[Baffling Beer Glasses](
Typical beer mugs have thick walls and a thick bottom. This design serves two purposes. First, it makes the mug heavier, so the drinker assumes the beer is “good.” The second reason is to give the impression that the mug holds more beer than it actually does. Why is this so? Why would the volume appear greater than it is?

TECH ARTICLE
[]
[Worried About Cleanroom Costs?](
“As cleanrooms grow in size and sophistication, energy demands go up significantly. Even worse, 24/7/365 operation puts substantial particulate loads on filters, increasing maintenance costs and possibly causing unpredictable — and expensive — cleanroom maintenance shutdowns. To dodge these expenses, facility managers would do well to consider one or more add-on features when they specify a modular cleanroom.” [Read this article in its entirety](.
