Carr, Colorado
Carr is an unincorporated community and U.S. Post Office in Weld County, Colorado, United States. The ZIP Code of the Carr Post Office is 80612. Some consider Carr a ghost town.

Carr's
Carr's is a British biscuit and cracker manufacturer, currently owned by Pladis Global through its subsidiary United Biscuits. The company was founded in 1831 by Jonathan Dodgson Carr and is marketed in the United States by Kellogg's. History In 1831, Carr formed a small bakery and biscuit factory in the English city of Carlisle in Cumberland; he received a royal warrant in 1841. Within 15 years of being founded, it had become Britain's largest baking business. Carr's business was both a mill and a bakery, an early example of vertical integration, and produced bread by night and biscuits by day. The biscuits were loosely based on dry biscuits used on long voyages by sailors. They could be kept crisp and fresh in tins, and despite their fragility could easily be transported to other parts of the country by canal and railway. Jonathan Carr protested against the Corn Laws, which placed steep tariffs on imported wheat to keep the price of British wheat artificially high. This ...

Carr Index
The Carr index (also: Carr's index or Carr's Compressibility IndexPodczeck, Fridun & Brian E. Jones, eds. 2007. ''Pharmaceutical Capsules''111.) is an indicator of the compressibility of a powder. It is named after the scientist Ralph J. Carr, Jr. The Carr index is calculated by the formula C=100\frac, where \rho_B is the freely settled bulk density of the powder, and \rho_T is the tapped bulk density of the powder after "tapping down". It can also be expressed as C=100(1-\rho_B/\rho_T). The Carr index is frequently used in pharmaceutics as an indication of the compressiblity of a powder. In a free-flowing powder, the bulk density and tapped density would be close in value, therefore, the Carr index would be small. On the other hand, in a poor-flowing powder where there are greater interparticle interactions, the difference between the bulk and tapped density observed would be greater, therefore, the Carr index would be larger. A Carr index greater than 25 is considered to be an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
