Essays on Helium

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury is an acquired injury to the brain that results from an external blunt or penetrating force to the head while; intentional hypoxia is the loss of oxygen supply to the brain which leads to a continuum of injury severity. A review of current literature on this topic suggests that comparisons can be readily drawn between traumatic brain injury and hypoxic brain injury in a rehabilitation setting. Even so, diagnosis of hypoxic brain injury and traumatic brain injury is essential in providing guidance on decisions of treatment. Treating intentional hypoxia, however, involves an establishment of the desired ...

English astronomer W. Herschel discovered planetary nebulae in about 1783. Nebulae received the name "planetary" on account of their external similarity with the images of distant planets, light wheels of which are different from the point images of the stars. “A planetary nebula is a beautiful object created during the final stages of the life of a star whose birth mass was between 1 and 8 solar masses” (“Planetary Nebulae”). A planetary nebula is an astronomical object consisting of an ionized gas shell and the central star, a white dwarf. All planetary nebulae originate from stars that are in ...

Suicidal asphyxia refers to suicide by inhaling inert gases. Suicidal asphyxia with helium is used medically in the process of alleviating airway. Notably, the condition is used to prevent any sense of panic or suffocation (hypercapnic alarm response). The patient is deprived of oxygen, and the air is displaced wit carbon dioxide (Grassberger & Krauskopf, 2007, p. 325). The kind of death tends to be untraceable and give the autopsy expert hard time to reveal the cause of death. It is a form of death infliction that is used by thugs in ensuring investigations is misled. In contrast, accidental asphyxia ...

After almost 55 years since the first human flight into space, we have not yet developed space technology enough to settle in the neighboring planets and the moon, as expected by our ancestors. But in spite of the gradual and perhaps not such a rapid development of space technology, as we would like, the humanity moves progress forward and dreams about the cosmos. Every year mankind spends huge amount of manpower and resources for space programs, which are realized, forcing science and technology to move forward. And it's not a waste, but it's an investment in the future. Unfortunately, ...

This paper shall be trying to make an in-depth analysis of different types of supernovae that had been observed in universe and also the factors that cause them. Even though the paper does not go deeper into the technical aspects of observing supernovae and the characteristics of their each type, a significant amount of study has been conducted to make an understanding of how they are observed and the characteristics that make each ...

Compare the Biblical doctrine of creation with the 20th-century scientific explanation of the origins of the universe (e.g. the “Big Bang”). Your comparison should include some assessment of the ultimate compatibility or incompatibility of the two teachings In today’s world there are as of now two broadly acknowledged exploratory speculations clarifying how planet earth was shaped. Creationists trust that God made the sky and the earth, and that God said let there be light, and there was light. Creationists don't trust that arbitrary events of nature started the start of life as we probably am aware it. Creationists ...

Our solar system is one among many in the galaxy. It is made up of a superstar called the sun and all the planetary bodies revolving around the sun.

First, the Sun’s Core or innermost part, is tightly packed and with a temperature of about 1.5x107 K. It extends from the Sun’s center to the photosphere (that is, approximately 0.25 solar radius or 1.75x105 km). It is at the Sun’s Core that thermonuclear reactions occur because of the enormous temperature and pressures. Second, the Sun’s Radiation Zone or the middle interior part, where energy ...

Q1. Describe the three main layers of the Sun’s interior.

The three main layers of the Sun’s interior are the core, the radiative envelope and the connective envelope.

The core is the center of the Sun, with a density of 150 g/cc and a temperature of 15 million K. This is the region where high energy fusion reactions take place and energy is produced. The energy produced is mainly in the form neutrino and gamma rays, which are actually high energy protons which travel several light years and supply energy to the Earth and other planets. The energy produced in the core then radiates outwards through the radiative zone. The ...

Explain how the outward flow of energy from the Earth’s interior drives the process of plate Tectonics

All the earth processes are a result of energy flow and mass circulation in and outside of the earth system. Plate tectonics is an earth process that involves the movement of the lithosphere caused by internal processes inside the earth’s mantle (Kent C 154). This is as a result of convection currents within the earth’s crust caused by the heat in the crust. This heat in the crust is due to the initial heat during the earth’s formation and through the radioactive process. The earth’s core is made of radioactive elements such as uranium which decay and ...

1) Explain how the outward flow of energy from the Earth’s interior drives the process of plate tectonics?

The outermost layer of earth, or lithosphere, is broken up into tectonic plates. The boundaries of the plates and their movement leads to the formation of earthquakes, volcanic activity, creation of mountains, and the formation of oceanic trenches. Tectonic plates are formed from either oceanic crust or continental crust, with many containing both. The movement of the plates varies from 0-100mm in a given year. The movement of these plates comes from the outward energy of flow that comes from earth’s central core. Radioactivity produced from elements within earth’s core, such as uranium, decay and release energy. The ...

