Composite materials "benefit" a structure. Composite theory, properties of materials, various and varied processing techniques have been discovered through research to bring strength with low weight to composite bonded structures.
Basically, a composite material is one which is composed of at least two elements which, when put together, produce material properties that are different to the properties of those elements on their own. In practice, most composites consist of the matrix, and a reinforcement of some kind, added primarily to increase the strength and stiffness of the matrix. Reinforcement is usually in fibre form. There are 3 basic types of man-made composites:
Polymer Matrix Composites PMCs … Also known as Fibre Reinforced Polymers FRP (or Plastics), these materials use a polymer-based resin as the matrix, and a variety of fibres such as glass, carbon and aramid as the reinforcement.
Metal Matrix Composites MMCs … mostly used in the automotive industry, these materials have a metal such as aluminium as the matrix, and reinforce it with fibres such as silicon carbide.
Ceramic Matrix Composites CMCs … Used in very high temperature environments, these materials use a ceramic as the matrix and reinforce it with short fibres such as those made from silicon carbide and boron nitride.
Composite Resin Systems
Any resin system for use in a composite material will need good mechanical properties, adhesive properties, toughness and resistance to environmental degradation. The resin must be able to deform to at least the same extent as the fibre. High adhesion between resin and reinforcement fibres is necessary for any resin system. This will ensure that the loads are transferred efficiently and will prevent cracking or debonding when stressed.
Toughness is a measure of a material's resistance to cracking. Generally the more deformation the resin will accept before failure, the tougher and more crack-resistant the resulting composite materials will be. Good resistance to the environment, water and other aggressive substances, together with an ability to withstand constant stress cycling, are properties essential to composite resin systems.
Plasma Spray Coatings
Protective coatings and barrier layers include gelcoats, which are used as coatings in the mould. They involve colour technology, air release, thick film build-up and rapid cure times to produce finished surfaces with excellent gloss, colour and surface integrity retention after years of environmental exposure. Gelcoats provide both excellent protection for structural laminates as well as the levels of gloss and colour retention. Thermal sprayed aluminium coatings provide wear and corrosion resistant coatings.
Composite Reinforcements
The role of the reinforcement in a composite material is fundamentally one of increasing the mechanical properties of the neat resin system. All of the different fibres used in composites have different properties and so affect the properties of the composite in different ways. Individual fibres or fibre bundles can only be used on their own in a few processes such as filament winding. For most applications, the fibres need to be arranged into some form of sheet, known as a fabric, to make handling possible. Different ways for assembling fibres into sheets and the variety of fibre orientations possible lead to there being many different types of fabrics, each of which has its own characteristics.
Core Materials
Engineering theory shows that the flexural stiffness of composite panels is proportional to the cube of its thickness. The purpose of a core in composite laminates is therefore to increase the laminate's stiffness by thickening it with a low-density core material. This can provide a dramatic increase in stiffness for very little additional weight. In addition, particularly when using lightweight, thin laminate skins, the core must be capable of taking a compressive loading without premature failure. This helps to prevent the thin skins from failing when buckling.
Composites design.
In summary, there are many different composite materials, all with their own strength, stiffness, toughness, heat resistance, cost, production rate etc. Composite design includes composite materials selection for bonded structures.
Composites Repair.
Damaged lightweight composite structures are repairable, but sometimes unpredictable due to variable adhesion during manufacture. They can be damaged unwittingly and no two composites are identical.

Deindustrialization is a process of social and economic change brought about by the reduction or removal of industrial production. It represents an economic shift that usually occurs in mature economies, such as that of the US. Although it can be beneficial to some sectors, deindustrialization can cause widespread joblessness and poverty in industrial cities like Detroit, Michigan, the onetime "automobile capital of the world."

Magnificent waves and a policy of sustainable surfing combine to make Pasta Point at Cinnamon Dhonveli is one of the most sought after surfing locations by award-winning surfers from around the world. In fact, it was said that the father of surfing, Tony Hussein Hinde was shipwrecked here in the early 70's and fell in love with the location because of its ability to not be affected by winds and its constant delivery of pristine surfing waves.
