Energy conversion

process of the metabolism, but for those who are not, metabolism is the sum total of all the chemical reactions that occur in a living organism. Most people recognize it by how fast they burn off food to create energy. Some people have a fast metabolic rate, others have a much slower energy rate. Today, we are going to measure the metabolic rates of 6 different organisms and situations to test who has a higher metabolic rate than the other. We will test this by seeing how much carbon dioxide is…

Reflection paper There were many thing that I like and disliked from this class. One thing that I liked about the class was that we did not physically have to attend the class. That was nice because I got to sleep in a little more. That also left extra time for me to work and put in a couple more hours. What also came beneficial with this was that we got to do our work when we wanted to. This was nice because there would be days that I would be extremely busy and I wouldn 't have time to…

1. Overall I think our group together did a good job working as a team. Zachary did a great job as the manuscript reader because he was clear when reading and made good eye contact. Even though Billy was reading from his phones, he was probably the best in our team because of his enthusiasm. We did work independently and then came together when we performed. We used google drive to discuss the presentation and to help each other with our own position in the company. Everyone in our group put…

In Greek, this is an onomatopoetic word. This means it’s a word that imitates the sounds associated with the objects or actions it refers to (like the word buzz in English sounds like the sound a bee makes when he is flying around). The word zeloo imitates the sound of boiling water, and it literally means to bubble over because it’s so hot! In a positive sense, zeloo is to be zealous in the pursuit of good, to desire earnestly, to strive after, to pursue, to be eager to possess. In the…

data reveal a semiconductor behavior where the resistivity decreases with the increases of temperature. The decrease of the electrical resistivity with increase of temperature is resulted from the increase of the charge carriers that can overcome the energy barrier and participate in the electrical conduction where in metal complexes, the metal atoms act as charge carriers reservoir supply the complex with the free electrons and the metal ion can act as a bridge to facilitate the flow of…

Fig.7, shows that, the insulator behavior of the PVA for pure PVA. But, with increasing the time of reaction there is an improvement in the electrical conductivity of the PVA-Ag nanocomposite films. Fig.7 shows that, the (I–V) characteristic of the samples, and the inset of Fig. 7 shows the relation between the conductivity and time of reaction. Then, the dc conductivity was calculated at the (voltage = 10 V) using the relation. (S/cm) Where (d) is the sample thickness, (A) is the area of…

the unit used to measure the energy-producing value of food. Theoretically, calorie is characterizes as a unit of heat measurement, in nutrition and the kilocalorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1kg water through 1˚c. Another definition is that calorie is a unit of measurement that determines the amount of heat released in a food during metabolism. It states the energy value of a food calorie (cal) or kilocalories (kcal). The body needs energy to manage about 1000…

Two computation cases were introduced, one with a polyurethane graft and another with a silicon rubber graft. The computations were done under a pulsatile flow. Both cases were computed under maximum peak pressure as mentioned in the method section. The flow volume rate is expressed by integrating on surface as followed: Q=∬_A^ ▒v.dA (5) By integrating flow volume rate in time…

Cold Packs What are cold packs used for? 1. Cold packs are often used to treat painful injuries, such as a sprain or to ease swelling from minor injuries; cold packs come in many different variations some are made of gel that turn into icepacks when stored in cold, dry places, others are designed to freeze when pressure is applied to the gel pack where no freezing is required, the cold pack is used to slow down the blood flow to an injury so it doesn’t potentially get any worse. How the contents…

Team Experience Working with others has not been difficult for me. Two reasons I believe this occurs are I always challenge myself to do great work and I am also patient with other people. Unfortunately, these are two traits I suspect contributed to a challenging team experience, from which I was able to learn a lesson. I believe these are quality traits, essential for me to be able to do any good group work with other people. As such, I will need to continue to employ them, but in a…
