Journal Bearings01:23

Journal Bearings

Journal bearings are mechanical components that support and provide lateral stability to rotating shafts and axles. They are crucial in reducing friction, wear, and vibration in machinery such as engines, turbines, and pumps. The principle behind journal bearings is forming a thin lubricant film between the bearing surface and the rotating shaft, which minimizes direct contact and reduces frictional forces.
To better understand the concept of journal bearings, consider a rope winch with dry or...

Club Goods and Public Goods01:21

Club Goods and Public Goods

Goods and services can be categorized based on their relative accessibility and the impact of individual consumption on other potential users. Two important classifications are club goods and public goods. These categories help explain how access to resources is managed and how their use impacts society.
Club Goods
Club goods are products or services that are excludable but non-rivalrous. This means that access to the good can easily be restricted, typically through a form of payment or...

Transcriptomic Analysis of Human Retinal Surgical Specimens Using jouRNAl10:32

Transcriptomic Analysis of Human Retinal Surgical Specimens Using jouRNAl

We used retinal samples from retinectomy for a transcriptomic analysis of retinal detachment. We developed a procedure that allows RNA conservation between the surgical blocks and the laboratory. We standardized a protocol to purify RNA by cesium chloride ultracentrifugation to assure that the purified RNAs are suitable for microarray...

Segregation in Fresh Concrete01:16

Segregation in Fresh Concrete

Segregation in fresh concrete is a phenomenon where the components of the concrete mix separate, leading to uneven distribution and compromised structural integrity. This separation typically occurs when concrete is subjected to excessive horizontal movement within forms, or when it is dropped from considerable heights or forced through narrow, winding paths. As a result, heavier coarse aggregate particles settle at the bottom, while lighter, finer materials such as cement and water rise to the...

Bleeding in Fresh Concrete01:22

Bleeding in Fresh Concrete

Bleeding in fresh concrete occurs when water from the mix rises to the surface. This happens because the mix's solid components fail to retain all the water as they settle, leading to separation where water collects at the top. The severity of bleeding can be measured by assessing the total settlement or by noting the decrease in height per unit height of concrete.
Bleeding can cause several issues in the concrete structure. Sometimes, the rising water gets trapped beneath large aggregate...
