Essays on Wind

Introduction

The majority of the world’s population live in the cities. The number of rural dwellers moving to metropolitan areas is ever increasing due to the opportunities present there. Many cities throughout the world have continued to become more and more concentrated centers of economic activity as well as human culture. Nevertheless, some of these cities are struggling with limited resources as well as polarized priorities that make adaptation hard. The high rate of urbanization has facilitated climate issues that are threatening human existence and, as a result, leading to a reduction in the resilience of the cities. Resilient ...

Introduction As we know, the “Critical Zone” is the zone that extends from the vegetation outer limits to the lower limits of groundwater. This zone is important for all life on the Earth. It provides most of the ecosystem services on which societies depend. In this case, erosion processes are dangerous enough for the Critical Zone and they must be timely identified.

Discussion

The erosion is a quite dangerous geological process, as it leads to rather unfortunate consequences (for example, structural failure, displacement, shrinkage of the foundation, and some others). This process leads to the destruction of the rocks (soils) ...

Types of Centrifugal Pumps

Centrifugal pumps consist of impellers and volutes and turn electrical energy into mechanical energy. The impeller rotates producing centrifugal force that adds to the pressure of a fluid budging the liquids in the desired direction through a piping system. There are basically two types of centrifugal pumps; Single-stage radial flow centrifugal pumps and multistage centrifugal pumps.

My First Kiss

Everyone dreams of their first kiss and what it would be like, often practicing in the mirror or on our hand, longing for someone else’s sweet lips to touch our own and wonder what it would feel like when it happened. When I was 14, my parents sent me to my grandmother’s home on vacation. I remember, it was a hot summer. It was so hot that you could feel the sweat drip down your body and there was no means of air circulating. However, I felt the boredom kick in day after day ...

Energy production has experienced numerous landmark changings thought the century. Although there is no perfect solution found in terms of satisfying the needs for energy resources and mitigating its environmental and social impact, hydropower generation is considered a renewable energy source and alternative to fossil fuel combustion. Hydropower generation has experienced significant advancement throughout its history. However, the principle of its work is rather comprehensive. The energy of falling water is employed to turn the turbine, which is connected to the electricity generator. Furthermore, electricity is supplied through grids to industrial or domestic units. In most cases dams are ...

Hurricane Katrina was the worst disaster to hit the United States since the 9/11 attacks. In the aftermath of the 11 September 2001 attacks, the US Department of Homeland Security came up with a host of plans and restructured FEMA at the cost of billions of dollars. Despite all the spending and planning, the chinks in the armor were apparent before and after Hurricane Katrina. The forecast of the Hurricane along with its destructive capability and target path gave several cities ample time to evacuate hundreds of citizens before the storm struck. There were two days warning from 24 ...

A life without energy is impossible. Energy exists in many forms such as light, electricity, heat, and mechanical energy. The conventional sources of energy, such as oil and coal, are the main contributing factors to global warming. Additionally, the widely used fossil fuels are non-renewable and exhaustible. Alternative energy sources can replace the existing conventional energy sources. Wind and solar are the most abundant forms of power in the world. Furthermore, both the wind and solar energy serve as alternative energies that do not involve the use of fossil fuels.

Alternative energy sources are good for the environment because ...

“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here" (Canto 3). A truly scary and miserable place to be in. Exactly with this scripture begins Dante's journey towards the depth of Hell and ever farther. His way of finding out the truth about the human soul, the journey to learn the nature of sin, the nature of happiness, and the way to God. Genuine morality is bestowed upon Dante as he travels the dark realm of Hell and the nature of which will he explore. First of all, morality resides on the set of rules and instructions on how to behave ...

Introduction

In America, Federalism came into practice when some states rejected the thought of a unitary government. Due to the large size of the country, the founding fathers allowed states to form powerful governments. State governments are used as a training ground or political labs for policing, where new ideas can be implemented and evaluated (El Camino College N.pag). In Federalism practicing states such as Florida, state government possesses the power of providing safety and public health, regulate interstate commerce, form government and conduct elections. However, Washington still carries the power of printing money, declaring war, establishing an army and ...

“The Worst Hard Time” is a book that tells the story of inhabitants who stayed in the plains during and after the dust bowl. The dust bowl was a period characterized by animal losses and crop failure in several areas (Egan 54). This created a hostile environment for any person to survive although some people decided to persevere. The book takes a keen interest in the people who stayed through and after the tough times by establishing their reason for holding on. It does this through a collection of their experiences and relating them to the terrible events of ...

