This includes green and organic personal care products which have become more appealing in influencing consumer’s purchase rather than other factors [1, 4].
This was to ensure the required end product consistency by assessing mixture flow properties and color [6].

The three factors that have a major impact on this process are the complexity, differentiation and timeliness, indicating that the application of new materials and technologies is simpler, similar to the application method of traditional materials and technologies and can be learned and mastered by architects in a short time.
In the modern construction system, the architects and structural engineers are one of the most important affecting factors.
According to the system theory, the integrity, diversity, relevance, hierarchy and constitutive property are the common basic features of all systems.
As the active users of architectural materials and technologies, architects and structural engineers are always the key decision-making and influencing factors in construction system.
In the early days, concrete was used in architecture because it has similar mechanical properties with the stone has.

The importance and diversity of clay minerals due to a variety of geological factors causes their wide use with a combination of factors essential and indispensable in many industrial processes [3].
The frying process develops characteristics such as darkening, increased viscosity, decreased smoke point and foaming affecting the quality of oil [7].
Fig.3 Samples of virgin vegetable oils (a) and used without treatment (b) and treated Source: Research data, 2009 Laboratory test The test was conducted mixing up of six grammes of clays (Tonsil; Aporofo) sample with 100g of used oil, the mixture was held under mechanical agitation for five minutes at a temperature of 120oC.
According to Neto et al. [11], the viscosity is a measure of internal resistance in a flowing liquid, and is also an important property of vegetable oils which must be controlled in order to control and to preserve the lubricant characteristic in engines, as well as the proper operation of the injection systems and fuel pumps.
However, there are features that differentiate Brazil, a tropical country like those in Europe: the temperature, which is high for most of the year and another important factor, is that in Europe biodiesel is produced from the oil of only one plant species, the rapeseed.

Contact Damage in Brittle Curved Coatings: The Influence of Indenter/Coating Modulus Mismatches Tarek Qasim, Chris Ford, Mark Bush, Xiao-Zhi Hu School of Mechanical Engineering, the University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Highway Crawley W.A. 6009, Australia a tqasim@mech.uwa.edu.au, b chrisf@mech.uwa.edu.au, cmark.bush@uwa.edu.au, d xhu@mech.uwa.edu.au Keywords: Margin damage, Curved surfaces, Radial cracks, Crown failure.
The combination of a hard, brittle outer layer and a compliant, tough inner layer offers high wear resistance and damage tolerance, factors that are crucial to the lifetime of such structures.
These studies have enabled the determination for various damage modes of the dependencies of critical loads on geometrical variables such as coating thickness, indenter radius and sample radius, as well as on material properties such as interlayer elastic modulus mismatch.
Critical loads PR to initiate the radial cracks are significantly affected by the indenter modulus (Fig. 4).
All damage modes should be evaluated, as well as geometrical variables and materials properties.

Although many researches have been done to investigate the effect of various factors on the microstructure of the brazing seam, they were not systematic.
This study examined the microstructure and mechanical properties of the brazed region with various powder-mixing ratios of the filler metal to the brazing alloys.
In order to evaluate the mechanical properties of the wide-gap brazed region, a tensile test was carried out at room temperature and at 1173K.
Therefore, it is considered that the Cr boride, Ni-Ni3B eutectic structure and pore in the wide-gap brazed region affect the bonding strength of the joints.

A single crystalline quartz was selected as the specimen material whose properties are given in Table 1.
Table 1 Properties of quartz crystal used in the experiment.
The volume of material removed by the impact of a particle depends on the kinetic energy of particle and the properties of the particle and workpiece materials.
Finnie [11] observed that the velocity and impact angle of particles are the primary factors for the erosion of brittle materials, and noted that particle size, shape, hardness and strength are also important.
Nozzle diameter, air pressure, jet impact angle and nozzle traverse speed are the most significant process parameters affecting the top groove width.

The coordination between number and quality of the composition factors, the faithfulness between entrusting Party and agent and the reasonable allocation and utilization of each factor resource are given more emphasis in the agritainment supply chain [4].
The individualization requires the factors of standardized service in the traditional sense shall be separated, reorganized and improved in detail according to the demand of the customers, and design the individualized tourist service voluntarily taking the demand of customers as orientation and make each kind of preparatory plan available for customers for the optional choice with the principle of “out of expectation, but within sense of reason”.
A minor detail, such as whether toilet bowls is leaky or not, whether the servants’ smile is sincere or suggest some special meaning, will affect the tourists’ attitude towards the whole course of the tour.
Being subject to various factors, there are some deficiencies in this paper, I sincerely expect you to make a criticism and point out mistakes.

Rare earth giant magnetostrictive material also has properties of high energy density, fast response speed and wide frequency band[3], and has shown promise for broad applications in the fields of ultrasonic transducers[4], sonar[5], precision machining, hydraulic drive[6] and active vibration control.
Sneed identified the stiffness of valve plate as an important factor affecting pump performance, low stiffness prohibits the shutdown of the one-way valve in the event of oil discharge, and high stiffness results in a significant drop in pressure[9].
First, when the input current is 6A, the output performance of the power amplifier is not stable, thus affecting the working performance of the magnetostrictive pump.
Secondly, after a long time passing a high value current, the driving coils become heated, thus affecting the telescopic deformation of the GMM rod, leading to great variation.

Introduction There is a general interest in the influence of native point defects on the physical and mechanical properties of technological materials.
Point defects play a central role in the mechanisms of mass transport in crystalline materials through diffusion, affecting, for instance, order-disorder phenomena in compounds, mechanical hardening through interactions with dislocations and grain boundaries, and electronic properties in semiconductor materials.
Accordingly, in order to understand and/or control the physical and mechanical properties of such materials it is important to gather knowledge on the structure and thermodynamic properties of point defects in crystalline solids.
An interesting case in this context involves the thermal and kinetic properties of point defects in fcc metals.
The calculated vacancy migration energy is in very good agreement with the measured value as well as the thermal and melting properties.

Introduction High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are promising candidate alloys for applications requiring unique combinations of diverse properties which are more located at the middle of multi component phase diagrams instead of the corners [1].
The simultaneous actions of these two elements serves as a breeding ground to optimize the structure and relevant properties.
Repeatability and ease of estimating properties via simple proposed models helps raise the possibility of producing reliable predictable new alloys.
Elemental partitioning is an important factor affecting the bulk properties of an alloy.
Also, segregation of such low melting temperature phase can negatively affect mechanical performance of an alloy in high temperatures.
