Photosynthesis Lab Hypothesis
HYPOTHESIS
Using train conductors as representatives for all of human kind we can postulate with some accuracy the percent of the population of Earth that are complete and total assholes.

If you have ever lived in a small town with train tracks running through it you will know that the conductor of the train is required to sound the whistle at every crossing. This is a 4-part whistle; 2 long, 1 short, 1 long.

My hypothesis is that we can calculate what percentage of the population of planet Earth are probably good folks, are not bad but not really good either, and are total dickheads based on how 10 conductors sound the whistle between the hours of 10pm and 7am in the town of Cascade Locks.

Cascade Locks is a small town, about 2 miles long. It has 1 crossing and it is located at the eastern end of town. On a typical night we have approximately 20 trains go through. For the purpose of this paper, trains heading east will not be included as they sound their whistle on the way out of town therefore causing less disruption. That leaves us with approximately 10 west - bound trains per night.

This is often done at standard loudness (which isn't as loud as possible, just as loud as is necessary).

2 out of 10 conductors sound the whistle in 2 long blasts of 1-2 seconds, 1 short blast of 0.5 seconds, and 1 long blast of 1-2 seconds. This is commonly done at what seems to be half of full possible loudness or

    Photosynthesis is a process to which some autotrophs such as plants produce their own food. It has two stages or reactions light-dependent and light-dependent reactions. The light dependent reactions are the first stage, where energy from sunlight is captures in Photosystem 2 and then 1, the electrons generated in Photosystem 1 then moves along the electron transport chain. The moving of electrons causes a hydrogen ion gradient that is used in the final step to produce ATP, by the ATP Synthase. The equation for this reaction is 6CO2 + 6H2O  C6H12O6+6O2 or, carbon dioxide +water sugars + oxygen . This reaction takes place on the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast and uses energy from sunlight to produce compounds like ATP and NADPH. The second stage of photosynthesis is the Calvin Cycle, which takes place in the stoma of the chloroplast. This stage is light-independent or it does not need energy from sunlight. During this reaction ATP and NADPH from Stage 1are used to produce high energy sugars. The reaction is 3CO2 + 6NADPH + 5H2O + 9ATP  G3P + 2H+ + 6NADP+ + 9ADP + 8Pi . Additionally, the three limiting factors of photosynthesis are the light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and the temperature. Lastly, the items used in this particular experiment were baking soda to provide CO2, a light to excite the electrons in stage 1, distilled…

    Rail Road is very important to understand as a driver. If you do not follow rules that are set to protect you from danger, you can face fatal consequences. It is tragic when you see on the news of train related accident because most of all of them are fatal. As a driver you need to be on the look out when you come to a rail way. On the Warning Devices section of Unit 5 rail road crossing it states,"Public railroad crossings have been marked with warning devices for your safety by highway departments and the railroad companies." They are safety devices out there to keep us safe paid for by the highway department. The same section states," Learn what the warning devices are and watch for them. With these warning devices and caution on your part, you can avoid a railroad-crossing crash." These are all part of car and train…

    When most people hear or read a statistic, they quickly have to decide if the numbers listed are valid or invalid. It is usually assumed that the author of the statistic is knowledgeable in the field to which the statistic pertains. However, on many occasions, the statistic is false, due to the author’s wording. Darrell Huff’s novel How to Lie with Statistics is a manual that can help individuals catch these lies. The novel allows readers to solve marketing ploys and dismiss certain statistics as faulty.…

    Railroads - do you know the banging sound really associated with trains and railroad? This is a basic example of thermal expansion compensation. The tracks are assembled so that the ends of two track sections are not touching each other. The gap in between allows the track to expand in heat (therefore the sound of train wheels rattling is louder in the winter when the gaps are bigger and less in the summer)…

    Once an intensity limit is chosen, “Serial monitor” tool would aid in determining what tempo should be defined as acceptable. This process involves the programmer to knock with various tempos and track the recorded value of the variable “diff” as it appears in serial plotter tool of the Arduino IDE. After numerous trials for obtaining a convenient tempo, one can find a range of values for the variable “diff” which corresponds to his/her chosen…
