Highly viscous mineral oils react with a viscosity increase of times 20000 under identical circumstances.įor synthetic oil this pressure change can even result in a viscosity increase by a factor of up to 8 million. This applies to most low-molecular liquids. In case the pressure goes up from 0.1 MPa to 200 MPa, the viscosity can rise to 3 to 7 times the original value. For comparison: This same change in viscosity is usually provoked by a minor temperature change of 1 K (1 ☌). Most liquids react to a significantly altered pressure (from 0.1 MPa to 30 MPa) with a viscosity change of about 10 %. However, fluids are not dramatically affected if the applied pressure is low or medium: liquids are almost non-compressible in this pressure range. Normally, an increase in pressure causes a fluid’s viscosity to increase, too. Three factors determine a substance’s flow behavior. Still, shear rate is not the only influencer. To learn more consult “ The Rheology Handbook”. The flow behavior of non-Newtonian liquids can be far more complex than these basic examples. yogurt), while for others the viscosity increases with increasing shear rate (curve 3 | e.g. If its viscosity changes with the shear rate, a liquid is non-Newtonian and – for exact definition – one has to specify the apparent viscosity.ĭifferent shear-dependent fluids behave differently: For some, their viscosity decreases when the shear rate increases (curve 2 | e.g. Typical Newtonian liquids are water or salad oil. For a Newtonian liquid, this function is a straight line (curve 1) see figure 6. Such fluids are named ‘Newtonian liquids’ after Sir Isaac Newton.Ī viscosity function shows the viscosity over the shear rate. the shear rate – acting upon the fluid, it is ideally viscous. If a fluid’s internal flow resistance is independent of the external force – i.e. High-viscosity fluids resist deformation. ![]() Fluids which flow easily show a low resistance to deformation. viscous fluids that contain an elastic portion. The specific field of viscometry covers ideally viscous fluids, and – considering certain restrictions – also viscoelastic liquids, i.e. sweet jelly) or as a viscoelastic liquid (like e.g. According to a material’s properties, we either classify it as a viscoelastic solid (like e.g. That is, substances which are neither completely elastic, nor entirely viscous. In everyday life, we mostly come across viscoelastic materials. Scientists specify solid materials as being elastic and liquids as being viscous. Imagine all materials as classified on a virtual scale from solid to liquid. Rheology deals with the flow behavior and deformation of materials. In order to determine a fluid’s viscosity, you have to enter the field of viscometry, a subject area of a wider science called rheology. ![]() ![]() This relationship holds true regardless of how the calculation is being done, whether or not the calculation is being done in atomic mass units or grams per mole.Ī substance’s molar mass can be determined by taking the mass of the substance and dividing it by the quantity. In the case of pure element, the atomic mass of the element will be equivalent to the mass possessed by one molecule of that element. ![]() There is a definite mass that exists for every mole of a substance, and in addition, every ion or atom of the substance has its own mass. You couldn’t directly measure the number of moles in a sample without knowing the molar mass of the substance. It is important to know the molar mass of a substance because molar mass can be used to translate between the mass of the material and the number of moles in a sample of a given substance. For example, 18.015 atomic mass units happens to be water’s molecular weight, and the weight of one mole of water is approximately 18.015 g. To briefly sum up, the mass that belongs to one mole of a substance will be equal to the molecular weight of that substance. This relationship can be represented like this:ġ mole of H2O = 2 × 6.022×1023 of Hydrogen + 6.022×1023 of Oxygen. One oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms combine together to create one molecule of water, and therefore one mole water is made out of a mole of oxygen and two moles of hydrogen. Let’s look at an example of how moles can simplify the representation and calculation of chemicals. Avogadro’s number must be utilized to interpret how the chemicals interact with one another, and how the molecules within the chemical samples are combined. When computations that involve two or more different chemicals are carried out, using both moles and Avogadro’s number is required. The weights of substances are compared with the number of atoms within that substance (as defined by a number of moles), which is done because weight is fairly easy to keep track of as compared to the number of atoms in the chemical sample. By standing in for 6.022×10^23 atoms, moles enable computations involving chemicals. That said, scientists still need a unit of measurement that is capable of representing billions of elementary entities. Chemical interactions involve billions of atoms interacting with one another and being rearranged, however, it’s impractical to try to represent the movement of billions of atoms or visualize said atoms. This number of atoms is 6.022×10^23 and it is referred to as Avogadro’s number.Īvogadro’s number and the mole are important concepts within chemistry. ![]() One mole has an equivalent number of elementary entities to the number of atoms found within 12 g of carbon 12. Elementary entities are atoms or molecules. Moles are used by scientists to keep track of how many elementary entities are within a sample of chemicals. A mole is a unit of measurement, used to measure the quantity of a given chemical substance. However, this definition doesn’t help much if you don’t know what a mole is. What Is Molar Mass?Ī chemical substance’s molar mass is the amount of mass that a single mole of that substance has, the mass that one mole of a given substance possesses. ![]() To understand why knowing oxygen’s molar mass is important, we first have to understand what molar mass is and how it relates to doing calculations in chemistry. ![]() Oxygen has an atomic number of eight, and the molar mass of oxygen is approximately 15.9994. Oxygen is one of the most abundant elements on planet Earth and in the universe. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you are not familiar with One Pocket, you can read about the game here. Eventually, he managed to get a One Pocket game with a local player for about $20 a game. If you are an aspiring pool hustler, and I hope you are not, please please please never ask anyone to play One Pocket! It means you know a whole lot more about pool than you are letting on. 99.9% of all beginning pool players have never even heard of One Pocket, much less have any interest in playing it. Hint #1: ONLY a pool hustler would first claim to know nothing about pool, then turn around and ask you to gamble in One Pocket.Īny chance he had of luring a big fish was just completely destroyed. Then he said something that was shockingly stupid: “Anybody want to play some One Pocket for a little money?” LOL! Are you kidding me?!! Did he really just say that?