We are Green Globe ISO 22000, 14000 & 18000 certified. We have a strict policy of permitting only 30 surfing spots on the island at a given time while we also encourage our guests to follow environmentally conscious policies when they are on the island.
Maximum 30 surfers!
Surfing at Pasta Point and the surf transfer boats are for Atoll Adventures' clients only.
Please note that all surfers and companions booking to Cinnamon Dhonveli must be booked on the Atoll Adventures surfing package which includes airport transfers; accommodation; full board; surf transfers; other activities and Maldives taxes. Bookings can only be made through Atoll Travel or one of its accredited agents. (It is not possible to book a surfing package through Bookings.com or any online portal)
Atoll Adventures
In 1991 Atoll Adventures' founder the late Tony Hussein Hinde selected the little resort on Kanuoiy Huraa island in North Male Atoll as the location to establish the Maldives first land based surf tour. It was chosen for one reason…..it's simply the best location for surfers with the quality and consistency of Pasta Point and the proximity to three other world class waves. Much has changed; the old Tari Village resort became the luxurious Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives and Atoll Adventures became the most exclusive and comprehensive surfing operation in the Maldives maintaining the highest standards of service and sustainability:-

Watch Oscars Academy Awards 2020 Live Stream Online (Free and Paid) The Oscars will be reissued exclusively by American ABC in 2020, with extra red carpet coverage also courtesy of Entertainment Weekly and People. Here, we will explain how you can watch online the broadcast of the Oscar live on your computer, smartphone, tablet or even television. Being able to see the Oscars live is easy to do when you follow some simple tips.
The ceremony will begin on Sunday, February 9, at 5:30 pm in Los Angeles. For the live broadcast of reading Oscar nominees 2020, the Academy Awards 2020 will enable several official broadcasts. The main one will be on YouTube. You can connect from anywhere.
- 1 How Oscar Academy Awards 2020 winners are chosen
- 2 Oscars 2020 Live Stream Online
How Oscar Academy Awards 2020 winners are chosen
How many times have you wondered who blame your favourite actor not being among the Oscar nominees is? Or worse, let it be nothing to win the prize. It has happened to me more than once!
But the truth is that even if we get angry, shout and kick. Things don't change. Nobody listens to our complaints. And maybe it's because we don't direct them to who corresponds. You know what the process is and this year you know who to be angry with, or who to thank.
Who is part of the Academy?
When we listen to the winners on the stage, thanks to the Academy Awards 2020 of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) is never lacking, but we don't know much more than that, we have no idea what's behind it.
The Academy was founded in 1927 and is an organization formed by more than 6000 directors and film professionals, who set out to recognize the merits of world cinematography. But they are not chosen people just like that, but instead, they are like belonging to a private club, which is only entered with an invitation or being someone very prominent within the industry.
One of the last rules applied to promote the entry of new members, and make it more representative, is that those persons belonging to the Academy who have been inactive for more than 10 years lose their ability to vote.
Although the Academy does not publish the list of its members, what is known is that all the unions are represented: producers, directors, actors, audio designers, and much more? It should be noted that the same person can only apply for one of the groups. For example, Brad Pitt exclusively belongs to the Academy as an actor, and not as a producer. This is important because in those cases, they can only vote in their field. What they can do is vote for their category and also for the best film.
It is not as easy as it looks
When selecting the nominees, the Academy uses the method of single transferable vote: the members assign a number in order of preference to the films they consider best. They can select between five and ten tapes, and any movie that gets approximately 550 mentions as the best one automatically becomes a nominee.
It is important to note that the use of this method is not a coincidence. Its purpose is that the votes are representative since those who vote are those who are selected. Many will want to vote to keep the prize. With this form of proportional representation voting, such things are avoided, and everything is correct to put it in some way.
At the moment in which a film reaches the necessary minimum, the votes that exceed the quota are transferred to the second-best option of the electorate. And also, the movie with fewer votes disappears, and their votes are also transferred to the second-best option. This procedure is repeated until a list of the most voted movies is obtained.
