Water Quality and Contamination Research and its Importance Ursurla L. C. Waller SCI 207 Dependence of Man on the Environment Professor Wayne Davis 2014 September 20 Abstract This report analyses the ability of ordinary substances to pollute water sources‚ filtration techniques‚ as well as the quality of tap and bottled waters. This report discusses the availability of clean water sources‚ factors that affects the quality of water‚ agents of water contamination‚ and how the earth naturally filters

The Destructive Effects of Healthism Healthism places our primary importance in our personal wellbeing. It results in destructive effects on the American society‚ creating a hostile environment by reinforcing victim blaming. Healthism also reinforces longstanding prejudices which promote a false illusion that bases personal worth off of fitness and health. Rather than unify a culture‚ healthism creates division in American society. First‚ healthism fosters destructive tendencies toward society

Introduction Brasses are copper zinc alloys. It is a substitutional alloy. Brass has higher malleability than copper or zinc. In general‚ they have good strength and corrosion resistance‚ although their structure and properties are a function of zinc content. The relatively low melting point of brass (900 to 940°C‚ depending on composition) and its flow characteristics make it a relatively easy material to cast. By varying the proportions of copper and zinc‚ the properties of the brass can

Wood types differ considerably in properties such as color‚ density‚ and hardness‚ making timber a resource that is valuable in a wide variety of contexts. Each of the samples of commonly used woods shown here has distinctive characteristics. Mahogany is a tropical tree prized for its heavy‚ strong‚ easily worked wood. Hickory is a tough‚ hard wood used for tool handles‚ furniture‚ and smoke wood for meat. Instrument makers favor the strong‚ richly colored wood of the cherry tree. Yew is strong‚

Amethyst luster is vitreous‚ which means it shines like glass. The streak it makes is color white. When the rock is crushed it leaves a white powder. Amethyst has no cleavage and its fractures are conchoidal. The hardness is considered to be a 7 which is above average on Moh’s Hardness Scale‚ and will scratch glass. Amethyst may form in several types of rocks such as‚ igneous‚ metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. They may also be found in hydrothermal veins‚ metasomatic and hot spring deposits
