Plants need water for photosynthesis but they take in water through their roots so they need to transport the water up the stem to the leaves. Water is taken in by the root hairs because there is a higher water potential in the soil than in the root hairs. Then osmosis occurs to move the water from a cell with high concentration of water to a cell with low concentration through the permeable membrane. Once the water has moved down the concentration gradient it reaches a vessel called a xylem. As

Diesel Power Plant Figure shows the arrangements of the engine and its auxiliaries in a diesel power plant. The major components of the plant are: a) Engine Engine is the heart of a diesel power plant. Engine is directly connected through a gear box to the generator. Generally two-stroke engines are used for power generation. Now a days‚ advanced super & turbo charged high speed engines are available for power production. b) Air supply system Air inlet is arranged outside

In 2009 President Obama said to the nation’s students‚ “Maybe you could be a mayor or a Senator or a Supreme Court Justice‚ but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team”(Obama 2009). One of the most pressing issues in America is the decreasing academic performance of urban schools. Students in urban schools are not achieving as much as their suburban counterparts and educators have very few ways to motivate students to do better. While there are many issues

PHY 114: General Physics Laboratory Lab 1: Absorption of Nuclear Radiation 09/04/13 Abstract Nuclear physics was practiced to find the value of tau. After 8 trials of using a G-M counter and 8 different mass thicknesses of polyethylene‚ a graph was formed and tau was calculated to be 0.1931 cm^2/g‚ an error of 3.57% from the accepted value of 0.2 cm^2/g. Experiment was also used as an intro to using basic lab equipment‚ computer programs and calculating errors. With many different

PLANT LOCATION PUZZLE BY AJAY SHARMA GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT DR. BURAK KAZAZ GSB - 486 Problem: This particular case study deals with a bicycle manufacturer named The Eldora Company (EDC). It is faced with a situation where it has prospered in the local marketplace but is suffering from stagnant growth potential. Much of their problem is due to heavy low-cost competition and a saturated marketplace. Management is therefore burdened with the decision to manufacture offshore (i
