Today‚ I’m going to explain how aerogel (otherwise known as frozen smoke) is so unique to any other known materials in the world. An aerogel is a synthetic porous ultra-light material derived from a gel‚ in which the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with a gas. The result is a solid with extremely low density and thermal conductivity. Nicknames include "frozen smoke"‚ "solid smoke"‚ "solid air" or "blue smoke" owing to its translucent nature and the way light scatters in the material;

Compounds That Compose the Human Body There are five major groups of compounds that compose the human body. They are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ nucleotides‚ and water. These are all very important to humans and without them we would not be able to survive. They have many functions that encourage a human cell and a human body to function. Carbohydrates include sugars and starches‚ contain carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen which appears in a ratio of 1:2:1. Carbohydrates are classified

Simulated thermoregulation in endotherms and ectotherms Chris Prestridge Shippensburg University 17 October 2012 Objectives: * To determine the effects of fat and/or fur on the thermal conductance of endotherms with a decreasing environmental temperature * To determine the effects of glycerol‚ antifreeze‚ and various concentrations of saline on freezing point depression Null hypotheses: * Fat and fur have no direct relationship with thermal conductance. * Glycerol‚ antifreeze

Structure and function of macromolecules within a living organism ‘Some biological molecules in organisms are small and simple containing only one or a few functional groups‚ others are large‚ complex assemblies called macromolecules’ [1]. The term macromolecule is convenient because the bulk properties of a macromolecule differ from those of smaller molecules. These large chemical compounds have a high molecular weight consisting of a number of structural units linked together by covalent

disaster occurred minutes before Columbia was scheduled to land at Florida’s Kennedy Space Center. An investigation later determined the catastrophe was caused by a problem that took place shortly after launch on January 16‚ when a piece of foam insulation broke off from the shuttle’s propellant tank and damaged the edge of the shuttle’s left wing. The Columbia disaster was the second major tragedy in the history of the space shuttle program after the space shuttle Challenger broke apart shortly after

Chapter 1 Introduction 1. Introduction 1.1EXHAUST SILENCERS Engine exhaust noise is controlled through the use of silencers and mufflers. Generally speaking‚ there is no technical distinction between a silencer and muffler and the terms are frequently used interchangeably. A silencer has been the traditional name for noise attenuation devices‚ while a muffler is smaller‚ mass-produced device designed to reduce engine exhaust noise. 1.2 SILENCER SELECTION FACTORS The use of an exhaust silencer is

have the ability to control our choices therefore we control the consequences. If we can make the right choices in energy efficiency then we can achieve the right outcome. Imagine a project for the entire island introducing a more efficient use of insulation‚ not only would we attain cooler conditions indoors but we would substantially lower the use of energy and our bill towards that. A utopia of efficient energy uses is not far from sight‚ it is possible by acknowledging the problem‚ making a choice

thick. Polar bears have excellent underwater vision. They can spot food up to 15 feet away. They have sharp claws and teeth to eat prey Their ears have small surface area compared to body‚ reduces heat loss Thick white fur for camouflage and insulation Long legs for running to catch prey Brown Bears: They have thick insulating coats and tend to be large which helps them to keep their body heat They hibernate during winter. They have sharp claws and teeth which help them attack their prey
