Problem Statement: How do different amounts of soil affect the pH of water? Is the relationship the same for different types of soils? Background: PH is a measurement of how many ions of hydrogen are found in a solution. The pH scale measures how alkaline or acidic an object is. The scale has numbers ranging from zero (which are considered the most acidic) to fourteen (the most alkaline, otherwise known as the most basic). Pure water has a pH of seven, however most water, either from the tap or…

A range of concentrations (1nM to 30μM) of acetylcholine (Ach) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) was administered to organ bath containing rat ileum. Ach and 5-HT induced contractions from 3nM (Fig. 1) and 10nM (Fig. 2) onwards respectively, both generating a shallow slope at the beginning of the concentration-response curve. EC50 of Ach is 7.47 x 10-7M whereas EC50 of 5-HT is 7.97 x 10-7M. The contraction generated by Ach and 5-HT was expressed in % Emax. As shown in Fig. 1 and 2, % Emax…

Air power influenced each member of the Allies and Axis powers uniquely through the context in which they viewed the effects of air power in World War I (WWI), the development of theories and technology in the interwar years, and the geopolitical situation facing the nations at the outset of World War II (WWII). These situations and experiences created a perception of the capabilities of air power that drove the creation and employment of the nations’ air arm. In turn, each belligerents’…

That ultimate fulfillment of their prophecies and predictions can be summarized in their vision of airpower use. To win the war, one must first; conquer the air; use airpower as offensive weapon; gain air superiority to provide support to the ground forces; fight in the air, and deny enemy to fly; and destroy enemy support in order to break their capability and will to fight. From all those interwar airpower theorists and prophets, few of them distinguished from…

the United States through the use of an aerial bombing. Within the four raids that the allies carried out, 3,900 tons of highly explosive bombs and incendiaries were dropped on the city by heavy bombers of the United States Army Air Forces and the British Royal Air Force. Dresden, Germany was the country’s seventh-largest city and the largest of the remaining un-bombed built areas. Since the bombing, there has been much debate over whether the bombing was a war crime. A war crime is defined as…

“Molly: An American Girl on the Homefront,” taught me that during the 1940s was a time when every ounce of any kind of resource was preserved for the armed forces, families with soldiers away being afraid to open the door every time there was a ring, and when people lost their husbands, brothers, or sons, the community rallied together to try and ease the pain even with something as small as a casserole. A…

Air superiority during war is a make or break capability. To own the air not only with the use of a strong Air Force, but to rule it with a defensive posture. The anti-air capabilities of England during World War II set an example for what air defense can do and how effective it can be. The Battle of Britain was an air war that was conducted mostly over the skies of Britain and above the English Channel. The German Air Force, also known as the Luftwaffe, was conducting deep air raids into…

In the summer of 1940, the German Air Force, The Luftwaffe had decided to attack the Royal Air force. The Germans Luftwaffe had about 2500 air crafts where as the Royal Air Force had 1200 air crafts. The Royal Air Force did not have many pilots or experienced ground crews. The British didn’t have enough equipment, during that rough period of time Canada had provided the equipment…

However, despite what some would consider major problems like mistrust between senior leaders and an inability to integrate the air component operationally, the allied command achieved pre-determined objectives. While the Axis Force was provided a small victory in their successful withdrawal of troops and equipment, it was mitigated by the Allied gains in training and battle experience. The cautious and conservative approach by…
