"Actually this program allows you design trusses. Trusses are
composed of straight members connected at their ends by hinged
connections to form a stable configuration. When loads are applied
to a truss only at the joints, forces are transmitted only in
the direction of each of its members. That is, the members experience
tension or compression forces, but not bending forces. Trusses
have a high strength to weight ratio and consequently are used
in many structures, from bridges, to roof supports, to space
stations."

Hydroponics information
"Hydro-what? Your questions will be answered in this section,
which features a beginner's tutorial and a glossary of terms.
You can even put your new knowledge to work and build your own
system using one of our easy system plans! Perfect for beginners!"
http://www.hydrostacker.com
"Hydroponics is defined as the science of growing plants without
the use of soil, but by use of an inert medium, such as gravel,
sand, peat, vermiculite, pumice or sawdust, to which is added
a nutrient solution containing all the essential elements needed
by the plant for its normal growth and development. Since many
hydroponics methods employ some type of medium, it is often
termed "soilless culture," while water culture alone would be
true hydroponics."

"Defined simply, hydroponic gardening is the method of growing
plants in a nutrient enriched water solution without the benefit
of soil. Since plant food and water are delivered directly to
the roots of the plant, energy normally used by the plant to
find these elements through root growth is redirected into upward
green growth and fruit production. When properly maintained,
hydroponically fed plants grow and produce faster than their
soil grown counterparts. In addition, since root systems do
not compete for the food supply, more plants can be grown in
a smaller space."
http://www.antarctichydroponics.com/
"Hydroponics in Antarctica is as unique as the continent itself.
The extreme environmental conditions found here make the process
of growing food a formidable challenge. Four months of solid
daylight, four months of total darkness, and unpredictable winds
and temperature changes present a unique growing situation.
One cannot simply build a glasshouse, set up a system, and expect
tasty produce to grow! However, in Antarctica, successful harvests
are achieved on a daily basis."

Welcome to my Floriculture Page! At present, the only files
available on this page, located under Hydroponics & General

http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/scripts/htmlgen.exe?DOCUMENT_VH030
"Growing plants without soil is often called hydroponics. The
name implies that the plants are grown in water containing dissolved
nutrients. However, pure water culture is only one of the many
methods employed. All of the other methods might simply be grouped
as "soilless" culture, which would include sand culture,
gravel culture, and culture utilizing other soil substitutes
such as sawdust, wood shavings and vermiculite."

"Microirrigazione Ecorain designs and realizes aeroponic systems.
As in hydroponic systems the plants are not soil-cultivated
but are placed nots."

"The Pipe Dream is an Aeroponic System, strategically designed
to achieve extreme growing. The scientifically formulated tier
system enhances the growing room area. In aeroponics we want
oxygen and lots of it. For each grow tube, the misters and pump
create an excellent oxygen to water ratio."

"Simple Machines: These devices were all in common use for centuries
before Leonardo's time. Each one makes work easier to do by
providing some trade-off between the force applied and the distance
over which the force is applied."

are simple tools used to make work easier. Compound machines

"About 65 percent of America's aluminum is being recycled, yet,
more than one million tons of aluminum containers and packaging
(soda cans, TV dinner trays, aluminum foil) are thrown away
each year." "Although aluminum is less than one percent of the
nation's municipal solid waste stream, it remains one of the
most valuable recyclable materials. Used aluminum beverage cans
remain the most recycled item in the U.S., but other types of
aluminum, such as siding, gutters, storm window frames and lawn
furniture, can also be recycled. Aluminum has a high market
value and continues to provide an economic incentive to recycle."

"Syringe Robot - A robot is a machine that can be programmed
to perform a task. The word robot comes from the word robot
in the Czechoslovakian language, which means slave-like work
or forced work. Today, robots are primarily used in industry.
Typically, robots are used to perform tasks that are dull, dirty,
and/or dangerous. Robots increase production capability, improve
product quality, and lower production costs. It is likely that
very soon there will be almost totally unmanned factories. Perhaps
just one or two people will program or monitor the computers
and carry out routine maintenance to robots and other machines."

American people have provided. Don't forget, however, during
these difficult times, the many thousands of nonprofit organizations
that help people year in and year out. Many are being placed
in financial jeopardy with so much of the giving going only
to the recent tragedy's victims. These other nonprofit organizations
also need your support, if they are to survive and continue
