My work revolved around the hydrological analysis of the city of Santa Cruz, California area in the San Lorenzo Watershed. My purpose was to determine if any relationship could be discovered between the rainfall and runoff data of the watershed area with the urbanization of the city. The problem at hand was to cross reference the development of Santa Cruz with the patterns of the local water data. Real precipitation and stream flow data within the San Lorenzo Watershed where studied from January…

Storm water pollution is a huge problem in Georgia. It can lead to sickened animals and polluted waterways. Storm water itself isn’t deadly though. It is what is in the storm water that can be. I will explain exactly storm water pollution is and how it can be prevented. Storm water is the water that falls from a storm and onto the ground. Like I said before, storm water itself isn’t harmful. But when pollution from the ground and other such areas mix in with the water it can become deadly.…

local streams, rivers, and waterways by curbing runoff thereby reducing the level of runoff that reach the river, according to the website potomac.org*. This law made is possible for Maryland to collect a fee, based on the amount of paved or hardened surfaces on a property that collects pollution, from the community which they then used to fund local waterway clean-up efforts. (Potomac.org) These efforts have led to reduced pollution in the…

“relaxation”, and cleaning the body of the past. The tensions held from the past are held inside the joints and muscles, and over time the body accumulates the emotional and physical stress that is stored inside the joints. When the body does store negative energy over time, many people do not realize the feeling of tension. If wanting to get rid of this tension, you would want to start in whatever position you feel most relaxed in, and let your muscles relax while you still maintain integrity.…

transport in the disordered organic semiconductors and modeling the electrical characteristics OTFTs [27, 58]. Indeed, the notion of VRH implies that a free carrier either may over a long distance with low activation energy or hop over a short distance with high activation energy [22-25, 58]. A crucial feature of the VRH model is the determination of the density of states (DOS).…

Friction welding is a pressure welding procedure, at which the energy necessary for welding is obtained by transforming the friction mechanical energy into heat. [1] Welding process includes the following phases: [1]  driving one of the welding components in rotating, with constant or variable speed and the other one (fixed) pressing on it, with an axial force;  heating the components ends, because of the friction of the two surfaces in contact, under the axial force action (constant or…

The Sun is the source of most of the energy that drives the life in the world around us in oceans, organic life, and in the atmosphere. It’s one of the most important processes to humanity as it provides various elements that are essential to human survival, such as photosynthesis, the water cycle, and light. However, the Sun isn't all righteous due to various factors that contribute to the Sun being damaging to organisms on Earth. To understand more about why the Sun can be harmful one must…

field that causes the gasses within this portion of the atmosphere to become highly excited by the energy emitted from the sun, charging its…

physics, energy is usually described as the ability of a system to perform work. However, this definition is often challenged because of the many different forms energy can hold. There have been definitions derived which are more suitable to certain contexts. Thermal energy is a more specific energy explored in this investigation process. Thermal energy is one of the types of energy which can be defined by ‘the ability to perform work’. It is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy…

metabolic processes to help maintain their stable body temperatures. Though this method requires a significant amount of energy, it allows for endotherms to maintain their body temperatures when in a cold environment. Overall, it can be seen through this information, as well as the results provided in this experiment, that maintaining a warm body is much more costly on an organism’s energy supply than a cold body (Clarke & Fraser 2004). Ectotherms cannot use the heat from their metabolic…
