Through going up in Green Bay and De Pere, Wisconsin, there has always been a topic that has continuously appeared and disappeared. That is the condition of the Fox River, throughout my childhood I was never able to fully use the river to swim or fish within. That is because of the dangerously high levels of pollution that are within the water. The river has been found to have 209 chemicals found in a study by Sharon A. Fitzgerald and Jeffrey J. Steuer. Throughout my studies, I have found great…

The periodic table had been a key factor in many ways to finding new elements, like scandium, silicon, and neon. It has shown new ways those elements could help us by predicting certain elements reactions. While Dimitri Ivanovich Mendeleev is considered to be the creator of the periodic table, there were many contributions that helped the creation of the useful graph be achieved. Between 1817 and 1829 Johann Dobereiner was grouping elements with similar properties into groups of threes,…

The Impact of Wind and Solar Variability in Grid Network 1. Introduction The renewable energy development has accelerated over the last decades. Renewable energy can benefit in such a way in various point of view. In an economic perspective, this type of energy has been more economically accepted in the market due to the decline production cost and no requirement of fuel and hence is relatively safe from fluctuated fuel price risk. Moreover, this type of energy can be found in many locations in…

Introduction The evolution of mankind from the medieval times to the current ‘science and technology age’ has allowed mankind to evolve and adapt to nature well. In fact, the advent of science has propelled mankind forward to where he is today, something that was considered unimaginable and unattainable hundreds and thousands of years back. Albert Einstein once said “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” So I question, what is Science? Before I develop my…

This semester, I agreed to take part on in the Conversation Partner program. The purpose of this program was to pair International Students to NNU undergraduates who would be willing to spend time with them, as well as act as a guide to American culture. This act would both benefit the International Students, who might be otherwise struck with culture shock, and it gives NNU undergraduates the opportunity to break away from the homogeny of the campus. When I was assigned to a conversation…

I had always been what some would call a “good student”. I never got in trouble, and I never went into the principal’s office. I did my homework most of the time. I made good grades, and I even made it to the spelling bee two consecutive years. The first year I was in the third grade. I remember that year vividly. During the semifinals I completely obliterated my opponents. It wasn’t even close. The spelling bee that day lasted maybe only 20 minutes. I flew through those words like Donald…

Man vs. Women “You just wish sometimes that people would treat you like a human being rather than seeing your gender first and who you are second”-Francis O'Grady. We tend to give a man and women a role in life. Whether we put employment, color, marraige role, dating or emotional expression its part as a masculine or a feminine trait. This all leads to gender expectations. Gender expectations is a set of social and behavioral norms that, within a specific culture, are widely considered to…

A museum requires a performant lightning system in order to observe the exhibits in a proper way. Taking a walk in Tate Modern I noticed that the light intensity as well as the light distribution is different in each space: the galleries from the Turbine Hall and the halls. In the galleries there are glowing light boxes displayed on the ceilings. The boxes are made out of glass and a steel frame. In addition to these there are also attached movable light bulbs on the steel skeleton of the boxes.…