Then, to determine the winner, the same method is carried out, with the difference that the quota is 50% of the votes. That is, for a film to be the winner of the Oscar it must obtain at least more than 3000 votes.
However, there are specific requirements when it comes to being able or not to be nominated. As for the tapes, they should last more than 40 minutes, with a format of 35 or 75 mm, or with a minimum resolution of 2048×1080 pixels. Also, the producers of these tapes must complete an enrollment form within a period stipulated by the Academy.
Did you think it was simple? Well, it is not. The truth is that the process is quite controlled. So, the elections are fair and representative. Now, you know who you have to get mad at when they give the list of Oscar winners.
Secret count with envelopes and cards
A consultant controls the entire voting process to keep the secret until the envelope is opened. Members of the Academy can vote online, but most continue to do so in the most traditional way: ballots inside an urn.
The consultant PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) has been in charge of counting votes for more than 80 years and guarantees that the winning names are kept secret until the gala.
The ballots are divided and taken to various sites, all secret, where a dozen PwC people tell them. In the end, two people collect the results and add them to discover the winners.
Only two people in the world know the voting results before the winners are announced at the ceremony.
The company in charge of cards and envelopes does not know who will be the winners of each category. That is why you must print one card for each nominee, to keep the unknown.
The two PwC people who know the results are those who select the cards with the winning names put them in the envelopes and store it in a locked briefcase. The other cards with the names of the nominees are destroyed.
The briefcase with the envelopes is guarded by PwC until the day of the gala. Also, it is protected during the show. The presenters of each category collect the sealed envelope just before going on stage.
This ensures that no one discovers the winners before time. Despite all the precautions, sometimes mistakes are made like last year when an envelope with the wrong name slipped into the gala. It caused the most commented scene in recent years.
Value of the award
To preserve the prestige of the prizes, each Oscar winner must sign a document by which he accepts that, in case of wanting to sell the statue. 10 dollars is the maximum that the organization is willing to pay, so trying is not worth it. It is estimated that the value of the statuette is about 400 dollars, but its manufacture (made of gold-plated tin) costs between 500 and 900. Now, come to the value of the award. Male winners get over 3.9 million dollars and female winners get over 5 million dollars.

This real challenged ERP implementation case centers on a lawsuit brought by the financiers against the developers/implementers. When the speed of the implementation didn't match the customer's unreasonable expectations, a lawsuit resulted. Taken from the implementer's point of view, Mr. Reid outlines the case, his analysis, his opinions, and the final verdict.
Time has shown that virtually all failed ERP Software Implementations follow a predictable pattern of promises made, commitments broken, and a suitable system that is never delivered, fails to meet its agreed-to goals, or that cannot be implemented. This example of a real case shows how Mr. Reid performed his analyses and opined as an expert witness from the developer side of a cancelled ERP development project.

In the news
COLUMBUS—Senators Andrew Brenner, R-Delaware County, and Nickie Antonio, D-Cuyahoga County (pictured, right), today announced the formation of the Ohio General Assembly's first Developmental Disabilities Caucus, a group of lawmakers dedicated to tackling issues affecting Ohioans with developmental disabilities and Ohio's DD support system.
"I look forward to working with my colleagues across the aisle and the many advocacy groups who are committed to helping us achieve our goals and better serve those with disabilities and their families," said Brenner. "We work hard to ensure there is opportunity and a future for all Ohioans, and this caucus will find new ways to continue to grow and improve."
Support services for Ohio's more than 93,000 residents with developmental disabilities and their families are funded by a mix of county, state, and federal dollars. The majority of services are coordinated by the state's 88 county boards of DD and delivered by provider agencies. DD services are regulated by the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities.
"As a former special education teacher and advocate for the disability community, I am happy to join my colleague, Senator Brenner, in this new Caucus," said Antonio. "People who make up the disability community are an important part of the fabric of our society and we as legislators should do everything we can to work together for shared goals."
The DD Caucus will initially focus on educating legislators on the needs of people with developmental disabilities, coordinating policy development that helps strengthen DD supports, and engaging with DD system advocates and leaders to learn more about current and future needs. The group's first meeting will be held on April 16, 2019 at 4:30 p.m.
