Scientists have spent decades in search for the causes of global warming. Over the years, they have learned that global warming is due to the earth’s surface temperature. The earth’s surface temperature increases because greenhouse gases collect in the atmosphere. Ultimately, creating a shell around the earth that thickens, keeping in the sun’s deadly heat, causing the planet to heat up. In fact, there is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today than at any point in the last 800,000 years.…

have evolved two iridophores (reflective pigments) with different morphologies, upper layer can actively tune the guanine nanocrystal spacing into triangular lattice to have a quick structural colour change and the deeper layer of cells reflect near-infrared range (NIR) of light (Teyssier, Saenko, & Milinkovitch, 2015). These two different layers enable chameleons to efficiently camouflage and dramatically change its…

In the 20th century, many artists, writers, and political commentators had interesting, imaginative, and specific visions of the future. One particular prediction that has wowed audiences for generations is the idea of a state of mass surveillance. In 1960, an artist by the name of Arthur Radebaugh drew a comic that was reflective of this theme. As it is aptly titled, the “All-Seeing Eye Police Department” depicts police officers at a futuristic precinct, as they monitor several screens…

The Under Armour brand has expanded from the roots of the company and just performance wear, to offering a variety of lines for men, women, and children.

Under Armour has contracts with male athletes like Tom Brady, Stephen Curry, Cam Newton, and Bryce Harper which focus their ads toward teenagers to young adult males. While also having contracts with female celebrities, such as Misty Copeland,…

Background This experiment was performed to determine the identity of an unknown organic liquid using physical constants: physical state, color, and odor, the solubility classification: water soluble or insoluble, the results of characterization tests: Lucas test, 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine test, Bromine in Methylene Chloride test, and Ferric hydroxamate test, and analyses of spectral data: IR spectrum and HNMR . All testing samples were added to testing tubes for observation. Data was…

In her lecture, Lauren Chubb talked about much at risk miners are in their work environment. These miners develop different respiratory diseases such as silicosis (a form of lung disease), coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (Black Lung), lung cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to name a few. They get these diseases from the coal, crystalline silica, metallic species, and different fibers in the air. They inhale these constantly then become infected. It has gotten so bad that…

capturing the motion of both hands within a virtual reality environment and has become commercially available during the past years. This inexpensive, marker less motion sensing system tracks forearm, wrist, and hand position.13 It consists of three Infrared Light emitters and two Charge-Coupled Device cameras placed inside a small casing.14 With a within accuracy of < 0.2 mm,14 the LMC is able to reliably detect static objects. Furthermore, it is small (80 mm x 30 mm x 11.25 mm),12…

Do You Actually Need Mold Inspection or Testing? One of the most horrible contaminants known is silent but hazardous growth of the mold. Mold can grow both indoors and outdoors on the damp surface or wet surface includes drywall, wood, material, insulation, carpets, ceiling tiles, wallpaper and much more. It can begin to grow with forty eight hours and if left unchecked, will have grave impacts on both your home physical structure and your life quality. If you are see signs of suspect or mold…

could possibly be Princess Isabella of Naples or da Vinci’s own mother. Another argument is that the subject wasn’t a female at all but Leonardo’s long time apprentice Salai dressed in women’s clothing. Photographs taken with invisible infrared light and a special infrared camera show things that we have missed before. For example, the “Mona Lisa” is famous for the sitter’s calm smile, but there has been suggestions that the image may not always be restful. Through the light, people seen one…

Venus Express: Payload, Mission Goals and Venusian Discoveries L. B. Breitenfeld Introduction: In November of 2002, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced that their first mission to the planet Venus, titled Venus Express, would launch in 2005 (Abbott and Schiermeier, 2002; Hoofs et al., 2009). The Russian Soyuz-Fregat launcher in Baikonur Kazakhstan on November 9th 2005, launched Venus Express into space (Fabrega et al. 2007). After traveling a distance of 440 million km, Venus Express…
