Dr. Mengele would have his victims put into chambers and then tested with drugs. The children had to be exposed while being tested on, and the doctors tested them by making injections with lethal germs, sex change operations, and the removal of organs and limbs. Mengele’s next experiments were even more revolting. He would carry out twin-to-twin transfusions and stitched twins together in order to create “Siamese Twins”. All the experiments were tested without using an anesthetic or other…

Vibrio Vulnificus is between 2 to 8 days. What are the common sources of infection contaminated by this bacterium? There are 2 different ways to get infected with Vibrio Vulnificus. The first is by exposing an open wound, cut, sore or puncture to seawater due to the bacterium entering through this break in the skin and causing infection. In some people infection can heal by itself, whereas in others it leads to severe infection of the skin and underlying tissue. The second way a person can…

studying. As well as the Corophium Volutators otherwise known as mud shrimps have not been exposed to anything in this sampling technique therefore they are in their most natural habitat, where as in the sediment sifting method they are exposed to seawater. The hand capturing method allows us to sample from a larger surface therefore our datum will be more precise giving us a more accurate representation of the organisms in this environment.…

First Mineral: My first mineral of choice is Titanium. Titanium is a metal that was discovered in 1791 by William Gregor. A few common properties are its low density, inflexibility, resistant to extreme temperature, and corrosion. Ti is titanium chemical formula. Titanium is vital in my everyday uses for instance my newly purchased wallet, Apple laptop that I use for school and the golf cart I drive around the park. Dentist use titanium for patients who receive teeth implants. Titanium powder…

to battery power, these were also damaged by the seawater, thusly were of little help. The third and final safety system takes the steam from the reactor, cools it and puts it back into the reactor. The problem this time was that the water level in the reactor had dropped below the rods, probably due to a leak caused by the quake. With all three safety systems failing the rods continued to heat and the steam build up. As a last ditch effort, seawater was pumped into the reactor and its…

There are about 100 million unique species on Earth. Living organisms exhibit unity because they use the same processes for seizing and storing energy, producing proteins, and passing on the information through genes from generation to generation. At the same time living organisms exhibit diversity because there are so many different species. All life on Earth is related because everything came to be from common origin yet beginning 4 billion years ago. Throughout the time living things have…

The previous few million years of Earth 's climate has existed controlled by the ice age phases. The ice age phases consisted of extended cold temperature periods with glaciers where massive ice sheets grew on the mainland masses on and around the poles. Because of the ocean water evaporating, the water was being sealed up onto the land as ice. This ice sheet build up has drastically lowered worldwide sea level. Throughout the shorter, hotter, breaks called interglacials, the ice sheets have…

Pressure increase with depth  Pressure will be exerted on a diver’s body by his own weight. The deeper he dives, the more water above him, thus having greater pressure exerted. Total Pressure = P(water above him) + P(air above him) Every 33 feet of seawater = 1 ATA of pressure  Water pressure compresses air  The air in a diver’s body air spaces and diving gear would be compressed as pressure increase and vice versa. Air would compress according to Boyle’s Law shown below. Boyle’s Law: Air…

research done that ocean acidification is when seawater takes in carbon dioxide from the air, thus making chemical reactions to occur. As a result of these reactions, the ocean pH (acidity or alkalinity within a solution) lowers. The pH scale ranges from one to fourteen. On the scale, one is the most acidic, seven is neutral, and fourteen is the most alkaline. Therefore, when the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide, the pH level drops, thus making the seawater more acidic. In its most basic form, this…

The effects of climate change are felt across the world with temperatures rising and snow and ice being less apparent in colder countries. The effects of climate change are prominent on the outside, however, what many people fail to realize is that it affects the ocean too, temperatures are rising and not only that but the ocean chemistry is changing as well due to increased amounts of carbon dioxide dissolving into the ocean. This leads to several complications in the coral reef ecosystems. The…