FEMA was in charge of housing displaced residents during Hurricane Katrina. Initially, it sought to provide trailers for families. Roughly two thirds of the trailers did not make it to the disaster area and local jurisdictions voted to ban the trailers. FEMA then provided hotel rooms instead of trailers to the displaced residents. If I was in charge of the evacuation and housing efforts I would do several things. Firstly, I would evacuated residents to a temporary location is as a school gymnasium or a stadium. At this point the residents would be sorted and housing would be assigned ...

Some of the first emergency management examples are Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Katrina, the Buffalo snowstorm, and California wildfires.

The federal government has a secondary role in managing public risk. The constitution gives this power to the states, and the federal government is only called in the state cannot handle the situation. The Flood Control Act of 1936 was signed into Law in 1936. It gave the United States Army Corps of Engineers the ability to build infrastructure to mitigate the effects of floods. The Cold War brought the United States and Russia close nuclear war. This would have been detrimental to the world. It did however push the United States towards preparing for the potential nuclear fallout.

The San Fernando earthquake led to the creation of the National Flood Insurances Program.

<Institutional Affiliation> The main reason why theories are created is that they tend to explain a fact or a phenomena using suggested ideas that are based on principles. Landing to the moon is an activity that was practiced and witnessed by human beings. Therefore, no theory is needed whatsoever to explain the event. The speed to be measured is that of wind. The materials needed are: four cups whose shapes are hemispherical, and a spindle. The cups are attached to the spindle and the spindle vertically mounted on the ground, in such a way that the cups are ...

While windmill technology is appropriate for generating clean and renewable energy, its practicability is limited by seasonal nature of the power generating because of fluctuations in wind (Kumar & John, 2012). Windmills are installed in specific places. The output of the turbine in the windmill is dependent on the availability of wind to turn the turbine (Kumar & John, 2012). In addition, there is need for more renewable sources of energy to avoid the depletion of the fossil fuels. In another viewpoint, cleaner sources of energy are in keeping with the resolve to reverse the effects of global warming. Generating electricity ...

Wavelength and Frequency

In this experiment, the frequencies are recorded at high certainty values. The increased certainty in these values is due to the high precision of the Amplitude knob. It takes only a few seconds to change the frequency before an effect is seen. When the experiment is repeated for a standing wave with two wavelengths, we get different results. The two-segment waves vibrate with a node at each end and one note in the middle such that the wavelength is equal to the length of the string used in the experiment. The frequency of two segment wavelength is about twice ...

In today’s economic and technological climate, the world’s consumption of oil and gas far outstrips our ability to replenish our supply. At the current rate of our oil usage, I do not believe it is possible to maintain our consumption for very long, as it would require the discovery of new fields on par with Saudi Arabia’s current supplies every decade. Even if we were able to find these new supplies and deposits, there is only a finite amount of oil remaining in the world, thus necessitating the consideration of alternative fuel sources. If the developed ...

The Modern Green Movement is distinguished by its actions for combating the cataclysmic consequence of climate changes, by conducting global environmental events, conservation of natural resources, preservation of the environment, and overcoming the green gas issues. The consciousness of the people has become more intense now, yet, most of the environmental issues remain unresolved. And the chemically contaminated water and foods, genetically altered seeds, and other problems are putting the daily lives in dangerous conditions. To make matters worse, most of the natural resources dwindle, while the climate change plays havoc. The Modern Green Movement is convincing people, to ...

Introduction

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 ...

According to the National Transportation Safety Board (2004) the Safety Board requested NASA-Langley to conduct a wake vortex investigation to determine the airplane performance study on whether American Airlines Flight 587 had encountered the wake Vortexes similar to Japan Air Lines flight 47. The investigation showed that the encounter will explain the two sets of load factor excursions, where the first occurred at 0915:35 where the aircraft reached the altitude of 1,750 feet, and the second occurred at 0915:51 where the aircraft reached the altitude of 2,430 feet based on the record of flight of 587 (National ...

Why are low lying islands affected by climate change?

How will islands be affected? What will happen to the populations of inundated islands? Burkett, M. “In Search of Refuge: Pacific Islands, Climate-Induced Migration, and the Legal Frontier.” Asia - Pacific Issues 98 (2011): 1-8. Within the next fifty years people in the low lying Pacific Islands will be forced to leave their homes because of increased frequency and intensity of storms and floods, sea-level rise, and desertification. Many will not only lose their homes, but also their nation. If plans are not put in place to address this, it could cause a humanitarian disaster and political chaos? ...

