In the example shown at left, carbonyl groups were readily detected by IR spectroscopy from a cast thin film. The product was a road cone that had cracked in service, and many similar cones also failed because an anti-UV additive had not been used. Polymers are susceptible to attack by atmospheric oxygen, especially at elevated temperatures encountered during processing to shape. Many process methods such as extrusion and injection moulding involve pumping molten polymer into tools, and the high temperatures needed for melting may result in oxidation unless precautions are taken.


title: "Applied spectroscopy" content: For example, a forearm crutch suddenly snapped and the user was severely injured in the resulting fall. The crutch had fractured across a polypropylene insert within the aluminium tube of the device, and infra-red spectroscopy of the material showed that it had oxidised, possibly as a result of poor moulding. Oxidation is usually relatively easy to detect, owing to the strong absorption by the carbonyl group in the spectrum of polyolefins. Polypropylene has a relatively simple spectrum, with few peaks at the carbonyl position (like polyethylene). Oxidation tends to start at tertiary carbon atoms because free radicals here are more

They posed a major threat to the Abenaki and Mohicans, while the Susquehannock briefly conquered the Lenape in the 1600s. The most devastating event of the century, however, was the Beaver Wars. From approximately 1640–1680, Iroquoian peoples waged campaigns which extended from modern-day Michigan to Virginia against Algonquin and Siouan tribes, as well as each other. The aim was to control more land for animal trapping, a career most natives had turned to in hopes of trading with whites first. Not only did this completely change

Modern day shin guards are made of many differing synthetic materials, including, but not limited to: The shin guard was inspired by the concept of a greave. A greave is


title: "Shin guard" content: a piece of armor used to protect the shin. It is a Middle English term, derived from an Old French word, greve (pronounced gri’v), meaning shin or shin armor. The etymology of this word not only describes the use and purpose of shin guards, but also contributes to dating the technology. This technology dates back to ancient times as early as Greek and Roman Republics. Back then, shin guards were viewed as purely protective measures for warriors in battle and were made of bronze or other hard, sturdy materials. The earliest known physical proof of the technology appeared when archaeologist


title: "Shin guard" content: Sir William Temple discovered a pair of bronze greaves with a Gorgon’s head design in the relief on each knee capsule. After careful, proper examination it was estimated that the greaves were made in Apulia, a region in Southern Italy, around 550/500 B.C. This area fell under the Roman Empire boundaries and is known as today as the Salento Peninsula; it is more commonly known as the heel of Italy. This discovery is not considered the oldest known application of shin guards, but all other references lie in written or pictorial medians. The oldest known reference to shin guards was


title: "Shin guard" content: a written verse in the Bible. 1 Samuel 17:6 describes Goliath, a Philistine champion from Gath, who wore a bronze helmet, coat of mail, and bronze leggings. The Book of Samuel is commonly accepted to be written by Prophets Samuel, Nathan, and Gad between 960 and 700 B.C. Later, more concrete, examples of the shin guard concept resurfaced in the Middle Ages. All studies and evidence show greaves were improved to cover the entire lower leg, front and back, from the feet to the knees, and were mostly made of cloth, leather, or iron. As time progressed into the 19th


title: "Shin guard" content: century a major shift in the application of shin guards occurred. The overall purpose of protecting the shin was maintained, but instead of being used for fighting, it became applied to sports. This paradigm shift dominates today’s market use of shin guards as they are used mostly in sports. Other applications do exist though for protecting the lower leg in other physical activities such as hiking, mixed martial arts, and kickboxing, but all these activities can also be considered for sport instead of being necessary in battle. Cricket was the first sport to adopt the use of shin guards. The


title: "Shin guard" content: introduction of this equipment was not motivated by the need for protection, but rather a strategic device to gain an advantage for the batsman. The batsman who wore the leg pads was able to cover the stumps with his protected legs and prevent the ball from hitting the stumps, instead the ball bowled into the batsman. Thus, the protection provided by the leg pads provided the batsman confidence to play without suffering pain or injury. This resulted in an offensive advantage; instead of hitting the wickets to get the batsman out, the bowler hits the batsman giving him another chance


