Aqueous-Based Extrusion Fabrication of Ceramics on Demand [PDF]
Aqueous-Based Extrusion Fabrication is an additive manufacturing technique that extrudes ceramic slurries of high solids loading layer by layer for part fabrication. The material reservoir in a previously developed system has been modified to allow for

Characteristics of Timbers Dried Using Kiln Drying and Radio Frequency-Vacuum Drying Systems
Heavy hardwoods are difficult-to-dry timbers as they are prone to checking and internal stresses when dried using a conventional kiln drying system. These timbers are usually dried naturally to reach 15% to 19% moisture content with an acceptable defects.

The importance of periodic droughts for maintaining diversity in the freshwater environment [PDF]
Whereas some species may rely on periodic drought conditions for part of their life histories, or have life strategies suited to exploiting the habitat or changed environmental conditions that are created by drought, for other organisms it is a time of ...
