluminum in the alloy combines with the iron of the pot, gooseneck etc. to produce iron-aluminide intermetallic. The result is excessive dross and excessive wear of the furnace and gooseneck. In extreme cases, this can cause the alloy to go out of specification. See similar questions...
