Essays on Ice

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 ...

In the early 20th century, there were hopes for a new, modern and developed era. With the development of industry, machinery and shipbuilding, people were waiting for something better and convenient for their life. Passenger liners to the "New world" were built together with people's hope for a new life. When the new liner appears, moreover with a reputation of being unsinkable, it is impossible that there would be such an unfair end.

"Unsinkable" Titanic – the ship that defied the higher powers, the miracle of shipbuilding and the largest ship of its time. The builders and owners of the ...

Sherwin Bitsui experimental and daring poem “At Deer Springs” is a fascinating work of lyrical and poetic innovation and dreamlike wordplay:

“Turn signals blink through ice in the skin.Snake dreams uncoil,

burrow into the spine of books.Night spills from cracked eggs.Thin hands vein oars in a canyon bed.We follow deer tracks back to the insertion of her tongue.” The topic with which I choose to examine this poem is the conflict between nature and technology. I understand this topic to include issues as vast as the modern human experience in a globalized world, anxiety at the death of the kind of holistic, natural lifestyle that the Native Americans hold ...

Differences between Quantitative and Qualitative Research Quantitative and qualitative researches differ in their approach to the nature of phenomenon they study. Quantitative research is based on the measurement of quantity or amount and is applicable to phenomena that can be expressed in terms of quantity. On the other hand, qualitative research is concerned with qualitative phenomena, and is concerned about discovering the underlying motives and desires of the subjects (Kothari, 2004, p.3). Qualitative research studies smaller groups that are not randomly selected, while quantitative research studies larger and randomly selected groups. Qualitative research is holistic, looking at the big ...

In addition to their important roles in natural environ- ments, microbial enzymes can be highly specific in their activity and thus are increasingly useful in industrial applications. Enzymes from aquatic bacteria adapted to moderate and high temperatures have already figured in a variety of applications, including polymerase chain reac- tion (PCR), laundry detergents, protein recovery and organic synthesis (e.g. Mullis and Faloona, 1987; Adams and Kelly, 1995). Although enzymes with optimal activity at cold temperatures have been understudied compared with their heat-stable counterparts, increasing attention is being paid to cold-active enzymes as potential applica- tions are revealed Enzymes are ...

Possible Changes at the Societal and Professional Levels

Abstract Global warming is no doubt the the greatest and most far reaching societal and professional long term threat to every end of human livelihood. Agriculture is quickly growing into one of the biggest producers of greenhouse gases. And therefore, global warming. The recent development of industrial farming has exasperated the amount of methane and nitrous oxide gases being released into the atmosphere. This has been done under the pressure of many different stimuli, including government lobbyists and stimuli, and companies like Monsanto. Indifference and lack of public education has ensured that this remains a problem for the immediate ...

Peaceful acquisition is a process in which one company takes over the management of another company without physical or moral violence . Through the use of tactics that are “peaceful” nor not forcible, Unilever like to take pride in the fact that shareholders are well compensated in any acquisition and two members of the acquired company must sit on the board of Unilever. All employees and facilities are assumed, or by offering pensions and buy outs, in the acquisitions so the loss of jobs and vitality to the are of production is usually not lost.

The American Association of Advertising Agencies defines Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) as a method of achieving marketing objectives through integrating various promotional techniques like advertising, personal selling, public relations and communication (Integrated Marketing Communications, 2016). This calls for business organizations to give customers something beyond advertising. With average customers exposed to various advertisement messages for a same product, a single message of a particular brand finds it difficult to establish a noteworthy effect in the minds of customers. Therefore, a shift to IMC approach gives marketers a competitive advantage in the light of increased customer awareness about various advertising ...

Abstract

Today, global warming is very serious and demands our immediate attention. Unfortunately, due to gradual climate change, not all people see the problem as one that requires intervention. Global warming caused by the greenhouse effect. This effect arises from the growth of carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere, which are greenhouse gases. These gases let the sun rays inside the atmosphere and detain them there, thus gradually heating the earth surface and the oceans. In fact, all life on earth and warm, are due to the greenhouse effect itself. Because thanks to it, our planet maintains the required ...

Introduction

Sport is one of the recognized means of promoting individual and communal health and wellness. However, the goal of deaf sports goes beyond this simple understanding to a more sophisticated form of social interaction. It is estimated that “one in every 1000 children” possess acute hearing loss at birth (Hopper). The diminished hearing capability during the formative years considerably hampers the acquisition of speech and language skills in individuals. Thus, the majority of deaf people exhibit stunted growth in cognitive, social and academic levels. This scenario changed radically with the advent and extensive adoption of deaf sports across the ...

There is a relationship between volcanic eruption and the climate of a place. After the eruption, the poisonous sulphur dioxide which is emitted out as a volcanic product, reacts and get oxidized to form sulphate aerosols in the stratosphere, hence affecting the climate adversely (Forster 2007). Volcanic ashes and particles having diameter larger than 2 um also affects the atmosphere. According to Ramaswamy (1996), ozone depletion results when the volcanic aerosols react with the balanced chemistry in the stratosphere. Mid and high latitudes volcanic eruptions create drastic climatic changes. The aerosols here retain over the hemisphere and cause climate to change. For ...

Images embody cultural meanings or symbolisms in their very nature, color, text and other elements. These meanings are drawn, created or extended from a wide sociocultural context. Advertising communications seek to inform, persuade and identify their products with symbols that would give their products or brands approval in the eyes of the consumers. In order to achieve this, advertising must establish a dialogue and create a relationship with a consumer, which in turn means that they must draw on numerous ways of creating meaning or modes of communications. Create meaning/relationships draws is heavily influenced by culture. This paper argues that the Fiat Panda ...

The main purpose of this research paper is to discuss whether there is any proof and evidence of global climate change, as the debates about this question have been conducted until nowadays. First, it should be mentioned here that any climate change is a long-lasting considerable change in any statistical form of weather pattern`s distribution for different time periods that can vary from years and decades to thousands and millions of years. For example, it can be a change in weather conditions, or distribution of them per average conditions. It`s usually caused by different factors of biotic origin like ...

Energy storage space is accomplished by devices or physical media that store energy to perform useful procedures later. A system that stores energy is sometimes called an accumulator.

All types energy exist as either prospective energy for example substance, gravitational, power, temperature differential and hidden warm or kinetic energy basically strength (Galbraith 1). Some technological innovation offer only short-term energy storage space and others can be very long-term such as ability to gas using hydrogen or methane and the storage space of cool or warm between opposite periods in deep aquifers or foundation.
