The Sceptical Optimist: Why Technology Isn't the Answer to Everything

The quick advancements in applied sciences -- specially computing and the arrival of many 'smart' units, in addition to speedy and perpetual communique through the net -- has ended in a regularly voiced view which Nicholas Agar describes as 'radical optimism'. Radical optimists declare that accelerating technical development will quickly finish poverty, illness, and lack of knowledge, and increase our happiness and overall healthiness.

Design and Analysis of Asme Boiler and Pressure Vessel Components in the Creep Range

Many constructions function at increased temperatures the place creep and rupture are a layout attention, corresponding to refinery and chemical plant apparatus, parts in power-generation devices, and engine elements. At greater temperatures the cloth has a tendency to endure slow raise in dimensions with time, which can ultimately bring about rupture.

Any colour can be defined by using the CIE properties denoting wavelength, brightness and purity. By adding heavy metal oxides, such as lead and cerium oxides, to a glass, a high absorbtance of radioactive rays may be obtained. Such glasses may be used in radiation chambers and it is important therefore, that their colour is unchanged by irradiation. 4 THE INFLUENCE OF GLASS THICKNESS ON LIGHT TRANSMITTANCE The transmittance of light through a glass decreases logarithmically with increased glass thickness.

Its chemical resistance towards the attack of most other acids is very good, but alkaline solutions, on the other hand, attack glass quite severely. By decreasing the alkali content of a glass its chemical durability is improved. 4. 4). In closelypacked window panes water may enter between the panes by capillary action. The water attacks the glass surface slightly and this produces a solution of sodium hydroxide, since the first compound to be sucked out by the water is sodium oxide. Ordinary rain could attack glass in the same way.

It is necessary, however, to take into account the reflected sky-light as well as the direct sky-light. The amount of daylight arriving at a certain point in a building may, in fact, reach this point as direct sky-light, as externally-reflected sky-light or as internally-reflected sky-light. The sky-light factor is equal to the ratio of the daylight falling on a surface in the building to that on a horizontal surface of the same size outside the building. It is often of importance in the design of a building to be able to pre-estimate the daylight factors in different rooms.
