NiCd is the chemical abbreviation for the composition of Nickel-Cadmium batteries, which are a type of secondary (rechargeable) batteries. Nickel-Cadmium batteries contain the chemicals Nickel (Ni) and Cadmium (Cd), in various forms and compositions. The nickel-cadmium battery, invented by Waldmar Jungner in 1899, offered several advantages over the then only rechargeable battery, lead acid, but the materials were expensive and the early use was restricted. Developments lagged until 1932 when…

When discussing the environment creates a lot of controversy as there are many different opinions on how the environment should be regulated.

immediate effects on our lives. List three things that could have global effects in the production of the thneed. With enough production of Thneed, pollution levels could escalate, polluting more and more of the air and water and increasing carbon dioxide levels, contributing to global warming. In addition, Thneed production that forces animals to move out of their natural habitats, risks the collapse of entire ecosystems and food chains which could eventually have a global effect. Lastly,…

Discussions/Conclusions: Out of all the factors, the sponge and the leaves had the most effect on climate in the model atmosphere. They had a range of 25 degrees Celsius from the base reading at 0 minutes, to the final reading at 20 minutes. The sponge started out at 19 degrees Celsius and ended at 44 degrees Celsius. The leaves started also started at 19 degrees Celsius and also finished at 22 degrees Celsius. The control experiment with no variables added had a range of 9 degrees Celsius from…

environmental problems as: “non-issues, situations of concern, problems, and actual crises” (16). He explains the ongoing discussion of global warming and how it’s hard to approach such a large issue. One suggestion was to “implement a tax on carbon dioxide emissions”, this would greatly reduce emissions. Although global warming is a large environmental problem, McKitrick did not touch on many of the other aspects. He solely focused on air pollution and global warming which makes his writing…

In “Plant Pigment,” by Shirley Raps and Jeffrey Harborne, two types of plant pigments are discussed: photosynthetic and nonphotosynthetic pigments. Photosynthetic pigments are responsible for absorbing light and transferring energy during photosynthesis. Among this group of pigments are chlorophylls, phycobilins, carotenoids, and reaction center pigments which causes plants’ green, blue, yellow and orange colors, respectively. Nonphotosynthetic pigments are used to attract insects for…

The End of Time The question of how the world will end has been discussed and debated countless times throughout the centuries. Some say a meteor will strike or global warming will cause our planet to explode, while others talk of a great ice age that will cover the earth in silent frostiness. Robert Frost’s “Fire and Ice” and “The Second Coming,” by William Butler Yeats, are poems that seek to explore the apocalyptic destruction of the world from different viewpoints. Although they both share…

A school campus’ mood and success are derived from the connection between culture and climate. The educational product will be better for a campus whose culture and climate are positive versus negative. The school campus culture and climate can be reformed but in order to do so, the distinctions between culture and climate need to be understood and significant changes are needed starting with climate first as it is climate that influences culture. In the article School Climate, Gruenert…