1) Explain how the outward flow of energy from the Earth’s interior drives the process of plate tectonics?

The earth’s composition consists of a crust, mantle and core. The earth’s core consists of elements like uranium which are radioactive. Due to the phenomenon of radioactivity, these elements decay and trigger a reaction. Because of this a large amount of energy is produced in the core and inner core of the earth. Because of this energy, the core of the earth is very hot and in a molten state. This heat is transferred from the core to the crust by the process convection currents formed in the molten core, creating a cycle of rising and falling of the molten material. This ...

2) There are justifications on the presence of the moon. Perhaps, collision-ejection theory of the moon gives an explains on the issues. The theory asserts that the moon exists due to the formation of debris ejected from the earth, especially when objects crushed. Collision-ejection theory claims that the newly formed earth collided with mars at an angle, which splashed the layers of the earth surface into the orbit around it. This implies that the Earth crust and mantle formed the moon though condensation. There are various facts on the moon that the theory is consistent with. Some of the ...

The variability of stars existing within our universe represents diversity and uniqueness. Humanity may not observe the whole life of a single star, however, techniques have been proposed to study the stars. We have different ways how to measure a star's temperature, age, and mass even, even though it seems impossible. The said variability of stars is key to the measurement of a star's characteristics. The existence of variable stars suggests that stars change on a time interval, unfortunately, too long humanity cannot observe. Nevertheless, humanity have developed a way of understanding the stars through their variability. Needless to say, variability provides unique ...

The debate on which between traditional education and home schooling is better is one that has been existent for as long as these two systems have been in place, and it does not seem about to end soon. There are a number of advantages to homeschooling and traditional education; however one seems to outweigh the other in some way. The bone of contention is whether the early years of childhood education should be done at home or in a school.

Traditional education can be defined as education of students that is done in a learning institution either in a public or private school. ...

X-ray Reading

X-ray Reading Figure 1 The patient in this x-ray image is centred with both lungs apices. The image has also captured the costophrenic angles but some of the bones are invisible in the picture. The reason some of the bone structures are invisible is because of poor reproduction. Additionally, the medial ends of clavicle are invincible thus it is impossible to assess rotation using this image. Another observation is that the trachea is patent and deviated to the right. The image also shows that the heart is deviated to the right. The heart of the patient has a ...

Stars begin their lives from molecular clouds or nebula of gases and dust. These gases and dusts exert forces to each other that make them want to move farther away from each other while at the same time there is gravity that attracts them together into a small space within the nebula. The chemistry which starts the star’s life begins when gravity starts winning in the war between the two aforementioned opposing forces. As gravity pulls the dust and clouds together it begins to accumulate mass and a swirling motion typical to a spinning disc. At its center are dusts (NH3, ...

Although Helium and Lithium only differ in one element, differ in their chemical and physical behavior. Helium is a noble gas which is found in group 18. Helium has only one electron shell which contains two electrons. The complete shell makes helium an inactive element and does not combine with other elements. Lithium, on the other hand, has three electrons meaning it has two shells. The first shell in lithium, has 2 electrons, and the second has only 1 electron. The second shell is not complete and therefore very active making lithium to combine readily with other elements. The free ...

The Sun has been with us for 4 billion years, and is the nearest star to the Earth. The Sun is comprised of about 74% of hydrogen, 25% of helium, and 1% of other elements. The surface of the Sun has a temperature of about 5800 K. The core of the Sun has a temperature ranging from 10 – 15 million Kelvin. This temperature range is high enough to activate nuclear fusion within the Sun. Here, four protons will fuse together to obtain a helium nucleus containing two protons and two neutrons via a proton-proton chain. The core of the ...

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and one of the four gas giants that belongs to the outer Solar System located beyond the asteroid belt. It is located approximately in slightly over 9.5 astronomical units or 885,904,700 miles from the Sun (Choi). Saturn’s name originates from Ancient Rome’s mythology and is a name of the god of agriculture, which corresponds to Cronus, a master of titans, in Greek mythology (Choi; “Saturn: Overview”). For this reason, many of the moons of the planet bear the names of the titans. Saturn also holds the fifth place among ...

The sun is about 864000 miles wide and filled with sweltering hot gases. Hydrogen is the most abundant element present in the Sun, composition of the Sun by its constituent mass is 71% hydrogen (H), 27% helium (He) and 2% other heavier elements. Inside the Sun the gravitational pull compresses the gases, and increase the temperature and pressure at the core. (CAIN, F., 2009) The temperature is about 10000°F on the surface and more than 28 million degrees Fahrenheit at the core of the sun. The pressure at the core of the sun is 250 billion times the ...