title: "Shin guard" content: to hit the ball. This was addressed in 1809 with a rule change called leg before wicket, where the umpire was allowed to deduce whether the ball would have hit the stumps if the batter was not hit first. Leg pads became more popular as protective measures against the impact from the ball and are worn by the batsman, the wicket-keeper, and the fielders that are fielding in close to the batsman. Association football was the next major sport to see the introduction of the shin guard. Sam Weller Widdowson is credited for bringing shin guards to the sport in


title: "Shin guard" content: 1874. He played cricket for Nottinghamshire and football for Nottingham Forest, and he got the idea to protect himself based on his cricket experiences. Widdowson cut down a pair of cricket shin pads and strapped them to the outside of his stockings using straps of leather. Other players ridiculed him initially, but shin guards eventually caught on as players saw the practical use of protecting their shins. Today, there are a two basic types of shin guards used in association football: slip-in shin guards and ankle shin guards. Different player positions in association football require their shin guards to provide


title: "Shin guard" content: different types of protection and fit. Defenders need the most protection. They need a heavier shin guard with extra ankle protection. Midfielders need protection, but also need to be able to move freely. Forwards need a light shin guard with protection and ankle support. Goalkeepers can wear a light shin guard with minimal protection. In baseball, one of the innovators of the modern shin guard, New York Giants catcher Roger Bresnahan, began wearing shin guards in 1907. Made of leather, the guards were fastened with straps and hooks. After the application of shin guards in association football, they quickly spread

Distinguishing these cases and finding the intersection point have use, for example, in computer graphics, motion planning, and collision detection. In three-dimensional Euclidean geometry, if two lines are not in the same plane they are called skew lines and have no point of intersection. If they are in the same plane there are three possibilities: if they coincide (are not distinct lines) they have an infinitude of points in common (namely all of the points on either


title: "Line–line intersection" content: of them); if they are distinct but have the same slope they are said to be parallel and have no points in common; otherwise they have a single point of intersection. The distinguishing features of non-Euclidean geometry are the number and locations of possible intersections between two lines and the number of possible lines with no intersections (parallel lines) with a given line. A necessary condition for two lines to intersect is that they are in the same plane—that is, are not skew lines. Satisfaction of this condition is equivalent to the tetrahedron with vertices at two of the points


title: "Line–line intersection" content: on one line and two of the points on the other line being degenerate in the sense of having zero volume. For the algebraic form of this condition, see . First we consider the intersection of two lines formula_1 and formula_2 in 2-dimensional space, with line formula_1 being defined by two distinct points formula_4 and formula_5, and line formula_2 being defined by two distinct points formula_7 and formula_8. The intersection formula_9 of line formula_1 and formula_2 can be defined using determinants. The determinants can be written out as: Note that the intersection point is for the infinitely long lines defined


title: "Line–line intersection" content: by the points, rather than the line segments between the points, and can produce an intersection point beyond the lengths of the line segments. In order to find the position of the intersection in respect to the line segments, we can define lines formula_1 and formula_2 in terms of first degree Bézier parameters: (where "t" and "u" are real numbers). Then the intersection point is found with one of the following values of "t" or "u": with: Subsequently, one can check if the intersection points falls within the first line segment by testing if 0.0 ≤ "t" ≤ 1.0, and


title: "Line–line intersection" content: check if it falls within the second line segment by testing if 0.0 ≤ "u" ≤ 1.0. When the two lines are parallel or coincident the denominator is zero: If the lines are almost parallel, then a computer solution might encounter numeric problems implementing the solution described above: the recognition of this condition might require an approximate test in a practical application. An alternate approach might be to rotate the line segments so that one of them is horizontal, whence the solution of the rotated parametric form of the second line is easily obtained. Careful discussion of the special cases


title: "Line–line intersection" content: is required (parallel lines/coincident lines, overlapping/non-overlapping intervals). The formula_20 and formula_21 coordinates of the point of intersection of two non-vertical lines can easily be found using the following substitutions and rearrangements. Suppose that two lines have the equations formula_22 and formula_23 where formula_24 and formula_25 are the slopes (gradients) of the lines and where formula_26 and formula_27 are the "y"-intercepts of the lines. At the point where the two lines intersect (if they do), both formula_21 coordinates will be the same, hence the following equality: We can rearrange this expression in order to extract the value of formula_20, and so,


