Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a thermoelectric method of removing metal from a workpiece through a series of sparks between the metal and the workpiece. It is considered a non-traditional method because it does not need mechanical force in the removal process, which is in the same way as laser cutting. An electric spark discharge (thus the name) is used as a cutting tool to cut (erode) a workpiece to a desired final shape in EDM. Thus, EDM has been the preferred method for complex and high-accuracy machining applications that would be difficult or impossible to perform using conventional metal removal processes.  Here, we’ll discuss more on what EDM is and how it is used.

Lighting up public places like streets, roads, and parks is a necessity. The lights provide a sense of security in the dark of night. However, these street lights consume lots of energy. Only in the United States, street lights consume the same amount of energy as 1.9 million households. The street lights are also responsible for generating carbon emissions equivalent to 2.6 million cars. An alternative to this that has really caught on in a few states recently is the use of solar-powered street lights. Solar street lights are not only energy and cost-effective but are also environmentally-friendly.

When a student chooses a science-related major, they don’t just want to “hit the jackpot”, they want to get the Jackpot Capital bonus. They want their educational path to end with the dream job of dream jobs. But if a student is interested in the hard sciences, are there other significant choices besides biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and earth science?  The answer is yes, and in this article, we are going to talk about them. Applied Mathematics BS In the study of theoretical mathematics or pure mathematics, the student is involved in theory, research, and future mathematics professors. In applied mathematics, using math in various applications to solve problems, including engineering, psychology, finance, accounting, business, computer science, etc. Theoretical mathematics is pure in nature which will need more abstract thinking skills than problem-solving skills. Applied mathematics is more focused on problem-solving than abstract thinking as you will look at solving the world’s most complex problems through the use of mathematics.

The new day registration law obliges companies to keep a daily record of the start and end times of their workers’ day. Organizations, especially those that focus on human capital management, have different alternatives when it comes to supervising the work activity of their employees but not all of them adapt to all job profiles or offer the same data reliability. The effectiveness of the systems chosen should not be at odds with the satisfaction of the employees who are going to be exposed to them since, if so, their motivation would be affected and with that their productivity could suffer the consequences.

We can expect to see significant changes this year for the society. There will be new challenges for technology to deal with. Organizations, businesses and individuals will need to adjust and realign to these new challenges.  Moving towards Environmental Governance There have been some surprising developments over the past couple of years that have seriously challenged the way large organizations and companies carry out their businesses. We had the MeToo movement, the climate crisis and the growing awareness of the problem of income inequality. There has also been a growing awareness that issues of diversity and inclusion are not just factors for the (CSR):  corporate social responsibility. It has become necessary to realign the basic principles of big companies around new sets of values which stress more than just the obligations they have to their shareholders. Last Year, a DC-based industry group, the members of which are CEOs of some of the biggest companies in the US stated that their aim was now to give their employees and customers priority over shareholders and made a commitment to promote diversity and inclusion. Employees working in large companies, like Amazon, are also making their voices heard, and not just about things that…

The Rising Tide of Metrology Markets             According to Market Watch analytics the global industrial metrology market was valued at $9.08 billion in 2017 and is projected to reach 14.41 billion by 2025. This explosive growth is attributed to a number of factors that will be explored in this article. Beyond looking at the hard facts of objective growth, the subject that perhaps is even more important is that of the conceptual strengths of metrology, and more specifically, the symbiotic relationship of these strengths and the adjacent industry of Big Data. Where Did Metrology Come From?             When an individual hears the word metrology they might be able to recognize the roots of the word in ancient greek. The history of the word as we use it today originates from the Greek roots ‘metron,’ which means measurement and ‘logos,’ which means logic. From combining these words we can understand the core tenants of metrology, that is, the logic of measurement. Modern applications include any variety of science which attempts to measure an object, whether it be real or conceptual. Perhaps the most important application, however, is metrology’s endeavor to quantify inaccuracies in measurement–both theoretical and actual–in order to increase productivity…

Augmented reality is not a well-known concept as virtual reality. This technology has an incredible variety of exciting applications. Yet, most significant commercial projects didn’t see as much success as expected. These attempts showed that augmented reality is not refined enough to push it into the masses. However, niche application in various science fields has been and still is an option for investors and users. Having an interactive reference superimposed on the real-world layer is a useful tool. It can be used in fields like biology and engineering, among others. This will undoubtedly help students grasp the subject better. Simultaneously, it is a great way to assist professionals in their daily routines. The niche nature of the tasks will make it easier to develop the software and hardware. This is relevant for minimizing the risk of mishaps caused by unexpected occasions. This is precisely why science is currently the main playing field for AR innovators. Once the fundamentals are nailed down, it will be much easier to pursue commercial fields. Although there have been some successful attempts of that already. Below you will find the top three ways of AR application in education. And here are some useful assignment writing…

When was the last time you thought about the quality of your water? Modern technology offers us so many conveniences; in fact, you’d be surprised how many things we take for granted due to science. Buying food is as simple – or simpler, even – as going to a grocery store. Antibiotics can take care of many ailments that used to be life-threatening. And as for water, it’s readily available from any tap inside your home. It’s easy to forget that all water has to be treated somehow before making it to your home. In nature, water generally suffers from some contaminants, no matter where you find it. And when it comes to all of our needs, water treatment is absolutely crucial.
