Boreal, Coniferous, and Deciduous Forests Boreal, deciduous, and coniferous forests each possess distinctive traits and soil characteristics. Forests soils give important contributions in nitrogen and phosphorus transformations. These transformations are dependable on the weather conditions of the forest and the type of vegetation it contains. Soil mineralogy and organic matter also play an important role in the nitrogen and phosphorus transformations on the forest floor. Boreal forests are…

Fig. (3-23) Extrapolate Resonance frequency (fo) map of Nile Delta Area Fig (3-24) is extrapolate contour map for Associated Amplification of ground motion (Ao) of Nile Delta Area , from this map we notice the following : A - The value of (Ao) in the Central, Eastern and Northern part of Nile Delta is the same in most points and varied from 4 to 5. B - The value of (Ao) in the North Western part of Nile Delta and Alexandria is the same in most points and varied from 5 to 7 and…

of shipbreaking on biodiversity: Coastal soil and sea water environment are mainly contaminated through the discharge of ammonia, burned oil spillage, floatable grease balls, metal rust (iron) and various other disposable refuse materials together with high turbidity of sea water. Furthermore, oil spilling may cause serious damage by reduction of light intensity, inhibiting the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the air-sea water interface, and by acute toxicity. As a result the…

The Gaia Foundation argues that ‘’contamination of water and ecosystems, disruption of rocks land stability, environment and food production will continue to affect the local people for many of years if the reclamation is not properly done’’ (Gaia Foundation, 2014, p.36). Once the reclamation accomplished, the land is then handle over to the government and the necessary agencies. 2.3 Mining and Health Health is one of the fundamental aspects for the development and survival of all human races…

The ocean circulation can be defined like the global movement of water, which occurs in the ocean basins. These movement of water are the ocean currents, which plays an important role in the climate since store and distribute heat, microorganisms like nutrients and freshwater all over the world. Therefore, any change that modifies the ocean circulation will alter drastically the global climate. In this section it will be broadly explained the factors, which determine the ocean circulation and a…

A small contact angle (below 30°) shows a hydrophilic surface (Seyedi, Koocheki, Mohebbi, & Zahedi, 2014). The contact angle between water drop and films surface was analyzed (Table 2). For all films studied, the only reliable result of contact angle obtained was for chitosan films, on which the drop remained stable (θ=78°). Influences on contact angle values with SE incorporation was…

B. Private organizations such as Cleanup OC reports that this year alone they have collected about 4,600 pounds of trash from Huntington and San Clemente Beach. II. I encourage each and every one of you to plan a beach day, enjoy the sun and the water, but also clean up the beaches while you’re there. Conclusion The summer months are upon us. Many of you will hit the beach and do some much needed studying. While you’re there pick up some trash. It’s an easy way to help the beach and ocean…

1.3. AMORPHOUS STATE The amorphous state of solids is composed of molecules that have a disordered arrangement, which do not constitute to the characteristic of the crystal grid and, therefore, have zero crystallinity. The distribution of molecules in the solid amorphous form is not entirely random as it is specific to a gaseous state because it has a certain degree of order between neighboring molecules. Due to the lack of regulation and the absence of a crystal grid, compared to the crystal…

Pouring perspiration swimming down my neck, like the rain in a typical Seattle night. Singular weighted drips of hard work, crashing down on the light-teal cushioning floor mats. Proudly smearing it away cleanly with my already soaked t-shirt tucked in my gi. I glance at my belt through the parallel image of my ego embedded in the studio mirrors. I grace my fingers across my velvety rigid 2nd degree sable colored black belt. My left hand strokes the left side, feeling the light gold korean…

aqueous mixture. The raffinate phase contains most of water and traces of HAc, and solvent, whereas the extract phase includes most of the solvent, HAc, and traces of water. The amount and composition of the mixed solvent significantly important for the process economy because it directly affects the composition of HAc in the extract phase. A good solvent should have a high distribution coefficient for the HAc and a high selectivity between HAc and water. Further, the solvent must be easy to…
