Cosmic dust Information The Earth-falling dust particles are collected in the Earth's atmosphere using plate collectors under the wings of stratospheric-flying NASA airplanes and collected from surface deposits on the large Earth ice-masses (Antartica and Greenland and Arctic) and in deep-sea sediments. Dust detectors in the past flew on the HEOS-2, Helios, Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Giotto, and Galileo space missions, on the Earth-orbiting LDEF, Eureca, and Gorid satellites, and some scientists have utilized the Voyager 1,2 spacecraft as giant Langmuir probes to directly sample the cosmic dust. A dust particle interacts with electromagnetic radiation in a way that depends on its cross section, the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation, and on the nature of the grain: its refractive index, size, etc. The radiation process for an individual grain is called its emissivity, dependent on the grain's efficiency factor. www.bookrags.com /wiki/Cosmic_dust   (1868 words)

How Dust Hurts Your Fiero   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Dust falls into every category of the Mohs scale of hardness, from the powder we put on our body after bathing to the dust of diamonds, used to cut concrete during road repair, or the polishing of precious stones. Dust particles removed from archeological sites in different parts of the world have found bacteria and fungi that have lay dormant for millions of years, only to be brought back into existence because of scientific study. Dust accelerates the process of rust in areas of the Fiero believed to be protected and sealed from water. www.fierofocus.com /articles/art-dust.html   (1424 words)

Dust, Dust Mask, Dust Collector, Collectors at FilterWiz.com. Dust collectors are used in many processes to either recover valuable granular solid or powder from process streams or to remove granular solid pollutants from exhaust gases prior to venting to the atmosphere. Dust collectors may be of single unit construction, or a collection of devices used to separate particulate matter from the process air. Dust collectors can be configured into one of five common types, ambient units, collection booths, downdraft tables, source collector or portable units, and stationary units. www.filterwiz.com /dust-collector.html   (918 words)

The Magic of Dust The dust causes -2 to AC and -1 to hit for the duration of the spell unless the save is made, in which case it only lasts 1 round, or if the creature takes one round to scratch without doing anything else. Ironically the mage was said to have died by the spell known as Dust of the Ancient Tomes that was laid upon the rival mage's spellbook. fter the spell is cast a cloud of dust swirls in the area of effect reducing sight to a mere 1' range, causing 1 point of damage per level of the caster and causing a penalty of -1 to all rolls. www.mimir.net /dust/magic.shtml   (1302 words)

House Dust Dust Mites House dust is a mixture of potentially allergenic materials: fibers, feathers, bacteria, mold spores, human dander, parts of plants and insects, pet hair and danders.

NASA GISS: Science Briefs: Desert Dust, Dust Storms and Climate   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Dust storms occur most frequently over deserts and regions of dry soil, where particles of dirt are loosely bound to the surface. Approximately half of the dust in today's atmosphere may be the result of changes to the environment caused by human activity, including agriculture, overgrazing, and the cutting down of forests. The cooling due to dust may partially obscure the warming that is attributed to increasing greenhouse gases, such as CO In a future study, we hope to isolate the temperature change resulting from anthropogenic dust aerosols, so that the greenhouse temperature signal can be detected with greater confidence. www.giss.nasa.gov /research/briefs/miller_01   (1167 words)

Dust Collectors: Etchmaster Store A high volume dust collector is necessary in blasting cabinets and blast rooms to remove the dust created during the blasting process, providing much better visibility and minimizing your personal exposure to the dust. Dust collectors are far superior to vacuum systems in size of dust particles removed, volume of air processed, and life span of the motor. In selecting a dust collector, important factors to consider are how many air changes per minute does it provide in the cabinet, the average length of time you will be blasting at one time, and how intensive will your blasting be. www.etchmaster.com /Merchant2/merchant.mvc?page=ES/CTGY/EQ_DC   (394 words)

Mars Dust Removal Technology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Dust is expected to adhere to the array by Van der Waals adhesive forces. As the dust settles, there will be microscopic wind motions, and if the array is tilted, the "bias" effect due to gravity may mean that the dust will move down the array, and thus not effectively stick. Finally, for the case where the effect of a single dust event (or a small number of dust events) must be mitigated, it would be possible to use a simple transparent cover over the array, which could be removed and discarded after the dust event. powerweb.lerc.nasa.gov /pvsee/publications/mars/removal.html   (2625 words)

DUST The composition of the dust observed on the shelves appears to vary, depending on the height of the shelf. The dust I observed was composed of numerous particles and textile fibers.

Dust Begets Dust Dust and other particles in the air cause water droplets in clouds to be smaller, leading to decreased rain. In desert regions, dust storms can often kick up clouds of dust that blanket thousands of square miles of land, dramatically illustrated by the record-setting dust cloud that blew from Asia to North America last month.

57 Ways - 44. Control Dust, Dust Mites, And Other Allergens The most common culprits in household dust are dust mites, mold, mildew, fungi, algae, roaches and other insects, pollen, and animal dander. Mites thrive in dust and high humidity and live primarily in mattresses, carpets, and upholstered furniture. Since dust mites grow mainly in mattresses and bedding, avoid exposure and reduce their potential for trouble by washing all bedding and clothing brought to the bedroom every week to 10 days in the hot cycle of your washer. www.thisland.uiuc.edu /57ways/57ways_44.html   (687 words)
