Īmalgam fillings are widely used because they are strong and so provide durable chewing surfaces. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) estimated that more than one billion dental amalgam fillings were placed between 19. These "silver" fillings have been used since the nineteenth century and are still used millions of times every year in the United States. The components, mixed together in the dentist's office immediately before use, form a hard, stable material. Research continues in order to expand knowledge about any potential effects of amalgam fillings on certain populations, particularly fetuses, breast-fed infants, and very young children.ĭental amalgam fillings contain powdered silver, tin, and copper combined with metallic mercury (liquid mercury, quicksilver). Most scientific studies find no relationship between amalgam fillings and symptoms of mercury poisoning in any age group, although a small number of people have allergic reactions to these fillings. Because mercury has long been recognized as poisonous to humans, concerns about the potential of mercury poisoning from dental amalgams have been addressed by abundant research. The choice of filling materials depends on the location of surface(s) to be repaired, how cooperative the patient is, and several other factors.ĭental amalgam fillings contain mercury and other metals. ĭental cavities are treated by drilling out the decayed material and replacing it with a filling, either an amalgam filling or one of the newer types of tooth-colored composite fillings. Untreated tooth decay leads to holes in the teeth (cavities), infections (abscesses), pain, and tooth loss. The result is acid which can erode dental enamel. Tooth decay begins when bacteria in saliva and plaque, a sticky substance found on gums and teeth, interact with sugars and starches in the diet. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 41 percent of children had dental caries in their primary (baby) teeth and 90 percent of adults had caries in their permanent teeth. Most research finds no relationship between fillings and symptoms of mercury poisoning.ĭental caries (tooth decay) are pervasive. Do dental fillings containing amalgam ("silver fillings") cause mercury poisoning? Because my first impression of Doran was "this guy is an asshole" and I found it really hard to believe I would come to like him. The relationship between Solara and Doran Spaulding is not surprising what is surprising is how well it actually works. Her criminal antics land her on a spaceship with a strange assortment of characters - a kleptomaniac, an impossible flirt, a grumpy but lovable captain, and a girl with secrets - and she soon gets caught up in way more than she bargained for. She's living in a hard world and her options are limited, so who cares if that douchey rich guy gets caught up in her plans? He deserved it anyway. Solara is a tough heroine who is not afraid to break the rules to get what she wants. Somehow nearly every sci-fi/pirates/action book I've read this year has managed to be drowned by romance or tediousness ( Passenger, The Girl from Everywhere, Blackhearts) and yet this book - that is sold as a light, romantic space opera - is packed with action, interesting characters and dynamics, and a sense of love that goes way beyond the romantic, putting friendship and loyalty first. And, you know what? It was pretty spot on. The only thing drawing me in was the comparison to Firefly. I heard bad things about Landers' Alienated and the blurb doesn't even try to hide the romance (including, it would seem, a bunch of cliches). Out of all the 2016 releases promising exciting things, lots of action, thrills aplenty and badass pirates, Starflight might have been the one I expected the least from. "Too bad you make lousy tea."ģ 1/2 stars. But what Solara and Doran discover on the mysterious Planet X has the power to not only alter their lives, but the existence of everyone in the universe. Life on the Banshee may be tumultuous, but as Solara and Doran are forced to question everything they once believed about their world-and each other-the ship becomes home, and the eccentric crew family. As he pursues a set of mysterious coordinates rumored to hold the key to clearing his name, he and Solara must get past their enmity to work together and evade those out for their arrest. When a twist of fate lands them instead on the Banshee, a vessel of dubious repute, Doran learns he's been framed on Earth for conspiracy. She's so desperate to reach the realm that she's willing to indenture herself to Doran Spaulding, the rich and popular quarterback who made her life miserable all through high school, in exchange for passage aboard the spaceliner Zenith. Just out of the orphanage, she needs a fresh start in a place where nobody cares about the engine grease beneath her fingernails or the felony tattoos across her knuckles. Life in the outer realm is a lawless, dirty, hard existence, and Solara Brooks is hungry for it.
Which is equal to, let's see, 12 times 12 is 144, plusĪnother 24, so it's 168. Over here, which is this area, which is that area right over there. To figure out the area of, I guess you could say Of these, 14 times 10, they are 140 square units. It's also, this length right over here is the same as this length, so it's also 14 high and 10 wide. Now we can think about the areas of, I guess you could consider But that's also going toīe 48, 48 square units. If it was transparent, it would be this back Six times eight, which is equal to 48 whatever units, square units.

So, what's, first ofĪll, the surface area? What's the surface area So the surface area of this figure, when we open it up, we can justįigure out the surface area of each of these regions. So if you were to open it up, it would open up into something like this, and when you open it up, it's much easier to figure out the surface area. You can't see it just now, it would open up into something like this.

While there is no definitive historical account of the origin of the triangular prism or its surface area concept, it can be traced back to ancient Greece, where mathematicians like Euclid and Pythagoras laid the groundwork for modern geometry. Moreover, artists and designers frequently employ triangular prisms in their creations, making the knowledge of surface area invaluable for conceptualizing and executing their work. In packaging design, calculating the surface area of a triangular prism helps optimize material usage, reduce waste, and minimize costs. For instance, in construction and architecture, the surface area plays a role in determining the stability and strength of structures, as well as insulation and energy efficiency. Triangular prisms, like other three-dimensional shapes, have numerous real-life applications that make understanding their surface area essential. The concept of surface area has broad applications in various fields, including engineering, architecture, and design, where it is crucial to estimate material requirements, costs, and structural integrity. A triangular prism consists of two congruent triangles at the ends, known as bases, connected by three parallelogram-shaped lateral faces. The surface area of a triangular prism is a key concept in geometry that pertains to the total area covering the external faces of the three-dimensional shape.

Alternatively, a boolean array can be created to represent all the elements of an array that are greater than a certain value, and then used to replace all the elements of the original array that are greater than that value with a new value.Ĭonst a = math. This can be done by creating a boolean array that represents the desired conditions, and then using that array as an index to select the elements of the original array that meet those conditions.įor example, a boolean array can be created to represent all the even numbers in an array, and then used to filter the original array to only include the even numbers. Advanced Indexing #īoolean array indexing is a technique that allows you to filter, replace, and set values in an array based on logical conditions. The optional third argument defaultValue.

It’s different implementations of it, but it’s the same basic concept that was back on Gollum. It spreads the light as it goes through the surface so you get that skin-like feel. It’s basically like, if you light a wax candle, you see the diffusion of the light through it. Yeah, it’s called Subsurface and we actually got an Oscar for that technology. That was something that had never been done before. I remember reading that the reflection of light on and under Gollum’s skin and the way you could see his veins was one of the biggest innovations that you guys pioneered. Because he was so skinny, you saw all of the muscles moving under his skin. And because we were inventing technology as we were doing it, it was a huge challenge. Up to that point, you’d seen a lot of CG creatures, but none to the level of Gollum, where the detail him an actor on screen, rather than just a scary monster, which is what a lot of the CG creatures up to that point had been.
