Glass-making

Through the looking glass: decision making and chemotherapy.

Implicit learning in dynamic decision making: A glass-box approach

Although simulations can be useful tools to train dynamic decision making (DDM) skills, studies show that mere practice with simulated environments leads to limited improvements in performance. Simulated environments often show little or no transparency about the underlying structure. Making information about the system and the consequences of decisions available to users has been found to enha...

Determination of the Nucleation and Crystallization Parameters for Making Nanoporous Titanium Phosphate Glass-ceramics

Nanoporous glass-ceramics were prepared with composition 45CaO-25TiO2-35P2O5 (mol%). Two molar percent of Na2O was added as a flux to the composition. With the aforementioned composition, glass melted and crystallized into glass-ceramics containing β-Ca3(PO4)2 and CaTi4(PO4)6 as the main phases. The differential thermal analysis (DTA) was conducted to determine the suitable temperatures f...

Making Low-Cost, High-Quality Glass Microlenses at Low Temperature Technology for Making Small, Complex Silica Micro-Optics

Casting Silica at Room Temperature Silica cannot be used with traditional molding techniques because of its very high melting temperature. In addition, conventional grinding and polishing processes limit how small and complex the silica micro-optics can be. Geltech overcame these problems by developing methods to cast net-shape (no grinding necessary) silica-glass micro-optics at room temperatu...
