Boron

County and did great things for the crops. One year unfortunately, the farmers got a shock. The turnips stopped performing well and they had later discovered that after years of growing the same crop on the same land, the land had become deficient in boron. The farmers at Bantry Bay now plant a wide array of vegetables on the farm that continue to thrive on this land. Bantry Bay uses better crop rotation methods now to avoid this problem. They also use a variety of techniques such as minimal…

Coal power is currently a major source for producing Australia’s electricity needs. This was stated by (Origin Energy, 2015), that recorded 73% of electricity is generated through coal power stations. With the current issues of global warming it is expected that Australia looks at alternative sources for the growing electricity needs. However, with current economic issues, coal is the cheapest energy source option. In order to move from coal fired power stations it is suggested, renewable…

History of the periodic table of elements The periodic table of elements is an organized table of all chemical elements identified and recognized. Most forms of the table commonly include information such as each element’s atomic number, chemical properties, and electron configuration. Prior to the periodic table, the elements were arranged in groups of three called triads. These triads were created by Johann Dobereiner, a German chemist, in 1829. Dobereiner arranged these elements in groups of…

the city of Chernobyl in Ukraine had serious mistakes and dur-ing a reactor systems test on April 26, 1986 the fourth reactor exploded. The root cause of this event was a sudden power burst. First responders rushed to the site and poured sand and boron on the reactor. The…

other leafy greens. Dandelion greens contain a large number of nutrients, including vitamins A, C, E, several of the B vitamins, zinc, lecithin, magnesium and iron. They also contain especially high amounts of potassium. The calcium, silicon and boron found in dandelion greens help to protect against osteoporosis. Dandelion greens are slightly bitter, and stimulate bile production, thus aiding digestion. The leaves of the dandelion possess strong diuretic properties; they are useful to relieve…

What is hydroponics? As the name says it all, hydroponics is the process of growing plants in water with or without soil. N.F.T is a very important technique for hydroponics. N.F.T is expanded as Nutrient fertilization technique. It is a way of growing plants using water flowing through a specifically designed channel. This water is quite different from the normal water we use. This water contains many nutrients required for the plant to grow, such as calcium potassium and sodium. Thus it…

In recent years, defect engineering has emerged as an effective strategy to tune various properties of 2D materials such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride and silicene [19-21]. Like other 2D materials, intrinsic structural defects including point defects, grain boundaries, dislocations and edges can be realized in MoS2 either during the growth process [22, 23] or intentionally introduced through…

Abstract Anagen effluvium occurs due to an agent or event that drastically reduces the metabolic activity of the matrix cells of the hair follicle. At any given time more than 80% of scalp hair are in the anagen phase of the hair cycle. Hence the resulting hair loss is abrupt and extensive. In majority of the cases, it occurs in association with cancer chemotherapy and radiation, other causes being rare. Here we report a case of a middle aged female suffering from an Atopic dermatitis who was…

Censorship Books teach us about life, morals, and the values we need to have to live a good life. Censors have been trying to ban books since 387 BC. Books are typically banned for use of inappropriate language and content. Many libraries and schools have banned this book from being placed in the libraries and for students to read this book. Many people had felt that Catcher in the Rye was “dangerous” because it had violence, sexual content, and vulgarity. A lot of books have good life lessons…

QXT2- Task 6 “No man is an island no man stands alone”, no entity on Earth can survive without interacting with abiotic factors. Organisms strive daily for survival. Their survival is predicated on receiving enough energy and nutrients to carry out metabolism and maintain homeostasis. Survival of a species is determined by the fitness of an organism within its environment and how successful it is at passing its genes on to its progeny. When examining the interactions that must be carried out…
