Absolute entropy is entropy calculated relative to the absolute reference point determined by the third law of thermodynamics. Absolute humidity (specific humidity or humidity ratio) is the mass of water vapor present in a unit mass of dry air; that is‚ it is the ratio of the mass of water vapor to the mass of dry air in atmospheric air. Absolute pressure is the actual pressure at a given position and it is measured relative to absolute vacuum (i.e.‚ absolute zero pressure). Throughout this

Sacred Balance‚ David Suzuki has attempted to overcome the doom fatigue’ so his ideas of conservation and environmental management do not become the monotonous endeavours of intimidation that many environmentalists employ. The extensive use of diagrams‚ quotes‚ anecdotes and statistics are utilised to create a holistic portrayal of our dependence on the environment‚ thus reinforcing Suzuki’s attitude that society needs to treat the planet as though it were sacred. While The Sacred Balance reveals

Homeostasis is a state of equilibrium that tends to be a main goal in many scenarios in living organisms‚ including those within the body. One of which includes the human body temperature which usually is around approximately thirty-seven degrees celsius or ninety-eight and six tenths degrees fahrenheit. This temperature is ideal for the human body because at this temperature it is not too warm as to where the body would have to continually eat and take in nutrients in order to maintain it’s metabolism

Acid in the human stomach When people refer to acid they usually see it as a corrosive liquid that can dissolve metals or change the color of a substance. So they think of acid as a dangerous matter for the body and believe it can easily dissolve your skin. What I have previously listed are indeed properties of certain acids‚ such as Hydrofluoric Acid which can cause irreversible tissue damage if it comes in contact with skin‚ but not all acids are this strong. As a matter of fact what a lot of

Class: DME2 Title: Flow Measurement Date: 11/02/2013 Lecturer: Mr Higgins Summary: In this experiment many different meters were used to measure fluid flow rate; the orifice plate‚ the venture meter‚ the rota meter and the weigh tank. Each meter works by its ability to alter a certain physical property of the flowing fluid and then allows this alteration to be measured. The measured alterations are linked directly to the flow rate and these measurements are subbed in to adjusted equations

Titration Lab How Much Citric Acid is in Your Soda? PURPOSE To determine the molarity (concentration) of citric acid (H3C6H5O7) in various different citrus flavored sodas. BACKGROUND PRINCIPLES Popular sodas all strive for a somewhat sour (’tart’) flavor and manufacturers utilize acids to impart this taste. While there are a vast variety of different brands of sodas on the market‚ they can be broken into two main categories: dark or clear. This differentiation is not only a simple color

and these comprise only 20 kinds of amino acids in various combinations. These 20 kinds of amino acids are essential to the body. In addition to being the materials for proteins‚ they are used as an energy source for the body as necessary. Further‚ each amino acid plays an important and unique role in the body. The list below shows the role of each amino acid. | Valine Leucine Isoleucine | All of these 3 amino acids are called branched chain amino acid(BCAAs). They perform the important functions
