The Fridge: A Blessing‚ or an Illusion of comfort? Before the age of the fridge‚ leftovers during the summer usually meant a waste of money and food‚ no matter how much was left over. After the fridge was invented‚ people who could afford such a device knew they were given a blessing that would not only save their money‚ but also cause them less stress- or at least they thought so. Does the fridge really give us all that we believe it provides? Or is the fridge just an illusion reflecting what

They’re stale and dry but decent enough to make it through the day. Although the night seems more relaxing‚ I try to sleep comfortably but the rifle bullets and bomb explosions echoes through my head as if they were real. And they were. A terror place in which no man would gladly step on has become the

By processes that are still not completely clear‚ but involve cooling of the cloud-center with the formation of molecules‚ and the squeezing of the cloud by outside starlight or perhaps astellar explosion‚ the cloud begins to collapse under its own self-gravity.

Chemistry of Fireworks The sights and sounds of each explosion are the result of several chemical reactions – oxidations and reductions – taking place within the firework as it ascends into the sky. Oxidizers produce the oxygen gas required to burn the mixture of reducing agents and to excite the atoms of the light-emitting compounds. Various oxidizers are used in both the black powder and the stars. The most commonly used oxidizers are nitrates‚ chlorates‚ and perchlorates

MINING By Andrea Osorno THE 33 MINERS IN CHILE The collapse of the gold and copper mine San José (Saint Joseph) that maintained trapped during 10 weeks at 33 miners 700 meters below surface area has definitely grabbed the attention of the general public on the security and labor conditions of the active mines that currently operate in Chile. For the last 30 years‚ the mining industry in Chile‚ which represents over 40 per cent of their gross domestic

The substance that Albert Ghiorso and his co-workers studied was collected on filter paper by drone airplanes which flew through the radioactive explosion clouds. When they studied the substance on the filter paper‚ they had actually discovered einsteinium253: an isotope of einsteinium. There are approximately

If the blowout preventer was tested and appeared “functional”‚ how can the explosion in the rig be explained? Was sufficient testing done or was this influenced by the already behind-scheduled project? * After already flying in a crew to conduct the required cement bong log test‚ how safe did it find the cement binding to be? Did this test influence the cancellation of the recommended test on the day of the explosion? * What was the reasoning behind cancelling the test if it would only cost

This stress causes the meteor to release most of its kinetic energy through this cataract of explosions quickly. During this occurrence‚ the seismic shock produced by the air burst measured 2.7 on the Richter scale. A statement from the University of Western Ontario indicated that the blast triggered by the meteor was equal to 470 kilotons of TNT