Blue supergiant stars are staller evolutions that have resulted over millions of years. Stars during the main sequence phase spend a majority of their lives. During the main sequence stage, the star converts hydrogen to helium by nuclear fusion in the cores of stars the process also known as proton-proton chain. After spending of hydrogen fuel, the star will collapse and heat up rapidly causing the outer layers to expand inwards. When the core is very hot, the energy spreads through the interior of the star’s large surface area. The different fusion rates of different elements vary wildly to ...

Sun plays crucial role in the life of the Earth. The entire organic world of our planet is obliged to the Sun for its existence. It is not only the source of light and heat, but also the original source of many other types of energy (oil, coal, water, wind). Since people appeared on the Earth, they began using the sun's energy. According to archaeological data, it is known that housing preference was given to quiet places, closed from the cold winds and open to the sun's rays. Perhaps the earliest known solar system can be considered the ...

This immigration phenomenon began just a few decades after the US declared independence. In the 19th century, these immigrants came mostly from Europe, influenced by push-pull factors that compelled these trans-Atlantic transits. Push for factors that forced the immigrants to leave their country of origin, and pull for positive factors the immigrants came for in a country. (Mason, 2010) Sociologists observed two "waves" of immigrants during the 19th century, those who came in the early 1800s or the "old" immigrants, and those that came in the latter 1800s to early 1900s, call the "new" immigrants. The Old immigrants are ...

Physics practical report: determining the range of a radiation and the energy content

Introduction Most of the radiations emitted by sources usually emanate from radioactive isotopes. These isotopes may be naturally radioactive or the emission may be induced by an external source of energy. Natural isotopes are mainly elements whose atomic mass exceeds 208. For this reason, the atomic size is very large creating an aspect of imbalance in charge within the atom. The highly positively charged nucleus does not feel the same magnitude of negative charge effect from the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus. This makes the nucleus to disintegrate naturally to release some energy as it scales down the ...

The term ‘nova’ is the Latin name for a new star and was first used in 1573 by Tycho Brahe, a Danish astronomer. No matter how bright a new star can be, its brightness lasts for a span of weeks and then fades to obscurity. A novae normally occurs in binary systems where a normal star transfers matter onto a white dwarf. One of the major processes that occur is the piling of hydrogen onto the dwarf an aspect that generates heat. The heating continues especially on the outer layer as the dwarf ignites in a runaway. This causes a thermonuclear reaction that blows off the accumulated hydrogen ...

Noble gas is any of 7 chemical elements, which make up group 18 (villa) of periodic table, are neon (Ne), helium (He), krypton (Kr), argon (Ar), radon (Rn), xenon (Xe), and ununoctium (Uon). Noble gases are tasteless, colorless, odorless, nonflammable gases. From the earliest time, they have actually been labeled as group O. This is because it was discovered that their atoms could not actually combine with the atoms of the other elements to form the chemical bonds. They were called inert or rare gases because they were thought to be chemically inert or to be exceedingly rare. However, ...

Abstract

Electrons of an atom exist in well defined energy levels which can jump to higher energy levels on absorbing thermal or electrical energy. The atomic absorption is subsequently followed by emission of light radiation. The wavelength of this emitted radiation is distinct and characteristic of every atom. With the help of a spectrometer the wavelength of these electromagnetic radiations can be visualized and measured. The emission lines in all other series for the atom can then be calculated using the Balmer-Rydberg equation. This establishes an inter-connection between the electronic transitions and the corresponding wavelengths which can be depicted in the ...

Introduction

Considered by film critiques as the funniest and yet the most provocative documentary film of 2008 is Bill Maher’s “Religulous”. The title itself is a combination of religion and ridiculous, implying an idea of religion’s ridicule and inconsistencies. Maher went to several places to interview Muslims, Jews, and Christians to find the unlikeliest believers in the possible. Maher wanted to prove a point that more and more Americans are becoming non-believers and point out the inconsistencies he found in the bible. However, this essay will not talk about the ridiculous characteristic of religion as Maher conveys in his documentary. ...

I think that leadership is the ability to inspire and enable a group of people to achieve a common goal. However, even as a good leader allows group members to contribute in their own ways, he or she still remains responsible and accountable for the group as a whole and for providing the group with the necessary guidance that will enable them to cope with the changes that may occur as they try to achieve their goal (Farid Dadashev,2007, http://mba.yale.edu/index.shtml).

That said, leadership is something that should be taken seriously. Although it can be adventurous and fun to be a leader, it should ...
