- 2621: Recommendation For Recycling Water in Florida
- ... familiarize you with the problem and explain the other uses currently being employed in Florida. This report also explains the procedure, as well as a recommendation including the site and costs involved, along with a short background on the proposed procedure. I recommend that the recycled project be funded and allow the pilot plant to meet the ever increasing demand for water in Florida. Executive Summary The water shortage problem effects ... months upon approval of the funds. I feel this option is both economically and environmentally feasible and would like to get started as soon as possible. Introduction Water, our most precious resource, is becoming in short demand. With water use increasing every day here in Florida, will there be enough water for everybody? We live in a state where people are migrating into every day, due to the desirable climate and ...
- 2622: Radon
- ... of radon that is decaying in the building's air. This type of testing is more costly because it requires a professional, as well as expensive equipment.(22) Testing can either be long term or short term. Long term tests run for more than ninety days. Alpha track devices are most commonly used for this type of test. The most common short term tests are charcoal canisters and continuous monitors.(23) Reducing Radon Levels There are a number of methods that can be used to reduce the amounts of radon that enter a building. Soil suction is ...
- 2623: Purple Loosestrife
- ... a wheelbarrow, can develop into a plant. This shows the plant's desire to live no matter what obstacles it faces, again making it very difficult to control. Purple loosestrife plants have three style lengths (short, mid, long) and three strengths (short, mid, long). Pollination occurs between plants with the same style and stamen length. Purple loosestrife flowers have of one style length and the two sets of stamens are different lengths, therefore a plant is technically ...
- 2624: Deforestation of the Pacific Northwest
- ... North Coast forest ecosystem. In order to send the owl population in the right direction, the major problem for their decline would have to be remedied – loss of habitat. This fact combined with the owls' short life expectancy and late age of breeding only exacerbates the problem. When loggers remove old growth the owl loses habitat for its' food, housing, as well as protection from predators. Approximately ninety percent of the ... the environment to change their current ways. For these companies to switch, it would cost them money to follow the more sustainable approach while also decreasing their profit due to less tree cutting in the short-term. In my opinion, it is up to the government to set standards that force these companies to switch by making regulations more strict as well as a greater number of them if need be ...
- 2625: The Giraffe
- The Giraffe My science project is on Giraffes. The Giraffe is the tallest mammal in the world. Giraffes have very long necks with a short, upstanding mane, high shoulders which slope steeply, and long legs that are nearly equal in length. The male weight can range to 2420-4250, and the female can range to 1540-2600. The Giraffes can ... looking, while males are less. Night mostly spent lying down ruminating, especially hours after dark and before dawn. A Giraffe has 2 ways of getting around which is walking and galloping. The long legs and short trunk decree an ambling walk, with the entire weight supported alternatively on the left and right legs, like camels. The long neck moves in a synchrony to maintain balance. It can gallop up to 37 ...
- 2626: Insulation
- ... the protective coat of a sheep. Since ancient times it was harvested to provide clothing and is an important part in textile trade because of its insulation. Woolen fabric is when the woolen system uses short or mixed long and short fiber where no combing is done. It has a rough appearance and is most suitable for blankets, overcoats, and tweeds. Denim which the experimenter is also testing is the material used to make blue jeans ...
- 2627: Microbursts
- ... uprooting trees inside a narrow swath. Because of the narrow damage path which occurs with a roaring sound of a rotor microburst, it has been identified as a tornado by mistake. Microburst wind shears are short-lived (2 to 5 minutes), small scale, intense downdrafts with vertical velocities that exceed 15 meters per second. They are extremely dangerous to flight because their small rapid changing wind pattern over short distances results in extreme catastrophic performance loss. These microbursts may produce damaging winds extending only 4.0 kilometers or less in the horizontal dimension. In spite of its small horizontal scale, an intense microburst could ...
- 2628: Fusion
- ... 1.3). In the proton-proton reaction, a proton (the positively charged nucleus of a hydrogen atom) is forced so close to another proton (within a tenth of a trillionth of an inch) that a short range nuclear force known as the strong force takes over and forces the two protons to bond together (1). One proton then decays into a neutron (a particle with the same mass as a proton ... neutrons) (1). Almost immediately after this, another helium nucleus is forced into the cluster, creating a carbon nucleus of six protons and six neutrons (2). In this reaction, all of the heat given off is short-wavelength gamma rays, one of the most penetrating forms of radiation. Each variety of fusion occurs depending on the size and age of the star. This will affect core temperature, causing the corresponding variety of ...
- 2629: The Rain Forest - Example of a Flourishing Ecosystem
- ... as it causes no harm. When considering the rainforests environment one could assume that seeds from trees will germinate quickly, where there is sufficient light, grow quickly, flower, produce seeds, and die in a fairly short period of time. This is not always the way of the trees within a rainforest though. Studies in such countries as Malaysia have shown tree ages ranging from 60- 500 years old. The oldest tree ... of fruit and flowers everywhere. An important thing to realize about that canopy is that all the tops of the trees do not combine with each other. The boundary of each tree top stops a short distance from the leaves of a nearby tree. This natural occurring event is known as crown shyness and is thought to be a defense against leaf munching caterpillars. The world of plants within a rainforest ...
- 2630: Alchemy
- ... ideas, especially those connected with spiritual contact. The object of modern alchemy might be reduced to the search for a substance having the power to transform and transmute all other substances into one another - in short, to discover that medium so well known to the alchemists of old and lost to us. This was a perfectly feasible proposition. In the four principal substances of oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, and azote, we have ... the most precious metal, but when circumstances were not favorable the baser metals resulted. The desire of the old alchemists was to surprise nature`s secrets, and thus attain the ability to do in a short period what nature takes years to accomplish. Nevertheless, the medieval alchemists appreciated the value of time in their experiments as modern alchemists never do. M. Figuier`s friend urged him not to condemn these exponents ...
