It seems widely acknowledged that scientific knowledge is special because it is derived from the facts of experience with application of rigorous scientific methods such as observation, experiment, measurement, statistics, and theorization, to natural phenomenon. Other academic fields like literature and jurisprudence, for example, appear to be merely based on vague and inaccurate methods such as expressing personal experience or opinion, or applying rules written in words arbitrarily…

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…

Boosters (SRBs), the External Fuel Tank (ET) and the Orbiter. Several different types of insulating foams cover a large part of the ET, which contains the cryogenic liquid hydrogen and oxygen that fuel the three Space Shuttle Main Engines, to keep the propellants cool and to prevent the formation of ice outside the tank. Approximately 82 seconds into the launch, Columbia was struck by a large piece of foam that had been detached from the…

58.7 seconds into the flight, hot gases began leaking from the right solid rocket booster; at this point, the propellant had been leaking for some time. The chamber pressures were different at each booster a minute into the flight because the right chamber had a lower pressure. NASA knew something was very wrong as there was an intensifying leakage in the field joint…

One of the biggest impacts on civilization started in Augsburg, Germany around fifteen hundred and twenty. When a man named August Kotter developed barrel rifling. Armorers to black smiths spared the knowledge as each civilization adapted the technology, modifying, and adapting it as it spread. For generation this technology changed as the knowledge continued to disseminate through the decades. Although riffling has been around since the fifteenth century, it was not commonplace. True rifling…

http://www.drugs.com/pro/ventolin.html Albutemol sulphate is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water, thus rendering it for good use as medication (10). The albutemol sulphate is suspended in hydrofluoroalkane propellant known as HFA – 134a, in asthma inhalers (12). The propellant HFA – 134a is the inactive component of salbutamol (10). Below is the chemical structure for HFA – 134a.…

Joshua Connolly 08 August 2015 NCAS2015FALL Evolvable Mars Campaign Essay Question # 4 The question of how to effectively plan a mission to Mars is multi-faceted. To convey the idea of the best mission, every portion of the mission must be discussed. The spacecraft must be designed to meet all mission and safety specifications. The testing must recreate possible scenarios encountered for the duration of the mission. The actual spaceflight plan must account for every action the mission is to take…

3. Current situation 1995 was the final year in which Australia produced any CFC substances. No ozone depleting substances are produced within Australia today. (Department of the Environment and Heritage 2001) Management strategies to cease the import of CFCs were implemented into Australian borders. The total imports of CFCs decreased from 2101.0 tonnes in 1991 to 9.5 tonnes in 2000 (Department of the Environment and Heritage 2001; refer to Appendix B, Table 2). A small percentage of CFCs…

From the very start, Leslie Silko’s novel Ceremony features quite a prominent cultural discrepancy between westerners and the Indigenous people. As the novel unfolds, this discrepancy continues to grow in a seemingly exponential manner, where through the characters’ words and actions, white people continually commit numerous forms of aggressions against indigenous people. Given that both Tayo and Silko have in some ways experienced living in two different worlds, it's absolutely essential to the…

Causes and Effects of Global Warming Aside from war, poverty, and crime, one of the major world issues is global warming. Global warming is a phenomenon caused by the hole in the ozone layer. This hole allows ultraviolet, also known as UV, rays to cover the Earth like a blanket since the purpose of the ozone layer is to block these rays. The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the air that wraps the UV rays around the Earth which causes the warming of the Earth. In…
