Once the juice arrived in the boiling house‚ it was contained in clarifying vats and lime was added. It was then boiled in cast iron "coppers" of diminishing size. The furiously hot liquid would be skimmed and ladled into the next smaller copper until it reached just the right consistency and was diverted to a wooden trough leading to wooden flats where it was allowed to cool. The slaves who mastered the boiling stage of the refining process were some of the most highly valued workers on a plantation

Introduction Water is necessary to life but it can be unhealthy too. In general‚ the water quality is poor in developing countries like Kenya. Water is a vector of diseases like yellow fever‚ diarrhea… Water purification is very important in these countries but people don’t have a lot of time to spare‚ they work or they are in the field and in general women must spend a significant amount of time walking to collect water. So we need to find a quick‚ easy‚ and economic solution that is as simple

The Soothing Sensation That is Bath Salts Introduction “Oh yeah‚ me and my girlfriend have a big bag of lavender bath salts sitting at home‚” was the initial reaction when I asked a fellow engineer to portray as a testimonial for our borderline inappropriate bath salts infomercial. Contrary to popular belief‚ this new synthetic drug is far away from producing any effects that are similar to that of a relaxing bath. Until recently‚ bath salts were popularized to be a “legal high.” In order to tip

This occurs because these forests are exposed to cold and warm air‚ which makes them encounter all four seasons. Temperatures in the deciduous are estimated to be up to 50°. They also have precipitation of 30 to 60 inches a year. One of the traits these trees have is thick bark that protects them from cold or really hot weather. Deciduous forests can be found everywhere

Can tegu lizards maintain an elevated body temperature during their reproductive season? Experiment: Dr. Glenn Tattersall and a team of researchers in Rio Claro‚ Brazil studied changes in the heart rate and body temperature of tegu lizards (Salvator merianae)‚ by implanting lizards bred in captivity with specialized electronic chips. One group of lizard lived in an entirely outdoor environment for one year. Three other groups that were subjected to alternating indoor and outdoor environments over

Purpose Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries‚ even when the surrounding temperature varies and is of higher or lower temperature than what is normal. The purpose of thermoregulation is to balance thermal inputs and thermal losses in the body so as to maintain a relatively constant core temperature of approximately 36.7 degrees celsius. If this was unable to take place the body may not be able to functions properly and it could result

determine how an excess amount of liquid‚ which was water‚ Gatorade and wine in this case‚ along with an excess amount of solute‚ which was the 7g NaCl pill‚ would affect the kidneys and the osmolarity of urine. Measurements of urine volume‚ specific gravity and chloride concentrations were recorded in order to investigate this. Our hypothesis stated that the volume of urine would increase for all groups other than the group drinking 80 ml of water along with taking a 7g. This portion of the hypothesis

My Science Project Can water float on water? My Prediction I predict that water can’t float on top of water. Simply because it sounds impossible‚ but it will be interesting to find out if however it is possible. The Experiment First‚ I found two 1litre bottles and marked one with ‘+ salt’ and the other with ‘fresh’. I then went on to add red food colouring to the fresh bottle and yellow to the + salt bottle. The reason for doing so was to establish which ones were which and see if they