Ohio's DD system stakeholders have identified a number of priorities for consideration by the DD Caucus. These include:
The caucus will accept input from several advocacy groups representing people served by Ohio's DD system and various professional organizations. Current partners include

Statistics, Histograms, and Probability
In all likelihood you have computed an average, for example, the average of all your test scores in a course. To find your average, you add your scores and divide by the number of tests. The mathematical term for this average is the mean. On the other hand, the median is the value in the of the data if the number of data points is odd. For example, if the test on a particular test in a class of 27 students have a median of 74, then 13 students scored below 74; 13 scored above 74, and one student obtained a grade number of data points is even, the median is the mean of the two 'values close the middle. The mean need not be the,same as the median. For example, for the data 65, 68, 74, 88, 95, the mean is 75, whereas the median Little mean of 68 and 74; or 71.
MATLAB provides the mean(x) median (x) functions to perform _these computations. If x is a vector, the mean (or median) value of the vector's values is returned. However, if x is a matrix, a row vector is returned containing the mean (or median) value of each column of x. These functions do not require the elements in x to be sorted in ascending or descending order.
In many applications, the mean and the median do not adequately describe a data set. Two data sets can-have the same mean (or the same median) yet be very different. For example, the test scores 60, 65, 68, 74, 88,95 have the same mean , as the scores 71, 72, 73, 77, 78, 79, but the two sets describe very.different test outcomes. The first set of scores vary over large range, whereas in the second set-the scores are tightly grouped about the mean.
The way the data are spread around the mean can be described by a histogram plot. A histogram is a.plot of the frequency of occurrence of data values versus the values themselves. For example, suppose that in a class of 20 students the 20 scores on the first test were
61 61 65 67 69 72 74 74 76 77
83 83 85 88 89 92 93 93 95 98
On this test there are five scores in the 60-69 range, five in the 70-79 range, five in the 80-89 range, and five in the 90-100 range. The histogram for these scores is shown in the top graph in Figure 7.1-1. It is a bar plot of the number of scores that occur within each range, with the bar centered in the middle of the range (for example, the bar for the range 60-69 is centered at 64.5, and the asterisk on the plot's abscissa shows the bar's center).
Suppose that on the second test the following 20 scores were achieved:
66 69 72 74 75 76 77 78 78 79
79 80 81 83 84 85 87 88 90 94
On this test there are two scores in the 60-69 range, nine in the 70-79 range, seven in the 80-89 range, and two in the 90-100 range. The histogram for these scores is shown in the bottom graph in Figure 7.1-1. The mean on both tests is identical and is 79.75. However, the distribution of the scores is very different. On the first test we.say that the scores are evenly, or "uniformly," distributed between 60 and 100, whereas on the second test the scores are more clustered around the mean.
To plot a histogram, you must group the data into sub ranges, called bins. In this example the four bins are.the ranges 60-69,70-79, 80-89, and 90-100. The choice of the bin width and bin center can drastically change the shape of the histogram. If the number of data values is relatively small, the bin width can not be small because some of the bins will contain no data and the resulting histogram might not usefully illustrate the distribution of the data.
To obtain a histogram, first sort the data if it has not yet been sorted (you can use the sort function here). Then choose the bin ranges and. bin centers and count the number of values in each bin. Use the bar function to plot the number of values in each bin versus the bin centers as a bar chart. The function bar (x I Y} creates a bar chart of y versus x. The MATLAB script file that generates Figure 7.1-1 follows. We have selected the bin centers to be in the middle of the ranges 60-69, 70-79, 80-89, 90-99.
MATLAB provides the hi s t command to generate a histogram. This command has several forms. Its basic form is hi s t (y) ,where y is a vector containing the data. This form aggregates the data into 10 bins evenly spaced between the minimum and maximum values in y. The second form is hist (y, n ) , where . n is a user-specified scalar indicating the number of bins. The third form is hi s t (y r x) ,where x is a user-specified vector ,that determines the location. of the bin centers; the bin widths are the distances between the centers.
will not be satisfactory. This case occurs when you want to obtain a relative frequency histogram. In such cases you can use the bar function to generate the histogram. The following script file generates the relative frequency histogram for the 100 thread tests. Note that if you use the bar function, you must aggregate the data first.
