CONT

Another factor that gave way to the evolution of fast fashion is trends. Everyone wants to be like the great artists and celebrities of today. As a result, people will want to wear the most recent trends and clothes. But, to satisfy such want, a larger phenomenon is necessary. All this has led to the birth of "ultra-fast fashion", a fashion even faster than what ... now exists.

The -196°C Quick/Snap Freezer is a portable -196°C freezer capable of vitrifying small tissue samples and quick freezing medium sized contained samples while being operated in the Life Science Glovebox.

CONT

The Quick/Snap Freezer will be used to cool all samples before they are inserted into the storage freezer and will also provide a means to transport cooled samples between the Life Sciences Glovebox, the X-ray Crystallography Facility, and the Cryogenic Storage Freezer. It will "quick freeze" 2 ml (0.1 in.n) contained samples and ultra-rapidly freeze ("snap freeze") small (1 x 2 x 1 mm or 0.04 x 0.08 x 0.04 in.) tissue samples. The unit will be accessible from within the work volume of the Life Science Glovebox.

An approach to arithmetic operations of numbers in logarithmic form, which involves two separate pieces of circuitry that operate simultancously. One performs a fast but inaccurate table look-up, while the other calculates the error associated with the look-up and corrects it. It was developed in 1996 by Dr. Nick Coleman of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in order to speed up logarithmic addition and substraction by computer chips.

The ultra-rapid fluidized (URF) reactor impacts jets of a hot (1000 °C) particulate heat carrier onto a jet of cold particulate carbonaceous feedstock to effect rapid pyrolysis through thermal shock. Biomass, heavy oils and asphalts have been pyrolyzed in a mini-pilot plant. Scale-up has been studied on cold models. The objective is to produce chemical intermediates for the synthesis of petrochemicals and transportation fuels.
