In luge, many tracks lack start houses. Athletes are left in the cold wearing paper-thin suits, under which are only t-shirts and tight fitting shorts. When we get cold, we get stiff. This results in a struggle to drive our sleds properly, leading to a higher chance of crashing. Frustrat-ingly, we’re unable to wear anything thicker underneath our suits because anything too thick will lead to us being far less aerodynamic, and, in consequence, making us slower. To solve this dilemma, I came up…
For badly polluted H2O, such as raw sewage, there are very obvious signs that the water is polluted. There is a foul odor and dirty or cloudy appearance. There may be oils, solids, or even foam floating on the H2O. It may smell rotten or like industrial chemical. There can even be dead fishing floating on a lake's surface indicating that there is clearly something wrong with the water. However, when it comes to your drinking water, the pollutants are not going to be as obvious. To find out…
Lake Winnipeg is measured to be about 24514 square kilometres, located in Manitoba Canada and its southern tip is about 55kilometres north of the city of Winnipeg. It is the largest lake within the borders of the southern Canada, Lake Winnipeg is also the sixth-largest fresh water lake in Canada. Lake Winnipeg consists of two distinct basins, the north basin which makes up approximately 75% o f the lake surface area and reaches 100 kilometres wide, while the south basin is up to 46 kilometres…
2. Experimental 2.1. Materials and reagents Analytical grade bentazon was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, chloroform and acetic acid were purchased from Merck and were analytical or HPLC grade. Methacrylic acid (MAA) as the functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as the cross-linker and α,α′-Azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN) were purchased from Merck (Hohenbrunn, Germany). MAA was distilled under vacuum to remove the inhibitor prior to polymerization.…
The river is flowing downwards, we see this due to the elevations on the map-the highest being 140 Elev. WT and the lowest 100 Elev. WT with this information it indicates that is going downward signifying that the river is also going downwards, also it has been contaminated according to the chart given to me, the wells that have been corrupted are D, E, H, I, and M in which all have higher than zero mg/L. Contamination started in Comhead Coal Mine and that’s an issue because it has high…
In the flame test lab, metal ions are heated on wooden splint in the form of a liquid that were previously soaked in a solution of metals. These electrons get heated at the same temperature, however the energy that is needed to excite each electron in the different metals is not the same. This means that the energy levels that change are now unstable and need to cool down, and as soon as they are moved into the heat source through kinetic energy, a photon of light energy is created and this…
within a large scale environmental crisis. Carbon emissions began to slowly rise throughout the years as deforestation continued, one of our main oxygen creators were being harvested and mostly wasted. Trees are able to create oxygen by absorbing the carbon dioxide within the atmosphere and using photosynthesis to allow plants to create food and oxygen to sustain life. Countries such as China whose known for the thick black smog that clouds their cities and…
At pine lake, it is a lot of fun. Its loud, slippery, and smells like fish and dirty water. The water there is not dirty and is kinda clean for a normal pond. For this paragraph I am going to be focusing on smell. Now, the smell isn’t the best, but it doesn’t smell horrible. When you’re running around, swimming, and having lots of fun, the smell kinda goes away. But, when you first pull up, you can smell the smell of fish and water. It doesn’t smell like the ocean, but kinda does. Comparing to…
up. This will shape your overall experience. What does it mean to 'let it breath?' The science behind using a red wine decanter lies in the need for it to breath. Breathing just relates to the necessity of wine to come in contact with oxygen. The oxygen allows the alcohol in the wine to dissipate…
Knowing how to care for beta fish involves a lot more than just changing the water once a week and feeding the fish twice a day. No, there is indeed a lot more to knowing how to care for our little marine friends than that. Of course, if you really wanted to, you could just get by on just the bare minimum needed to keep the fish alive, such as keeping it in a simple fish bowl and going through the motions to feed and clean up after your fish. But if you want to extend your beta fish's…
