Bloom filter

factor that affected the results obtained was that we used a folded paper instead of fluted filter paper. A fluted filter paper is preferred over a folded filter paper because it has more surface area and also helps the filtration to take place faster. Since we did not use the fluted filter paper during the filtration some solvent evaporated resulting in premature crystallization and the solute stayed on the filter paper along with the impurities, making the percent recovered lower. The melting…

Unfortunately, it is simply beyond the scope of this paper to analyze the entirety of these two productions of A Doll’s House. As a result, three scenes will be compared, contrasted, and analyzed through Butler’s theory in order to examine these gender performances. The three scenes chosen for this endeavor are as follows: Nora’s discussion with Torvald in the very beginning of Act I, Nora practicing the tarantella dance before the party in Act II, and Nora and Torvald’s final confrontation in…

shows the importance of being a successful leader in the world. In William Blake’s poems “The Lamb” and “The Tyger", his selfless character is evident through his life, career, and poetry. William Blake uses his life to help inspire others. Harold Bloom gives a detailed description of William Blake’s desire to be a leader: Visionary and irascible, Blake was very much a man of the eighteenth-century. He strongly reacted against many of its hallmarks and he profoundly responded to it in…

Complex issues such as health problems, environmental issues, or environmental health problems, such as air and water pollution, hazard wastes sites, lead poisoning and species instability are all liked together and are fixed in communities in which they occur. These kinds of complex problems that occur in communities are said to be “wicked problems” where different stakeholders cannot find scientific solutions in order to fix these complex issues. These problems are seen throughout the world,…

Shakespeare’s Timelessness One of the questions most frequently posed, even these days, is: What makes an author, a creator timeless? As much as skill and dedication play an important role in gaining recognition, these are not the only characteristics necessary to determine whether that certain writer has carved his/her name in the rough stone of immortality, whether he will remembered after centuries. For instance, during Shakespeare’s time, there were other playwrights too, extremely talented…

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…

In his 1987 book, The Closing of the American Mind, Allan Bloom makes the case for what he describes as higher education failing democracy through an emphasis on historicism and relativism. This academic emphasis, for Bloom, creates a paradoxical restrictive freedom in the minds and hearts of students, leaving them without a moral compass, and creating a void that can easily be filled with demagoguery. Along the way, Bloom staunchly defends elitism and ethnocentrism, attacks feminism, and lays…

Background/ Introduction An algal bloom is an increase and accumulation of algae in freshwater or salt water systems. Most algae blooms are caused by blue-green algae. Blue-green algae is actually not algae at all, it is a cyanobacteria. A bloom can lead to a green, blue-greenish or reddish discoloration of the water, and if the algae bloom lasts long enough streaks or scums may appear on the water surface. (UBA. 2016) One harmful element of algae blooms is that they…

often leads to toxic algal blooms. These algal blooms are quickly fueled by the massive concentration of phosphorous as it is a required nutrient for their growth and as they grow to colossal sizes they have a dual negative effect on the water they inhabit. The first effect is drastically lowering the amount of oxygen within the water supply, which eventually kills all of the fish that inhabit it and the second is that many species of algae that form in these blooms also secrete toxins into the…

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…
