A: The purpose of heating the seaweed was so that it turned into ash. We did this by placing the seaweed in a tin and burning it from the Bunsen burner. This was done so we could get iodine from the seaweed to use in the experiment. This produces the iodine we need to begin the experiment. A problem that could have occurred was placing too much seaweed in the tin so it took a lot longer to burn. Also, a bit of the seaweed were popping out the tin which is a health and safety concern so we must…

Mihika Shah, Arizona State University Quality management is a very important part of software organizations, and it is imperative to produce good quality products. In order to do that, it is necessary for every individual involved in the team to do superior quality work. The Personal Software Process provides guidelines that would provide an engineer with a disciplined approach to solve problems, and complete products which are of high quality, on schedule, and under the budget. This…

presentations and orientation. The benefit is that continuous training develops a culture of quality and this is important for sustaining quality in the long-term (Yusof & Aspiwall, 2000, p. 285). This, however, requires adequate funding which should be always be in place. This is what happens in Lego through the ‘Quality management from the heart’ value of the company and this way they have been able to maintain quality throughout the…

Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is applied interchangeably along with total quality management (TQM). CQI has been utilized as a way to establish clinical practices and is centered around the notion that there is a chance for enhancement in all methods and procedures and on all occasions. A lot of in-hospital quality assurance programs usually concentrate on problems that are known by regulatory or accreditation organizations, for instance analyzing documents, evaluating the work of…

Fracking is an exceptionally complicated process. To start the process, a ten thousand foot well is drilled below the surface into shale layers. Next, 1 to 8 million gallons of water mixed with chemicals are injected into the well at extremely high pressures to crack the rock. This will allow the product to flow out once the water is mostly removed. This process is highly controversial and is often the basis for political debates and arguments. There are several valid points brought forth on…

The Gaia Foundation argues that ‘’contamination of water and ecosystems, disruption of rocks land stability, environment and food production will continue to affect the local people for many of years if the reclamation is not properly done’’ (Gaia Foundation, 2014, p.36). Once the reclamation accomplished, the land is then handle over to the government and the necessary agencies. 2.3 Mining and Health Health is one of the fundamental aspects for the development and survival of all human races…

sensitivity of the grapes and the requirements needed in order for the grapes to be of high quality. That being said we can attempt to grow grapes in certain areas that are less likely to be effected by climate change yet provide the proper terrain for grape production. The first most obvious way to make grape production more sustainable is to not waste grapes. While the grapes may not be of the highest quality, they will still be edible whether they be made into wine, dried into sultanas or…

The purpose of this experiment is to quantify the air quality and emissions of a local Nacogdoches Tadarida brasiliensis, Brazilian Free-Tailed bat colony. Concentration of ammonia, particulate matter, fungi and bacteria were measured to assess air quality. The guano at the base of the garage was also analyzed for nitrogen and carbon content. The colony briefly lived in the north end of parking garage on East College Street and Raguet Avenue until its untimely removal. The colony could be seen…

measured quantity of water is applied slowly but directly to the plant roots where it is needed, rather than sprayed everywhere. It can among other things, reduce disease problems associated with high levels of moisture on some plants. Sprinkler system on the other hand, is a method of applying irrigation water in a manner similar to rainfall. Water is distributed through a system of pipes usually by pumping which is then sprayed into the air and it breaks up into small water drops which fall to…
