Essays on Underground

Water has had monumental importance in the development of human civilizations. Throughout history, the future of human communities has been determined by the capacity to insure and control a steady freshwater supply (Solomon 13). The degree to which they managed to find and make use of freshwater determined whether they would rise to become powerful and rich or they would linger in a state of underdevelopment. The greatest civilizations of the world managed to develop because they found ways to ensure a steady supply of freshwater, but also to control the water so as to avoid being destroyed by ...

As the world struggles with climate change and the need for clean, reliable energy, it is possible that the world could tap into the huge deposits of economically recoverable coal and methane gas that lie deep underground. As many as three trillion tons of coal can be mined using the traditional technologies, and even more, coal deposits that could not be mined in the past can now be accessed by setting them on fire and then trapping the methane gas that is released as a result. The process of burning coal and capturing gases that are released is known ...

The General Emergency Behavior Model known as GEMBO helps responders and risk assessors in identifying the STRESS types present, how to predict the kind of BREACH that can occur, RELEASE type, dispersion pattern that is called ‘ENGULF,' exposure radius or CONTACT, and lastly the hazards present that can bring HARM. The model helps first responders be able to take control of the affected area while coming up with the best course of action (Noll et al., 2014). Arguably, it is through the model that strategists can assess an area and note the key problems that can lead to ...

ABSTRACT

The research argues that although a gas flaring stoppage is not successfully in-place in Nigeria, fitting the appropriate technology with complementary economic and institutional factors can lead to near-zero or zero gas flaring. Nigeria is a developing country with a unique culture of many tribes and one of the largest growing urban populations in the world. Infrastructural, political and economical challenges to meeting the goal are introduced. Reinjection of gas back into wells is not available as an option to gas flaring because a large region for gas production is wetlands (Buzcu-Guven et al. 2012). Wetlands ...

In the history of fiction, there exist nameless narrators that are infamous for unreliable storylines. The protagonist in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Notes from the Underground is an example of an unreliable narrator plagued by disillusionment and bitterness that makes him present a story full of untruths and contradictions. The forty year old “Underground Man” tells the story in two parts. The first part is an attempt by the Underground Man to reach deep into his psych and consciousness, and, find justification for his spitefulness. This monologue delves into the human psyche and its desires. It is a mockery of choice and ...

The backbone of any populous city lies in its transportation system. One has to comprehend the fact that the transport system facilitates proper commutation of the people of the city, and it keeps the city on the go by connecting the places. It can be opined that the system of transports in a city is quite like the blood circulation of the human body- something that means that a city would become dysfunctional if the transport system gets thwarted in some way. To gauge the immense importance of transport system, one needs to consider the modes, structures and systems of the ...

Abstract Most buildings once completed take at least one year to settle and require repairs and maintenance. However, many older multiple dwelling buildings have suffered unforeseen issues. The most common problem is water ingress through the building envelope. The reason why residential buildings are critical and require closer and immediate attention is because these buildings belong to people who have invested their life savings into them for comfort and spend most of their time in those places. Commercial and industrial buildings do not require as much attention and their environmental separation requirements vary because they are only occupied ...

Experts define graffiti as ‘writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place.’ (Uschan, 2011) These drawings can be seen in most major towns all over the world. There is no threshold as to how big or small a drawing in the street can be in order to be classified as graffiti. More often than not, such drawings are intended to communicate good information or address challenges in the community. Graffiti is often made using spray paints available in cans. Despite this, other paints and materials can be used to make graffiti.

I liked Dante’s peak because it starred two of my favorite movie personalities, and there was enough action to keep my interest. As far as the geology as portrayed in the movie, the movie makes does a very good job of ensuring that the physical geology is represented very close to the real appearance. The many, though not all respects, the depiction of the eruptive dangers of volcanoes come very close to the mark. This is especially so with regards to the massive eruptive power released during a volcanic eruption. The Cascade Range stratovolcanoes of Alaska erupt explosively and release ...

Official corruption regularly, exists in every nation with long haul financial stagnation: on the premise of easygoing induction, it is obvious that the degree of authority corruption in an economy is absolutely corresponded with government administrative action, and contrarily connected with the pace of long-run monetary development and advancement. At the same time relationship does not ensure causation: corruption may be a variable adding to a nation's monetary stagnation; then again, in the vicinity of long-run financial decrease the motivator to take part in degenerate exercises may well increment, and in this manner the causation may run from financial stagnation to ...

Hydraulic fracturing or fracking is the technology that helps to get non-conventional fossil fuels’ sources. They existed along with traditional fuel basins. But companies weren't interested in these sources until the traditional fuel stores started to dry out. “Fracking, is a drilling technique used for extracting oil or natural gas from deep underground” (Lallanilla, 2015). There are two types of technology: hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. The last one appeared only in 1990s, while hydraulic fracturing was used from 1940s. Both technologies have similar processes. The first stage is drilling a vertically or angled well to the depth of 1-2 ...

Before the American Civil War of 1861-1865, tensions were high between the Northern and Southern states. Said tension found basis on the issue of slavery with the Southerners being pro-slavery and Northerners anti-slavery. Consequently, an abolitionist movement rose from the North and led to the development of the “Underground Railroad”. Despite its name, the “Underground Railroad” encompassed hidden houses, paths, and code words that the anti-slavery forces utilized in helping blacks escape to Free states and Canada where there was no slavery. Expectedly, such actions led to the retaliation of the ...

Commercialism

The ascent of commercialism is a curio of the development of corporate force. It started as a major aspect of a political and ideological reaction by enterprises to wage weights, climbing social consumptions, and the achievements of the ecological and shopper developments in the late 1960s and early 1970s (Cappelli 2014). Organizations encouraged the opposition to expense development and backing for corporate welfare, which helped make subsidizing emergencies in state and nearby governments and schools, and made them additionally eager to convey business promoting. They pushed "free market" philosophy, privatization and consumerism, while slandering general society circle. In the late 1970s, Mobil ...

