Energy policy

Choosing to build a steel kit home provides you with a wonderful investment. When you build with steel framed systems, you have better energy efficiency, superior strength, a non-combustible material and less maintenance required. That alone makes steel kit homes a preferred method in turning an old shed house into the ideal home. The great thing about doing this is that it does not cost as much as you might believe. For example, in many cases you can get a pre-built shell that costs less than…

The sun shone overhead as students streamed out of the Academy of Intellectual Development, eager to start a weekend free from the stresses of school. The shadow of the four story facility loomed over half the courtyard. Windows covered most of the building, with polished silver steel taking up the space between. Senna sat in the middle of the courtyard atop the stainless steel fountain resting in the center of the walkway. Senna sat on her white denim jacket separating her from the scalding…

Slaves to batteries and power outlets; we have entered the new America. Energy, power, electricity all impose the same idea for us in today's world. We are in an ever ending loop of searching for a source of power that is both efficient and clean. As a child, the thoughts of how electricity powers everything from a toaster to our own brain sparked my interest in electrical engineering. The thoughts of creating light from a potato is unfathomable. I have burnt myself countless of times trying to…

Comparing the 2Km rowing ergometer with the push up test- the 2km rowing ergometer test is more efficient than the push up test because with the 2km rowing test tests how long it takes the individual to finish a distance of 2km without their muscles giving up, whereas with the push ups depending on how long the person performing the test is how long the test it’s self lasts. The difference between the 2km rowing and the push ups is that the 2km rowing test is done under controlled conditions…

Radioiodine production Radioiodine is defined as a radioactive isotope of the chemical element Iodine. Although there are at least 37 different Iodine radioisotopes, only four of them are used as tracers or therapeutic agents in medicine; these are 123-I, 124-I, 125-I, and 131-I, with the latter being the most common in clinical practice. Essentially all industrial production of radioiodine isotopes involves four aforementioned radionuclides. History of radioiodine production and usage The…

My sunburn lines between my shorts and socks symbolized the restless, tiring hours spent out on the field. Every Tuesday and Thursday, for two and a half hours, the sun scorched my body while my legs would scrape into the ground. The cluster consisted of the seniors’ looming bodies that would go shoulder to shoulder against my own freshman self as our feet would battle for control. While this exhaustion enthralled and encouraged my game, the sprints, planks, runs, and more caused me to dread…

1. What is inclusive fitness?? Using Hamilton’s equation, describe the cost and benefits in relation to inclusive fitness of a behavior we learned about in class (from lecture, readings or student presentations). Inclusive fitness is fitness through producing offspring and providing aid that allows relatives to spread shared genes. Hamilton’s rule is rb – c > 0, where r is the relatedness of the altruist to the beneficiary, b is the reproductive benefit to the recipient, and c is the cost…

thermal energy. If a color absorbs lots of energy, It makes lots of thermal energy (Morton, J. L. "Color and Heat Absorption"). Scientists believe that darker colors absorb better, and lighter absorb worse (Morton, J. L. "Color and Heat Absorption"). When heat enters an object, visible or invisible, it warms it to produce thermal energy. This process is called “Heat Absorption” (Heat Absorption." KidsGeo.com. Web). If an object is exposed to heat for a long time, it will absorb more energy.…

Slave Short Story Today was one of the gloomy days. It was already hard enough to work out in the fields but in addition to that it was pouring down rain. I had just left the slave cabins and I was already drenched. My little brother, John and I trudged towards the plantation with our parents. We were only wearing rag-like clothes and walking barefoot to the fields. I had already stepped on more than a dozen rocks. “Ouch,” screeched John. He was having the same problem as me. Since he was only…
