The Standard Model explains why some particles decay into other particles. In nuclear decay, an atomic nucleus can split into smaller nuclei. This makes sense: a bunch of protons and neutrons divide into smaller bunches of protons and neutrons.But the decay of a fundamental particle cannot mean splitting into its constituents, because fundamental means it has no constituents.he Standard Model explains why some particles decay into other particles.

OSB stands for oriented strand board. OSB has the appearance of giant cornflakes pressed together to form structural panels in sizes similar to plywood, such as 4' x 8' x 5/8. OSB: Floor Covering vs. Subfloor. Floor covering (or finish floor) is the term for the topmost, eventual floor--the floor that you walk on and see. Laminate, luxury vinyl, and ceramic tile are examples of floor coverings. OSB is generally unsuited as a floor covering: Appearance: OSB is not attractive enough to serve as a floor covering.
Market Rap. Osb has earned its reputation as a low-cost substitute for plywood. In fact, recent price quotes from Denver, Boston and Atlanta put 7/16-inch osb $3.00 to as much as $5.00 per sheet lower than 1/2-inch cdx plywood.he weights of osb and plywood are similar: 7/16-inch osb and 1/2-inch plywood weigh in at 46 and 48 pounds. However, 3/4-inch Sturd-I-Floor plywood weighs 70 pounds, 10 pounds less than its osb counterpart.
