Disasters include a variety of elements, and the extent of time a disaster occurs can range from an hourly disturbance to days or even years of ongoing recovery. Disasters are most commonly classified as either a natural or technological hazard and can impact a relatively small community or even have worldwide effects. In April of 1986, Ukraine experienced one of the world’s largest technological disasters that has since proved to be an ongoing effort to reduce hazards associated with the…
They focus not on SLS itself, but its potential and the principle of funding (Foust). Ted Cruz, the chair of the Senate subcommittee on Space, suggests, “Almost any American would agree that the core function of NASA is to explore space”. However, he says this in the context of reducing the funding of climate science. The Senator has made it clear that he does not accept human induced climate change. However, the money given to NASA to study earth’s…
Discussion To understand the functional diversity, composition, structure and dynamics of rhizospheric diazotrophs communities under sugarcane-legume intercropping, we carried out this study to examine the effect of different cultivation systems on the stability of the soil properties and rhizospheric diazotrophs. Previous studies have investigated that soil microbial diversity, soil enzyme activities and crop yield could be affected by land management practices and all these soil properties…

To give insight into the reefs that exist around the world, I will explain to you the complexity of the tank that exists in my living room and the process I have had to go in order to get the tank where it is today. The first step in starting a tank is to use the most pure water that is obtainable called reverse osmosis water that is nearly 100% pure. This is normal tap water that is filtered through fiber cartridge filters, activated carbon, reverse osmosis membrane and then is ran through two…
There are only a few stores and a stop light. As I rode into town on my bike, I stopped at Dollar General, just to dig in the dump to find something eat because I hadn't eaten anything since 12pm the day before. All I found was a half drunken Mountain Dew. I could feel my stomach eating and tearing at my back bone from hunger. Then I gave up I couldn’t seem to find anything to…

Contemporary science fiction is more willing to challenge the limits of possibilities and more eager to push the boundaries of human imagination. More importantly, science fiction often acts as a precursor to scientific thought, and forebodes new research; projects such as Google Glass can be traced to similar ideas presented much earlier in…
