The Irish Potato Famine Have you ever thought that one day all of the potatoes could go bad? Unfortunately it’s true.The potato famine or known as the Great hunger was in Ireland until 1845-49. People of all ages were affected.Since the soil was poor‚ potatoes didn’t grow like they’re supposted to. The cause‚ a failure of the Irish potato crop due to an infestation of Phytophora infestans‚ a microscopic fungus‚ also called the potato blight.They think that the disease was brought him by an American

experiment is to study how enzyme activity is affected by environmental conditions. Researchers tested the level of potato extract enzyme activity with 1-11 pH‚ varying temperature‚ catechol solution‚ hydroquinone solution‚ and different measurements of catechol. In Figure 1A and 1B‚ pH levels were tested with potato extract to see how pH would affect the amount of Benzoquinone is formed in the potato. Although it was hypothesized that enzymes would form Benzoquinone better in acidic pH levels‚ the absorbency

Abstract— This thesis will analyze several similarity measures in a dental identification context. This identification will be based on a 3D scan of a patient’s skull and 2D radiographic images taken respectively post- and ante-mortem. This approach allows to circumvent the variable projection direction and/or incorrect patient positioning when capturing the classic 2D bitewing and periapical images. Three classes of experiments can be distinguished in this paper. First‚ there are the registrations

Dark Matter (Review) Dark Matter (Review) Kenneth Lathrom Kenneth Lathrom 6th Period Dark matter is the missing piece to the astronomical equation of galactic gravitation. Simply put it is the objects we do not know and cannot see that explain why the farthest planets don’t follow the “norm” and hurtle away from the center of their designated galaxy. Astrophycists have been looking for signs of these unseen particles. Having theorized that when two dark matter particles collide they
