Australians are an active bunch who love their sports, and in a 2012 survey over 65% of Australians aged 15 years or more indicated they had participated in a sport or physical exercise at least once in the previous 12 months. With summer days rapidly approaching, sports gear of all types are being dusted off in readiness. However, while you are out enjoying your sports, there are two simple hydration habits that are doing permanent damage to your teeth. Be aware of your dental habits this…

On a more preferable note, Earth has had moderate atmosphere primarily, hence warm enough for abundant liquid water and large enough gravity to shun losing it. However, the Faint–Young Sun Paradox [02] indicates that our sun has been 25-30% dimmer during the stellar evolution period than its luminosity or intensity today. This refutes Earth having a moderate atmosphere earlier as a dimmer sun would have frozen its surface. But the evidence show that Earth has not been frozen since 4 billion…

The human body has three energy systems within it which enable us to move for everyday use, as well as for any other type of movement we need to do. Depending on the type of movement the body does, one of the three energy systems is individually selected to best suite the movement for the particular situation. Different types of exercise training would of course require a a different type of energy system, dependent upon what type of exercising is occurring. Although, no matter what type of…

Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are beams of energy in the form of gamma rays that are beamed out of the poles of a collapsing star, these are formed from very intense explosions in distant galaxies. GRBs are the brightest known electromagnetic events in the universe. They can last just a few milliseconds, or hours. The burst is often followed by an afterglow, which is emitted at longer wavelengths. We have been able to learn a lot of what we know about GRBs from afterglow. We can measure how far away…

heat. Absolute Zero will occur when every atomic and molecular movement ceases and is at the lowest temperature possible. Absolute Zero on the scale is 0 degrees Kelvin, -237.15 degrees Celsius, or at -460 degrees Fahrenheit. All objects emit thermal energy or heat unless they have a temperature of Absolute Zero (Measuring Temperature, n.d.) Heat is the quality of being hot, Heat is occasionally known as a process…

Jackson Reynolds had not always been a bad man, but after some considerable personal effort he most certainly had become one. Jackson was an imposing figure standing six feet two inches tall, topped with coal black straight rather slightly too long hair. His skin seemed perpetually tan and gave him somewhat of a Mediterranean look with his ice blue eyes. The kind of eyes that you couldn’t help but stare into, but the kind of eyes that sent a chill up your spine if you looked too long. This…

Temperatures have a great effect on microorganisms. In the most general sense, bacteria can grow at any temperature between freezing point of water (32°C) and the point where proteins coagulate. Between these two high and low temperatures, each bacteria type has an optimum growth temperature. An optimal growth temperature is the point at which an organism grows best, with optimal cell metabolism. If temperatures creep past the maximum, bacteria are killed. If the temperature drops below the…

To create a structured story, Silpperjack used the weather to portray the time of day relevant to the story. To begin with, in Coal Oil, Crayons and Schoolbooks Silpperjack expresses the weather at the beginning of the day to have the following characteristics, “…cold, damp air.. white mist all around me.” (Slipperjack 27). When one awakes in the morning, the air does feel denser and colder. Slipperjack illustrates the weather in such to generate a morning feel because it is the beginning of…

the energy content of food and chemicals. A substance inside of the Bomb Calorimetry goes through a combustion reactions which take place inside of a closed stainless-steel container surrounded by water. In this experiment, benzoic acid and Tollhouse chocolate chips will release energy through a combustion reaction inside of the stainless-steel container. The combustion reaction that occurs will cause the water surrounding the system to increase. To determine the combustion reaction’s energy…

A drive or motivator is a force or reason that compels one to do something. Thus, for a motivator to be effective there must be a cause and effect chain reaction that will impact the decision taken. Being a nurse, I always have to be on my feet and help anyone who enters the hospital, as their lives rest on us. A main motivator that impacts my performance at work is the willingness to have empathy and compassion towards the patients in a way with the goal of restoring or improving their health…
