city. The water from the Tiber river was dirty‚ and made the people sick‚ so the people decided to build aqueducts. In total‚ they built 11 aqueducts and together‚ they carried 200 million gallons of water into the city everyday. If you look at a Roman aqueduct‚ you would think it was straight‚ and you would wonder how were they able to move the water? The answer is that the aqueduct only needed a small change in slope for the water to flow down. The first aqueduct was called the Aqua Appia and was

Environmental Engineering is a discipline of engineering devoted to the development and application of scientific knowledge through technology to eliminate or minimize adverse effects associated with human activities. It operates at four different levels: remediation of contaminated sites‚ treatment of effluents‚ pollution prevention‚ and care for future generations. Environmental engineering is fundamentally object-focused‚ rather than tool-based. It therefore draws from all other engineering disciplines

Biology 2A 2/23/14 Genetic engineering is making changes in the DNA code of a living organism‚ working almost the same. It has many purposes including clones‚ perfect humans and cures for genetic diseases. Gel electrophoresis is a powerful tool used for separation and analysis of macromolecules and their fragments‚ based on their size and charge. You place the DNA in the gel. DNA is a long‚ strand-like molecule where genes are written in genetic code. Extracted enzymes recognize and extract the
