Essays on Stream

First of all, it is worth saying that Gulf Stream influences primarily atmosphere temperatures in Europe. Heinz Wanner says that Gulf Stream transports energy and heat from the southern to the northern hemisphere making temperatures in European countries augment (Tulloch). Subsequently, this means that in case of Gulf Stream stopping European countries will “experience Siberian summers and deep-freeze winters” (What Will Happen When the Gulf Stream Collapses?). North America and Europe are claimed to experience strong winter storms and multi-year droughts (NC State University). Moreover, this will logically lead to impossibility of growing crops and breeding cattle as people ...

One of the most prevalent online activities worldwide is social networking. It is extremely big and grows each day. It has evolved to become a platform where consumers can interact, shop, share, engage and obtain news and information. Despite the fact that enormous efforts have been put behind creating social channels and building the social media, few have been capable of generating significant revenue. However, the payoff is increasing as various businesses engage their followers and convert customers. Most social media have been able to generate substantial amount of revenue through advertising and various applications where the members can ...

Introduction to Modeling of Engineering Systems

The model that my group has developed is based upon the separation and accumulation of solids which flow into a settling tank from a feed steam. During this separation procedure, the solid accumulates into the settling tank and the cleaner liquid product accumulates in a storage tank. The feed stream, containing solid particles in liquid, flows continuously to the settling tank, and solids are thus able to settle to the bottom as the liquid moves upward through the tank. A product stream leaves the tank; this stream contains a smaller fraction of solids than the field stream. Eventually the ...

The years of James Joyce's life mark major transitions in world history, as well as in world culture. When he was born, in 1882, the worldwide transition from an agrarian way of life to the industrial paradigm was still in fits and starts. Wars were still fought hand-to-hand and on horseback. Literature was still primarily a mostly straightforward affair, as were the visual arts. Matters of perspective, the bailiwick of the modernist artists, were still yet to be the matter of much experimentation. However, the arrival of the Impressionist painters began to erode a unified perspective by considering how ...

Introduction to Modeling of Engineering Systems

A semi-batch mode operates the solids separation process by accumulating and settling solids in a storage tank. The cleaner product accumulates in the storage tank whereas the feed stream with solids flows into the settling tank. The clean liquid flows upward into the tank leaving the solid particles at the bottom. The product stream from the tank has smaller solids than those in the feed stream. The amount of solids keeps increasing in the settling tank as solids increase in the settling time. The exit stream accumulates in the collection vessel. The solids in the settling tank should be ...

The lower parts of St. Johns River is an estuarine river that has salinity rivers fluctuating with changes in tides. The dark coloration of the rivers is due to the extremely high levels of tannins from decaying matter. Turbidity, the dark coloration and other matters prevent the penetration of light deep into the water. As such, the growth of submerged vegetation happens in the shallow regions of the river. The river is fed from tributaries some of which are salty, the Atlantic ocean, tributaries and human wastes from industries and treatment plants for waste water. The lab report presents ...

Alcohol breakdown in the body system is unique when compared to other types of food, this is because alcohol can enter the digestive system directly without being altered by the body’s digestive system. In the blood stream alcohol is broken down by alcohol dehydrogenase, the amount of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) vary according to gender and ethnicity. Women’s body system produces less alcohol dehydrogenase when compared to men therefore people whose body system produces less ADH get tipsy with little amount of alcohol (Whitney, & Rolfes, 2011, p. 232).

With reference to cryptography, block cipher is a mode of operation to provide information services like authenticity and confidentiality. It is meant for cryptographic transformations such as encrypting or decrypting the data/information of groups of fixed length referred to as a block. There is an unvarying transformation specified by a symmetric key. For bits of data that exceeds the size of a block, cipher’s block operation has to be applied repeatedly. Block cipher works on units of fixed block sizes, but messages may come in varying lengths. In that case the final ...

Mountain pine beetle (MPB) (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) is a bark beetle that lays eggs within the vascular system of the mature trees of lodgepole pine (Pinus
contorta). First known epidemic infestation was recorded in 1994 in the forests of British Columbia (BC). Prior to 1994, the infestation was negligible, owing to the fact that extreme low temperatures of winter killed the beetle, thereby curbing the problem. In the past two decades, however, due to global warming the winter temperatures are not low enough to kill the beetle. This has escalated the problem of deforestation and thereby has unbalanced the ...

The ecological systems that are reliant on the forest are the streams, watershed and the species that inhabit within the environment. The forest is a working environment that can be harvested for the production for paper and pulp products. The sustainable forest management is an outcome of applying the forest to the benefit of all while conserving the ecological systems that are reliant of the forest. Healthy streams are reliant on the forest for their coverage. The forests also enable the lowing of the temperature ...

Abstract

Solid waste and wastewater are primary sources of pollution from food processing industries. The wastewaters usually contain high suspended solids, organic starch and sugars that may contain toxic substances to the environment. Solid wastes come from organic materials while the mechanical preparation processes need biological treatment before releases into the environment. When untreated, they find their way into other water plants like lakes and streams. Since they have higher nutrient content, they result of eutrophication of the water systems hence causing algal growth. It, therefore, compromises the stability of the aquatic ecosystems as the water quality is changed. It ...

SUSTAINABLE WATER MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES

The challenge for sustainable water use and management remains as water has increasingly becoming scarce. Pollution and climate change continue to affect the access of people to clean and potable water. The crisis in water has spawned for decades now and the number of people that are affected by this problem has constantly increased. In fact, the 2012 Millennium Development Goals Report stated that about 11% of the global population do have access to improved water sources. This happens while industries continue to waste and pollute waters. Royte (2010) reported that cheap and abundant water would run out soon. ...

The content of alcohol in the blood stream popularly known as the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is the main source of evidence that the police present to the courts to decide if or not an individual has been driving while drunk. The BAC level is tested by the use of an ‘alco-blow’ device known as a breathalyzer, blood and urine tests conducted in clinical facilities. High amounts of alcohol in the blood system may affect proper driving as drunken persons seem to be oblivious of the danger that they expose themselves and other road users by driving under alcohol ...
