The interiors include sliding room dividers, closets made of semi-opaque glass and staircases cantilevered out of walls to appear as if they are floating.
Industrial plastic parts, made of semi-crystalline polymers, are often produced by injection molding.
Two robots (or conceivably more in the future) made of semi-random configurations of motorized blocks and capable of lurching movement, are given the impetus to make their way towards a bright light (in life this behavior is called phototaxis).
Results of experiments focused on assessment, in injection moulding, of the effects of independent variables (input parameters) on dependent variables: longitudinal shrinkage (¯¯¯Sw), perpendicular shrinkage (¯¯¯Sp) and weight (m) of the mouldings made of semi-crystalline polyoxymethylene (POM) or amorphous polystyrene (PS) were presented.
However, a large proportion was made of semi-gravid and gravid mosquitoes.
The walls were made of semi-permeable hydrophilic polysulfone fiber with 0.45-μm pores to prevent solid material from passing through.
The Sahel Belt lies between the Sahara desert in the north and the tropical forests in the south (more or less between parallels 20°N and 10°N), lacks high mountains or other barriers, and constitutes a particular and very specific ecosystem (fig. 1 A) made of semi-arid grasslands, savannas, steppes, and thorn shrublands.
In "Confessional" the monolith expands into a habitable hut made of a semi-transparent patchwork of wire lightly clotted with tar.
A comparative study was made of sorted semi-conducting single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films and unsorted SWCNT films for gas sensing applications.
This comparison is based upon creep tests conducted on notched round bars made of PA6 semi-crystalline polymer to enhance a multiaxial stress state.
Audio recordings were made of the semi-structured interviews and focus groups, and then transcribed verbatim; these were not returned to participants.