When I arrived, the guy whom I shall refer to as “Mr. In pool room parlance, when someone intentionally plays below his or her actual skill level, we call this “stalling.” I was tired of hitting balls, so I decided to go up front and watch the show. I was doing my daily practice routine on one of the Gold Crowns in the back, when a friend approached me and told me there was a guy up front who was “stalling” and looking for action. At first I thought it was funny (for reasons explained herein), but as I watched I found it deeply saddening as it provides a glimpse into what is wrong with pool today.Ī few months ago I watched a hustler in action at California Billiards in Mountain View, California.

Because I’m such a data analysis geek, I’ll be happy to share the results with you…I might even provide a graph or two! I’m sure you can’t wait. I’ll use that knowledge to plan future practice sessions to focus exclusively on those items and try to reduce or eliminate them entirely. With my background in statistics and process improvement, I’m quite certain my post practice analysis will identify trends and factors that are contributing to my goofs. ![]() My plan for the day is to take notes every time I miss a shot to document why I missed the shot. It’s time to take some of my own advice: (1) practice thoughtfully (with purpose) and (2) take notes. I’ll be practicing at California Billiards most of the day with one primary goal in my mind: I need to figure out why I miss shots. I’ve designated today as an official “pool day” for me. In my response to him, I had merely taken some facts that I knew to be true and in one broad stroke painted the best possible answer I could come up with. If I’m on a mission to transform myself and my game, shouldn’t I know the answer? Shouldn’t I be confident in my response? You would think so however, I wasn’t really sure why I missed shots. Imagine that! He had been following my pool progress over the last couple of years, and he asked me the following question: “Why do you miss?” I immediately gave him the following canned answers: “Because I don’t concentrate, because I don’t think three shots ahead, because I make bad decisions when choosing between an aggressive shot versus a safety, because I get in a hurry and I sacrifice my fundamentals, because I hit the balls too hard, because… because… because…”Īfter satisfying him with my supposedly well thought out answers, our conversation went on to other topics however, my analytical mind was stuck in an infinite loop: was my response really accurate? Sure, all of my responses were valid responses, but I didn’t feel like I was being honest with him and telling him the truth. A couple weeks ago I was enjoying a glass of wine with a friend I had not seen in a few months, and our conversation eventually turned to pool. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first step in narrowing down your paper type is to simply identify what you intend to publish.

