* Element Six ( formerly De Beers Industrial Diamond )-a company specialised in providing superhard material solutions such as synthetic diamond, cubic boron nitride for industrial applications

As diamond is a superhard material, diamond saw blades can be used to cut hard and brittle, or abrasive materials, for example, stone, concrete, asphalt, bricks, ceramics, glass, semiconductor and gem stone.

Superdense and superhard material resembling this phase has been synthesized and published in 2008.

An example of extrinsic superhard material is nanocrystalline diamond known as aggregated diamond nanorods.

A superhard material has high shear modulus, high bulk modulus and does not deform plastically.

Traditionally, high-pressure and high-temperature ( HPHT ) conditions have been used to synthesize superhard materials, but recent superhard material syntheses aim at using less energy and lower cost materials.

Therefore, recent research of superhard materials has been focusing on compounds which would be thermally and chemically more stable than pure diamond.

Ideally superhard materials should have a defect-free, isotropic lattice.

Bulk moduli, shear moduli, and elasticity are the key factors in the superhard classification process.

That is why the form itself becomes a preoccupation, because it exists as a problem separate from the material it accommodates.

Being less encumbered by material embodiments they partake more of what is divine.

Undoubtedly one merit of the vast panorama of Gentile conceptions of the Jew unfolded in the present anthology is that it provides a formidable body of material that invites critical examination in terms of reality.

Because God is what He is, the laws of the universe, material and spiritual, are what they are.

It is only then that the ancient habits of feeling and the classic orderings of material and psychological experience were abandoned.

We feel that The Detroit News is to be complimented upon arranging for articles on these subjects and we hope that it will continue to provide material along wholesome lines.

The Medical Illustration Service is responsible for the collection, publication, exhibition, and file of medical illustration material of medico-military importance to the Armed Forces.

If there is time after the warning, the basement shielding could be improved substantially by blocking windows with bricks, dirt, books, magazines, or other heavy material.

He is appreciative of the expert help available to him and draws these resources into play, taking care to examine at least some of the raw material which underlies their frequently policy-oriented conclusions.

There is a rapidly growing demand for this material, primarily from the military.

No one material is best for all situations.

Sheeting cast from this material reportedly weighs only one-third as much as glass, is impervious to all kinds of weather, and will not yellow.

This viscosity of the material in the drops is, of course, not negligible.

Hence it is difficult to conceive of a packing of the atoms in this material in which the oxygen atoms are far from geometrical equivalence.

The small reaction occurring at 337-degrees-C is probably caused by decomposition of occluded nitrates, and perhaps by a small amount of some hydrous material other than Af.

Dirt, which is here defined as particulate material which is usually inorganic and is very often extremely finely divided so as to exhibit colloidal properties.

Since there is a continual loss of micrometeoritic material in space because of the radiation effects, there must be a continual replenishment: otherwise, micrometeorites would have disappeared from interplanetary space.

According to Whipple ( 1955 ), cometary debris is sufficient to replenish the material spiraling into the sun, maintaining a fairly steady state.

One may conclude that most of the detected micrometeoritic material is concentrated in orbital streams which intersect the Earth's orbit.

The Russian experimenters claim that only a small fraction of the impulse from the sensors is caused by the incident momentum with the remainder being momentum of ejected material from the sensor.

A measure of the total mass accretion of meteoritic material by the Earth is obtained from analyses of deep-sea sediments and dust collected in remote regions ( Pettersson, 1960 ).

Progress is impeded by psychological inhibitions to effective action among those in power and by a failure on their part to understand how local resources, human and material, can be mobilized to achieve the national goals of modernization already symbolically accepted.

Everything was burnished with sweat and grease so that all of the objects seemed to have been carved from the same material and to be ageless.

Yet he presents a realm of source material which may well serve other writers if not himself: the problems with which a New South must grapple in groping through a blind adolescence into the maturity of urbanization.

When combined with the metaphysical notion that pure forms of this universe are best appreciated when least embodied in a material substratum, it becomes clear that while earth will be dross on a scale of material-formal ratios, celestial bodies will be of a subtle, quickened, ethereal existence, in whose embodiment pure form will be the dominant component and matter will be absent or remain subsidiary.

Her miraculous progress in material achievements flows from other qualities far more worthy and substantial: adherence to principles and methods consonant with our religious philosophy ; ;

Mr. McKinley examined everything with critical care, seeking something material to blame for his son's illness.

He improvised as he went along, completing a life-size clay figure, then bought yards of an inexpensive material from a draper, wet the lightweight cloth in a basin and covered it over with clay that Argiento brought from the bank of the Tiber, to the consistency of thick mud.

Start with the right-hand piece `` B '', Af, soldering it to the lower piece `` A '' of the same material but 12'' '' long.

Too light a feed, particularly with metal or other hard material, causes overheating of the tool and burning of the cutting edge.

Since the absorption of radio waves in rocklike material varies with wave length, it should be possible to sample the temperature variation at different depths beneath the surface and possibly detect changes in the structure or composition of the lunar surface material.

The x-ray diffraction pattern of the material, taken with CuK**ya radiation, indicated the presence of no extra lines and was in good agreement with the pattern of Douglass.

For the illusion of depth created by the contrast between the affixed material and everything else gives way immediately to an illusion of forms in bas-relief, which gives way in turn, and with equal immediacy, to an illusion that seems to contain both -- or neither.

Nickel-iron meteorites with sufficient kinetic energy to produce large terrestrial explosion craters may nevertheless melt only small quantities of material.

This crater contains impact glass with no metallic inclusions and no meteoritic material has been recovered.

In vinyl foam, the big news was the development of techniques for coating fabrics with the material ( for details, see P. 395 ).

We must realize with Prof. Charles Morris in his The Open Self that `` Man is the being that can continually remake himself, the artisan that is himself the material for his own creation ''.

Plaster of Paris, once utilized in making impressions of teeth, has been replaced by alginates ( gelatin-like material ) that work quickly and accurately and with least discomfort to a child.

He gives this to the medium at the appointed time, and the reading then will be concerned with material about or messages from the communicator.

Both are primarily concerned with the uses that can be made of the material that the collector has found.

The commercial propagandist, who can't afford to be critical, gets along well with the amateur, from whom he feeds, but he frequently steps on the analyst's toes by refusing to keep his material genuine.

When the writer uses material does he tamper with it to improve its commercial effect or does he leave it pure??

If so, it might be worth while to assign a future jazz show to a different department -- one with enough confidence in the musical material to cut down on the number of performers and give them a little room to display their talents.
