Contact Number: Personal Statement Throughout my professional career, many people have asked me the same question, “What motivates you?” My answer always begins in the same way, “When I was growing up, I never truly experienced childhood, or what most people would consider a ‘normal’ teenage life.” Through a series of compounded decisions by my family, at six years old, I started taking care of my younger brother and mother when it became apparent that she was mentally unstable and could not lead our family. I continued to care for my brother day and night in our small one ...

Introduction As we know, the “Critical Zone” is the zone that extends from the vegetation outer limits to the lower limits of groundwater. This zone is important for all life on the Earth. It provides most of the ecosystem services on which societies depend. In this case, erosion processes are dangerous enough for the Critical Zone and they must be timely identified.

Discussion

The erosion is a quite dangerous geological process, as it leads to rather unfortunate consequences (for example, structural failure, displacement, shrinkage of the foundation, and some others). This process leads to the destruction of the rocks (soils) ...

Hotspots are areas of a geographical location that has good resources that are endangered. The biodiversity of the earth are areas that have species that need that habitat to survive and not become instinct. The earth consumption is needed for growth, and to maintain supplies that come from these locations. For a geographical area to be considered as hotspot it had to have no less than 1500 plants that was nowhere else on earth. This situation would be these plants could become extinct or be endangered if that land was disturbed. The other fact that has to be present ...

The development of solar energy is based on a use of solar radiation for generation energy. Solar energy is the kinetic energy of the radiation (mainly light) formed by reactions in the solar interior. As its stocks are almost inexhaustible (astronomers counted that the Sun will “burn” some more millions of years), solar energy belongs to a renewable source of energy. In natural ecosystems, only a small part of the solar energy is absorbed by chlorophyll that contains in the leaves of plants and is used for photosynthesis, namely for the formation of organic matter from carbon dioxide and ...

ABSTRACT

Carbon dioxide emission in the United States rose by 7% between 1990 and 2013. Scientists have continually raised concern over the implications of these increased levels of carbon dioxide. Evidently, such high emission levels pose a threat to the environment and life in general. The aim of the following essay is to: define weathering and identify the major classifications of weathering. The essay also clearly defines and illustrates the relationship that exists between carbon dioxide levels and the rate of chemical weathering. I will incisively discuss the combination of water and atmospheric carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid. This ...

Abstract

The film Heaven and Earth (1990) is a historical film about the rivalry between daimyos Kagetora and Takeda in Japan. The film shows several dramatic battles in which Kagetora and Takeda took part. At the same time, there is no true view of the causes of the rivalry and the personal aspect of the battles is overestimated. Nevertheless, the film is based on many historical facts and especially the battles, in particular the tactics applied by the warlords, were shot professionally. Thus after watching the film Heaven and Earth the perception of the rivalry between Kagetora and Takeda may ...

What does the word environment mean to you? According to Oxford Dictionaries, environment means the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates. With that being said, what do we want for our environment in the far future? The environment is beautiful place to so many, so why are some people not helping to preserve it? All of these questions make one think about what the environment will be like for future generations. I believe that the future of the environment depends solely on how we treat it today. With all the new construction ...

Water is one of earth’s most abundant compounds. In fact, it is estimated that the earth’s surface is covered by more than 70% of water . And since water is one of the most essential compounds for human life, it is no surprise how water, specifically bottled water, have become one of the world’s most profitable industries (Miller, 2006, p.4). Unfortunately, most of the earth’s water resources are not readily accessible as more than 90% of which can be found in the seas and oceans while the remaining less than 10% would have to be tapped ...

There are several subglacial basins in East Antarctica but Lake Vostok is the most interesting for scientists, as its conditions are close to the ones on Europa – the Jupiter’s moon. So, the results of the exploration of Lake Vostok can shed light on one of the most important issues in astronomy – whether there could be living organisms somewhere besides Earth. The subglacial lakes are the subjects to low temperatures (nearly -3 degrees Celsius), high pressure (about 350 atmospheres) and constant darkness (montana.edu). When drilling, the scientists found out that the temperature of the air is -89 degrees Celsius ...

San Jose Municipal Water System, CA, buys treated surface water from the Santa Clara Valley Water District that imports water chiefly from San Luis Reservoir, Lake Del Valle and South Bay Aqueduct (Water Supply, 2016). It also buys treated water and Hetch Hetchy water from San Francisco Public Utilities Commission that gets its water supply from Hetch Hetchy Watershed. San Jose Municipal Water System is run by City of San José, Great Oaks Water Company, and San Jose Water Company. Although the water ...

The increase in the average temperature of the earth's surface due to various greenhouse gases like Carbon dioxide emissions from deforestation or burning of fossil fuels due to which heat is trapped in the earth's atmosphere is called Global warming. Without this greenhouse effect, the heat would have escaped from earth's atmosphere. Micro-organisms that are found in the soil are very important for sustaining many ecological processes like nutrient cycling, the transformation of metals and decaying of plant matter. Soil micro-organisms contribute a lot to the consumption and production of greenhouse gases like methane, nitric oxide and Carbon dioxide ...

