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…
the pH meter. Out of ten substances that were used, five of them were found to be acidic, namely: hydrochloric acid, coke, toothpaste, milk, and acetic acid. Sodium hydroxide, buffer solution, bleach, and the detergent were found to be basic. Bottle water was found to be neutral. Substances are said to be acidic because of having pH levels lesser than 7, and those having pH greater than 7 are said to be basic. Some are neutral,…
Our five senses are vital to us. They enable us to experience and recognize the beautiful and complex world around us. They are the means by which we see the sunlight, listen to the bird song, taste the soft fruit, touch the beach sand and, smell the salty ocean air. Those are our senses, but are there truly just five senses? Or could there be a sixth sense as well? A sense that certain people possess that makes them able to predict events and situations before they occur? An example of such…
and round. In reality, it's not so much an island of trash as a soupy area of litter, mostly in the form of tiny flecks of plastic, studded here and there with old fishing gear and children's toys. If you were to sail right through the Patch, the water itself probably wouldn't look too remarkable, unless you scooped some up and looked at it closely. Now, this does not mean that the issue is lessened in the slightest; It may even be worse. Everyone needs to come to a distinct agreement on…
