Alternative energy

with the environment (Akin, 2011; Kemp & Krockenberger, 2002;). In Biomimicry, through studying thermoregulation, human beings can apply nature’s techniques to architecture when designing buildings. Present temperature systems are using a lot of energy, especially to control heat and cooling loads. (Carpi 2010). Thermoregulatory mechanisms include passive thermoregulation and active thermoregulation; by studying butterflies and birds more effective climate systems can be developed, leaving a…

Work itself is gift that should be embraced by all. Civilization, one of the human race's’ greatest achievements would not be possible without work. Most of the population of Earth have at least one major problem in their lives, and work in general of any and all kinds can provide a stable environment, build character, and be a “rock” in someone's life. Many people think of work as something they have to do, but when work is no longer an option they miss it, loose their senses of accomplishment,…

Is it possible for a star to burn cold? The answer is not as simple as you may think; while all sars burn hot, there are some cold enough to touch (if you survive the vacuum of space). In 2011, NASA’s satellite WISE discovered six Y-Dwarf stars burning as cold as ice, not even forty light years away from our own sun. This type of star is often referred to as a Brown Dwarf, or a failed star. There are three types of Brown Dwarfs; L-Dwarf, T-Dwarf, and Y-Dwarf, the Y-Dwarf being the coldest.…

Identify two components of fitness for which you were strongest (indicate the component of fitness, the related fitness test and your score for each test). For each of the two fitness tests you mentioned, what was one physical sign that you were pushing yourself? (i.e. my triceps burned during the push-ups test) The two components of fitness that was my strongest fitness component were Power and Flexibility. During the fitness test my fitness component for Power, I scored a total of 1.27 cm in…

Hard work consists of a great deal of effort. Having a good work ethic means that you are better prepared and this will in result lead you to success. A bad work ethic will most of time lead to failure, but some people still seem to come out on top. A hard work ethic is needed in order to achieve a goal. A good work ethic will require you to put in a great deal of time and effort into something that may be painful or boring at the current time, but it will all pay off in the end. A bad work…

During high endurance training the body will eventually undergo dehydration and will result in the performance of the athlete to decline. Dehydration occurs when the amount of fluid loss exceeds the amount of fluid intake. For athletes, dehydration leaves them at a weaken state; therefore, their performance would decline as they are weakened. When an athlete believes he is dehydrated he may go and drink some fluids, however what he may not realize is that he may make “a mismatch between fluid…

I will never be able to forget the smell of rubble and debris. Yes, even waste fragments and broken bricks have a distinct smell that still makes my nose itch. As I looked at the damage around me, I began to wonder how such a beautiful day turned into a horrific nightmare. My day started at 9 o’clock in the morning. I woke up to the sound of cars honking and people yelling in the crowded and busy streets below my apartment in Surat, India. Reluctantly, I forced myself to get out of bed and go…

significant within our modern society (History of Nuclear Energy). Nuclear fusion led to the findings of nuclear energy used today to power our electricity. The state with the most amount of nuclear energy used is within the Mississippi and the large production of nuclear energy within Mississippi is very harmful towards the surroundings and the ecosystem around because it is a popular energy source that is a direct effect due more demand for energy, more nuclear waste, and a higher risk of…

An experiment was performed to analyze the effects of heat shock in yeast called Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to assess the hypothesis that yeast extracts up-regulate gene expression during heat shock the same way bacteria cells up-regulate gene expression during heat shock. In bacteria cells, heat shock causes the bacteria to up-regulate gene expression and produce more proteins. Similarly, gene expression and protein production increases in yeast during heat shock. Therefore, the experiment was…

connected to the bottom of the water bottle. With balloons on the four tin lids for traction to have the wheels move smoothly. A skewer stick poking out of the front of the water bottle to hold the rubber band at a certain degree so it can release more energy into the car. With the propeller strapped to the back of the water bottle with duct tape and a skewer stick to keep the propeller in place. The skewer stick that is connected to the propeller goes down the middle of the water bottle and is…
