Wilker disclosed his adhesives to the Purdue Innovates Office of Technology Commercialization, which has applied for a patent to protect the intellectual property. Their team's innovations may pave the way to a more sustainable system for holding the world together. Further research will refine the system and work to maximize societal and environmental impacts in areas ranging from medical innovations to industrial materials to packaging. In many cases, their new adhesives held up well, sometimes performing similarly to, or even better than, traditional toxic adhesives such as a superglue and an epoxy. To test the adhesive's performance, the scientists bonded together objects - wood, plastics or metals - and then used an instrument for breaking the bonds and measuring forces. Basically, you can mix and heat the components." Other bio-based compounds can also be used with epoxidized soy oil, generating an entire family of new sustainable adhesives. A bonus is that the adhesive is easy to make. "All of the components are bio-based, safe and already available at train car scales. Epoxies are generally considered to be the highest performance class of adhesives. "If you combine these components under the right conditions, adhesives can be made that are as strong as epoxies," Wilker said. Those three ingredients added up to an adhesive that is inexpensive, effective, scalable, practical to produce and completely sustainable. Tannic acid is a component of tannins, common in trees, red wine and black tea. Then they added tannic acid, to provide an aspect of the chemistry that mussels use for attaching themselves to rocks and each other. Wilker and his team added the epoxidized soy oil to malic acid, a compound most known for giving apples their tart flavor. Since each experiment uses just a little epoxidized soy oil, the level in their drum has dropped only a few inches after several years of testing. For their work, the smallest container that they could purchase was a 55-gallon drum of the substance. Epoxidized soy oil is already produced globally on a massive scale. Further design constraints that we grapple with, in order to have impact, are costs needing to be low and having all starting compounds available at large scales."Īfter a series of experiments on a range of different biologically sourced and sustainable ingredients, the team settled on epoxidized soy oil for a main component. Then we would like to bond them strongly when needed and also be able to take the substrates apart when wanted. Strengths should be as high as current products. Ideally, new adhesives will be bio-based and nontoxic. "Given all of the problems generated by current glues, we feel an obligation to create something better. "By studying how nature makes adhesives, we are learning how to design new technologies for our future society," Wilker said. Any new adhesive must work at least as well as traditional products, which is why Wilker keeps that drawer around: to test them, side by side, against innovative substances. However, people and companies are accustomed to using traditional adhesives they're strong, easy to produce and relatively inexpensive. These substances are harmful both to the environment and to human health. ![]() Newly built houses are off-gassing formaldehyde, exposing residents to this carcinogen. One example is the common building material plywood, which is formed of wood pieces held together with formaldehyde-based adhesives. "Those volatile petrochemicals in these glues can be toxic, which is a further problem with current technologies," Wilker said. He has a drawer of those commercial glues in his lab, which give off a strong and familiar smell. Wilker and his lab have spent years studying the science of sticky substances, analyzing marine animals that adhere, like mussels and oysters, and trying to create better, sustainable, affordable adhesives that work as well as any glue from the hardware store. Discarded products will sit in landfills for centuries and, sometimes, contribute to ocean microplastics." Consequently, we cannot recycle many of the materials that we put into our recycling bins. The bonded materials in our products stay stuck together. "Almost all glues are petroleum-based and do not degrade. "Our current adhesives create all sorts of environmental problems," Wilker said. The team's findings were released in a paper in Nature. A team of chemists at Purdue University led by Jonathan Wilker, professor of chemistry in the College of Science and of materials engineering, aims to change that with a new, completely sustainable adhesive system. The trouble with all those adhesives is that they are not sustainable.

