    My first research experience started when I participated in bone scaffold designing project at the Cooper Union in Spring 2012, under the supervision of professor David Wootton at Cooper Union Department of Mechanical Engineering. The purpose of this study was to design and manufacture bone scaffold for orthopedic trauma, especially for segmented bone fracture. I worked with a senior mechanical engineering student who had been conducting the research as his senior capstone project. The first task was to test manufacturing efficiency of two different types of polycaprolactone (PCL) with different average molecular weight. I concluded that the low molecular weight PCL is more convenient for mold-casting fabrication, due to low viscosity, while the high molecular weight PCL has an advantage of being mechanically stronger than the brittle…

    NT1410 Module 5 Exercise 1 Securing Desktop & Mobile Operating Systems Sierra Baltins Friday Whether or not a person uses a desktop or mobile operating system, there are forms of protection available. There are several operating systems that offer protection to the user, but some operating systems are more vulnerable than others. Mobile devices may automatically provide the user with different security systems than the desktop can offer. Either way, these security systems are designed to stop cyber-attacks.…

    By summer in 2050, the arctic sea ice could disappear completely, according to scientists like Dirk Notz. The average americans footprint shrinks the ice by a lot, the size of 16 queen-sized beds annually. With about 7 billion people contribution, we release around 36 billion metric tons of CO₂ per year. With another trillion tons of CO₂ released, the Arctic may be ice free for the first time in 125,000 years, and it may happen before 2050, Notz estimates. Julienne Strove and Notz have mad many studies on the…

    CLAIM: The Arctic region’s history does not make the front page of news articles or magazines very often. Therefore, many people are not aware of how this once glorious region has a devastating history, especially in the past century. To compare the Arctic’s history from its last, scientists measure the sea ice covering peak around the time of late-March, as well as the nadir in the ice coverage around mid-September. EVIDENCE: in 2018, the final recording of the Arctic ice coverage was “5.59 million square miles, about 23,200 square miles larger than the record low maximum reached on March 7, 2017” (Viñas). ANALYSIS: In relation, the declining trend of sea ice in the Arctic region is not a recent veer, but a trend which began over a century…

    Arctic Oscillation Weather Anomaly The Arctic Oscillation (AO) is a two-phase climate pattern circulating in the Artic region and the mid-latitude regions of Earth. This oscillation pattern is the second largest on Earth, with the El Niño/La Niña cycle being the largest. While these weather patterns are a normal part of the Earth’s climate system, scientists continually monitor fluctuations in the AO to determine its natural state versus the man-made impact through global warming.…

    NASA study shows Antarctica gaining ice in some regions Published research concludes that Antarctica ice melt is not contributing to rise in sea level A recent NASA study shows that global warming did not cause Antarctica ice melt loss over a nine year period between 1992 and 2001, during which the continent actually gained more than 110 billion tons of ice every year. The study, which appeared in the Journal of Glaciology, also reported that the amount slowed to 80 billion tons of ice a year between 2003 and 2008, but the gains have not been consistent around the continent. According to the study results, there was a loss in ice in the area of the Antarctic Peninsula, as well as in the West Antarctica in the area of the Thwaites and Pine…

    The changes vary across the Arctic; the largest decreases occur in maritime regions of the Arctic (Alaska, northern Scandinavia, and the Pacific coast region of Russia) [8]. Climate model projections indicate decreases in the duration of snow cover of 10 to 20% over most of the Arctic by 2050 and Scandinavia will experience the most loss (around 30 to 40%) [2]. 2.4 Temperature Average Arctic temperatures have increased at almost twice the global average rate in the past 100 years according to the IPCC. In 2010, air temperatures in the Arctic were 4° C warmer than the 1968-1996 reference period, according to NOAA.…

    Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean has been decreasing since at least the late 1970s. The atmospheric circulation of the Northern Hemisphere can respond strongly to changes in sea ice, leading to "changes in hemispheric wind patterns and the distribution of tropospheric temperatures and sea level pressures". This review analyzes several recent publications in order to summarize the known "physical processes that contribute to sea ice-atmosphere linkage", observational evidence that such linkage has led to ongoing climate change", and projections for future ice-forced changes in climate. On the basis of these studies, this paper also demonstrates the preliminary feasibility of using sea ice conditions as a climate prediction tool.…

    Antarctic is relatively disregarded, or announced misleadingly. The science, nonetheless, is clear: environmental change is as of now contrarily affecting Antarctica. The West Antarctic Landmass is one of the quickest warming regions on Earth, with just a few territories of the Cold Circle encountering quicker rising temperatures. In any case, since Antarctica is a major place, environmental change isn't having a uniform effect, with a few zones encountering increments in ocean ice degree.…

    Believe it or not, climate change is here, real, and affecting the world around us with irreversible consequences caused by humans. At this point, there is a monumental amount of data and scientific agreement on climate change, every single person should be scared of climate change and the effects it is having on the world. The current level of abhorrence at the very thought that humans are causing the climate to change, that the climate even is changing, and that this change is having detrimental effects to humans around the world, should not exist. The evidence and effects of climate change is all around us, and yet we refuse to do anything about it, some of us refuse to even acknowledge and believe it exists. However, whether we chose to…

    Climate change and pollution are serious global issues. Recently, cities such as New Delhi and Beijing have been plagued by unprecedented levels of smog, leading to riots and unrest. Greenhouse gases have greatly increased the temperature of our atmosphere and are upsetting the Earth’s fragile balance as an ecosystem. Consequently, in 2016, the arctic ice sheet was the smallest ever recorded, but most worryingly, according to NASA, the past 13 years have had the 13 smallest ice sheets on record (NASA, 2016 Arctic Sea Ice Wintertime Extent Hits Another Record Low). The National Ice and Snow Data Center claims that a loss of the entire Greenland ice sheet could result in a sea level increase of 20 feet, enough to flood many major metropolitan…

    Glacial Climate Change

    One of the most prominent effects of climate change is the melting of ice. Glaciers and ice sheets are slow-moving assemblages of ice that cover approximately 10% of the world’s land area. By impacting the temperature and precipitation of a precise area, climate change affects the mass balance of glaciers and ice sheets. If the temperature exceeds a specific degree, glaciers and ice sheets will lose mass. One of the finest-documented examples of glacial retreat has been based upon Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa.…

    Global warming is a rise in temperature in the troposphere that may lead to climate change. Global climate change is a much broader term that discusses changes in any part of the climate on Earth. These changes could occur in temperature, precipitation, or storm intensity. A change in global climate could be a warning or a cooling of the temperature. Often associated with global warming is the Greenhouse effect.…
