Greenhouse Gas Pollution in the United States Whether we like it or not greenhouse gas pollution is inevitably increasing in the United States; negatively affecting all of our daily lives. How many American citizens drive a car? Roughly 34 percent of the nation’s households own at least one car, and every-time a person drives it releases about 24 pounds of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere. That is just one example of greenhouse gas pollution, and there are an innumerable amount of other…

Simply by hearing the word nuclear people immediately steer away from the topic or dismiss it entirely. The word is tied to death and destruction but over all else fear. We think of the atomic bombs the U.S. dropped on Japan. We think of Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and most recently Fukishima. All three melted down leaving destruction and untold consequences in their wake. Although these events were indeed disasters, they were cause by unknown factors and were the worst case scenario; Yet…

power is a form of energy that is better for the environment and is an expensive but efficient upgrade. The power we currently use, aside from fossil fuels, is hydropower and wind power. Hydropower is the conversion of fast flowing water through turbines to produce power. As an author…

fracturing pollutes the environment extremely, then why do corporations decide to further conduct these wells to drill? Why put the public in danger just for more non-renewable resources when Americans could build solar panels, windmills, and water turbine? These renewable resources will remain useful for thousands of year to come and not pollute our environment to keep our home…

Damnation: The Removal of Dams Project Name: Institution Affiliation: Date: Damnation This documentary focuses on the eco-system and targets the environmentally conscious public. The movie debates in regards to the United States of America (USA) as a Dam Nation and how the existence of more than 75,000 dams in USA has a negative impact on water consumption and the fish species. Knight and Rummel attempt to explain the pros and cons of dams. The movie also features the tale of salmons, which…

1.Please explain how medical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exploits the magnetic properties of the nucleus. MRI exploits the process known as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). In fact the technique used to be called simply NMR or NMR imaging, but the “nuclear” was dropped because of the connotation of radiation hazards from unstable nuclear sources, although there is no logical rationale for such fear. In NMR, a sample of material is placed in a strong magnetic field. The nuclei in the sample…

Global Warming: What should be done? What is global warming? Global warming is “a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth’s atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutions.” (Google. Global Warming) with that said I truly believe that global warming is truly a “thing” that people of all ages, race and cultural backgrounds should take serious and not ignore. With that said as a whole…

Introduction London already hosted for three times for the Olympics Games event and London is the city that hosted the most Summer Olympics. The London Olympics Stadium is located at a diamond shaped island. The design of the London Olympics Stadiums need to design against some basic needs of the large games stadium such as long term, limited land and develop the architectural language of venue design. Because, sustainability is one of a favorite development method in nowadays and as one would…

of giving your engine one final rev before you turn it off, you should refrain from that practice. That last minute rev causes the turbo-charge to kick in. However, once the engine is turned off, the oil stops pumping. That means your turbo-charge turbine is still turning, but without the necessary lubricant. Those repeated last minute revs can cause your bearings to wear out quicker than they…

Uranium was first discovered in 1789 by Martin Klaproth. It was formed in supernovas about 6.6 billion years ago. Uranium is one of the heavier elements on the periodic table, being 18.7 times as dense as water. It is element number 92 and this specific isotope has 235 nucleons. This indicates to us that Uranium 235 has 92 protons, 92 electrons, and 143 neutrons. Uranium’s slow radioactive decay is the main source of heat inside the earth, causing convection and continental drift. Uranium 235…
