DIDO Experiment Container is essentially a box with a side length of 150 mm. Design philosophy of DIDO experiment foreseen an "all inside" approach, so(at this moment) the experiment container is a mere box with no windows or openings, or relevant external features. DIDO EC is intended as a structural part for the inside experiment; only mechanical, electrical and data interfaces are required to connect DIDO EC with GLAD facility. The box is assembled as one piece but the topside is removable to have access to DIDO experiment. In this way the topside component works as a cover plate. The EC is made by(TBD) material and to meet safety requirements EC' s corners are slightly rounded, materials must not be flammable and machined with non-toxic surface treatment. Cover plate is connected with the box through screws. The bottom side, instead, compose the "first plate" of DIDO experiment, housing tanks and pumping system. Another plate placed about half height provides a "second plate" for DIDO cell and relative optics, laser unit and CCD camera.

OBS

Objectives of the experiment DIDO ... is the measurement of diffusion coefficients in a three-component solution. It’s impossible to carry out these measurements on Earth because in a diffusion boundary, when the transport is promoted by at least two independent driving forces, convention instabilities may arise, called "fingers" and "overstability."

Subject field(s)
  • Pottery
CONT

The "slab method" forms pottery from flat pieces of clay. The potter shapes the clay into flat slabs by pounding it with the fist or by flattening it with a rolling pin. Using one slab as the base, the potter places other slabs at right angles to it to form the side of a piece of pottery. The slabs are then attached together with slip.

CONT

The slab method involves building handmade pots from rolled-out pieces of clay ... from which may shapes can be formed. To keep an even thickness, roll the clay on a board with a small strip of wood nailed on each side, so that your rolling pin will ledge on them.

The divorce corset ... was ... a device ... to separate one breast from the other. ... a triangular piece of iron or steel, padded and with curved sides, the point projecting upwards between the breasts, thrusting them apart. (The History of Underclothes, 1951, p. 117).

CONT

The ill-named... divorce corset consists of a piece of steel or iron, of a triangular form, gently curved on each side. This formidable breast-plate... is covered with soft materials; and thus bedded, placed in the centre of the chest to divide the breasts.(Fashion and Fetishism, 1982, p. 113).

CONT

Très peu baleiné et considérablement réduit de hauteur par rapport aux anciens «corps», le corset «à la Ninon» qui apparaît vers 1810, consiste surtout à écarter les seins comme l'impose alors la mode. (Les dessus et les dessous de la bourgeoisie, 1981, p. 270).

swift : Another name for a reel. It is a lightweight, collapsible device upon which silk or rayon skeins are spread to be unwound. The swift is an ideal device upon which to place silk or rayon, in different manageable forms, for future use. The swift may be compared with a wheel without the usual rim. The two spokes, one on each side of the hub, of which there are six to eight sets, have a piece of string that joins them at the tips. This cord acts as a support and will form the skein as the rayon or silk is being wound onto the reel.

All you need is a metal clothes hanger, a plastic sandwich bag(or a piece of light tissue paper), a pair of scissors and two clothes pins. Cut the sandwich bag down each side and wrap one end over the cross-bar of the clothes hanger. Use the clothes pins to fasten the bag to the bar. Check for drafts, on a cold day, in all suspected areas. Hold the gauge steady by the handle of the hanger with the plastic bag close to the suspected areas. If any breeze is coming in, the movement of the plastic will show you where.