Land changing is a major activity of how people are believed to be civilized. Since the beginning, very many years have passed and some people have converted the natural landscape which is the area having many people. Motivations which are typical for the change in land are the cultivation, the occupation and also other cultural and the economic pursuits. All through the time the earth’s surface has been the mosaic of the natural and also the culture landscape. Every path of this mosaic, forms part of a very diverse and also the interconnected sets of the landscapes which ...

Generation of electrical power through solar technology involves the conversion of energy in the sun’s radiation into electricity. The sun emits electromagnetic radiation which contains energy in the form of photons. Solar panels harvest this energy and convert it to electricity though a phenomenon referred to as the photovoltaic effect. A solar panel is made up interconnected solar cells, which are in turn fabricated from millions of light sensitive p-n junction diodes. The diodes are made from doped semiconductor materials such as crystalline silicon. Doping silicon with an impurity such as phosphorous introduces charge carries referred to as ...

The third important topic is courage as well as integrity of the protagonist of the film who is Blade Runner and has the task of hunting down and executing replicants, ...

Human beings respond very differently to disaster, whether its occurrence is natural or is induced by man. Natural disasters occur as a result of the dynamic nature of life and processes on earth and are not influenced by man’s activities altogether (Ragheb 1). Actually, the occurrence of natural disasters is totally out of human control. Examples of natural disasters may include floods, earthquakes and land and mudslides (Ragheb 2). Human-induced disasters occur as a result of the implications of man’s activities on the face of the earth for which man has control (Ragheb 52). Man-made disasters are ...

Questionnaire

<Institutional Affiliation> The main reason why theories are created is that they tend to explain a fact or a phenomena using suggested ideas that are based on principles. Landing to the moon is an activity that was practiced and witnessed by human beings. Therefore, no theory is needed whatsoever to explain the event. The speed to be measured is that of wind. The materials needed are: four cups whose shapes are hemispherical, and a spindle. The cups are attached to the spindle and the spindle vertically mounted on the ground, in such a way that the cups are ...

The term ‘worldview’ simply refers to an individual’s perception of the world around him, which is often based on the existing knowledge that he has accumulated over the years. As observed by scholars, people do not possess a ‘tabula rasa’ or blank mind when it comes to the natural world around them since they have their own opinion and values as shaped by their “socio-cultural environment or from previous educational experiences”.

A brief history of space travel In many ways the todays advances in space travel came into fruition by accident. During World War II the Nazi’s create and implement rockets as weapons against the British. These rockets flew over 3,500 miles per hour and had an arch of 60 miles high. (A Brief History, n.d). Following WWII, the Soviet Union began creating their own missile program (A Brief History, n.d). By 1957 the Soviet Union had launched Sputnik 1, the first satellite into space. They followed this up four years later by having Russian Lieutenant Yuri Gagarin ...

Introduction

The current debate over the teaching on Universal Salvation did not come from a new Christian teaching but from an argument on issues seen in the old one. Outside the ancient Christian Church, however, the first attention to this teaching perhaps came from Hosea Ballou, an American pastor who co-founded the first Universalist church in the United States and later on attributed as the father of the American Universalism. He wrote in 1892 a book, which chronicled the history of universalism up to A.D. 553. The debate heated up when an evangelical philosopher, Thomas Talbott, who wrote in 1995 ...

Introduction

Environmental degradation is not uncommon. In fact, it is one of the most talked about topic in international conventions and forums. Apparently, the degradation of the environment is not only a local concern. Environmental problems such as climate change, deforestation, pollution and many others are perpetrated in a local and national level and yet it has global ramifications. However, despite the fact that there are international agencies that creates environmental policies, the effectiveness of these policies and regulations largely depend on the propensity of a particular nation to implement it. The nation’s territorial powers and sovereignty make it ...

Nobody likes losing things, but the outcome of any loss can always be measured on a basis of what is remaining. The loss of species from the Earth is important humanity, but the impact can only be realized if a view in proportional terms and from perspectives of what is remaining is considered. To estimate the importance of the current extinction rates, it is important to appraise the number of species that occupy the earth’s surface. Among the most surprising things about science is the little information we have. It is amusing that one can assume that biologists ...

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has played a central role in space technologies and research. Over the years, NASA has taken lead in space exploration through technological development. However, this adventure has cost the agency millions of pound due to the expensive costs of equipment and energy needed to propel space shuttles into space. The agency uses millions of gallons of fuel to provide the energy for space transportation. NASA spends $10,000 to put a pound of payload in the orbit of the Earth (Katayama, 2002). The high cost of transportation and unreliability has put pressure ...

The Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment are best understood as conflicts between faith and reason. This statement is accurate because this time period began the separation of church and state and opened the floodgates for science to begin to become more important in society in the future. While it took some time for science and religion to completely separate, and it did not happen until much later, the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment were extremely important because they created the conflict in the first place. While this time did not completely separate reason and faith, it began to encourage people ...

