Chapter II Review of Related Literature and Studies Related Literature Polystyrene Commonly known as Styrofoam that is one of the most widely used type of plastics. It is a strong plastic created from erethylene and benzine that can be injected, extruded, or blow molded; making it a very useful and versatile manufacturing material. It is also a rigid, transparent thermoplastic, which is present in solid or glassy state at normal temperature. But, when heated above its glass transition temperature, it turns into a form that flows and can be easily used for molding and extrusion. It becomes solid again when it cools off. This property of polystyrene is used for casting it into molds with fine detail. Pure polystyrene polymer is colorless†¦show more content†¦Oyster-shell is entirely composed of CaCO3 (approximately 96%) and other minerals of trivial amount. Various oyster-shells due to sources and individual characteristics are almost similar in the chemical composition. The mineral phase of calcium carbonate turns out to be calcite. Related Studies Foreign Xu, Yi; Jiang, Linhua; Xu, Jinxia; Li, Yang (2012) pointed out that mix proportion parameters of expanded polystyrene (EPS) lightweight aggregate concrete are analyzed by using Taguchis approach. The density, compressive strength and stress-strain behavior were tested. The optimal mixture of EPS lightweight aggregate concrete was selected among experiments under consideration to manufacture the lightweight hollow bricks. The results show that EPS dosage has the most significant effect on compressive strength of EPS lightweight aggregate concrete, then water and cement ratio, while the content of cement and sand ratio play a comparatively less important part. The relationship between density and compressive strength of EPS lightweight aggregate concrete is proposed as [f.sub.c] = 2.43 x [[gamma].sup.2.997] x [10.sup.-9]. The legitimacy of the use of EPS lightweight bricks made by EPS lightweight aggregate concrete is confirmed. According to the study of Sohrab Veiseh1 and Ali A. Yousefi2 (2003) the heavy weight of bricks accounts for the great mass of construction and thus causes more vulnerability against earthquake forces. In the present work, it is,Show MoreRelatedThe Potential of Young Mango Peelings as Organic Fertilizer to Tomato Plants.1626 Words   |  7 PagesCHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This study focuses on the determining the potential of using fermented young mango peelings as organic fertilizer.

Essay on Soiling of Old Glory Photograph by Stanley J....

This photograph taken by Stanley J. Forman appears to show a young Caucasian man using the American Flag as an improvised weapon. He forcefully cocks a pole bearing an American flag as if it were a spear in an attempt to impale it through someone. His target, an African American dressed in a formal suit, struggles to free himself from another man holding him firmly against his will. He holds the victim as the assailant directs the distinct red, white and blue American flag into the bull’s-eye. Bystanders pause in time and space to witness the occurrence. They watch nonchalantly. Some watch with approval; others watch with shock. The flag is positioned horizontally. The red and white stripes clearly stand out.

He ordered Boston to desegregate in all public schools by forced busing. This new plan forced students from white neighborhoods to go to school in black neighborhoods, and forced students black neighborhoods to go to school in predominantly white neighborhoods to balance the racial diversity. However, this ruling was highly unpopular among the White Americans who were still in favor of segregation. A series of protests began to follow soon after the desegregation orders, but the most significant protest would be captured in a series of snapshots. In the chilly morning of April 5, 1976, many white American teenagers boycotted their classes to go with their parents to protest against the desegregation ruling at the City Hall (Desmond). The White Americans, predominantly teenagers, wanted to forcibly segregate students of a different race on a separate bus. As the protesters walked around the plaza, an African American lawyer, Ted Landsmark, who works in the City Hall at the Contracts Association happens to be going towards the direction of the protest to attend a meeting as part of his daily routine. This time would be different. When the protesters see Landsmark coming towards them, hell would break loose. Stanley Forman arrives. On the morning of the event, Stanley Forman would arrive early
