The Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) along with the aurora australis have always fascinated people, (Northeren Lights or Aurora Borealis Explained) “so much even that some people travel thousands of miles just to see them.” These lights occur when super charged electrons from the solar wind combine with the elements within the Earth’s atmosphere. The electrons will begin to move upward towards the earth’s atmosphere and on their way up they will encounter atoms of oxygen and nitrogen when they get to “20 to 200 miles of altitude.” (Northeren Lights or Aurora Borealis Explained)What is fascinating about the Aurora Borealis is that it’ll turn whichever color, depending on which atom is struck and at which point in altitude they meet. • Green – oxygen, up to 150 miles in altitude • Red – oxygen, above 150 miles in altitude • Blue – nitrogen, up to 60 miles in altitude • Purple/violet – nitrogen, above 60 miles in altitude The ways that the aurora borealis moves around or how people describe how it “dances” happens when all the magnetic and electrical forces react with each other in a “constant shifting combination that can reach all the way up to 20,000,000 amperes at 50,000 volts”. (How does the Aurora Borealis (Northen Lights) work?) If this happens around your area, the circuit breakers in your house will stop working as soon as the electrical currents and everything else passes “15-30 amperes at 120 volts.” Matter of a fact, there is supposed to be one going over the…
exactly how the energy is released and contained within the reactor. There are two main types of reactors being tested across the world today. One of the leading reactors types is called the Tomahawk, which is a doughnut like shape(Turchi). The Tomahawk was designed by Soviet physicists Andrei Sakharov and Igor Tamm in 1951 and uses large magnetic coils to compress and confine the plasma inside the reactor(Turchi). Many scientists consider the Tomahawk to be the most promising fusion reactor.…

INTRODUCTION There has been significant recent work on Vlasov-Maxwell (VM) equilibria that are consistent with nonlinear force-free1–8 and “nearly force-free”9 magnetic fields in Cartesian geometry. Therein, force-free refers to…
Long Island dermatologist Kavita Mariwalla is an expert at treating acne and all sorts of burns and rashes. “In early 2014 she was stumped by a case, a young girl came in with a potentially disfiguring case of bullous pemphigoid, a rare condition causing large watery blisters”. Kavita decided to use Artificial Intelligence in her case to gain data on the patient. The system, which has been growing largely around the nation, allows her access the collective knowledge gathered from about 3,700…
Sophomores--3 September, 2015 I-Search I-Search Plasma A couple of weeks ago, a YouTube channel called "TheGameTheorists" uploaded a video about how the people in Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z harness their Ki and shoot lasers with it. Ever since I watched that video I 've been interested in learning more about plasma. The video is mainly about how these people use plasma to their advantage. He talks about how schools never teach us about plasma, how it 's the fourth state of matter, and how…
The American Red Cross provides services and support within five critical areas: Biomedical Services that facilitate services to collect, process, and distribute blood products; Service to the Armed Forces that provides support to military service members and their families; Preparedness & Health & Safety Services that offers education and training on health and safety topics; Disaster Cycle Services that provides assistance to people affected during and after disasters; and International…
Women had a very big role in the Civil War. Nurses paved the way for nurses in the future, while saving lives. Women were not only nurses, but in the civil war, they were so much more. Clara Barton was a woman who worked as a Clerk in the U.S. Patent Office in Washington D.C. She later paved the way for women and nurses in the future. She briefly made the same amount of money as a man did. They pay did not last long. After she was a clerk, she got recruited to be a nurse in the Civil War. She…
Background Around 41,000 blood donations are needed everyday. 15.7 million blood donations are received in a year in the United States. With there being a constant demand for blood and less than ten percent of the population donating the blood supply can be sufficiently low considering what is needed. There are four types of donations possible, whole blood, platelets, plasma, and double red cells. Blood drives and donations are highly impacting and important to many people in various…
quickly aid the wound. For instance, sulfanilamide, can be sprinkled on an open wound and dressed with a bandage to prevent infection of open wounds. This process can be completed by not only medics but also soldiers as well. Sulfa powder was not the only medical improvement that came along with World War II there was many others as well. Atabrine, like sulfa powder was easily used by soldiers. It comes in pill form and fights malaria (Steinart). This was a prime example of how medicine and war…