title: "Line–line intersection" content: To find the "y" coordinate, all we need to do is substitute the value of "x" into either one of the two line equations, for example, into the first: Hence, the point of intersection is Note if "a" = "b" then the two lines are parallel. If "c" ≠ "d" as well, the lines are different and there is no intersection, otherwise the two lines are identical. By using homogeneous coordinates, the intersection point of two implicitly defined lines can be determined quite easily. In 2D, every point can be defined as a projection of a 3D point, given as


title: "Line–line intersection" content: the ordered triple formula_35. The mapping from 3D to 2D coordinates is formula_36. We can convert 2D points to homogeneous coordinates by defining them as formula_37. Assume that we want to find intersection of two infinite lines in 2-dimensional space, defined as formula_38 and formula_39. We can represent these two lines in line coordinates as formula_40 and formula_41, The intersection formula_42 of two lines is then simply given by, formula_43 If formula_44 the lines do not intersect. In two dimensions, more than two lines almost certainly do not intersect at a single point. To determine if they do and, if


title: "Line–line intersection" content: so, to find the intersection point, write the "i"-th equation ("i" = 1, ...,"n") as formula_45 and stack these equations into matrix form as where the "i"-th row of the "n" × 2 matrix "A" is formula_47, "w" is the 2 × 1 vector ("x, y"), and the "i"-th element of the column vector "b" is "b". If "A" has independent columns, its rank is 2. Then if and only if the rank of the augmented matrix ["A" | "b" ] is also 2, there exists a solution of the matrix equation and thus an intersection point of the "n"


title: "Line–line intersection" content: lines. The intersection point, if it exists, is given by where formula_49 is the Moore-Penrose generalized inverse of formula_50 (which has the form shown because "A" has full column rank). Alternatively, the solution can be found by jointly solving any two independent equations. But if the rank of "A" is only 1, then if the rank of the augmented matrix is 2 there is no solution but if its rank is 1 then all of the lines coincide with each other. The above approach can be readily extended to three dimensions. In three or more dimensions, even two lines almost

title: Rotini content: Rotini Rotini is a type of helix- or corkscrew-shaped pasta. The name comes from a 17th-century Italian word meaning "small wheels". Rotini is related to fusilli, but has a tighter helix, i.e. with a smaller pitch. It should not be confused with rotelle ("wagon wheel" pasta). Rotini originated from Southern Italy and the tight twists help them retain a wide variety of sauces better. They are often used in pasta salads with pesto, Carbonara or tomato-based sauces. Rotini is most often made from refined (white) wheat flour, although varieties made from whole wheat flour, brown rice, or other grains are

If a rib is fractured in such a way that it might puncture a vital organ, it may be safer to remove it than wait for it to heal. A cancerous rib may be removed to stop the cancer spreading.

Clinton Hart Merriam first described the Cozumel raccoon as morphologically distinctive from its mainland relative, the common raccoon subspecies "Procyon lotor hernandezii", in 1901. Since then, other scientists have generally agreed with Merriam's assessment, especially Kristofer Helgen and Don E. Wilson, who have dismissed this classification for the other four island

"Cuphophyllus" species belong to a group known as waxcaps in English, sometimes also waxy caps in North America or waxgills in New Zealand. The genus was described by French mycologist Marcel Bon in 1985. It is synonymized with "Hygrocybe" by some authorities, although recent molecular evidence confirms its validity as a distinct genus. "Cuphophyllus" species have sometimes been referred to the genus Camarophyllus (Fr.)

title: "Work–family conflict" content: Work–family conflict Work-family conflict occurs when an individual experiences incompatible demands between work and family roles, causing participation in both roles to become more difficult. This imbalance creates conflict at the work-life interface. It is important for organizations and individuals to understand the implications linked to work-family conflict. In certain cases, work-family conflict has been associated with increased occupational burnout, job stress, decreased health, and issues pertaining to organizational commitment and job performance. Work-family conflict was first studied in the late 19 century. During this time period, work and income moved from inside the home (agricultural work) to outside the


title: "Work–family conflict" content: home (factories). Industrialization challenged the current relationship between working and family. Boundary theory and border theory are the foundations used to study work-family conflict. Boundary theory divides social life into two interdependent sections, work and family. Individuals have different roles and responsibilities in each section. Since the sections are interdependent, two roles cannot take place at the same time. Individuals have to participate in role transformation between expectations of the workplace and expected roles within the family structure. Border theory expands this by considering the influences each section has on the other. Border theory attempts to pin down ways to


