Winterkill of Iowa athletic fields is dependent on several factors. Abiotic and biotic stress conditions before and during the winter season can lead to turf death the following spring. This is particularly true of perennial ryegrass, tall fescue and annual bluegrass, which is very susceptible to winter stresses common to Iowa. Winterkill can be a result of poor freeze acclimation and direct low temperature kill, crown hydration, hypoxia (lack of oxygen), desiccation, or diseases like snow mold.…

In the position statement exertional heat illnesses created by the following authors Helen M. Kinkley, Joseph Beckett, Douglass J. Casa, Douglas M. Kleiner, and Paul E. Plummer they all went to different universities but combined ideas to make this position statement. The position statement was written because it’s to help prevent, help recognize and treat exertional heat illness. Since this position statement was created it has helped some athletes, athletic trainers, allied health care…

Comparing Your Options For Replacement Windows If you're looking into replacement windows for your home, you can choose from wood, aluminum, or vinyl. You'll want to consider the appearance of the frame and how well it insulates against heat loss. Here's a look at how these windows compare. Wood Frames Are Traditional If you have an older, historic home, then wood frames are probably the best type because they have a more traditional appearance. Wood is the original material for window frames…

chemicals is often hydrogen peroxide and the other active ingredient is a harmless chemical named phenyl oxalate ester. The chemical reaction between these two substances produces enough energy to make light, but it doesn't create enough energy to make heat or explosions. There also need to be dye in a glow stick. The glow stick gets color when the energy created by the chemical reaction gets the molecules of the dye moving. There are two internal capsules that separate the chemicals. One is…

Discussion: In sample, B there was 16% salt, which is unnaturally higher than the global average of 3.5%. When I asked about the reason of this, I found that the water was artificially created. This was also the case of Sample, A which had 9% of salt. That is about 3x the amount of salt from the global average. All though this is not an experiment with data, that we can apply to real life, it was still great fun to do the experiment and the lessons I learnt will stick with me for a long time.…

Quantity of heat Q = mcθ absorbed or lost by a substance 4. What does specific heat 900 J of heat needs to be supplied to 1 kg of aluminium 900 J kgof aluminium to produce a 1 °C -1 1 °C mean? temperature increase. 5. What does specific heat 4 200 J of heat needs to be supplied to 1 of water 4 200 J kg-1°C-1 kg of water to produce a 1 °C temperature mean? increase. 6. The physical When two objects of equal mass are heated at meaning of equal rates, the object with the smaller specific specific…

DIMENSION ALONG A SINGLE BAR Theory: Fourier’s Law of Heat Conduction: It states that, “Flow of heat per unit is proportional to the temperature difference per unit length.” i.e. Q ̇/A=-k(dT/dx) By re-writing above relation, Q=dT/(dx/kA) Where, dx/kA=Conductive Resistance of the material Properties of “K”: It is a material property and a function of temperature. It may be different in different orientations. Observation and Calculations: Sr. No. Heat Supplied (Watts) T1 (oC) T2 (oC) T3 (oC) T4…

Weather and season together are used as a metaphor to reflect characters’ inner feelings and set the tone of the crucial point in the development of the relationship between Gatsby and Daisy. The rain and sunshine when Gatsby and Daisy first meet after five years reflect Gatsby’s nervousness at first and set the emotional tone of the relationship between Gatsby and Daisy from embarrassment to comfort in chapter 5. As a very crucial point in the novel, the setting of Gatsby and Daisy’s first…

Thermodynamics highlights the stream of science attentive to heat and conversions to different forms of energy and work. Not only does the thermodynamic state define volume, temperate and pressure, it will contain heat sources giving a capacity, and change state. The idea of thermodynamics is for the system to adjust itself back into its original state of an equilibrium. Through expressing the laws of thermodynamics, it is apparent that heat energy is important in the world in order to achieve…

The binding factor in nearly all kinds of power plants is how the power is actually produced: something heats water, turning it into steam, which then turns a turbine that generates electricity. The differentiating factor in the differents forms of power plants is how that water is heated. Nuclear plants fancy splitting atoms, coal plants burn coal, and geothermal plants skip the middle man, let Earth do the heating, and simply reap the benefits. Below the surface of Earth is a layer of rock so…
