them. This separated out the components within them- making it easy to measure their percentage value. I found the regular margarine to be made up of 14.5% solids, 64.2% oils, and 21.3% water. Next, I used the same method as before, and found the percentage of each component of the light margarine to consist of .8% solids, 42.9% oils, and 56.3% water. After that, I found the percent error of my calculated amount of each part of both margarine types. I determined my percent deviation for the…

The National Gallery of Art on Friday, March 30th. I viewed so many stunning works of art, but out of the pieces I had the chance to see that day. The three that caught my eye were Antoine Watteau’s Ceres (Summer) oil on canvas, c. 1717/ 1718, Jean Honoré Fragonard’s Diana and Endymion oil on canvas, c. 1753/1756, and finally François Boucher’s The Bath of Venus, 1751.

around a disk containing the substance, but grew around all the other parts of the agar plate, the substance on the disk likely caused the bacteria to die. In the case of cinnamon, one reason it may have stopped bacterial growth is due to cinnamon bark oil and the bioactive phytochemicals cinnamaldehyde and eugenol, which significantly decrease biofilm formation of E. coli bacteria (Kim et al.) As shown in Figure 1, this effect of cinnamon is supported by a 4 mm zone of inhibition around the…

As an Environmental Studies student I have come to realize everything has an impact on the way this world works and many of those impacts are causes of human-environment interactions. Before reading this book, I had a basic concept about energy and the main complexities that came with it. As humans we have created a web of relationships that form our complex society and allows us to function efficiently, however, it is that connected that strains global energy needs. The smallest of changes…

example, the Nigerian government’s oil savings account has depleted from a favorable amount of $21 billion in 2008, down to $2 billion in 2015 (Wallace & Mbachu, 2015). However, despite these changes and a subsequent 1% increase…

gone forever and this process was only gradual. I’m currently taking an Economics class. One day my professor wanted to discuss about the incredibly low gas price. He said that the supply is high because of a new technique it has been used to take the oils out of the mantle rocks called “fracking”. As an economist, he could not quite tell if the benefits overcomes the environmental costs of the new technique. Since my father worked his entire life at Petrobras, Brazilian’s biggest petroleum…

Efforts have been diverted towards embracing more renewable energy sources to combat impacts on the environment. The United States depends heavily on oil, natural gas, and coal for its energy. Fossil fuels draw finite resources that eventually dwindle (non-renewable),…
