CONT

The rule is called the chain rule for obvious reasons. We follow a chain of reasoning from A, through B to C.

CONT

... the two rules of inference most used in problem solving are modus ponens ("If A implies B and you know A, then infer B") and modus tollens ("If A implies B and you know not-B, then infer not-A")... Linking several applications of modus ponens together is sometimes called the "chain rule" because inferences are chained together in a sequence....

CONT

... a goal window was included in which a student was required to post the goal(s) she was working on before selecting operators. .... The chain rule is the proposed operator which, before it can be applied, needs two sub-goals to be satisfied....

DEF

The simplest of all weave interlacings in which the odd warps threads operate over one and under one weft thread throughout the fabric with the even warp threads reversing this order to under one, over one, throughout.

CONT

Surface finish ... there are two very popular surface finishes in demand, Plain Weave and Black Matte. Plain Weave is the common "checkerboard" finish that easily demonstrates the presence of graphite in the product ... Plain Weave fabrics that we use on our laminates very often have "tracers", or colored yams that allow manufacturers to verify that fiber position is correct in larger structures.

CONT

Woven fabrics are mostly of simple construction such as the plain weave ... in simple construction there is only one set of warp yarns (the lengthwise yarn) and one set of weft yarns (the cross-wise yarn) making up the fabric, and all are equally responsible for the strength and appearance of the fabric. Patterns and effects are obtained by using various coloured yarns, different size yarns ... The simplest of weaves is the plain weave. Each weft yarn passes alternately over and under each wrap yarn. They are reversible, unless printed or finished, are of firm construction and wear well.
