Crystalline polymers are usually opaque because of light scattering on the numerous boundaries between the crystalline and amorphous regions. The density of such boundaries is lower and thus the transparency is higher either for low (amorphous polymer) or high (crystalline) degree of crystallinity. For example, atactic polypropylene is usually amorphous and transparent while syndiotactic polypropylene, which has crystallinity ~50%,

title: "Write amplification" content: Write amplification Write amplification (WA) is an undesirable phenomenon associated with flash memory and solid-state drives (SSDs) where the actual amount of information physically written to the storage media is a multiple of the logical amount intended to be written. Because flash memory must be erased before it can be rewritten, with much coarser granularity of the erase operation when compared to the write operation, the process to perform these operations results in moving (or rewriting) user data and metadata more than once. Thus, rewriting some data requires an already used portion of flash to be read, updated and written


title: "Write amplification" content: to a new location, together with initially erasing the new location if it was previously used at some point in time; due to the way flash works, much larger portions of flash must be erased and rewritten than actually required by the amount of new data. This multiplying effect increases the number of writes required over the life of the SSD which shortens the time it can reliably operate. The increased writes also consume bandwidth to the flash memory which mainly reduces random write performance to the SSD. Many factors will affect the write amplification of an SSD; some can

Intel and SiliconSystems (acquired by Western Digital in 2009) used the term write amplification in their papers and publications as early as 2008. Write amplification is typically measured by the ratio of writes committed to the flash memory to the writes coming from the host system. Without compression, write amplification cannot drop below one. Using compression, SandForce has claimed to achieve a typical write amplification of 0.5, with best-case values as low as 0.14 in the SF-2281 controller. Due

title: "Horse hair raku" content: before Bisque firing. The bisque ware is heated in a kiln, then removed while still extremely hot. The decorating is performed when the ware is between 480 and 700°C; lower temperatures do not effectively combust the horsehair and other materials, while higher temperatures cause the carbon makings to burn off leaving no lasting decorative effect. Strands of horsehair laid across hot ware leave a wandering linear smoke design on the surface. Other materials which can be used to create surface effects include sugar sprinkled on the hot surface to leave spotted smoke marks and feathers applied to the hot surface

The analogous transition in is not in the visible spectrum, so is colorless.

There are two categories of chloryl compounds. The first category is colorless, and includes chloryl fluoride ().

Centralized mail delivery equipment can be in the form of any "clustered" type mailbox – including free-standing, pedestal-mounted cluster box unit (CBU), or other cluster mailboxes mounted in a wall, kiosk, or shelter.

The United States Postal Service aims to continue to review and modify its operations to provide universal service as efficiently and cost effectively as possible. Therefore, there is pressure to establish centralized mail delivery, which is required in some communities. Mail delivery can be traced back to its system founder and first Postmaster, Benjamin Franklin. Since that time, the amount of new mail delivery points have steadily increased from year to year to its present estimate of 1.4 million new delivery points a year. Part of the change in mail delivery can be traced to the changes

As the delivery territories have grown, so, too, has the need for more efficient delivery techniques. During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, letter carriers knocked on the door and waited patiently for someone to answer. Efficiency experts estimated that each carrier lost an hour and a half each day just waiting for patrons to come to the door. To gain back those precious hours, in 1923 the Post Office Department mandated that every household have a mailbox

Today, STD-4B+ mailboxes are only USPS approved for replacing existing STD-4B+ applications. New USPS regulations related to wall-mounted, clustered type of mailboxes were introduced in 2004.
