“Betta Fish are also called Siamese Fighting Fish. The name Betta is pronounced as the Greek letter beta, and because of this, the name is often misspelled in American English, with one t instead of two. ”1 In the tank it is most important for you not to put to of the male betta fish […]

Jeremy Cotto Purpose We did this lab to further our understanding of Spiny dogfish shark anatomy and make the class more entertaining. People dissect organisms to find reasons for how they are able to do certain things. For example, the shark can chew through a great variation of things, because it has razor sharp teeth. […]

The daughter of polar explorer, Sir Wally Herbert, Herbert spent the first few years of her life living on a remote island in the Arctic with the Inuit of Greenland. Her first language was Inuktun, the local language of Greenland. At the age of four Herbert accompanied her parents on a journey that took them […]

On one hand the writer describes the scene she sees in front of her a ‘glittering kingdom’ with evening light ‘turning butter-gold, glinting off man and whale’ suggesing an intense and exciting moment, yet, she ‘urged the narwhal to dive, to leave, to survive’ while the hunter was trying to hunt for the whale. Notice […]

Question 1. Write a short summary of the facts of the case. i. e. , what happened to the spelunkers. The facts of the case from judge Truepenny, C. J. The case of the Speluncean Explorers came about after five members of the Speluncean Society became trapped in a cave they were exploring after a […]

Railroads were once regarded as a reminder of a bygone era, before the advent of modern airplanes and widespread automobile ownership. Today, however, rising energy prices and environmental concerns have encouraged a railroad comeback around the world. Railway transport consumes 20 percent less energy than passenger and cargo ships and 60 percent less than automobiles, […]

What is Vortex Spinning? It can be seen as an improvement of jet spinning or a natural progression in fasciated yarn technology. Vortex is a completely new technology that uses compressed air’s vortex flow to spin yarn, resulting in a distinct type of yarn. In vortex yarn, similar to other fasciated yarns, the structure consists […]

Introduction In order to conduct a scientific study, you set a baseline then introduce changes in order to understand the impact of the change. Unfortunately, the rate of change, or clock speed, in many studies (human evolution as an example) is too slow for one person to have time to introduce multiple changes and measure […]

I am going to investigate the effects of changing the spinners speed on the drag. There are several variables that I could investigate to see their effects on the spinners drag. 1. Shape- I could alter the shape of the spinner 2. Size- I could investigate the effects on drag with different sizes of blade […]

Wind turbines utilize airfoils to capture the wind’s kinetic energy. The amount of air captured can vary depending on the variable being changed. A similarity between a blade and an airplane wing is their similar function. When the wind blows, both the downwind side of the blade and an airplane wing form a pocket of […]

Short track speed skating is an exciting, adrenalin filled sport having its own heart-stopping moments. The origins of the short track speed skating can be traced back to Canada and the United States. This type of skating first came into the picture in 1905. The first official competition took place in the year 1909. In […]

In the late 16th century, skating gained popularity as a leisure activity and competitive sport. A Scottish innovator created an innovative skate design with iron blades during this period. Skating and speed skating became popular due to the development of iron-bladed skates. The Skating Club of Edinburgh, established in 1642, was the first recorded skating […]

The origins of ice skating, including speed skating, can be traced back to Holland in the 13th century when it was used as a mode of transportation. Speed skaters aim to outperform one another by covering a specific distance while wearing ice skates. Speed skating is an elegant and fast-paced sport that occurs in a […]

Purpose: The goal of this lab was to determine the initial speed of the ball when it is launched out of the pipe. Our goal is to determine the optimal angle at which the ball will be launched for maximum range. Lastly, we predict and verify the range before launching the ball at a specific […]

The use of speed cameras has been widely adopted, especially in the developed countries. However, there are different points of view about whether they are really efficient as instruments for reducing the carnage on roads or whether they are just used as cash cows for federal and local governments (Blows 25). Speed cameras also have […]

Abstract California High-Speed Rail (CHSR) system is a mega project planned by the California High-Speed Rail Authority (CA HSRA), connecting the major metropolitan areas of California. The project finalized in mid-2000, is estimated to be one of the most expensive of its kind. It is in the lines of the high speed rail systems existing […]

The following are definitions of terms that will be used in relation to ARPA performance standards. 1. A target refers to any object, whether stationary or in motion, that can be located and tracked using radar measurements of its distance and direction. Relative Course indicates the direction in which a target is moving relative to […]

Although there is good road safety performance the number of people killed and injured on our roads remain unacceptably high. So the roads safety strategy was published or introduced to support the new casualty reduction targets. The road safety strategy includes all forms of invention based on the engineering, education and enforcement and recognizes that […]

The advanced technology helps us to communicate with others. High-speed electronic media, such as email and TV, gives us a lot of meaningful communications. These cutting-edge technologies are powerful to enhance our communication in many ways. If we use them properly, they are better than many other media in changing meaningful Information. We can find […]

The paper starts with the debate on the definition of Science. Stephen Jay Gould argues that science “is a fruitful mode of inquiry” and not a list of conclusions, and that the conclusions are the consequences, not the main idea. Gould is disappointed with the fact that people tend to mix theories from methods. He […]

There is a wealth of captivating myths and factual information about the origins of dinosaurs. The term “Dinosauria” is the scientific name for various creatures with different lifestyles. These reptilian beings, known as dinosaurs, lived on Earth around 165 million years ago in the Mesozoic era. They were a subgroup of archosaurs that also included […]

For many years, climate change was the most credible explanation for the dinosaurs’ demise. Dinosaurs thrived in the planet’s consistently humid, tropical climate. Yet, in the late Mesozoic Era that corresponds with the extinction of the dinosaurs, evidence shows that the planet slowly became cooler. Lower temperatures caused ice to form over the North and […]
