The Nobbys lighthouse designed by Alexander Dawson was first lit in 1858 because of the prominent position at the entrance of the port and the crucial use of navigation. Nobbys light is also the third lighthouse constructed in NSW after the Macquarie light in 1818 and in the same year with the Hornby lighthouse. Before the establishment of the present lighthouse (1854), the first beacon was lit on this area (Signal Hill) in 1804 with a range of merely 7 kilometres. Later in 1821, an oil burning…
clutch survivor rate. Methods Experimental Design To better control the experiment, we will use nests that need to be relocated because of hazards to the original nest site selection of the sea turtle, such as too close to the shoreline or in an area traveled too frequently by humans. The eggs will be dug up and relocated to Lovers Key State Park. They will be dispersed evenly on the beach to help control differences in outside variables such as temperature. Fig 1.…
this brave new world! Even if there was a way to escape the digital realm, the outdoors are still affected by it, and the many sedentary activities we engage in, such as binge watching, don’t change this epidemic. Even with the influence of natural lighting in future technologic innovations, would it really make a difference? The concept of artificial light made to emulate natural light sounds ludicrous, and adds another failure to the human race. Would people still want to go outside, walk…
Albert Einstein said, “No object can travel faster than the speed of light.” However, will the temperature change the brightness of light? The researcher will perform the test three different times. Each test will take one glow stick from the freezer, one from the refrigerator, one in boiling water, and one from the counter and break the glow stick to make it glow. The researcher will then time the length of time it takes for the glow stick to turn off. At the conclusion of the experiment, the…
quality of the electrical lighting plays a role in learning and on concentration. Light is essential for humans to function, is essential for mood and cognition, essential for vision, can evoke emotions, and regulates bodily processes such as alertness and sleepiness. Having large windows that allow for an abundance of natural light is the best, but using quality artificial lighting can also work for when natural light is not possible or there is too much glare. In addition, lighting can also be…
The Musical Instrument Museum, Phoenix Public Library, and the Phoenix Art Museum have key characteristics that represent the landscape as well as their functionality.

The Instrument museum was designed by Rich Varda, an award-winning architect. The construction began on February 2008 and the museum opened its doors in April 2010. The Phoenix…
fuel source was burned which created a flame, thus emitting light. The earliest fuel sources were wood and oil. Efficiency was maximized from those fuel sources and eventually deemed no longer a viable for providing enough light. Fire, heat, poor lighting, and messy wax were among just a few…

torches, gas lamps, and man made fires. People all around the country take having light whenever it is needed for granted. Before the lightbulb was invented by Thomas Edison, having a safe and reliable source of light was not heard of besides the sun. Lighting places up such as homes, buildings and towns was a very dangerous task due to the high risk of fires starting, having black residue left behind on anything near gas lamps and gaslights, and having the presence and smell of smoke very often…
