While researching texts written about different types of water, the history of water purification, and the supercooling process, one could find different types of articles and videos that explained everything very thoroughly. All of the authors and websites had given a much better idea of the topic of supercooling. To fully understand the supercooling one must understand different types of waters. The purpose for this paper is to understand the water types, the history of water purification, and…
Chittenango Ovate Amber Snail. The Chittenango ovate amber snail was federally listed as endangered in 1978 (43 FR 28932 28935, July 3, 1978). Their range is restricted to one location, a 100 foot waterfall located at Chittenango State Park in Central New York. This species feeds on species grown within the waterfall spray, such as minute algae and microflora. Chittenango ovate amber snails live approximately two and a half years and mate from the months of April until June. They are…
INTRODUCTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION STUDIES Pollution is the process of making the environment dirty, unsafe, or unsuitable to use. Worldwide pollution affects more than 200 million people. The two countries responsible for creating almost half of the planet’s carbon dioxide emissions is China and the United States (“Gallucci and Horn”). However, Americans are 5% of the world’s population and use 25% of the world’s resources. American’s burn up nearly 25% of coal, 26% of oil, and 27% of…
We heated the beaker until the solution started boiling and we could no longer see any changes. Then we removed the stirring rod and washed off any particles into the beaker with a wash bottle. Once the mixture had cooled we poured out as much of the clear liquid as possible without losing the solid. We washed the solid by adding 100mL of distilled water and stirred the mixture. We allowed the solid to…
Animation is the method of taking still images and presenting them in rapid succession to create the illusion of motion. The contrast between animation and video is video takes constant movement and splits it up into frames. You have many different types of animation. Usually the main ones used are Traditional animation, Stop animation and Computer Generated animation. Traditional animation is created by drawing every frame by hand. Then these frames are coloured and scanned onto a computer and…
Ocean pollution, also known as marine pollution, is the spreading of harmful substances such as oil, plastic, industrial and agricultural waste and chemical particles into the ocean. Most of the sources of the marine pollution are land base activities. Marine pollution has numerous effects on marine animals, plants and human. Therefore, it is important to understand the cause and effect of the ocean pollution, and what people can do to solve this problem. The source of marine pollution is…
in order to get the tank where it is today. The first step in starting a tank is to use the most pure water that is obtainable called reverse osmosis water that is nearly 100% pure. This is normal tap water that is filtered through fiber cartridge filters, activated carbon, reverse osmosis membrane and then is ran through two sets of UV sterilizers. Once the tank is full of the pure water, the levels of different minerals and trace elements must be added to make it able to accommodate different…
Zebra mussels are a pervasive, nonnative species that was introduced to America in the 1980’s. Zebra mussels are mollusks that have a striped pattern that is apparent on their shells, and which their names are derived from. Their typical size is akin to the size of a fingernail, but can reach a size of up to 2 inches. The shape of these creatures take on the form of the letter “D”. Due to the recent introduction of zebra mussels to the Americas, and the biology of the mussels themselves, zebra…
.0 Alternatives Evaluated From the five potential alternatives I have suggested, I believe some will have a more substantial positive impact on the business than others. My alternatives to improve the access to the blocks are not easily nor straight forward, they require considerable coordination with the neighbour or a considerable outlay of cash to purchases the neighbouring block. Therefore, this is not a straight forward management decision and combination of considerable factors need to…
Mamavirus progeny. In addition to disrupting replication, Sputnik also causes a percentage of Mamavirus progeny to be deformed and not viable. It is notable as the amoebal host cell is indirectly helped by Sputnik because the abnormal Mamavirus particles produced render it less infective to the host cell. It is fascinating that the Sputnik virophage is aiding the host amoebal cell by moderating host virus activities. After Sputnik, the second virophage discovered is Mavirus virophage. Mavirus…