![]() Yet, it's got to be said that the Nuggets are no joke. So, what to expect? It would be reasonable to believe that the Lakers aren't going to take their Game 1 loss lying down, especially knowing that to go 2-0 down would not be ideal to say the least. Indeed, the fact that he narrowly missed out on a second straight MVP award and has led his team to the Conference Finals - the actual MVP has since gone home - only further confirms the idea. On the other, we've got a guy who is steadily affirming his status as one of the greats of today's game. On the one side, we've got a legend of the game and arguably the greatest player ever to play it - trigger warning for Michael Jordan fans. Tonight's game between the Lakers and the Nuggets promises to be an intense battle. We're now less than minutes away from tip off in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals and we can safely say, we're excited. Ultimately, this series is far from over but it would be naive to think that the Lakers can do anything less than turn in sensational performances from this point on, if they're to get back in it.Ī goodnight to all of you and don't forget to join us again for Game 3! That's before we mention the manner in which he freaked out in the 4th with an incredible shooting display from beyond the arc. The Canadian point guard was everywhere - he played the entire second half - and then some. Yet, mention has got to be made of Jamal Murray one again. In defense of the Serbian's not-so-prolific night, he too was key on defense, with a solid shift against Anthony Davis. Indeed, James was stellar on defense, forcing several turnovers out of Jokic in fact. ![]() Where the stars are concerned, it's got to be said that both LeBron James and Nikola Jokic had quiet nights offensively, but that's not to say they weren't key for their respective teams in other ways. With 22 second half points, Murray is the main reason why the Nuggets now have a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals. That is until Jamal Murray simply went off. In what was a tight game right through, LA actually maintained a lead for the majority of it. ![]() It goes without saying that the Lakers are now in trouble, but it would be unfair to say that they don't have the quality, talent and grit to get out of it as was clearly evidenced tonight. The Lakers & Nuggets put on a show in Game 2 but the star of it all was Jamal Murray ![]() In map 198, "POSTGAME green", the internal folder for Solstice Glen maps, a "NYAA" can be seen.The quote "What are birds?

The Ruins harbors a few robots and a computer where Entity can be spoken to. It's also possible that the phosphor trees' root systems play an important role in preventing land erosion, like in several coastal and wetland biomes. There are a few stumps, presumably from phosphor trees cut down before the previous Sun had gone out. The Forest consists of phosphor trees, in front of which stands a sign declaring them protected under law. It has many small houses, some of which can be entered.

![]() Using the nationally representative sample, you’d find this to be a 1010. The latter number applies the actual scores of students in the past three graduating classes to the latest SAT®.Ī decent SAT® score would probably be something around the 50th percentile. The former number compares how students did on the SAT® to an overall sample of all students grades 11-12, regardless of whether or not they took the SAT®. The 70th percentile SAT® test taker is 1170. When you review the 2019 SAT® score trends, you see the nationally representative sample average SAT® score is 1120. Generally, in our opinion, anything that falls into the top 30% of graduating high school students should be considered a good SAT® score. That being said, if you’re applying to Michigan State University with that same score, that would be competitive for your college application. For example, if you’re applying to Harvard and have a 1200 SAT® score, it’s unlikely you’ll get in since Harvard’s average score is typically over 1500. What is a good SAT® score? Decent score? Bad score?Ī good SAT® score really depends on the student and their aspirations. ![]() SAT® scale scores are how your raw scores translate when converted to section scores - these are between 200-800 for the two sections (Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math), to give you a total SAT® score between 400-1600. The SAT® does not have a guessing penalty and only cares about the total number of correct answers. What’s the difference between SAT® raw scores and SAT® scale scores? How are they calculated?Īs noted in the prior question, SAT® raw scores are equivalent to the number of correct answers you got in a section. This means your total SAT® score can range from 400-1600. This is then converted using a scoring chart to output your Math Section Score (between 200-800). For this section, you add the raw score (the number of correct answers) from both the no calculator and calculator sections to get your math section raw score. This number is multiplied by 10 to get your Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Section Score (between 200-800).įinally, there is your math score. From your raw score, a Writing and Language Test Score is calculated between 10-40.Īdding your Reading Test Score and Writing and Language Test Score becomes your Reading and Writing Test Score (which ranges from 20-80). ![]() This is equal to the number of questions you get right out of the 44 questions in this section. Next, there is your writing and language test raw score. From your raw score, a Reading Test Score is calculated between 10-40. This raw score is equivalent to the number of SAT® Reading questions you get correct on the test (there are 52 in total). When calculating your SAT® score, there are a few key components:įirst, there is your reading test raw score. The test went back to being scored out of a total possible 1600 points. When the SAT® revamped in March of 2016, scores became easier to calculate.

