Description

Sterilization of Instruments in Solar OvensThe sterilization of instruments in rural health clinics in less developed countries is an increasing problem because chemical methods can no longer be recommended and wood fuel is becoming more and more scarce. Thus, it seemed obvious to try to utilize solar energy for sterilization purposes. A solar oven was designed and manufactured using local materials and simple tools. The solar oven was tested by physical, chemical, and microbiological methods.

The sterilization of instruments in rural health clinics in less developed countries is
an increasing problem because chemical methods can no longer be recommended and wood fuel
is becoming more and more scarce. Thus, it seemed obvious to try to utilize solar energy for
sterilization purposes. A solar oven was designed and manufactured using local materials and
simple tools. The solar oven was tested by physical, chemical, and microbiological methods. A
mathematical model for the sterilization effect was developed and programmed into a
microprocessor that was connected to a thermocouple. The microprocessor switches on a green light when the sterilization is completed. After successful testing, the oven was built into the west-facing wall of a rural health clinic and used daily for sterilization.

BCE? No, it is BC!
Format: Paperback
I love history; there is a lot in this book I did not know. It is definitely a challenge and a great way to learn. I took off one star (considered taking off two) because the author uses the non-Christian term of BCE. I HATE seeing that instead of what it really is BC - before Christ! I wonder if he is an atheist.

Trivia approach to history. Great for history buffs and trivia buffs alike
Format: Paperback
Got this as a surprise for my trivia and history loving bf. He loved it because it doesn’t only tell you about history. It quizzes the reader then explains the answers. Neat concept for a book for a man with limited time to read and loves to learn new facts.
