Decomposition

the four gospels, and many believe that it is the Shroud in which Jesus was wrapped after his crucifixion. The history of the Shroud is uncertain because it did not seem to surface until the 6th century, but because there is no evidence of body decomposition in the Shroud, it has been the object of research for archaeologists, historians, scientists, and theologians for centuries. Four points of contention are pollen found on the Shroud, scientific information, Biblical evidence, and the…

Everyone has heard of the impending doom of global warming. Over the last decade, most people have verbally expressed that it was a myth. Now, with the extreme transmutations in our climate, people are finally opening their eyes. The elevating temperatures and extreme weather patterns, pose the question, how could this have transpired? Well, let me tell you. Global warming is defined in Merriam-Webster’s dictionary as: the elevation in the earth’s atmospheric and marine temperatures…

Bacteriology, study of bacteria, dispelled the blindness of the animal diseases. Although, it was long known that animal products such as meat and milk could causes illness, it only pertained to the process of decomposition not the actual animal itself. Bacteriology discovered the specific agents that connected animal and humans diseases. This took a while to uncover because contaminated animal food was stealthily brought into consumption. Sick animals were treated…

ponder where all this trash goes, so it is no surprise that the earth is slowing turning into a huge trash can. Landfill waste poses a huge problem not only economically and environmentally but also because it takes up a lot of land due to its low decomposition rate. Reduce, reuse, and recycle are the most common methods used to reduce waste and should be implemented in every home and the waste that is left should be converted to clean energy through a landfill gas program. While most people…

On February 6 of 2018, at 11:00 a.m. in room 1043 of Thomas Cole Research building, Sade Rhodes spoke about the characterization of lignin-coated cellulose nanocrystals (C-CNCs) as a reinforcing agent in polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites. The logistics of the seminar that was most enjoyable was when the speaker focused on the matter of Nanocelluloses. She provided a lot of information on this topic and I understand how it related to her topics in her research. However, the only part that I did…

Modern art was born ugly. "It was Matisse who took the first step into the undiscovered land of the ugly," an American critic wrote, describing the 1910 Salon des Indépendents in Paris. "The drawing was crude past all belief, the colour was as atrocious as the subject. Had a new era of art begun?" Even Henri Matisse himself was sometimes shocked by his creations. According to his biographer Hilary Spurling, "His own paintings filled him with perturbation. At some point in 1901 or 1902 he slashed…

Determining the Chemical Formula of a Hydrate PROCEDURE Experiment required: copper (II) sulfate hydrate, 2 crucibles, electronic mass balance, bunsen burner, iron ring, crucible tong, clay triangle, wire gauze, retort stand, 1. Individuals should wear goggles on and tied hair back before the experiment started. 2. The mass of an empty crucible cover was measured. 3. Approximately 2.00g of copper (II) sulfate hydrate samples was taken out and put into the crucible. 4. The mass of the crucible…

What to do with a Corpse: An Analyses of Cultural Funerary Practices and Their Applications in Amazonian, Borneo and Western Societies It is a universal constant that all people die. However, the question of what to do with the body of the deceased is less directly answered. Funerary rituals are shaped by culture, and this “death culture” varies greatly in terms of practice, significance, and meaning, to those who exercise them. This idea of unique variation can be prominently seen in the death…

The digestive system is the source of food decomposition, energy as well as feces are created in the process. The urinary system is responsible for eliminating liquid waste from the body, water and electrolyte balance as well as the acid-base balance in the blood. The nervous system and the muscular…

‘Candle’ is taken from candere, which means to shine in latin. An approximation of candle retail sales is about $2 billion annually. The united States economy is growing much slower than the candle industry. Women are much more likely to buy candles, 96% to be exact. It is also proven that most people that use candles burn them for about three hours at a time. Candles have a lot of history, can be made of different waxes, and burn because of combustion. In 3,000 B.C., the Egyptians had…
