The effect of caffeine on the heart rate of Daphnia pulex Introduction In this experiment the effect of caffeine on the heart rate of Daphnia will be tested by use of a microscope and caffeine solution. Daphnia pulex is a crustaceous animal found in the ocean. There internal organs can be visible to observe because their body is translucent. This would be interesting because we could see how the effect of caffeine effects the heart rate of humans as well. Carrie miller from university of…

In this report I will analyze the process of fracking. Fracking is a process of drilling down into the earth before high-pressure water mixture is directed at the Rock to release the gas inside. After that is done water, sand and chemicals are injected into the Rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well. This process can be executed vertical and horizontally by drilling through the Rock layers. This allows new directional ways to release gases or used for…

Warfare is activities that involve war or conflict. A Submarine is a warship with a streamline that works underwater. The submarine warfare had many big battles the most important battles were located at Pearl Harbor and Japan. According to (ww1.net) Submarine’s were underwater boats.

With the removal of the current Gardiner Expressway structure, a new ground-level, eight drive lane will be constructed together with new development on Lake Shore Boulevard approximately from Jarvis Street to Don Valley intersection. A continuous connection between Don Valley Parkway and the redesigned Lake Shore Boulevard will be created by a new constructed elevated on/off ramps. This part would eliminate the need to pass through traffic signals of drivers and avoid traffic jams during rush…

desalinization is a technique of removing salt from saline water with a uniquely created still that absorbs the sun’s energy in order to boil saline water and intake the product’s steam to be cooled and converted back to pure drinkable water. Lower than one percent of desalinization plants are powered with energy sources similar to solar energy. An example of one of these plants is WaterFX in California which produces 65,00 gallons of drinkable water daily. This same company, WaterFx will be…

Dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane, otherwise know as DDT is the most well know pesticide used around the world. (1) Up until 1972 DDT was the most commonly used insecticide in the United States (2) Initially DDT was used to control, lice, malaria and typhus. It then widened its reign to most crops in the United States. It attacked as a kill button. If you sprayed the crops, the insects would die and the crops would then grow stronger and better. What scientists didn’t know is what would happen…

for Hydraulic Fracturing is a process that uses water and other fluids from underground by cracking the shell and collecting the gas that escapes. Wasting the water is not the only problem during Fracking as the water that was used in the Fracking process is now contaminated and the only way to dispose of it is to store It in lagoons that eventually pollute rivers and the water supply. There have been several incidents and documentaries that show water that caught flame when it was exposed to…

their individual abilities as an operator. Things such as knowing the state of the tide and its effect, knowing the current forecasted weather and sea conditions and, knowing the how all those forces affect the local conditions. Tides (changes in water level) are caused mainly by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon. There are roughly two high and low tides daily on the Merrimack River. A flood tide is the tidal…
