Materials for which this can be applied are much more limited since the material needs to both have an unpaired spin and be paramagnetic.

Materials which are shiny will be far less successful than those that are not.

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 ).

Materials that can be magnetized, which are also the ones that are strongly attracted to a magnet, are called ferromagnetic ( or ferrimagnetic ).

Materials which make up the brake shoe include, friction modifiers ( which can include can include graphite and cashew nut shells ), powdered metal such as lead, zinc, brass, aluminium and other metals that resist heat fade, binders, curing agents and fillers such as rubber chips to reduce brake noise.

He is the author of over forty technical papers dealing with the influence of microstructure on the properties of materials, and co-authored a textbook on materials science, The Principles of Engineering Materials, along with UCLA professor Alan S. Tetelman ( founder of Exponent, Inc .) and Stanford professor William D. Nix, published by Prentice-Hall in 1973, which remains in use today.

Considerable economic development activity transpired in Post Falls in 2009 including the opening of ALK Source Materials / Biopol which is a Danish pharmaceutical company, a second Super Wal-Mart store that will be located near the new Cabelas store began its construction and is slated to open in early summer 2010, and Lowe ’ s Home Improvement finalized the purchase of land adjacent to the new Wal-Mart at the Pointe at Post Falls.

The post office is located just east of the Vineyard Camp Meeting Association lands, as is Oak Bluffs Public Library, which is a member of the Cape Libraries Automated Materials Sharing library network.

The Wrightsville Fire Department is a participating department with the state's professional certification system in which over 95 % of its members are trained to the Proboard Firefighter 1 & 2 and Hazardous Materials Operations levels.

Materials for which liquid phase sintering is common are Si < sub > 3 </ sub > N < sub > 4 </ sub >, WC, SiC, and more.

Materials with a wide band gap have very few conduction electrons, making them insulators.

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 used to refresh recollection are admissible as evidence.

Other fields where chemical degrees are useful include Astrochemistry ( and Cosmochemistry ), Atmospheric chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Chemo-informatics, Electrochemistry, Environmental science, Forensic science, Geochemistry, Green chemistry, History of chemistry, Materials science, Medical science, Molecular Biology, Molecular genetics, Nanotechnology, Nuclear chemistry, Oenology, Organometallic chemistry, Petrochemistry, Pharmacology, Photochemistry, Phytochemistry, Polymer chemistry, Supramolecular chemistry and Surface chemistry.

Materials, such as solids, liquids and gases, are composed of molecules separated by empty space.

Materials that exhibit body couples and couple stresses in addition to moments produced exclusively by forces are called polar materials.

Materials such as PVC, leather and rubber latex, are amongst the most common to immediately take on the signifying work of fetish attire.

Materials that detonate ( explode faster than the speed of sound ) are said to be " high explosives " and materials that deflagrate are said to be " low explosives ".

In the United States, these acts are governed by Title 40 of the United States Code, " Importation, Manufacture, Distribution and Storage of Explosive Materials " ( 18 U. S. C.

Materials and energy are considered secondary factors in classical economics because they are obtained from land, labor and capital.

Materials aimed at instilling principles of nationalism and Islam in children are an aspect of Hezbollah's media operations.

Some examples of this are: R. A. Salvatore's Drizzt of " The Legend of Drizzt ", Kathryn Lasky's Soren of Guardians of Ga ' Hoole, David Eddings ' Belgarion in the Belgariad and Malloreon, Terry Brooks ' Shea and Wil Ohmsford of The Sword of Shannara and The Elfstones of Shannara, Terry Goodkind's Richard Cypher, Robert Jordan's Rand al ' Thor of The Wheel of Time, Pug and Arutha of Raymond Feist's Riftwar Saga, Philip Pullman's Lyra Belacqua of His Dark Materials, Ursula K. Le Guin's Ged, Aerial of the Darkangel Trilogy by Meredith Ann Pierce, and Christopher Paolini's Eragon of The Inheritance Cycleand Ashalind of the " Bitterbynd Trilogy ".

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.

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.

Materials for this shelter would cost about $700.
