multiple aspects such as meteorological‚ sociological‚ political‚ ethnographic‚ political‚ and journalistic aspects to explain the Heat Wave of 1995 in Chicago. My preliminary diagnoses of the cause of the high death rate would be that the heat wave worsened the health of Chicagoans who were already diagnosed with serious health conditions. The author poses a question that the heat wave may have affected the individuals who were already stricken with a disease. These individuals include African Americans

Heat resistance of endospores of Bacillus pumilus Abstract Spore suspension of Bacillus pumilus was inoculated into universal bottles containing sterile distilled water in water baths at temperatures of 85°C‚ 90°C and 95°C. At specific time intervals‚ a sample was removed and spread on nutrient agar plates. The number of colonies formed was used to determine the D-value and z-value. The D-value for 85°C is 64.1 minutes‚ 25.7 minutes for 90°C and 8.2 minutes for 95°C while the z-value is 11

Aerobic Treatment In the biological process‚ if the micro organisms (aerobes) use free or dissolved oxygen for the degradation of organic wastes‚ it is named as aerobic treatment. The availability of the oxygen for the working of aerobes as an electron acceptor accelerates the biodegradation significantly and maximized the treatment system capacity. Factors influence on treatment process The microorganisms and their growth are the driving force for the degradation process. To achieve a high rate

Allusion: Henry didn’t mind sitting in the back of the bus. But for some reason Sheldon seemed to resent it. Grousing once in a while about how this was the Northwest and not the Deep South and the bus driver had had no business jerking his thumb toward the back of the bus when he and Henry boarded. Page 214 |Explanation: Henry and Sheldon are heading out to meet Keiko at the new camp and are told to go to the back of the bus by the bus driver. Though Henry is fine with this Sheldon complains

Purpose: To find out the densities and to find out the name of the unknown metals. (Based on the extensive and intensive properties) Check up the words mass‚ volume‚ density‚ extensive properties‚ and intensive properties. Where do the units for mass and volume) come from and what do they mean? What is the density of distilled water? What is Archimedes principle? Does temperature affect the density of a solid? Liquid? Gas? Materials: Safety glasses‚ 10‚ 25 or 50 mL graduated cylinders

Toxicology Lab 1. In this investigation‚ a wide range of concentrations of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) solution were created and the effects that they had on radish seeds were tested. This ultimately created a doseresponse experiment in which it was detectable whether or not radish seeds were a reliable bioassay for the toxicity of NaCl. The goal of this experiment was to determine a correlation between toxicity and seed germination/radicle

geothermal heat pump The Direct exchange geothermal heat pump is the oldest type of geothermal heat pump technology. It is also the simplest and easiest to understand. The ground-coupling is achieved through a single loop circulating refrigerant in direct thermal contact with the ground (as opposed to a combination of a refrigerant loop and a water loop). The refrigerant leaves the heat pump appliance cabinet‚ circulates through a loop of copper tube buried underground‚ and exchanges heat with the
