REDD+ is a current program that identifies some of the challenges facing forest protection within major African countries. The program aims at eradicating global warming and reducing greenhouse gases within the continent. Some of the primary challenges facing REDD+ are poor cooperation from member countries, inadequate land for reforestation, high demand for land for settlement, and more so, an increasing demand for timber and timber products.
Development of water infrastructure has increased utilization of water resources within the African continent over the last decade. Additionally, that program facilitates efficient ...

- Original Concept
“Last Man” was inspired by Frederic Brown’s (1948) “Knock”, which Brown based on the three-sentence short-short story written by Thomas Bailey Aldrich and is about the last man on Earth following the Zan’s annihilation of living things in the planet. The “Last Man” follows Isaac as the last man on earth who refuses to forget about his family that was since long gone. Brown’s work was an inspiration because the plot narrative, although brief, offered an opportunity to create a different take of the story. Film, as a medium, works best in the project ...

Experiment 5: Vectors and Static Equilibrium of Forces

INTRODUCTION:
In physics, the subject of statics deals with the description of conditions of force system that is necessary to maintain the state of equilibrium of engineering structure. When a body is in equilibrium, the resultant of all forces acting on it is zero. Main condition for static equilibrium is that the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body must be zero. In this report equilibrium was discussed by carrying out an experiment. For an analysis of a vector quantity like force vector operations like vector addition and subtraction are required and in this experiment this vector operation ...

What GPS is

As it often happens with high-tech projects, initiators of development and implementation of GPS (Global Positioning System) were the military. Project of satellite network for determining the coordinates in real time-mode and in any spot on the Earth was named NAVSTAR (Navigation signal timing and ranging), whereas the abbreviation GPS appeared later when the system was used not only for the purposes of defence, but also for civilian purposes (Howell). Today, GPS “provides accurate, continuous, world-wide, three-dimensional position and velocity information to users with the appropriate receiving equipment” (Kaplan, 3).

Vitrophyre Rhyolite in Valles Caldera

Vitrophyre Rhyolite is a type of igneous rock found in the Sante Fe and Valles Caldera areas of New Mexico (see map). Rhyolites are the extrusive equivalents of the plutonic rocks and hence the Rhyolite outcrops closely resemble granite formations. They are composed of high content of Silica and low in iron and magnesium. The Rhyolite melts are intensely polymerized and their lavas are very viscous. The Rhyolites are also known to occur in volcanic plugs and ...

Earthquakes are vibrations of the Earth that are caused by the rupture and sudden movement of rocks along faults or breaks within the earth's crust. The elastic-rebound theory is a model used to explain the origin of earthquakes. It illustrates the buildup of elastic strain from stresses within the earth's crust and the abrupt release of energy along faults as the rocks return or rebound to their initial state (Ristau 249; Hamblin and Christiansen 510). The point within the Earth where the earthquake's energy is generated by the initial slippage or movement is called the focus. The epicenter is the ...

Introduction

Ancient scholars discovered that the earth and universe are very old but many people take this for granted (Dr.Terry 2003). According to recent studies, the idea has been rejected since modern scholars have proved otherwise. The facts of earth being old was developed through geology but htis was opposed by scriptural geologists.The findings obtained then are very essential for not only understanding relationship of Christianity to science but also getting the educating students on current arguments creation,evolution ,social, spiritual and moral implications thereof.

1086F Origin and Geology of the Solar System

- Introduction
An exoplanet is a term used to describe a planet that is located outside the solar system that includes the Earth (exoplanet, 2013). Astronomer Peter van Kamp made the first announcement of the discovery of an exoplanet in 1963, however, that discovery failed to hold up over time and now has been conclusively disproved (Matson, 2013). The first exoplanet discovery that has stood the test of time was the discovery of two bodies orbiting a neutron star in a system named PSR 1257+12 (Wolszczan and Frail, 1992). Wolszczan and Frail calculated that the masses of these exoplanets would be ...

There are significant changes that occur to the behavior of these microbial communities after drilling takes place. It is indicated that drilling increases the level of fluids available in the microbial habitats. This in turn improves the conditions of survival and multiplication. Microbial communities are observed to increase significantly as a result of drilling and fluids increase in their habitats. There can also an indication that microbial communities’ composition is affected by the activities of drilling and ...

REPORT: Landscape Planning and Ecological Management: Plantation of bare root common trees.

Introduction
We often take trees and other flora, all around us, for granted maybe because almost all of us have seen trees and captured the word and their image deep inside our sub-consciousness. As we grow up, we learn about the benefits and advantages of trees parrot-fashion. No person or entity teaches us anything about the aesthetics so when we see captivating landscape photographs and images, we take in the beauty without taking in the trees. It is beyond this point that most of us change directions and go off towards modern, fast-process systems, which we then proceed ...

