THE STRUCTURE OF SILICON DIOXIDE Silicon Dioxide is commonly found in our daily lives- but what exactly is it? Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)‚ or Silica‚ is the most abundant compound of silicon found in the Earth’s crust‚ as well as a widely found oxide. Formed when silicon is exposed to the oxygen in the atmosphere‚ it is a giant covalent molecule with strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the adjacent non-metal oxygen and silicon atoms. Silicon Dioxide occurs in 13 different structural modifications

The power consumption for sending (or receiving) a single message in a mobile phone Abstract: We measure overall SMS‚ Whatapps and Wechat for the power consumption of a single message. These results are validated by overall power measurements of two other devices: the Battery Doctor and Battery Detective. We discuss the significance of the power drawn by the various length and time of texting messages‚ and identify the most promising areas to focus on for further improvements of power management

Strontium Manganese Oxide Introduction The ternary inter oxide SrMnO3 was first characterized by XRD by Negas and Roth []. This perovskite type inter oxide crystallizes in the hexagonal form with the space group P63/mmC(194). This inter oxide is of considerable interest to materials scientists owing to its ability to accommodate a high degree of anion vacancies‚ crystal structure and its high Neel Temperature (TN). It also exhibits polymorphism with two different cubic and hexagonal structures

government announced a framework to implement a Carbon Tax from July 1‚ 2012 has triggered an intense controversy among the Australian citizens. The term “Carbon tax” refers to an environmental tax that polluters will pay per ton of carbon they release into the atmosphere. This essay will argue that carbon taxes should not be introduced in Australia due to inefficacy‚ financial burdens and better actions to protect environment. First of all‚ implementing carbon taxes would not do anything to solve the
