mouth to form acid. That acid immediately goes to work on the enamel coating of your teeth, causing it…

Solar systems use photovoltaic (PV) cells to convert sunlight into electricity. The top layer of the cell is glass which is used to prevent damage from weather. Beneath the glass is an anti-reflective coating, this coating is used to maximise light absorption. Under the coating are a positive charged (p-type) and a negative charged (n-type) semiconductor layer (Mogan, 2016). When the n-type layer absorbs enough photons from the sun it causes electrons to come loose from the n-type layer…

will peel. In addition to the bumps, there might also be what is called “strawberry tongue.” Strawberry tongue is when there is a white coating on the tongue, and it turns red. In relation with the tongue swelling and turning red, there will also be symptoms of a sore throat and swollen glands. The tonsils, similar to the tongue, will have a white coating that may appear red. Another sign of scarlet fever is a fever. It is said that the fever will be “above 101 degrees Fahrenheit, or 38.3…

Electricity is wrenching through your veins and suddenly your eyes are closed bruises glowing against the paper thin eyelids and your fluorescent teeth are flashing and your hair is wild, wisping from your head curls of smoke ashen against the murky sky and there is a treacherous feeling rushing up your spine.

Soft drinks are the most significant factor in severity of dental erosion, which is when the clear coating of the tooth is worn away. Dental erosion happens because of acids that are included in foods or drinks. The enamel gets softer and loses minerals that can be beneficial to protecting teeth when eating or drinking (consuming) acidic foods like oranges, strawberries, and soda. Food with a pH level that is lower than 5.5 is harmful to the teeth and can cause dental erosion. (On the pH scale,…

became so successful and loved by millions. Milton Hershey’s company went through numerous changes to become what it is today. “Our company originated with candy-manufacturer Milton Hershey’s decision in 1894 to produce sweet chocolate as a coating for his caramels”(“It all started with a decision”). This was the start of Hershey’s candy making. His business was made to give…

There are biological and environmental effects that Bisphenol A causes or may cause and the first evidence of the estrogenicity of bisphenol A came from experiments on rats conducted in the 1930s, but it was not until 1997 that adverse effects of low-dose exposure on laboratory animals were first reported. Bisphenol A is an endocrine disruptor that can mimic estrogen and has been shown to cause negative health effects in animal studies. To be specific, bisphenol A closely mimics the structure…

The use of the steel frame structure in residential buildings has grown in the recent years due to the appreciation of the performance benefits, such as speed of construction, lightness of the material, safety, fire resistance, environmental benefits, such as reusability. The residential steel frame buildings, e.g. student accommodations, have benefits prior to other materials in terms of construction. Steel can be highly prefabricated, has spans of 5-7m (urban residential projects), with…

Mechanism Atherogenesis is the developmental process of athermanous plaques. It is characterized by a remodeling of arteries leading to sub endothelial accumulation of fatty substances called plaques. The buildup of an athermanous plaque is a slow process, developed over a period of several years through a complex series of cellular events occurring within the arterial wall and in response to a variety of local vascular circulating factors. One recent hypothesis , leukocyte, such as momocyte or…
