Kaicheng Tan Dr Erika Harnett ESS 102 20 January 2017 In the year 2030, astronaut Brian and his crew start a mission heading to Mars to become the first man on it. Their main goals are to see what things are there in the eye, bring back some samples of the land, and search for the possibility of life in depth. It only takes them a few days to reach the Mars using the Electro Magnetic Drive enabled spacecraft. Unfortunately, right after they land on Mars, an unpredicted extreme solar wind and…

All fruits are beneficial. ``An apple a day keeps the doctor away`` is a popular saying that was adapted to an original proverb found in the February 1866 "Notes and Queries" publication; "Eat an apple on going to bed, and you'll keep the doctor from earning his bread." This adage was widely spread to most nations. Nearly 150 years later, its power to make people love apples is still quoted. So, then, the proverb would not be as popular as of today if it does not really have value at all. The…

Additionally, the lab studies have proven that oregano oil possesses potent antibacterial properties. Furthermore, medicinal oregano abounds in minerals, like potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, and boron, so that it is even more beneficial. According to the studies, oregano oil is completely safe for human use and can be taken along with antibiotics in order to fight infection. Plus, the oil is a powerful preventive measure against a cold or flu.…

In today’s time, our world’s knowledge of agriculture has decreased in the last hundred years, but even more in agricultural activity. In 1860, seventy-five percent of the United States was involved somehow in agricultural production, now that percentage is less and two percent. As our nation continues to increase in population so does the need for agricultural products and land. With land being used more for settlement and buildings than for farming, being able to provide enough food for our…

of the final bamboo structure is 100m2, which at a cost of approximately US$140/m2 is roughly half the price of an equivalent local timber building. For the construction, all bamboo was treated using a Modified Boucherie System, which impregnated boron compound into the bamboo as a prophylactic against pests. Modified Boucherie System offers a fairly simple but effective preservation…

FeTiP or Fe(Ti+Nb)P precipitates were observed in each sample, while much more incidence was that of the precipitates with niobium as without it. Precipitates without niobium FeTiP were observed only in 5 samples, in a ratio of 8:1,the Fe(Ti+Nb)P being the one with greater values. Oval shapes of Fe(Ti+Nb)P were observed after recrystallization annealing at the grain bounadries and also inside the grain itself. At the grain boundary in the sample with a lower coiling temperature of 565 °C was…

An Australian member of parliament (MP) has gone to extremes to prove his point: He set a Queensland river -- the Condamine River -- on fire. http://www.care2.com/causes/why-are-we-moving-rhinos-to-australia.html Did he go mad?

Chapter 3 Process description and modeling 3.1 Process Description of Propylene Glycol Production Process The physical properties of propylene glycol are colourless and clear syrupy liquid when exists at room temperature. Besides than in liquid form, it also may exists in vapor form in air. In order to produce a colourless and odourless chemical, propylene glycol (C3H8O2, PG) involve in the reaction of propylene oxide and water. This involve the process of the hydrolysis of propylene oxide…

Scientists that i truly admire I have two scientists who I admire Thomas Alva Edison and Humphry Davy. Thomas Alva Edison is one of the best investors; Thomas Alva Edison was conceived in 1847 out of a residential community in Ohio. His instructors thought he was a moderate student, so his mom showed him herself, moving his enthusiasm for science. In 1869, subsequent to moving to New York, he enhanced a machine called the 'ticker'. It was utilized for handing-off data about the share trading…

Silicon carbide has been recognised as an important structural ceramic material because of its unique combination of properties. It is a promising ceramic material that can replace conventional metals and ionic-bonded oxide ceramics such as alumina. Structure of Silicon carbide Silicon carbide is a compound of silicon, a metalloid, and carbon, a nonmetal, and has a giant molecular lattice structure. It has a similar structure with diamond. Each carbon atom is joined tetrahedrally to four…
