Fukushima Power Plant Nuclear power plants now account for 14% of the world’s electricity supply [1]. These power plants differ only by the fuel used from oil coal or gas power plants. The concept is otherwise the same. Large nuclei become unstable when struck with a neutron‚ his causes it to split apart and also produce neutrons which are fire out. This then causes a chain reaction and other nuclei are split up. This splitting of nuclei is called nuclear fission and it provides heat which heats

1. The problem that is being tested by the researchers in this study is the effects of a low fat‚ plant based diet on participants in a multi-center corporation. More than half of Americans today are either overweight or obese and have an increased risk of type 2 diabetes‚ cardiovascular disease‚ hypertension and some cancers. The researchers wanted to test how a plant based diet will affect these factors in people in the workplace. They chose the work place because it is a place that people spend

the purpose was to have found out how different chemical solutions help or harm radish plant growth when the seeds of the radish plant are soaked in said solutions prior to planting. Background: The IRP project I am doing is based off the subject of seed germination. The seeds I will be planting are cherry belle radish seeds‚ freshly bought. Instead of planting the seeds in soil like it is normally done‚ the plant seeds will be placed on paper towels to grow for better observation of the roots‚ and

A plants volatile organic compound (VOC) composition is the hand that swats unwanted visitors‚ welcomes visitation from much needed pollinators‚ and the substantial determinant in a plants identity and overall evolutionary fitness within the plant community. Understanding the mechanics of volatile formation is essential in interpreting their importance in plant life‚ and in plant-animal interactions. A huge allocation of energy is assumed to be given to the production of volatiles‚ and is therefore

My Journey to the Plant World It has been 5 months since I’ve started studying Botany. This is not my first encounter to this subject. We’ve studied it when I was in High school. But I can say that there is a big difference between the Botany that time and the Botany that I’m taking up today. This is more on the detailed version of studying plants. Every bit of its structure‚ history‚ habitat and everything in between is being studied. And to be honest‚ this is more difficult and brain-draining

The Dulhasti Power Plant 1. o Harsh geographical conditions pose challenges to producing accurate cost estimations due to the unforeseen costs of supplying the area with adequate resources. For instance‚ the Dulhasti Power Plant is in a region that has inadequate infrastructure to support such a large undertaking. Rather than simply supplying the project with raw materials such as concrete‚ wood‚ stone and steel via trucking or railway it had to rely on said shipments to be brought in by aircraft
