current gas prices. Why do the gas prices change from day to day? Today the average gas price has come down about 40 cents, since early April of this year. Drivers in the United States are expected to use about 133 Billion gallons of gasoline this year; the 40 cent price break is about %53 billion in yearly savings if it were to stay in place for a full year. Then there is an increase in gas prices there is a tax on consumers. However, a decrease in gas prices is a tax cut. Lower gas…

Introduction to Oil and Gas The oil and gas industry is huge and comprises of complex processes that involve risk in order to bring about a monetary stability worldwide. Thus the oil and gas industry is critical which influences the world economy directly bringing about an increase in its price making it costlier. There is a huge demand for oil and gas by many large industries for commercial purpose such as working of equipment to the production of different commodities. Hence the countries…

Chicago’s first gas company was introduced in 1849 by a group of citizens (Encyclopedia of Chicago). The company was named Chicago Gas Light & Coke Company from 1849-1855. The same group discovered that gas could not only be used to light up the streets with natural gas lamps, but could also be used inside the home for cooking purposes. In 1855 the gas company was renamed Peoples Gas Light & Coke Co. which started delivering gas to its Chicago customers. During this time companies were able to…

the night of the second of December the Bhopal plant emitted 42 tonnes of methyl isocyanate gas exposing to more than 500,000 people and killing around 5,000 people. The clean-up of this disaster was insufficient and people are still being affected by the leakage. Methyl isocyanate gas also known as MIC is a clear liquid used to make pesticides, when exposed to the gas it brings the same effects as tear gas. Some of the effects that people went through were swelling and burning of the eyes,…

The WWI gas mask emerged out of desperation as a result of the use of chemical weapons in the war of attrition that was World War I. The gas mask was not only a lifesaving invention, but it is symbolic of the fear that the threat of chemical warfare had on society. The gas mask was developed directly to combat the morally questionable act of using chemical weapons on the battlefield alongside with the intention of saving soldiers and civilians from dying in a gruesome and ‘inhumane way’ (Slotten…

spine. Most live on land and they typically give birth to live young. Description of gas exchange: In mammals gas exchange takes place in the lungs. Mammals inhale oxygen though their mouth as part of ventilation and exhales carbon dioxide. The air travels down the trachea before it branches off into the two bronchi. Branching off the bronchi are the bronchioles that transport the air to the alveoli where gas exchange takes place. The alveoli are air sacs. The diaphragm also plays a key…

The gas chamber was a shower room and the barracks were so filled there was a little of everything going around. It all started on January 30, 1933, that Hitler was starting this tragedy that will make its mark in history….. Any mother that had a small child beside her both went to the gas chamber. If a child was not or did not look 16 went to the gas chamber. If you were sick, you went to the gas chamber. If, you're very old you went to the gas chamber! At times, a young pregnant woman would…

Mustard gas is a devastating chemical weapon that was used during World War I, and exposure left horrendous effects causing extreme suffering and the death of thousands. Mustard gas was introduced by the Germans in 1917, and was created by Franz Ferdinand, a chemical genius. This gas was hazardous because exposure was mostly over a long period of time, and since there was no known defense against it-it left damages that were beyond repair and long lasting. With this newly revolutionized…

In order to fully understand the significant fluctuations in the resource and product market of natural gas, we must first know what a resource market and product market is and its effect on natural gas production. My understanding of a product market is where the goods and services produced by businesses are sold to consumers and resource market consist of the labor and resources that goes into producing these things are marketed. The utility firm in essence is the relationship of the product…

The following paragraphs contain a narration of my Clinical Chemistry section experience. Let’s start with a brief description of the methods and principles of the tests I performed in the section and their clinical significance. The arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis measures the pH, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood from an artery. It checks the efficiency of the lungs to move oxygen into the blood and remove carbon dioxide from the blood. For the test, we use RAPIDPoint® 400…
