The summer of sleaze reached its peak in August when its Polaris, Jonah Hill, attended Jonah Hill Day, the sweaty fashion-bro answer to SantaCon. After the great pendulum swung from dirtcore, those Pradagonia, Ritalin-rattled kids needed to land somewhere. So now it’s 2019 and Scumbros 2.0: The Boys Scrub Up has arrived with the onslaught of prep.

The Warwick laboratory’s eight vibration test cells each have a retractable roof to reduce noise and to enable test objects to be craned into position. Each cell houses a shaker able to deliver forces larger than 25kN. The laboratory’s two largest shakers are 160kN LDS V984s. The impressive machines weigh 18 tons, are water cooled, can move test objects of up to two tons in three axes on a table up to 2.1m wide (7ft) and can be swapped between horizontal and vertical configurations. They are connected to a 32-channel M+P VibRunner control and monitoring system.

A: I have a family saying: “Think of it as an adventure.” When you first approach something, it can look difficult. But when you actually do something, it may not be difficult at all. And even if it is a little bit of a challenge, that’s OK. That’s the adventure. You’re living a bigger life.

We like the traditional look of the linen bag too, with a potato illustration on the front and, most importantly, its light-blocking liner and sturdy but breathable material kept our maris piper spuds fresher for longer.

However, it is also possible to optimize existing packaging solutions regarding their cost-effectiveness and suitability based on the same parameters. For instance, a packaging with an injected desiccant compound solution contains a larger amount of desiccant due to general design and process-related reasons. In a first step, both cap and container can be made even tighter, thus maintaining the design format and saving some desiccant. Step two consists in finding the exact amount and type of desiccant required for the specific content. Experience shows that the amount of desiccant that is really needed to achieve the required shelf life in some projects can result in 30% less desiccant – for every single package. 

Intrigued? So were we as we walked into Soy Soi, the casual dining restaurant at Kotturpuram, Chennai, that offers Asian

“We load a truck up, put on a trailer, accelerate from zero to 95 mph, hard brake, and repeat that time after time after time,” said Mike Raymond, chief engineer for the Ram 1500. “We drive in heavy rain with washed-out gravel roads that create trenches a lane-width wide. We run the front wheels into the trenches and slam on our brakes to get the worst-case shock-loading experience on our suspension. We drive roads that could eat an entire wheel, and do it all day long.”

My favorite part about the containers is just how easy they are to reseal after use. Pressing one button makes it super simple and intuitive, which is great for people with children and those who have arthritis and struggle to open all the latches on other storage containers. Buyers rate these storage containers just as highly as I do — 75% of reviews on Amazon are 5 stars — but if you do run into any problems with them, the OXO Better Guarantee means you can get a repair or replacement. — Malarie Gokey

The two major types of products in the pet food industry are formed baked products and extruded products. The equipment used for these processes is similar to the human food industry. “For baked products, the dough structure is set in the oven, and the final baking yields a crisp product with some browning and flavor development,” Barber says. “Sometimes all of this is accomplished in the same oven, but the process may also require a post-bake dryer to more efficiently reduce the moisture content of the product.”

Figure 6 (C to H) shows a device after cycling, along with a summary of data acquired from the lactate and glucose sensors for subjects #1 and #2, respectively. For both subjects, the respective sensors produce voltage signals that yield corresponding concentrations based on calibration plots obtained at ~30°C (usual sweat temperature) (39). Analyte concentrations reported in these studies are consistent with previously published studies (12, 20) and with average concentration values in sweat [14 mM lactate, 170 μM glucose, 23 mM chloride (pH 5.5)] (38). Image analysis of Fig. 6 (C and F) reveals that the concentration of chloride is 62 ± 5 mM (subject #1; chamber #1), 36 ± 5 mM (subject #1; chamber #2), and 34 ± 2 mM (subject #1; chamber #1); the pH is 6.3 ± 0.05 (subject #1; chamber #1), 6.2 ± 0.03 (subject #1; chamber #2), and 6.4 ± 0.1 (subject #2; chamber #1); and the sweat rate is ~0.52 μl/min (subject #1) and ~0.88 μl/min (subject #2). Separate analyses using conventional techniques such as commercial benchtop chloridometry, pH analysis, and high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy provide points of comparison. These methods are widely used analytical chemistry approaches in sweat studies (48, 49). Figure S8C illustrates a typical NMR spectrum. Table S2 summarizes the results. In all cases, measurements from the device correlate well with those using conventional techniques. The data reveal that NMR measurements, however, consistently overestimate the sweat glucose and lactate values by approximately a factor of 2 when compared to corresponding data acquired from the device. The differences could arise from a combined effect of comparing real-time data acquired from our sensor to time and spatially averaged sample concentration measured by NMR and partial evaporation of sweat during collection and changes in measured concentrations due to steps involved in lyophilization and redistribution of the solute in deuterium oxide for NMR analysis. The sample collection and analysis for conventional methods are independent of the sensor application and subsequent data acquisition. Another set of human trials (six males and two females; age, 18 to 45 years) involves analysis of chloride and performing a cycling session (15 to 20 min) while simultaneously collecting sweat samples for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Figure S9 shows a linear correlation between the data acquired from the colorimetric chloride assay with the sweat chloride concentrations acquired from HPLC, thus illustrating good performance of the colorimetric chloride assay for sweat analysis.

The council spent £150,000 on refurbishing the wet side facilities at the Gillotts Lane centre a year ago following a Henley Standard exposé in February 2017 which revealed the changing rooms and showers were dirty and dilapidated.