The Number of Protons Define the Nature of the Elements CO₂, carbon dioxide.\): The structure of helium atom with a central nucleus and surrounding electrons. So we've got our one carbon atom, we've got one oxygen there and another oxygen there. And if we draw it, it would look a little bit like this. We've got one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. Katie: So, carbon dioxide means a carbon plus two oxygens. Katie: And 'di' means two, so dioxide means two oxygens?ĭr. Katie: Yes, so that's carbon and dioxide. Now, another one you'll have heard of is carbon dioxide. We use the numbers to show how many of each atom there are in a compound. For example, water, there are two hydrogens and just one oxygen. When a compound forms there isn't always an equal number of elements. So we've got our oxygen atom and then we've got our two hydrogen atoms. And if we were to draw the molecule, it would look a little bit like this. And the two is because for every one oxygen atom there are two hydrogen atoms in water. Now, we always put these numbers down at the bottom when we're writing chemical formula and this number, it shows how many of each type of atom we have in the compound. We've got water with the chemical formula H₂O. Oxygen, which you've already found, and hydrogen. Katie: So which chemicals is water made up of?ĭr. So, since water is a compound, it means its chemical formula is made up from elements that we can pick from the periodic table. And atoms, they chemically bond together in a fixed ratio to make a compound, and this means we can describe these compounds with a chemical formula. Tim: A compound is a pure substance which is made from more than one element. And, remember, we only show pure elements on the periodic table.ĭr. Tim: Water isn't an element, it's a compound. And tungsten is actually what the filament of some light bulbs is made from, the little spiral filament that lights up when you switch it on.ĭr. W is actually the element tungsten, and the W symbol comes from the mineral in which tungsten is found called wolframite. Tim: It would be easier, but you know the history of who discovered these elements and when and where is really long and complicated and interesting and the symbols for some of the elements are left over from their old names.įor example, the symbol for iron, Fe, comes from the Latin name for iron, ferrum. That would be much easier to remember, wouldn't it?ĭr. Katie: OK, so why is it Fe and not Ir like a shortened version of Iron. Some elements have two letters in their symbol, because there are more than 100 elements, but there are only 26 letters in the alphabet, so we have to double some of them up. Fe is actually iron and you can tell this is an element because it's got an uppercase F followed by a lowercase e. Now, remember, on the periodic table we only put elements, not compounds. ![]() Katie: I recognise Fe but if it's got two letters like that, does that mean that it's two elements combined?ĭr. Are there any symbols that you recognise? Any elements that you might know?ĭr. And the formula of sulfuric acid is H₂SO4.Īnd this tells us that one molecule of sulfuric acid contains two hydrogen atoms, one sulfur atom and four oxygen atoms.ĭr. Butane, which has the chemical formula C₄H₁₀, has four carbon atoms and ten hydrogen atoms. The chemical formula for Magnesium Oxide, MgO, tells us that there is one atom of magnesium for every one atom of oxygen. They often, but not always, have little numbers called subscripts that show how many atoms of each element are present in one molecule of a compound. VOICEOVER: Chemical symbols and formulas.Įvery element in the periodic table is represented by a unique chemical symbol, like O for Oxygen or Mg for Magnesium.Ĭhemical formulas represent compounds or elements where more than one atom are bonded together. Well, before we move on, here's some more information to help us understand the basics of chemical symbols and formulae. Katie: Amazing! Thank you very much, Dr Tim. The table is used to arrange the elements and we put chemically similar elements together in groups. ![]() There are something like 100, and each has a unique symbol made up of a letter and sometimes two letters. And an element is a pure substance made from only one type of atom. Tim: So this is the periodic table and each letter on it represents a different element. What do they all mean? And what is the table actually used for?ĭr. It's a little bit like a giant game of Scrabble. Now, we've got part of the periodic table here. And here to explain H to the Cs to the Ns and the Os, it's our super scientist extraordinaire, Dr Tim Gregory.

On top of that, the final moments of "Sailor Moon Eternal" show Usagi and Mamoru transforming into Neo Queen Serenity and King Endymion, no longer prince and princess, which leads Luna to exclaim in surprise that they are her king and queen and this is basically their coronation. Thankfully, "Sailor Moon Eternal" gives the Guardians a huge power up worthy of the movie event. The Eternal form of the Sailor Guardians is their strongest state, giving them enough power to destroy entire realms, and it's rarely ever shown in the anime.