The result appears in Figure 7.1-4.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth forms of the hi s t function do not generate a plot, but are used to compute the frequency counts and bin locations. The bar function can then be used to plot the histogram. The syntax of the fourth form is [z , x] = hi s t (y) , where z is "the returned vector containing the frequency count and x is the returned vector containing the bin locations. The fifth and sixth forms are [z, x] = hist (y ,n) and [z , x] = hist (y, x). In the latter
case the returned vector x is the same as the user-supplied vector. The following script file shows how the sixth form can be used to generate a relative frequency histogram for the thread example with 100 tests.
The plot generated by this M-file will be identical to that shown in Figure 7.1-4. These commands are summarized in Table 7.1-1.
The Data Statistics Tool
With the Data Statistics tool you can calculate statistics for data and add plots of the statistics to a graph of the data. The tool is accessed from the Figure window after you plot the data. Click on the Tools menu, then select Data Statistics. The menu appears as shown in Figure 7.1-5. To plot the mean of the dependent variable (y), click the box in the row labeled mean under the column labeled Y, as shown in the figure. You can plot other statistics as well; these are shown in the figure. You can save the statistics to the workspace as a structure by clicking on the'Save to Workspace button. This opens a dialog box that prompts you for a name for the structure containing the x data, and a name for the y data structure.
Probability is expressed as a number between 0 and 1 or as a percentage between o percent and 100 percent. For example, because there are six possible outcomes from rolling a single die, the probability of obtaining a specific number on one roll is 1/6, or. 16.67 percent. Thus if you roll the die a large number of times, you expect to obtain a 2 one-sixth of the time. Figure 7.1-6 shows the theoretical uniform probabilities for rolling a single die, and the relative frequency histogram for the data from 100 die rolls. The number of times a 1,2,3,4,5, or Occurred was 21,14, 18, 16, 19,and 12 respectively. The plots of the theory and the data are very similar, but not identical. In general, if you had rolled the die 1000 times instead of 100 times, the histogram would look even more like the theoretical probability plot.
If you roll two balanced dice, each roll has 36 possible outcomes because each die can produce six numbers. There is only one way to obtain a sum of 2, but there are two ways to obtain a sum of 3, and so on. Thus the probability of rolling a sum of 2 is 1/36, and the probability of rolling a sum of 3 is 1/36 +1/36 = 2/36.
Continuing this line of reasoning, you can obtain the theoretical probabilities for the sum of two dice, as shown in the following table.
Probabilities Cor the sum of two dice
Sum 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Probability (x 36) 1 2 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 2 1
An experiment was performed by rolling two dice 100 times and recording the sums. The data follows.\
Data Cor two dice
Sum 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Frequency 5 5 8 11 20 10 8 12 7 10 4
Figure 7.1-7 shows the relative frequency histogram and the theoretical probabilities on the same plot, If you had collected more data, the histogram would have been closer to the theoretical probabilities.
The theoretical probabilities can be used to predict the outcome of an experiment. Note that the sum of the theoretical probabilities for two dice equals I, because it is 100 percent certain to obtain a sum between 2 and 12. The sum of the probabilities corresponding to the outcomes 3, 4, and 5 is 2/36 +3/36 +4/36 1/4. This result corresponds to a probability of 25 percent. Thus if you roll two dice many times, 25 percent of the time you would expect to obtain a sum of either 3, 4, or 5.
In many applications the theoretical probabilities are not available because the underlying causes of the process are not understood well enough. In such applications you can use the histogram to make predictions. For example, if you did not have the theoretical probabilities for the sum of two dice, you could use the data to estimate the probability. Using the previously given data from 100 rolls, you can estimate the probability of obtaining a sum of either 3, 4, or 5 by summing the relative frequencies of these three outcomes. This sum is (5 +8 + 11)/100 = 0.24, or 24 percent. Thus on the basis of the data from 100 rolls, 24 percent of the time you can estimate that you would obtain a sum of either 3,4, or 5. The accuracy of the estimates so obtained is highly dependent on the number of trials used to collect the data; the more trials, the better. Many sophisticated statistical methods are available to assess the accuracy of such predictions; these methods are covered in advanced courses.
