Renewable Energy Sources At the beginning of the 21st century, mankind started using new technologies in order to harvest energy from environmental sources other than fossil fuels and natural gases. These environmental energy sources include solar, wind, water, biomass, and geothermal. These sources are more commonly known as renewable energy sources. Renewable energy is a theoretically inexhaustible energy source. It is an energy source that is not depleted when used. A good way to look at a…
A deep-sea hydrothermal vent is one of the harshest places to live on earth. This is due to the pitch darkness, heavy metals, extreme acidity, poison gas and the enormous pressure. Sunlight penetrates no further than a few hundred feet down which means the deep-sea floor is as dark as a deep cave. There are no plants due to no sunlight and all the vent life belong to the animal kingdom. Due to there being no plants there is no photosynthesis. These organisms rely on a process called…
the light but needed the light to be able to terminate the cancerous cell.So with the drones being non motorized Pal Lab was able to eliminate thermal absorption. But Pal Lab will continue to experiment with this drones and expect them to run on Two-photon…
a hard time to figure in what cases and are risky if the electrical power is lost. Producing solar energy is as easy as harnessing the sun’s rays or photons and converting them into electrical energy. This is done through solar panels composed of photovoltaic (PV) or solar cells that are installed on your roof. When the sun hits a cell, the photons are converted to electrons of direct current electricity that flow through an inverter where they are then transformed into an alternating current…
Equipment Air hockey requires a couple pieces of specialized equipment, including a table, two mallets and a puck. The table includes a large smooth surface for play, which includes some kind of machinery underneath that forces air to the top through several tiny holes. This allows the puck to glide effortlessly over the surface, allowing for fast action and quick gameplay. The table is surrounded by a rail to keep the puck from flying off the table. At each end is a slot which serves as a…
“Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.” Carl Sagan was the man who had once spoke this quote. If we take time to look at the big picture, the human race and the Earth we inhabit really is insignificant when it comes to the whole scheme of the universe. This is one of the reasons why so many people wish time travel and travelling to other…
The Sun, the closest star to Earth, and a life-sustaining necessity. It is also the center of space and solar weather, which powers and affects much of the solar system’s activities and life on Earth. Space weather goes hand in hand with the Sun’s constant gaseous activities, which depend on the Sun’s natural occurrences. This paper discusses the important topics of solar plasma, solar wind, as well as solar flares and coronal mass ejections. It also looks at human abilities to capture and use…
The stages of human development can be culturally defined in addition to biologically defined. The biological stages describe when things grown in develop in a human throughout their life span. These stages are for the most part clear and stay pretty true to the ages in when things happen. However in different cultures, they will care for their children in different ways. In different cultures, they experience different upbringings; doing certain things differently because of the way their…
In experiment 1 there were five cuvettes of decreasing concentrations from the initial 0.01 mg/ml concentration of Fast Green solution (cuvette 1). The diluted concentration of cuvettes #2 through #5 were calculated using the dilution formula, C1V1 = C2V2 ; the calculations for the dilute concentrations are in Results section. The concentration for each tube were as follows: 0.015 mg/ml for tube 1, 0.0075 mg/ml for tube 2, 0.00375 mg/ml for tube 3, 0.001875 mg/ml for tube 4, and 0.000935 mg/ml…
Discovered in 1898, the element neon has helped produce a staple of American cities and everyday night life: neon lights. Neon was first proved to exist by William Ramsay and Morris Travers of London, who decided to name the newly discovered element after the Greek word neos, or new. This finding was “vital in proving the existence of isotopes” (McCormick 1). The Periodic Table of Elements shows neon on the farthest right column, meaning it belongs to the noble gas family. As a part of the…