Research Question, Rationale, Scope and Methodology

In this study, the research question is why the Russians failed to support the Polish undergrounds during their uprising against the Nazis in 1944. The rationale for doing this topic stems from the fact that there are two sides to this debate; on one hand, the Russians claimed that the Germans decimated their early advance on the Eastside of Poland thus reducing their tactics to defense only; on the other hand, western countries believe that Russia deliberately refused to assist the Polish insurgents for political reasons. Given that there are two sides to this debate, this paper examines the ...

Abstract

Microscopic analysis of materials is generally complex; hence engineers always look for alternative methods of analysis, by appropriate modelling. In specific, studying the damage of materials is important in almost every discipline of science/engineering/technology. Material damage includes the beginning, advancement and fracture of materials. The most important tool so far, used to analyze this damage, is called damage mechanics which relies heavily on continuum mechanics. It encompasses useful theories for the representation, modelling, and analysis of material damage. Broadly speaking, damage mechanics utilizes state variables to show the effects of damage. For instance, the variations in stiffness, and the ...

Harriet Tubman is most famously known for being an African-American abolitionist during the Civil War. She was a slave who escaped to freedom, spending the rest of her life helping others escape as she did. Tubman risked her life innumerable times for a cause she believed would make the world a better, more equal place. She was considered a civil rights activist and was even a spy for the Union during the American Civil War. Though her activism during slavery and the Civil War were an important part of Tubman’s life and America’s history, the rest of her life is generally overlooked. ...

“Notes from Underground” by Fyodor Dostoevsky is about a man who many would recognize instantly as having an existential crisis; he is a bitter, cynical, spiteful former civil servant. At the beginning of his journal, he assures the reader that his motive in writing is not to entertain them. He tells of his exploits as a spiteful civil servant, his skill at making people unhappy and his reason for staying at a job he despised and hated. Once he has made his cheerlessness and lack of mirth clear, he proceeds to expound on his situation, as well as the philosophy by which he ...

Introduction Despite the call for increased environmental awareness, most people remain unaffected by environmental concerns. Although it is an accepted fact that the environment is everyone’s concern, most individuals and organizations take their social responsibility to nature for granted. Most environmental programs are not taken seriously. For instance, most people knew that throwing litter could adversely affect the environment yet evidence show that this awareness is of no effect or is taken for granted. Cigarette butts, for example, still constitute the largest percentage of street litter, which according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is ...

Why was there an absence of major slave rebellion in America?

Slavery in America was a legal institution that existed in the 18th and 19th century. It is great that in the 21st century, humanity can squarely face 19th century slavery.

The pyramids of Egypt are undeniably full of mysteries, especially regarding how they were managed to be built. However, it seems easier to focus on the number of pyramids, instead of their architecture or engineering, because of the existence of historical texts and archaeological data found within these pyramids that could explain their purpose (Rawlison & Gilman 59-67). Most historians and scientists agree that the pyramids were made as a monument for a deceased pharaoh. The pyramids would serve as the ruler’s palace in the afterlife, so they were made with highly decorated rooms and passages filled with worldly possessions. ...

1.0 Introduction Categorically, there are approximations that nearly 30% of the overall globe land area comprises of occupied arid and semi-arid areas. Most importantly, water shortages prevent both economic and social development of the mentioned arid and semi-arid regions of the world. The cited economic and social development gets held back because they significantly rely on continuous water supply resources. Due to the constant and continuous interruption of the aquifers (V.E.A, 2005, p.122), the freshwater challenge gets motivated, because, the mentioned water is increasingly becoming salty. The report, therefore, aims at evaluating the feasibility of providing fresh water ...

In the The Fiery Trial, Eric Foner states his intention, in the preface, to trace "the evolution of Lincoln's ideas and policies about slavery from his early life through his career in the Illinois legislature in the 1830s, his term in Congress in the 1840s, his emergence as a leader of the new Republican party in the 1850s, and his presidency throughout the Civil War". The book scrutinizes the speeches as well as the writings by Lincoln, and the direct assignations of prior Lincoln’s historians are evaded. The Fiery Trial starts with Lincoln’s early life encounter with ...

Did Beatle­-Mania’s influence on Soviet teenagers contribute to the fall of the Iron Curtain? An argument can be made that Gorbachev’s opening up to the West through glasnost and perestroika was the final nail in the coffin of the Soviet Union. However, due to the overwhelming evidence of an underground musical movement amongst the Soviet youth, the demands of a disillusioned youth were the catalysts for these reforms. With this taken into consideration, a major change in the political landscape of Russia’s domestic and foreign policy may be observed through three stages, initial distribution, Soviet push back, ...

Abstract

The effects of oil drilling towards the environment or any drilling of similar nature such as drilling of natural gas has been extensively discussed. Major stakeholders such as the government, the private sector and common people that are directly influenced by these drilling activities have different views towards this topic, which makes it more controversial. Some idealist stakeholders, for example, believe that oil drilling poses serious environmental threats. For the same reason, they believe that the risk outweighs the advantages and so these drilling activities must be stopped at once. On the other hand, those stakeholders that is benefiting ...

In our modern country today, many Americans due to their freedom tend do whatever they want. Even their younger populations usually engage in acts that are deemed for grown man people only. Examples of these activities are smoking cigarettes, sexual activities, and buying alcoholic drinks. However, the United States imposed the right selling age of these alcoholic drinks and cigarettes. That is why in convenient stores, the sellers in the stores usually ask the people buying alcoholic drinks their identification cards that would indicate their age to verify if they are already in the right age. This is ...