A volcano is a crack or opening in the Earth’s crust, which erupts, magma, lava and many hot gases present the Earth internal structure. A volcano is actually formed when the magma erupts from the Earth, and it forms a mountain on its surface, which becomes the crevice through which lava erupts every time. The Earth’s crust is about a few hundred kilometers thick below the Earth’s surface. It is made up of tectonic plates that are found to float upon magma, which is liquefied, ...

“Are We Doing Enough to Protect the Earth from Asteroid and Comet Impacts?”

Even though efforts are underway, much still need to be done to protect the earth from asteroid and comet impacts. The study of the impacts of asteroids and comets only began in 1980, and since then, only the U.S. government has funded the studies. Other governments have only expressed their concerns about the hazards of the asteroids and comets (especially those close to the earth, often referred to as Near Earth Objects or NEOs), but none has funded the surveys or the research.
Currently, astronomers are surveying the skies regularly to see if there are some large objects ...

Patterns of Surface Ocean Currents

Surface currents are found in the upper four hundred meters of an ocean body and they form major patterns such as eddies, upwelling, and gyres (Garrishon, 2007). Surface currents result from wind energy that is concentrated in both north and south hemispheres forming trade winds which are easterlies and westerlies (Garrishon, 2007). Waves on the sea surface transfer some of the energy from the moving air to the water by friction. Pulling of wind on the surface of ocean causes an accumulation of water with the water displaced underneath the wind forming the movement.

1.) CLIMATE CHANGE
I. Notes on the Situation
According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) climate change refers to changes in the Earth’s climate that have occurred over the course of its existence. Change to the climate occur as a result of “very small variations in the Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy” that reach the surface (NASA). A slight change in that energy can, for instance, result in the beginning or end of a period of extreme temperatures such as the ice age.
Over the last three hundred years, and especially ...

Introduction

Pollutant gases tend to have an impact on both health and environment. Many nations rely on oil for energy use and advancement, hence imports every last bit of its oil and gas needs. Unfortunately, this has brought about dangerous effects upon the environment such as affecting the ozone, causes global warming, acid rain and smog. This may come about when fossil fuels are burnt to form these gases. The formation of toxic gases and their harmful impacts on human health and environment as well as biological effects by thermal pollution that is equivalent to the burning processes are being ...

The theory of plate tectonics describes the wide­scale movements of the lithosphere of

the earth. The model is based on the ideas of continental drift, which first gained acceptance in
the early 1900s. The geoscientific community granted the theory even more validity after the
notion of seafloor spreading appeared in the late 1950s. Basically, the lithosphere is not whole
but instead is separated into either seven or eight major plates, depending on the definition that
you use. Every meeting point between plates has its own relative movement, either transform,
convergent or divergent. Volcanic activity, mountain creation and earthquakes all occur along
these edges, and the plates ...

Physics 11 Experiment 3: The acceleration due to gravity

Introduction
The free fall movement is not a steady movement because there is an action over the body due to the gravity or acceleration between two bodies with different mass. The moon and the earth exert an attraction force due to their two masses (University of Tennessee Knoxville). The planets of the solar system have an orbital movement around the sun thanks to attraction force due to the mass of the sun and the planets. All the particles and bodies in the universe attract them. There is a general equation that represents that phenomenon:
F = G*m1*m2/r2

Global Warming Phenomenon

The issue of global warming has been a critical problem across the entire world due to the effects associated with this condition. Global warming is caused by the increase in Earth's temperatures due to the effect of greenhouse gases. The greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emitted from burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas to provide energy are responsible for trapping heat and preventing it from escaping from the Earth’s atmosphere. Human activities like cutting down trees and burning forests for farming activities has been attributed to the emission of greenhouse gases that are ...

Abstract

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are a type of motors that have permanent magnets mounted on the rotors instead of the rotor windings. This particular design gives the motor a few advantages over ordinary induction synchronous motors. The magnets attached to the rotor do not require excitation, which reduces the power consumption in PMSM. This gives the motor high operational efficiency and reduces the motor active diameter. PMSM are therefore associated with applications that require high torque but have limited operation space. The permanent magnets suffer from flux leakage and are therefore aligned in a pattern that minimizes flux ...

Global warming is the gradual and continuous increase in the atmospheric temperature. In the nineteenth century, global warming was a mere prediction. Scientist would say that with time, the earth temperature will start to rise at a slow but continuous rate. Today, global warming is a practical experience. Studies indicate that the average atmospheric temperature increases with 0.06o Celsius, (Houghton 2009). This rate is so alarming that if nothing is done about it, the will be adversely affected. Various evidences of global warming are evidenced in the today. Increases in global temperature coupled with melting of the polar ice ...