In story “The Law of Life”, Jack London seeks to identify the law of life, which to him seems to be eternal. The life set one law: “To perpetuate was the task of life, its law was death” (London, “The Law of Life”). This is a story full of the influence of naturalism, Darwinism and philosophy. This is a story about the old chief, who was left by the tribe to die at a fading fire, because the famine forced the Indians to rush to the places where more food is available. For the tribe, the sick old man ...

1 Copernicus model was an improvement of the previous cultural belief of a sun-centered solar system defined by Aristotle. He generated a theory that the earth spins once daily on its axis and always revolves around the sun. He claimed that the sun is at the center of the earth, and all the planets are organized in orbits all around the sun. This model was a revolutionary in the in that it helped understand the organization of the planets, the sun, and earth (Cunningham 89). The belief had been in use for up to one hundred years when the ...

Article Summary and Analysis

In this article, White explores the concepts and logic behind making of horror films. He explains that the concepts used to describe horror films might not be enough to explain the horror itself or the manner in which filmmakers produce the desired horror effect. This does not mean that horror films are merely a sum of the various concepts used in making them. Rather, horror films derive their identities from the combination of the pieces from which they are constructed and the nature of the manner in which the various pieces are combined to cause the desired effect (White, ...

Introduction

Over time, there has been increasing interest in culturally responsive teaching that grew since the late 1980’s and the early 1990s primarily because of the increasing diversity in the country’s classrooms. This is coupled with the concern over the low rate of success by the many racial and ethnic minority students despite numerous years of reforms in the education fields. The ongoing reform of the Native American education is further influenced by the fact that after years of population decline to the historic low of around 237,000 members in the year 1900 the American Indian populations ...

Introduction

The world never saw a rainbow until long after most of the Gods on Olympus and the heroes of the land were tales told by grandmothers to the eager faces of their grandbabies looking through sparkling eyes looking at the old but still beautiful face of Chloe. Her strong but soft voice filled the quiet room aglow with the golden and orange light from the warm crackling fire at the hearth in the main room of the small but clean and welcoming house on the hill along the cliffs overlooking the Aegean Sea. Chloe loved telling these old tales ...

Mysticism is a feeling like no other that is very important and personal so not all of the experiences occurring are reported in any formal location. The exception to this is the archives of the Religious Experience Research Center (RERC) which houses about three thousand reports from mostly women who have reports of a mystical experience. During an unsolicited mystic experience many reports contain the loss of self and a bright light. The light appears to be a constant in the mystic experience if we define it as an experience that transcends the natural life everyday type of experiences. ...

INTRODUCTION TO GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Q1.

GIS has been given several meanings over the years in various disciplines and areas of study. Interestingly, all these definitions of GIS attest to the uniqueness of spatial data since geographic locale is an essential peculiarity of strategies, plans, policies, and activities. Below is a sum up definition: GIS can be defined as a computer-based methodology and technology used to collect, analyze, model, manage, and present geographical information or data for a vast dimension of applications (Tyler pg. 210)

The Shinto religion forms an important part of the Japanese culture. It should be noted that the Shinto religion is the only religion that is truly a polytheistic religion, even more so than Hinduism and Taoism. This is because the other religions have multiple expressions of One Supreme Being, but Shinto is a religion that focuses on the worship of multiple deities in an atmosphere of joyous celebration. However, some academics argue that the Shinto religion has several features that make it appear under-developed compared to other countries. However, this religion is still fortunate to ...

What might comets and/or meteors have had that might have "seeded" life in the oceans?

It has been scientifically proven that life in the oceans might have been seeded by comets or meteors since they bodily masses were in existence before the formation of earth and they carried many things within their form. In addition, comets exhibit a very high speed, which has the potential of causing destruction, on like in this case, the ability to make life on the planet. The seeding of life in the oceans as related to the comets makes a perfect sense considering a theory where the comets hit the earth’s surface (Erickson, and Timothy 32). Indeed, an ...

The Book of Revelation has yielded different interpretive possibilities for just about as long as there have been theologians around to read and explain it. This is a book that is filled with mysteries, whether it is the identity of the four apocalyptic horsemen who are supposed to usher in the judgment of God, the timing of the rising of people from the dead for that judgment, and whether Jesus Christ returns before the tribulation of the believers or after -- or whether the 1,000-year reign that the book discusses is literal or figurative in nature. After all, ...

Third Grade Students

For teaching third grade students, I would use games in order to introduce the concept of renewable energy. Teaching the concept of renewable energy to most people could be a hard task especially when individuals have little knowledge about its importance. For third grade students, they should have the idea about the sources of stored energy such as fuel, batteries and food (Aquarium of the Pacific 1). They also have the idea about the concept of converting energy into many forms. For example, energy from the sun or solar energy could be converted into stored energy using photosynthesis. The ...

Water is essential for human life. According to scientists, water has unique chemical properties that support the basic processes of the human body, which is essential for human existence. In fact, without water, no organic organism would be able to thrive. At an average, the human body is, more or less, 60% water while 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. It is ironic though that despite the abundance of water, access to clean and potable water is still a global concern. Most of the earth’s water resources, for instance, are found trapped ...
