1. On January 16‚ 1992‚ two agents from the United States Department of the Interior‚ Elliott and Dan Haas used a thermal imaging device to scan the home of Danny Lee Kyllo of Florence‚ OR. The device was known specifically as an Agema Thermovision 210 imager‚ which detected various levels of radiating heat. The two agents had suspected Kyllo of growing marijuana in his portion of the triplex he lived in due to information they had received from neighbors. At 3:20 am the men took several minutes

Introduction The Stateline Shipping and Transport Company is negotiating a shipping contract with Polychem. Polychem would like Stateline to pick up and transport their waste products from their six plants to three waste disposal sites. There is a possibility that using the plants and waste disposal sites as intermediate shipping points could lower the overall shipping costs. A Stateline manager is trying to determine the shipping routes that will minimize Stateline’s total cost and if it would

Write about the ways Tennyson tells the story in ‘Tithonus’ Tennyson tells the story of Tithonus with very mixed emotions. One minute he is in the depths of despair‚ and next confessing his desire for his lover. In Tithonus‚ a variety of techniques are used to show the narrator’s thoughts and feelings. One of the techniques involved is repetition. ‘Ay me! ay me!’ This repetition hints at how strong his despair is‚ slowly decaying but not dying as an immortal. The exclamation marks show that

Paragraph 1 FePO4 is distinct from other α-quartz isotypes because its A cation is a transition metal. It is studied at different temperature ranged from 294K to 1073K by neutron powder diffraction. At relatively low temperature‚ it adopts the structure of α-quartz‚ which is tetrahedral and shown below. At high pressures‚ a phase change occurs to a more dense octahedral structure‚ which is known as β-phase. The transition temperature is 980K. During the first-order transition‚ discontinuities

Lauren Seymour- Growth and Decay Procedure: For the growth part of this lab‚ we started with 4 M&M’s in the cup. We shook the cup and poured the M&M’s onto a napkin. Then‚ we counted the number of M&M’s that had the “M” facing up. Next we added a new M&M for each one that was facing up and continued this process until all of our M&Ms were used (11 trials). For the decay section of this lab we began with a full cup of M&Ms. We shook the cup and poured all of the M&M’s

Becquerel In 1896‚ Becquerel’s earlier work was surpassed by his discovery of the occurrence of natural radioactivity. Becquerel decided to investigate whether there was any connection between X-rays and naturally occurring phosphorescence‚ after his discussion with Henri Poincaré on the radiation which had been recently discovered by Röntgen (X-rays) and which was accompanied by a type of phosphorescence in the vacuum tube. He had inherited from his father a supply of uranium salts‚ which exhibits

In “Nuclear Waste”‚ Richard A. Muller‚ a professor of physics at the University of California at Berkeley‚ discusses the dangers of nuclear waste and criticizes how important figures are handling the situation. To put it another way‚ Muller’s main intention of this article is to inform any future president about the reality of nuclear waste and power by reinforcing the fact that nuclear waste is intractable. Besides‚ Muller points out that it is impractical to focus on the absolute containment of

Radiation Exposure Do you know much radiation you are exposed to everyday? Many people are not aware of the radiation levels around them on a daily basis. I believe that exposure to radiation should be minimal. I think protection and prevention is vital. Being aware of the health risks and what can be done to protect yourself should be a well known piece of knowledge. If followed‚ this knowledge can help reduce radiation exposure levels. Exposure to radiation is higher today than it has ever

Analysis of "Crumbling is not an instant’s Act" by Emily Dickinson 	"Crumbling is not an instant’s Act" is a lyric by Emily Dickinson. It tells how crumbling does not happen instantaneously; it is a gradual process occurring slowly and cumulatively over time. The structure of this poem is complex and it tied directly into the figurative meaning. This poem consists of three quatrains written in iamic meter but with no set number of feet per line. Also‚ the second