ORDERED that the above-entitled matter be, and it is hereby dismissed, on the merits and with prejudice, on the grounds and for the reason that did not give notice to the Attorney General and the Commissioner of Administration, as required by SDCL 3-21-2 and 3-21-3 On December 29, the trial court entered the following order in conformity with its memorandum decision: ![]() On December 19, 1994, the trial court issued its memorandum decision dismissing Wolffs' action for failure to comply with the notice provisions. The Secretary subsequently filed affidavits by the Commissioner of the Bureau of Administration and the Attorney General averring they were never given written notice of the time, place and cause of Wolffs' injury as required by SDCL 3-21-2 and 3-21-3. On September 29, 1994, the Secretary filed an additional set of motions including a motion to dismiss, "by reason of the failure of to give the requisite jurisdictional notice required by ɓ-21-2 and -3." This was the first time in these proceedings that the Secretary raised the notice issue. ![]() Although Wolffs provided no notice of injury to the Commissioner of Administration or the Attorney General, In answer to that letter, the Secretary's counsel advised the trial court that Circuit Judge Young had already ruled on the motion to dismiss for failure to prosecute, but, that he would renew his motion in that regard. In May 1987, the Department closed a roadway into Angostura that Wolffs had been using for ingress to and egress from their property. The State of South Dakota leases Angostura from the federal government and the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks (the Department) manages the recreation area. The United States Government acquired Angostura in 1949 when the area was condemned pursuant to the Flood Control Act of 1944.

These lay people were outperforming the professionals, the monks. They rejected all the ties of this secular world, lived in complete chastity with their wives, abstained from all meats, fasted frequently and read the Bible (both testaments) daily and their elders kept up an unceasing vigil of prayer, one taking over from another, night and day. These laymen had a compelling need for virginity and purity: ![]() The group was certainly zealous and extremely ascetic. I shall not therefore assume, as many have done, that Girardus, the spokesman, was being devious and obfuscatory in his answers, because my impression is rather that he was naïve and not highly educated. Reading the account in Landolfo’s history gives me the impression that there was more of a desire to find heresy, on the part of the investigator, than there was a desire to conceal it, on the part of the accused. The Archbishop assumed that such people must be dangerous, although he found it difficult to get any blatantly incorrect answers from Girardus – and Girardus was eager to answer all his questions. “had come into Italy from some unknown part of the world.” Nevertheless he seems to have had access to an interrogation of the group’s spokesman, Girardus, which (or parts of which) he included in his account, – perhaps with considerable embellishments. The chronicler, Landolfo Seniore, may be a poor witness for two reasons: he was writing a long time after the event, and his aim was clearly to glorify Ariberto. The whole affair at Monforte may have had as much to do with the capture of a strategically useful strong-point as with concerns over doctrine. Archbishop Ariberto was particularly ambitious, later even training and commanding his own army, and he was very keen to assert his authority in all parts of his huge province (of 18 dioceses). The senior clergy were all drawn from the noble families of the city and were very successful at increasing the power and the wealth of the Church and of themselves at the same time. The incident must have occurred between 10, as Ariberto was Archbishop from 1018-1045 and the Bishop of Asti who led the expeditions against the castle was in office from 1018-1034.Īt this time Milano, respected as an early centre of Christianity, was a city of wealth and independence, commanding both north-south and east-west trade routes through Lombardy. In this version, Ariberto took the heretics as prisoners to Milano, where many of them were burned, not by the Archbishop, but by the leading citizens. Raoul Glaber seems to have known nothing about their religious practices, because he said they worshipped idols like pagans, and performed disgusting sacrifices with Jews! He ended with stories of demons and devils.Īccording to an Italian chronicler called Landolfo Seniore, who was working in Milano, the Archbishop of Milano, Ariberto, heard about the heresy on a visit to the Bishop of Torino, and had a long interview with one of the Monforte heretics named Girardus. They tried to convert the heretics, but had to burn the most recalcitrant at the stake, because the heretics would rather be martyred than give up their way of worshipping God. According to the chronicler, Raoul Glaber, it occurred at Monforte in the diocese of Asti, and was discovered by the ruler of Torino and his brother, the bishop of Asti. This piece looks briefly at a second case of possibly illuminist heresy in the 11th century. ![]() ![]() ![]() That includes all the skill points, and armor and anything they might have had equipped players will quickly learn that space is cruel, cold mistress.

Not surprisingly this is against Amazon’s policy and would impact whoever sent the package, not you for receiving it. The more good reviews a seller gets, the greater the chance their products will show up in Amazon searches. The hope is that the people who receive them will not only keep what is sent but then provide positive reviews online. The packages are sent as a way for overseas sellers to try and improve their standing on the site. Instead, it takes advantage of customers. The other possibility for a rogue package involves a scam, albeit not one that necessarily hurts people. In that case, at some point, you may want to just reach out to the USPS and let them know that person no longer lives at the address.