title: "Work–family conflict" content: manage conflict and achieve balance between conflicting identities. Individuals may choose to treat these segments separately, moving back and forth between work and family roles (displaying boundary theory) or can decide to integrate the segments with hopes of finding balance. Conflict between work and family is bi-directional. There is a distinction between what is termed work-to-family conflict and what is termed family-to-work conflict. Work-to-family conflict occurs when experiences and commitments at work interfere with family life, such as extensive, irregular, or inflexible work hours, work overload and other forms of job stress, interpersonal conflict at work, extensive travel, career transitions,


title: "Work–family conflict" content: or an unsupportive supervisor or organization. For example, an unexpected meeting late in the day may prevent a parent from picking up his or her child from school. Family-to-work conflict occurs when experiences and commitments in the family interfere with work life, such as the presence of young children, primary responsibility for children, elder care responsibilities, interpersonal conflict within the family unit, or unsupportive family members.For example, a parent may need to take time off from work in order to take care of a sick child, or to witness a tournament or performance of a child. Family-to-work conflict is perceived


title: "Work–family conflict" content: to result in lower work productivity of employees. Within work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict, three subtypes of conflict have been identified: time-based, strain-based, and behavior-based. "Time-based" conflict entails competing time requirements across work and family roles, "strain-based" conflict entails pressures in one role impairing performance in the second role, and "behavior-based" conflict entails an incompatibility of behaviors necessary for the two roles. Although work interface with family (WIF) and family interface with work (FIW) are strongly correlated, more attention has been directed toward WIF. Research, largely attributed to the idea Ariel Russel Hochschild termed the "ideal worker", depicts the inelastic


title: "Work–family conflict" content: nature of work roles and responsibilities. The expectations employers hold of an "ideal worker" already rest on unrealistic assumptions about how the family should operate. Many employers expect that employees with families have someone tending to everything at home, leaving the worker unencumbered. Despite the fact that a majority of families in the U.S are dual earning, the image of the "ideal worker" persists, presenting work-family conflict. Workaholism correlates with experiences of work-to-family conflict, since one's priority of work may interfere with family commitments. In its simplest form, workaholism is said to be a substantial investment in one’s work. One


title: "Work–family conflict" content: who is said to be involved in the act of workaholism can be labeled as a workaholic. Workaholism is said to be multifaceted and multi-directional.The flexibility and satisfaction within one’s job has an impact on an employee’s happiness and satisfaction in the home and vice versa. An overabundance of work has been said to take priority over everyone and everything else in the lives of those infatuated with work. Excessive work prevents one from forming and maintaining intimate relationships and close friendships. Workaholics are known to spend a vast amount of time in work related activities, which then results in


title: "Work–family conflict" content: the sacrifice of crucial family, social, and recreational activities. Marital problems, trouble with maintaining close relationships, and isolation from friends and family are the common issues related to workaholism and those involved. In most recent years, employers have become more aware of the strain and stress that work can place on an employee. Companies have since started seeing their employees not only as workers, but also as people with personal and home lives.Implementation of family-responsive human resource practices and policies that promote work-family balance have become a reality as a way to reduce stress in both environments. With the struggles


title: "Work–family conflict" content: of work-family conflict, options are necessary to provide a solution for these problems. Loehr and Schwartz compare the extreme demands experienced by an individual in the workplace to that of a professional athlete. In both scenarios energy expenditure (stress) is experienced. Without recovery (oscillation) both cannot perform to their greatest ability, eventually leading to chronic stress, burnout, and fatigue. Persist stress without oscillation and the result will be permanent damage. Creating an environment that values oscillation, for instance encouraging 15-minute walk breaks throughout the workday or offering corporate gym memberships, can improve employee cognition, energy, focus, and emotional intelligence. Companies,


title: "Work–family conflict" content: along with their bottom line and employees, win when mental and physical health are treated as equally important to cognitive capabilities. In order to gain competitive advantage, organizations are attempting to be portrayed as work-life balance supportive employers. Companies that value employee work-life balance are able to attract and retain satisfied employees, improve worker performance, and boost employee morale and organization identification. Work-family conflict can be diminished by establishing family-friendly policies in the workplace. Some of these policies include maternity, paternity, parental, sick leaves, and health care insurance. Organizations may provide child care options either as an on-site child care
