Some people say that the laws and punishments should be less strict while others say we need more strict laws. “The National Transportation Safety Board recommended all 50 states decrease the blood alcohol content threshold for drunken driving from 0.08% to 0.05%. The goal is to have zero deaths from alcohol-related car accidents” (Granderson). Sen. Linda Gray wants to cut punishment time for a DUI interlock device from one year to six months. According to…

“Drunk driving is a significant problem in the United States, costing thousands of lives and billions of dollars each year”(Preventing). Drunk driving is not just a huge problem in the United States, the whole world suffers from it. Some people do not see the real cost of drunk driving. When the driver is drunk, families experience losing a loved one, whether the deceased was part of the problem or not. The driver that consumes a significant amount of alcohol cannot control him or herself,…

Garlic has a powerful odor that tends to mask the smell of alcohol. • Drink plenty of coffee. A strong smelling coffee may override the alcohol smell. • Nosh on…

Amorphous peat is a type of peat where its moisture content is constantly high which is more than 200% based on a case study by Kazemian et al., 2011. According to Huat, 2004, amorphous peat is also highly humified where any plant components in the peat itself is very indistinct or invisible with its colour of being more to of a darker side of a brown colour. This type of peat has high to medium composition of organic matter where, it’s fiber content is less than 33% (Huat, 2004). Furthermore,…

two of the jars. The other jar without soda lime served as a control to account for any CO2 already present in the chamber. All three jars were labeled with a number and location. Both jars containing the granules were oven dried to remove any water content for 24-hours. Next, jars were removed from the oven, transferred to a desiccator and the masses of both jars were recorded.Sampling equipment, along with jars and chambers was brought out to the field. Uncovered chambers were placed upside…

about 2/3 of a cup of water that we were heating up on the stove and stirred until the stabilizer dissolved. Once it dissolved we removed the pot from the stove and put into the freezer to cool. While the water mixture was cooling, we made a simple syrup. Our simple syrup was made with roughly equal parts sugar and water. We dissolved the sugar in the water over a burner and then removed it from the burner. We allowed the simple syrup to cool at room temperature until the water mixture was cold…

salts and minerals. Chemical composition is also one of the important factors for biofuel production. Moisture content of raw pearl millet biomass was (8 %) and ash content (6.27 %) was obviously higher than that the literature report of 3.8 % (Dhabhai et al., 2012). The proximate analysis of pearl millet biomass revealed that moisture (8±0.32%), ash (6.27±0.08%), total solids (92±0.14%), water extractives (6.43±0.12), ethanol extractives (5.72±0.34), cellulose (41.6±0.16%), hemicellulose (22.32…

made of distilled water (10 mL), was fully immersed into distilled water. Its mass almost did not change (Table 1). It increased from 11.9g to 11.3g after 15 minutes, but after it, the mass always kept in 11.3g during the last 45 minutes. For Bag 2, 10mL 10% sucrose immersed into distilled water, its mass increased with the time increased (Table 1). It showed that the weights increased 1.2g in 60 minutes. Also for Bag 3, which contained 30% (10mL) sucrose immersed into distilled water, its…

1.3 Consistency indices Fine-grained soils are formed in nature by the gradual deposition of soil particles from suspension in water. In the process of settlement, consolidation and drying out, the material passes through several well-defined states, namely: liquid suspension; viscous liquid; plastic solid; semi- plastic solid;…

Introduction: Water and soil, are vital resources. In the arid region, they are experiencing a high degradation in quantity and quality by water erosion. the latter is a natural phenomenon, that evolves with the anthropic evolution and the climate severity, recent studies on the vulnerability to climate change in the Mediterranean region, indicate a trend towards increased aridity which accelerating water erosion (Berkane and Yahiaou 2007; Souadi 2011). Soil erosion by rainfall and runoff is a…
