Urban heat island

warmer environment in comparison to a colder one. However, the results of my experiment refute my claim. Initially I thought that the pill bugs would be naturally drawn to the warmer temperatures due to the fact that pill bugs are cold-blooded and need heat to survive but, for this experiment that was not the case. On average, there were 7 isopods in the cold chamber and 2 in the warm one. At the most there were 8 isopods in the cold chamber, whereas in the warm chamber, there was at the most 4.…

In addition, higher SGR of V. parahaemolyticus was observed as the temperature increases. The MPD values of V. parahaemolyticus varies from the lowest 7.00 to the highest 8.91, regardless of the type of V. parahaemolyticus strain at the 3 different temperatures. The differences in LT values were increased as the temperature was increased. At 20 °C, the shortest LT was observed with the (tlh+) strain, followed by (tdh+/trh+), the mixture, the (tdh+) and the (trh+). At 25°C the strains likely kept…

A group of biologists have developed a general model to explain growth and development in ectothermic organisms. Changes in environmental temperatures effect the rates of most biological reactions and biological processes in ectotherms. The rates of ontogenetic growth and development are no exceptions. Ectothermic animals develop faster at warmer temperatures and they usually mature at smaller body sizes. This phenomenon has been called the temperature size rule (Zuo et Al. 2011). The…

The estimated amount of time it took for the reactions that involved 2- chlorobutane, 2 – bromobutane, or 2 – chloro – 2 – methylpropane and 2 - bromobutane to form a precipitate could not be determined because no precipitate was formed. It makes sense that no precipitate was from because there was a lot of steric hindrance. The estimated amount of time it took for the reaction that involved 1 – chlorobutane could not be determined because at first glance it looked as if no precipitate formed.…

In this lab experiment, we will be using an unknown volatile liquid in order to understand the direct relationship between the molecular weight of a gas and its vapor density, which will help us determine the molecular weight of the unknown. The necessary tools that are essential in this experiment include: a balance, watch glass, two pieces of foil (2.5x2.5 inches & 3x3 inches), boiling chips, a ring stand, a thermometer, a bunsen burner, and an 800mL beaker. During this experiment, we have to…

(e) Dalton’s Law Challenge Question: Ordinary air contains about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and small amounts of several other gases. As a diver descends, the pressure of the air he is breathing increases by about one atm for every 10 m of depth. Oxygen may become toxic and cause convulsions if it is breathed at a pressure above 1.4 atmospheres. According to Dalton’s Law, at what depth should a SCUBA diver be concerned about oxygen toxicity if he is breathing ordinary air? Discussion Points: •…

Education and Care. Using the table below, explain in your own words the following aspects of basic home fire safety: Fire spread and speed Fire can spread very fast it can take few minutes to transfer from point to point Heat transfer The fire can transfer from place to place by heat transfer Radiation Is how he fire can transfer by rays Convection Fire can transfer through liquid or gas due to the circulation…

those predicted by Gillooly (2006) is that fully grown sauropods had mechanisms that regulated their body temperatures. A tracheal surface and air sac system that served as an internal cooling system, along with long necks and tails that facilitated heat dispersion could have been effective cooling methods that the sauropods…

Bernie Sanders said, “Every day we are paying more for energy than we should due to poor insulation, inefficient lights, appliances, and heating and cooling equipment - money we could save by investing in energy efficiency”. My family’s pre-home energy bill correlates to what Mr. Sanders was saying. They were paying more than they had to due to poorly conserving energy. My FPL bill prior to this project was $210.63, which was normal since it was the summer and the air conditioning unit was…

Wake up in the morning, pop my ankles. Sit down to eat breakfast, pop my back. Go to school and sit at a desk for an hour, pop my neck. You could say that “popping” has become a bad habit. Sometimes I will pop my knuckles consciously, while other times, the need comes absentmindedly. Every time I lay down for bed I pop my toes…weird I know, but popping has become a part of me. Why you might ask? Cracking and popping used to be something I did when I was bored or nervous. Now, it is just a way…
