We can see why resin crafts are gaining popularity. Epoxy resin can be used to produce lovely products that you can wear, use as accessories, or use to liven up your home. The ability to cast items into epoxy resin to create extremely customized pieces is one of our favorite aspects of these crafts. Resin can be mixed with a variety of mementos, including lockets of hair, bouquets of dried flowers, and cherished candies. Check out our comprehensive beginners'' guide if you have never used resin before. We''ll go over all you need to know there to start traveling with you. Once you''ve mastered the principles and caught the resin bug, try these Epoxy resin projects to put your newfound knowledge to work.

A lot of left-handed folks think they can''t learn to knit. Others believe they must master a challenging form of knitting called mirror-image, which entails working the stitches from the right-hand needle onto the left-hand needle. Being left-handed and trying to learn to knit might be difficult because there are so many instructions that are written for right-handed knitters. Even while knitting requires the use of both hands-holding a knitting needle and yarn in one hand while operating a second needle with the other-it can still take some time for your non-dominant hand to develop new muscle memory. However, there are many ways you can learn to adapt it to work for you. Learning and using this style of left-handed knitting is totally acceptable.

How often are Chemistry students amazed to find as much math as they do in their first week of General, Organic & Biology Chemistry? This manual is designed for them. This friendly guide leads students through early mathematical steps fractions, percents, scientific notation, into the world of calculators and how to get the most out of them. It progresses, parallel to their classwork, through algebraic problem-solving, into the whole variety of necessary conversions: density, mass, volume; Celsius, Fahrenheit; calories, Joules, BTUs; and molar mass, moles, grams. Applications and down-to-earth examples abound.

An undiscovered society in an inhospitable place? Forrest Wanders''s vacation from his career of many talents is cut short when he is called away to investigate a mystery in the South Atlantic ocean. An island is discovered where no island should be, and on it is a civilization where intelligent living dinosaurs and humans coexist in harmony. The idea of life outside the island is absurd to these inhabitants, and Forrest is secretly banished from the city, with the island''s most ruthless assassin hot on his trail. In his travels he meets up with many friends and enemies in this pristine land that is untouched by modernization. All during this time something becomes dreadfully wrong with the power that has kept this island hidden for all these millennia, and the people lack the skills to repair it. It is decided to seek out Forrest and illicit his help. The team Forrest came with repair the machinery, and a treaty of peace between them seems imminent. Unknown to everyone, a massive uprising takes place, and nearly destroys any hope of peace. The discoverers of Mesazoia band together with the people and fend off this massive attack. Victory is soon theirs, but an unknown terror is unleashed upon the land - a terror from Forrest''s past...

Since you may sometimes make the most exquisite jewelry yourself, resin is an especially amazing material to use when making jewelry. It also allows you the flexibility to create in a range of sizes, hues, and forms. Because you may mix a variety of materials, including glitter, stones, and other embellishments, making resin jewelry is both straightforward and versatile. These resin jewelry pieces will suit you even if you suffer from a multitude of allergies because they are not harmful to the skin. Purchase some jewelry findings, epoxy glue, and any other materials you''ll need to complete the projects you''re excited to create. You can choose from a variety of DIY jewelry that we have posted.

The researcher began this project by examining the literature that related to teacher lesson planning and best teacher practices. Then, a random sample of teacher lesson plans was selected to see how teachers prepare for instruction.

Using this framework, the dissertation found that microcredit''s impact is concentrated in farming inputs and outputs. It discovered that borrowers mitigate the risk of taking on loans by substituting away from the area''s main commercial crop -- tobacco -- into expanded staple crop sales. The impact was found to be small due to the confluence of the market structure -- e.g., the supply glut of low-valued staple crops -- the geography, and ways in which traders manipulate prices, diminish the ability of families to benefit from access to credit. Within this impact, however, there is divergence in outcomes caused by shocks and household factors. Shocks -- weather, health, and other -- disrupt economic inputs and outputs. Finally, household factors --ability to negotiate the price of crops, timing of agricultural sales, having a diversified income, and loan misuse -- impact investment, revenues, and livelihood strategies.

This thesis explores the effects of redox-triggered changes in the molecular architecture of ferrocenyl surfactants on their self-assembly in aqueous solution. Specifically, we investigated the redox-dependent behavior of 11-ferrocenyltrimethylammonium bromide (FTMA) in the design of surfaces at which the interfacial assemblies formed by FTMA allow for charge transfer in one direction while blocking it in the reverse (i.e. current rectification). First, we showed that aqueous solutions of FTMA exhibit current rectification during cyclic voltammograms performed at gold electrodes that are functionalized with a hydrophobic monolayer. Analysis of the scan rate dependence of the measured current during cyclic voltammograms revealed the current rectification we observe results from the inability of oxidized FTMA in bulk solution to access the electrode. We concluded that reduced FTMA forms a layer on the electrode surface that oxidized FTMA is unable to displace or mix with, leading to current rectification. Further support for this conclusion was found by investigating mixing of reduced and oxidized FTMA in bulk solution via measurement of the surface tension of aqueous solutions containing mixtures of reduced and oxidized FTMA. We concluded that the change in molecular architecture of FTMA when it is oxidized leads to demixing of oxidized FTMA from micellar assemblies of either reduced FTMA or dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) in bulk solution and at hydrophobic surfaces. We also used these redox-triggered changes in FTMA assembly to induce triggered phases transformations in lyotropic liquid crystalline dispersions through the incorporation of FTMA into phytantriol assemblies. Next we show that the electrode surface chemistry plays an important role in templating interfacial FTMA self-assembly that leads to current rectification. Last, we demonstrate, through proof of concept experiments that the self-assembly of FTMA can be used to generate power in a dye-sensitized solar cell. We found that cells using FTMA generated 17.5 +/- 0.2 [mu]W of power under illumination, whereas cells using the otherwise comparable non-self-assembling redox mediator (2-methyl-1-ferrocenylmethyl) trimethylammonium iodide (MFMT) produced only 3 +/- 2 [mu]W. Overall, the work presented in this thesis demonstrates that the reversible self-assembly of FTMA can be exploited to influence interfacial charge transfer processes in potentially useful ways.

"The Lord Howe Island Maritime Archaeological Survey was undertaken to contribute to the development of appropriate management and interpretation of Lord Howe Island maritime heritage. It was conducted as a joint project between the NSW Heritage Office and the NSW Marine Park Authority" -- Executive summary.
