The insulation in a low-slope roof may consist of board insulation or non-board insulation. Which non-board insulation is most commonly used in low-slope roofs and why? What are its limitations?

The non-board insulation commonly used is insulating concrete or foamed concrete. Because of its high-slump,
i.e., watery mix, it can be sloped to drains as it begins to harden. Its limitations are that it can only be used on a steel
deck, not on a concrete deck.

Companies have attempted to isolate a bacterial protein-degrading enzyme from soil that could survive a complete cycle in a clothes washer. The companies had to learn how to grow these organisms under conditions that simulated a washing machine full of water and detergent. Why? Scientists reasoned that if the organisms could survive and grow under these conditions then the enzymes inside them could survive these conditions. List all of the conditions that this enzyme would have to be able to survive to work in a washing machine. Design a procedure for how this organism might be isolated.
