Algal bloom

Introduction Eutrophication is a condition in an aquatic ecosystem where high nutrient concentrations stimulate blooms of algae (e.g., phytoplankton). Eutrophication is a natural process that occurs to all lakes over time as the weathering of rocks and soils from the surrounding area that leads to an accumulation of nutrients in the water. It can also be caused by run-offs of fertilisers. Three of the key components of modern fertilisers are nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. After a rainy…

and Phosphorus are together the eutrophication will occur. This was shown in jars 2 and 4. One could argue that herbicides are worse in water than fertilizer. As stated in another study when herbicides get into water it does not always cause algae blooms but the algae that does grow there is a new strand and is referred to as “super algae”, algae that has adapted and will be harder to kill. The study referred to them as mutants. The study says “Rare, pre-selective mutations may allow the…

Toxicity Testing and Determining the LC50 Introduction This report discusses an experiment of Toxicity test done in Richland lab to determine the LC50, a test that is used to find out what concentration of a substance in this case household chemicals that will kill 5o percent of the population of the brine shrimps, with the exposure household chemicals such as , Ammonia, Bleach, and Vinegar, and the morality with each solutions. I and my group splitte the Brine shrimps into 4 containers,…

neurotoxin has been found in many new shellfish. Phytoplankton produces a natural acid called Domoic acids which in small doses it's harmless. However, when it is produced in excess it becomes poisonous to people. "The shellfish that eat these algae blooms don't seem to be affected by the toxin," said Morgaine McKibben, a Ph.D. student at the University of Oregon. But when other animals eat the shellfish they are affected in a very negative way. When it is ingested, it can…

left that icy prison I’d no idea where north and south were but I did have two very strong convictions. One was that good novels must be a poetic transposition of reality, and the other was that mankind’s immediate future lay in socialism” (qtd. in Bloom 11). This is the essence of Gárcia Márquez. A man of hard principles and passionate imagination, he was born on March 6, 1928 in Aracataca, Columbia. His childhood years were marked by his relationships with his grandparents and his exposure to…

actions and decisions should be considered when reading. The importance of individuality and the necessary process of strengthening oneself, even the benefit of a degree of selfishness, are themes that appear throughout How to Read and Why by Harold Bloom and “I Stepped from Plank to Plank” by Emily Dickinson. Harold Bloom’s thesis is that how and what one reads has to be distinctly personalized to themselves; because of our constant race against the clock, reading needs to be for the individual…

Perennialism Perennialism is a psychology whose main basics is to in simulate western civilization fundamentals as present day teaching mechanisms. As an idea, perennialism’s objective is to create a system of unchanging information (Educational Philosophies Definition and Comparison Chart pg. 1). Education is based on the essential understanding of recurring to the past and to reason and faith. Mostly neo-Thomism has been most apparent in perennialism, but idealism and realism have also been…

The gradual transformation in data quantity has resulted in emergence of the Big data and immense datasets that need to be stored. Traditional relational databases are facing many difficulties meeting the requirements of the volume and heterogeneity structure of big data. NoSQL databases are designed with a novel data management system that can handle and process huge volumes of data. NOSQL systems provide horizontal scalability by supporting horizontal data partitioning across heterogeneous…
