I learned some days ago how #moisture gets trapped inside #sealed enclosures used for #electronics when exposed to daily cycles of heat and cold.
The cold creates lower pressure inside. If that overpowers the seals, then outside air gets sucked in, carrying moisture. This extra moisture can condense inside and accumulate at the bottom.
In the next warm part of the cycle, if some air is expelled because of the higher pressure, that moisture is not carried out because it is in a liquid state.🧵
Repeat this a lot of times, and you will get the electronic circuit diving inside the enclosure 😂
I want to measure how the humidity and pressure fluctuate inside an enclosure that I'm prototyping for an industrial composting temperature sensor, so I assembled a quick hack with an Adafruit ESP32 Feather V2 running SensorWatcher that will report that every 10 minutes. The sensors are an HTU31D for humidity and a BMP388 for pressure.🧵
Streaming now from Goldsmith, Dana Erekat (CEO of whyze) & Eyal Weizman (Forensic Architecture) open a symposium on the role of architecture and planning in colonialism (focused on Palestine, but it's a broader discussion architects refuse to have)
does anyone happen to have access to the wall street journal archives from the '70s? i'm looking for one specific article that should be pretty easy to find (and, really, just the date of that article) & would very much appreciate some #research assistance.
Using AI to oversee dynamic fusion machines is a hot area of research. It doesn't mean generative AI like ChatGPT. It's old-school AI, where you train a machine to recognize patterns in complex real-world data then let it make decisions.
New research out of #London, Ont.’s #WesternUniversity is shedding light on a potential cure for #ALS, in which the targeting of the interaction between two proteins can halt or fully reverse the disease’s progression.
According to a news release from Western University on Monday, a team of researchers, led by Dr. #MichaelStrong, have discovered a potential path toward a cure for #AmyotrophicLateralSclerosis, also known as ALS
Hi everyone! I am currently writing a term paper, titled Examining Filipino family heritage expression in family tree mapping. This study is a term paper to be submitted in my PS 215: Special Course on Filipino Heritage course at the Asian Center.
My paper hopes to answer the question "How is family heritage expressed in the work of Filipinos who conduct family tree mapping?"
If you are someone who's done family tree mapping or any sort of genealogical research on your ancestors, then be part of a mini FGD for my study. This will be done remotely, via Zoom. I am looking for 3-4 more participants.
If you are interested in the study and would like to participate, feel free to send me a message here, Facebook (Jericho Daniel Igdanes), or through email (jdigdanes@up.edu.ph).
"When applying a risk assessment framework to universities, research is an activity that is inherently high risk, since we are working to create something that is not yet known."
Plant scientists at the University of Tennessee wanted to figure out alternatives to mechanical radiation sensors, which have a history of failing at the wrong time.
How about a potato plant that glows fluorescent green when exposed to radiation?
