The minute I woke up this morning I knew something felt strange. It was as if I was seventy pounds lighter! I felt as though there was nothing holding me down. When I opened my eyes and started to move‚ I realized I was not even lying on my bed. It seemed like I was floating. Immediately‚ I thought about being in space‚ and if this wasn’t just a dream how fun it would be! I thought too soon and it actually turned out to be a really bad day. Getting up was a struggle. There was nothing holding

Solar Desalination Plant In Cali When one hears about desalination‚ you think about maybe if you are stranded and there are no other drinking waters available‚ you make do with the salt water and desalinizing the water. But in places where water is hard to come by or there isn’t much rainfall year round‚ desalinizing wastewater into drinkable water is an alternative. Which is why California is planning on building a solar desalination plant in order to bring more freshwater for people in the Central

multiple therapy options. Radiation therapy has impacted many people’s lives just in the last few years. Cancer patients especially‚ have been given another chance at life through a few treatment rounds. In the past to remove cancerous tumors and small masses‚ surgery was the only option to improve those patients lives; with advances in technology and medicine‚ radiation therapy has become a very likely option for these patients. An option that helps improve their state of life‚ while not having the

Adaptive Radiation An example of adaptive radiation occurring after a mass extinction is the extinction that killed off the dinosaurs. What caused this mass extinction was when a massive comet hit earth‚ off the Yucatan Peninsula. However‚ the mammals that survived this catastrophic event for the most part‚ survived because they could burrow in holes for shelter. Regardless‚ about 90% of all life on earth was destroyed. This led to an opportunity for the surviving plants and animals to disperse

Applications of Radiation in the Field of Medicine Overview: With the discovery of radiation in the late 1800’s by Antoine Henri Becquerel‚ Marie Curie‚ and Pierre Curie‚ the powers of the atom were seemingly multiplied greatly. With this new power of the atom also came new uses for it‚ especially in the

Is there life on other planet? The life in the Earth was created long before‚ even before the existence of human being. For many years‚ scientists have been researching if there is any life on other planets‚ or the Earth is only the planet that consist life. There is no sufficient evidence to prove that life on other planet exists‚ however‚ scientists have found some evidence of life on other planets like water on moon‚ old fossil‚ evideince of having some mocroscopic organism.

The effect of mobile phone radiation on human health is the subject of recent interest and study‚ as a result of the enormous increase in mobile phone usage throughout the world (as of June 2009‚ there were more than 4.3 billion users worldwide). Mobile phones use electromagnetic in the microwave range. Other digital wireless systems‚ such as data communication networks‚ produce similar radiation. The WHO has classified mobile phone radiation on the IARC scale into Group 2B - possibly carcinogenic

The Value of Life The value of human life is still a mystery and we as a society is still trying to figure it out. During early times‚ life was not valued at all; people were being turned into slaves and treated like nothing. In today’s world many would base the value of life by our achievements‚ one’s past‚ or the salary one receives. This shouldn’t be the way we value one’s life. We as a society cannot assign a value on ones life. In today’s society‚ it can be said that we

INTRODUCTION Radiation‚ flow of atomic and subatomic particles and of waves‚ such as those that characterize heat rays‚ light rays‚ and X rays. All matter is constantly bombarded with radiation of both types from cosmic and terrestrial sources. This article delineates the properties and behaviour of radiation and the matter with which it interacts and describes how energy is transferred from radiation to its surroundings. Considerable attention is devoted to the consequences of such an energy

fundamental for plants in order for them to survive‚ so we can conclude that plants are an example of an autotroph. Heterotroph refers to the process of collecting energy by consuming substances/products like meats‚ fats‚ carbohydrates‚ fruits‚ etc. Humans are an example of heterotroph since they are the ones who perform this process in order to obtain energy. 2. Can heterotrophs survive without autotrophs? Explain. (1 point) No‚ heterotrophs can’t survive without autotrophs. Plants (autotrophs) like