Test Your Understanding
17 .1-2 If you roll a pair of balanced dice 200 times, how many times would you expect to obtain a sum of 7? How many times would you expect to obtain a sum of either 9, 10, or II? How many times would you expect to obtain a sum less than 7? (Answer: 33 times, 50 times, and 83 times.)

By Julie Allen, Founder and CEO
There are supporters and there are Champions. But there's only one Dr. Price.
When we tell people about our partner high school, Lincoln North Star, the "star" of the story is always its principal, Dr. Vann Price. Because to say that Lead Up would still be just an idea on a drawing board without Dr. Price isn't an understatement.
When we asked our partner Nebraska Wesleyan to suggest a high school partner, Vice President for Campus Community T. J. McDowell didn't hesitate: "North Star. Let's go meet with Dr. Price." And what great advice it turned out to be.
From that first introduction, it was clear that Dr. Price has mastered the highest calling of leadership: creating the conditions to help others succeed. You can feel it the minute you enter the school and hear it in the way she talks about the community in her care. So, I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that she was enthusiastic about our plans to help North Star students reach their potential, grow into leaders and set out on new life paths they may not have considered themselves prepared for.
From helping to select Lead Up Student Leaders, integrating Lead Up into the North Star Community and providing feedback and support for programmatic ideas, Dr. Price has had an indelible impact on Lead Up and is an invaluable force in our success.
Recently, we learned that Dr. Price, who has been at North Star since it opened in 2002, will be moving to a new position as LPS Supervisor for Secondary Personnel Services. While we will miss her friendship and wise guidance, we know she will continue to inspire others and continue her commitment to ensuring all of Lincoln's students have the opportunities and support they need to change the world.
To a remarkable leader and one of the nation's finest principals: Thank you. We are Leading Up because of you. If you're still wondering about how much you matter to Lead Up and our wonderful students, read on.
Dear Dr. Price.
I remember going into your office confused as to why I was called out of class. Being told I was chosen to be in a program that would help me with college was the moment I saw my future get a little brighter. Since then it has been an adventure and in less than a week I will be graduating and preparing for college.
Dear Dr. Price.
I remember getting a pass that said, "See Dr. Price" and I was so scared I was in trouble! When I got to the office I joined a table full of students and you said, "Who wants to go to college?" Right then and there I knew I was getting into something life-changing.
Dear Dr. Price
Thank you for helping start Lead Up and introducing me to it. Your encouragement of our Lead Up activities has helped not just me but my fellow students keep going.

Language requirements
The language of instruction of all undergraduate/bachelor programmes (1st cycle) is Portuguese. English is only used in some Master and Doctorate programmes as the main language of instruction. However, most academic staff speaks English, and some speaks also other languages, mostly Spanish and French, which help with tutoring classes.
For a programme fully instructed in English proficiency in the English language is required for admission. Therefore, the standard level required of English is the following, depending on the type of tests:
- For the Common European Framework (CEFR) the minimum level is C1;
- For the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) the minimum scores are 550 for paper-based test, 213 for computer-based test, and 80for Internet-based test;
- For the International English Language Testing Service (IELTS) the minimum score is 6.0;
- For the Cambridge Advanced English (CAE) the minimum grade is C.
To be able to integrate in the daily local life, one needs to learn the national language. Therefore, the University of Algarve organises a
number of Portuguese language courses at various levels, which students are strongly advised to enrol.
- Portuguese as a Foreign Language – 3 ECTS course, each semester. Aims to all foreign students attending the University and wish to improve their knowledge of the language.
- Portuguese ERASMUS Intensive Language Course (EILC) – 5 ECTS course, usually during July/August or January.
Note: Fees are sometimes charged to some Portuguese language courses.
