Wrinkle recovery angle and tensile strength are the two most important characteristics for evaluating the performance of crosslinked cotton fabric. An increase in the degree of crosslinking, as determined by ester carboxyl band absorbence, improves the wrinkle resistance of the fabric (at the expense of reducing mechanical strength). The accompanying data on x = absorbance and y = wrinke resistance angle was read from a graph in the paper “Predicting the Performance of Durable Press Finished Cotton Fabric with Infrared Spectroscopy” (Textile Res. J., 1999: 145–151).

- Need help with (c) and (d) Mist (airborne droplets or aerosols) is generated when metal-removing fluids are used in machining operations to cool and lubricate the tool and workpiece. Mist generation is a concern to OSHA, which has recently lowered substantially the workplace standard.

Researchers studied the morphological attributes of monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus), a species that undertakes large seasonal migrations over North America. They measured the forewing weight (in milligrams, mg) of a sample of 92 monarch butterflies, all of which had been reared in captivity in identical conditions.° Figure 17.4 shows the output from the statistical software JMP. (The data are also available in the Large.Butterfly the data file if you wish to practice working with your own software.) Estimate with 95% confidence the mean forewing weight of monarch butterflies reared in captivity.

A haploid cell would have a “low” amount of color, a cell in G1 would have a “medium” amount of color, and a cell in M phase would have a “high” amount of color. Is this sort of assessment quantitative, qualitative or semi-quantitative? Justify your reasoning.arrow_forward
- The article "Experimental Measurement of Radiative Heat Transfer in Gas-Solid Suspension Flow System" (G. Han, K. Tuzla, and J. Chen, AIChe Journal, 2002:1910- 1916) discusses the calibration of a radiometer. Several measurements were made on the electromotive force readings of the radiometer (in volts) and the radiation flux (in kilowatts per square meter). The results (read from a graph) are presented in the following table.

C.arrow_forwardA specimen of connective tissue (collagen) can be obtained from a beef steak. The temperature at which the collagen shrinks can be determined. A tender piece of meat tends to have a low collagen shrinkage temperature. So, the lower shrinkage temperature, the more tender the meat.It is believed that electrical stimulation of a beef carcass could improve the tenderness of the meat. In one study of this effect, beef carcasses were split in half; one side (half) was subjected to a brief electrical current and the other side was an untreated control. For each side, a steak was cut and tested in various ways for tenderness. In one test, the experimenter obtained a specimen of the connective collagen tissue from the steak and determined the temperature at which the tissue would shrink. The experimenter wishes to prove that electrical stimulation tends to improve the tenderness of the meat. The raw data are found in the table below. Let ? = 0.01.
