Essays on Weather

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city life, the noise of cars, when one goes to a place which is close to nature, its serenity gives you comfort and peace. This happened to me as well when we went for a vacation to Mount Tremblant, in the province of Quebec. Taking a chair lift to the top of the mountain, I could see lush green grass and a canopy of trees and thorny bushes below. Many cyclists were cycling down the mountain on the muddy path demarcated for them to avoid accidents with the pedestrians ascending or ...

When Toro Company a snow blower manufacturer decided to introduce the promotion they were indeed taking a gamble and this was bound to tag along a number of risks. This was a marketing strategy that was meant to see the sale of the snow blower hit a record high but on the contrary it posed a bigger risk that the company would not have met if the purchasers were to get to the company and lay claims (Donaldson, S. 2007).

The first risk that the company was taking was that of pegging their luck in the weather man. They ...

These days, security experts are more inclined towards ensuring Logical security. This comprises of anti-virus, anti-phishing apps, hardware and software firewalls and anti-spyware. Most importantly, one can easily update and reload the system software’s to boost the ...

In statistics, distribution of a data population pertains to how data is spread out within the given population and how these are arranged. There are several statistical measures that used in describing how specific data are spread out within a given population. One is by using the ranger which measures the ranged of values within a population, the deviation, which is the difference each value in the population from the mean among others. The statistic or measure of dispersion that looks into the looseness or tightness of data is the standard deviation. It measures how often a data deviates from the norm of the mean of the population.

Standard deviation is an important measure to further describe how the elements of a population behave. This is also often referred to as the standard error of the mean. Standard deviations are also used in as a measure of confidence when making statistical conclusions. This can be use to determine the reliability or significance of a data.
An application where the standard deviation is deemed important in making conclusions is related to weather forecasting. Even if two places have the same average temperature of a given number of days, one cannot readily conclude from by just looking at the average temperature alone that the weather in these two places are the same. The standard deviation can be use to determine which of the places has a more reliable temperature prediction. The place with higher standard deviation will have a greater chance of having unreliable temperature prediction since the standard error is greater.

Introduction

The computer language is different from the human language. This is as a result to the difference in the tools that the computer uses to recognize and understand the objects and scenarios.

Prometheus lent humans the gift of fire, and while the move he made had Zeus fuming, Prometheus never regretted his decision. Prometheus was unlike any of his counterparts on who lived on Mount Olympus; a God that cared about the events of the future, about the world the humans lived in, and about the people who lived on that world. He was disinterested in Godly matters, disinterested in the wonderful things that all the other gods seemed to enjoy. For Prometheus, the other gods were merely ignorant of what was happening to their people, and therefore, he wanted to ...

Factors that Influence Emotions

Human emotions are variable from time to time depending on various factors. Gender is one of the distinguishing factors that affect human emotions. Women tend to be more emotional than their male counterparts are. This is mainly due to hormonal imbalances and variations that occur during menses. At such times, they tend to be moody and easily irritable. However, in some instances men can be moody depending on other sociological factors. Culture is a crucial factor in determining one’s mood ((Berry, 2004)). This is especially important since it shapes one’s general mood from an early age to ...

Following the story of the use of ethanol to provide warmth in cold environments, this paper presents research on the effect the consumption of ethanol has on an individual’s body temperature. Firstly, the distribution of heat in the body is done by the blood. Through the vasodilatation and vasoconstriction of blood vessels, the body loses and retains head respectively. Given that ethanol enters the bloodstream directly upon consumption, its effects are almost immediate. Its presence in the blood causes the widening of blood vessels due to its vasodilation effect (Eston & Reily, 2013).
This results in an increase in ...

Power capacity is the maximum amount of power that an electric line can transmit, and it varies with distance and voltage. The longer the distance, the lower the power capacity of the line due a drop in voltage. For example, a line with a 100-mile length has a maximum capacity of 3.8 GW. In contrast, a line with a 400-mile length has a maximum capacity of 2.0 GW (Amin & Stringer, 2008, p. 400). The higher the voltage, the higher the capacity of the lines since high voltages produce more heat that is likely to cause sagging of the lines. ...

The rate at which greenhouse gases have accumulated in the last half century is alarming. The accumulation has led to the inevitable rise in the temperature values experienced around the globe. Greenhouse gases have directly increased in proportion to the amount of emissions made by equipment and engines using fossil fuels. This effect is also a direct result of the industrial age that came with a shift towards making use of automated diesel driven machines under supervision of a few operators. It is legitimate to put into consideration that there are numerous effects of global warming that may reduce ...

The weather conditions between Oshkosh and Wisconsin are similar. This means that they share both latitudes and longitudes. Snow usually comes at a specific time of the year. This is fall. When it comes, the weather becomes cold. However the ground usually behaves differently. Temperatures are the regulators. When temperatures are high in a place, then the weather becomes warmer or hotter. Nevertheless, when the temperatures are low, a place becomes cooler. Therefore, the grounds nature depends on the temperatures. Weather is not directly related to the ground. When there is snow, the temperature normally becomes cooler. On the ...
