Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation

Our group project was based around up and coming solar technologies. The research we did as a group were framing ways that our world can collect the suns energy and make a useful output. I did my research on The Tesla Powerwall. Tesla Motors is an automobile manufacturer that has a concentration in electric motors. By producing cars with an electric motor is decreasing air pollution. The effects of air pollution are, and can be very devastating. Tesla thrives on making these motors silent and…

was then placed in either ampicillin or not as well as with a ribosome known as arabinose. The E. coli without pGLO died in the ampicillin and the ones with pGLO survived after a period of incubation, with the one that had arabinose glowing under ultraviolet light. This was the expected result due to GFP adding a resistance to ampicillin in the plasmid. Introductions Escherichia coli…

It was inevitable. After living in a world where only a few select people cared about how we were affecting our surroundings with our carelessness and inability to think of future generations, it’s all gone. Now, only a few species remain. Hypotheses: Sun Basking Shark: With the absence of fish in the sea, these sharks had to find a means to survive and that meant looking to the sun. These sharks were genetically modified by some of the last humans to have green fins that contained a significant…

There are those who live for the sun and can spend hours out soaking up the feeling of warmth. Then there are those who prefer to stay inside and escape from the powerful UV rays that come in contact with their body. Both types of people are at fault in the way in which they are using the sun. Those who spend too much time outside may develop skin cancer. Skin cancer is the most common cancer; about 3.5 million cases of basal and squamous cell skin cancer are diagnosed each year. Another 73,000…

Our paper is about sunscreen, oncology, and cancer and how it relates to chemistry. It tells you what sunscreen is, how it affects the body, and what cancer and oncology are. The purpose of this paper is to show what we know and understand about chemistry. We show that we know how chemistry is used in everyday life and how it is in things we use on a daily basis, such as sunscreen. Studies have shown that sunscreen, cancer, and oncology are all related. When using sunscreen daily, you can easily…

The tanning bed has many dangers and I am not a huge fan due to all the dangerous effects of it. The CDC states that “A tan is the body’s response to injury from UV rays. A base tan does little to protect you from future damage to your skin cause by UV exposure” (“Indoor Tanning Is Not Safe”). Whether it…
