Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD) is an organochlorine insecticide that is slightly irritating to the skin. [1] DDD is a metabolite of DDT. [2] DDD is colorless and crystalline; [3] it is closely related chemically and is similar in properties to DDT, but it is considered to be less toxic to animals than DDT. [4]
DDE has been shown to be toxic to rats at 79.6 mg/kg. [4] DDE and its parent, DDT, are reproductive toxicants for certain birds species, and major reasons for the decline of the bald eagle, [5] brown pelican [6] peregrine falcon, and osprey. [7]
DDD, the SPARS code for a CD that was recorded, mixed, and mastered digitally; Domain-driven design, a methodology and set of priorities for programming; Developer! Developer! Developer!, a series of community conferences for software developers; 3D Systems (DDD), a company that makes devices for stereolithography or 3D printing
The American Concrete Institute (ACI, formerly National Association of Cement Users or NACU) is a non-profit technical society and standards developing organization. ACI was founded in January 1905 during a convention in Indianapolis. [1] [2] The Institute's headquarters are currently located in Farmington Hills, Michigan, USA. ACI's mission is ...
The tension failure loads predicted by the CCD method fits experimental results over a wide range of embedment depth (e.g. 100 – 600 mm). [2] Anchor load bearing capacity provided by ACI 349 does not consider size effect, thus an underestimated value for the load-carrying capacity is obtained for large embedment depths.
A clear distinction is made between the ultimate state (US) and the ultimate limit state (ULS). The Ultimate State is a physical situation that involves either excessive deformations leading and approaching collapse of the component under consideration or the structure as a whole, as relevant, or deformations exceeding pre-agreed values.
2,3-Dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (or DDQ) is the chemical reagent with formula C 6 Cl 2 (CN) 2 O 2. This oxidant is useful for the dehydrogenation of alcohols, [3] phenols, [4] and steroid ketones. [5] DDQ decomposes in water, but is stable in aqueous mineral acid. [6]
Reactive powder concrete, also known as ultra-high-performance concrete, can be even stronger, with strengths of up to 800 MPa (116,000 PSI). [4] These are made by eliminating large aggregate completely, carefully controlling the size of the fine aggregates to ensure the best possible packing, and incorporating steel fibers (sometimes produced ...
