Materials that lack electron conduction are insulators if they lack other mobile charges as well.

Standards that describe calibration and operation for radiation dosimetry, as well as procedures to relate the measured dose to the effects achieved and to report and document such results, are maintained by the American Society for Testing and Materials ( ASTM international ) and are also available as ISO / ASTM standards.

The top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band might not occur at that same value of k. Materials with this situation, such as silicon and germanium, are known as indirect bandgap materials.

Materials in which the band extrema are aligned in k, for example gallium arsenide, are called direct bandgap semiconductors.

Materials other than sand are also often used, such as oatmeal, which are necessarily non-toxic and light enough to easily vacuum away.

Materials are deposited on top and materials are blown or washed from the surface.

* Materials science / Advanced materials-Scientists at ORNL are involved in studies ranging from fundamental research to the latest applications of virtually all classes of materials.

Materials required for advancing technology ( e. g., photoresists and other polymers and industrial chemicals ) are derived from natural resources such as petroleum and so are affected by the cost and supply of these resources.

The Golden Compass, based on the first novel in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series, is considered a flop in North America due to its $ 180 million budget coupled with New Line Cinema's decision to sell all of the international distribution rights, but the unique circumstances of its international success have made the film's overall success a point of contention ; it was the first film ever to make more than $ 300 million internationally but less than $ 100 million in the United States.

Materials not normally considered absorbent can release enough light-weight molecules to interfere with industrial or scientific vacuum processes.

* The secondary / parallel world ( s ) is entered through a portal from the primary world ( e. g. Alice in Wonderland, The Chronicles of Narnia, His Dark Materials, Xanth, The Dark Tower, and Avantasia )

The Technical High School of Campinas ( in Portuguese, Colégio Técnico de Campinas-COTUCA ), maintained by the State University of Campinas, in Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, provides free of charge courses at secondary studies level on Nursing, Computer Sciences, Mechanical, Electrical, Foods Technology, Environment, Plastics, Labor Security, Medical Equipments, Telecommunications, Quality and Productivity Management, Mechanical Projects Assisted by Computer and Metallic Materials.

Ishikawa diagram, in fishbone shape, showing factors of Equipment, Process, People, Materials, Environment and Management, all affecting the overall problem.

Materials used as mulches vary and depend on a number of factors.

Materials that can be characterized by classical theory of elasticity is known as linear elastic materials, even for such materials the linear relationship between stress and strain may be valid only for a certain range of strains.

Materials are made of atoms that are normally electrically neutral because they contain equal numbers of positive charges ( protons in their nuclei ) and negative charges ( electrons in " shells " surrounding the nucleus ).

) Materials which cannot be alloyed or mixed on Earth because of gravity-field effects on density differences could be combined in space, resulting in composites which could have exceptional qualities.

Although there are various types of economic activity in the city ( Logistics, Metallurgy, Chemical and Electrical Materials, and Petrochemical ), Maua is still remembered as the " Capital of China and Pottery ", because this activity has been very important for the development of the municipality.

Materials used for case construction should be chosen carefully because component materials can easily become a significant source of pollutants or harmful fumes for displayed objects.

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration ( PHMSA ) of the U. S. Department of Transportation has established regulations regarding the carrying of certain types of batteries on airplanes because of their instability in certain situations.

Materials are typically aluminum alloy and stainless steel, but they can also be made in acetal, maraging steel and titanium.

Materials and components that obey Ohm's law are described as " ohmic " which means they produce the same value for resistance ( R = V / I ) regardless of the value of V or I which is applied and whether the applied voltage or current is DC ( direct current ) of either positive or negative polarity or AC ( alternating current ).

Adam and Fertility help Tender escape from the police as they come to arrest him, and as the brothers travel north in hiding, they return to the Creedish Church Compound, which is now the Sensitive Materials Sanitary Landfill.

Within the Engineering program, students may concentrate in Computing ( E: C ), Bioengineering ( E: BE ), Materials Science ( E: MS ), Systems Design ( E: SYS ), or they may design their own concentrations with the administration's approval.

Materials used in most modern tampons are so highly absorbent that they pose the risk of absorbing the vagina's natural discharge and upsetting its natural moisture balance, which is what enables toxic shock syndrome to occur.