Even though we are the creation of a nature, the humanity has found the way to control it. By trying to improve our life by creating of new facilities, breeding of new animals we are changing our mother nature.

Introduction:

In a typical hydroelectric power generation system, a dam (water reservoir) is built near water body such as a river to create head (height) that enables water to flow at high pressure via a pipe (penstock) to the turbines that drive the power generators. The fast moving water turns the turbine blades at high velocity, and in turn, the turbine turns the electricity generator’s rotor. The wire coils in the generator’s rotor sweep past the stationary coil (stator) in the generator thus producing electricity. This concept was first demonstrated in 1831 by Michael Faraday, who discovered that ...

Her hands shook, each finger twitching in a frenzied and broken rhythm that no one could have possibly understood. That was okay, the rhythm of her fingers matched the erratic beating of her heart at that moment. She had done something horrible, something that she might never have believed possible of herself in a million years. Worse than that though, so much so in fact that she felt it as a sudden awakening in the pit of her stomach, she’d enjoyed it. She had put a gun to a man’s head and pulled the trigger, and she ...

Abstract

Plants undergo two very different types of reproduction – asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction. As plant life on Earth is extremely diverse, it follows that the methods of sexual reproduction among plants would also be quite diverse. Plants employ various techniques to accomplish this sexual reproduction based on their environment and what technique will improve their fitness. The boxelder maple uses wind to disperse the male seeds into the environment to find and fertilize a female plant (Greene & Johnson, 1995). Another plant, a mistletoe, utilizes a marsupial animal to disperse its seeds (Garcia, Rodriguez-Cabal, & Amico, 2009). These two separate but ...

Introduction

Canada is among the leading nations with vast supply of low carbon energy sources. The country enjoys no and low carbon energy sources including hydropower, wind, biomass, nuclear power as well as power generated from the waves at the coastal regions. This implies that the energy supply in Canada considerably meets the demands in the community and outside the nation. Such steps make it possible to avoid reliance on the carbon emitting sources of energy that have in the recent years faced criticism from the public and regulatory agencies. However, even with the abundant supply of the no and ...

One of the most common environmental pollution observed in many parts of the world is the formation of haze. This phenomenon is predominantly visible in those geographies where the air pollution is on the higher side, which may be multiple times more than what has been believed to be safe. Essentially, haze which appears as a blanket of smoke over a wide area occurs when the tiny invisible pollutants suspended in the air absorbs and scatters sunlight thereby reducing the clarity of our vision to a great extent . Air pollution, the primary factor behind haze can be either natural ...

Discovery of Americas and its Impact on Commerce, Navigation, and Industrialization

Introduction The European exploration efforts and the subsequent discovery of the Americans was in the simplest terms, a capitalistic venture. Of course, it was accidental, but its primary goal had been to find a new sea route to the orient. The European desire to make more profits by cutting out the Arabs and Turkish nations from the trade is typical of any capitalistic venture. In addition, the idealistic desire to expand the horizons of the European reach coupled with the optimistic search for a completely new way of reaching the Orient was demonstrated in the efforts of Columbus and ...

Physics 11 Experiment 3: The acceleration due to gravity

Introduction The free fall movement is not a steady movement because there is an action over the body due to the gravity or acceleration between two bodies with different mass. The moon and the earth exert an attraction force due to their two masses (University of Tennessee Knoxville). The planets of the solar system have an orbital movement around the sun thanks to attraction force due to the mass of the sun and the planets. All the particles and bodies in the universe attract them. There is a general equation that represents that phenomenon: F = G*m1*m2/r2 Where ...

Upwelling is an oceanic process whereby cold, nutrient rich deep water is brought to the surface by various oceanographic or geographic mechanisms, over a period of time. One driver of upwelling are the winds blowing across the ocean’s surface, parallel to the coast and displace the warmer, nutrient poor surface waters, allowing the colder, deeper water to rise to the surface, carrying nutrients with it. The deeper ocean water is nutrient rich due to the decomposition of marine animals which have sunk to the deeper ocean waters. Upwelling is an extremely dynamic process ,influenced by factors such as ...

Hurricanes

Almost every year in the United States, along the Atlantic coast and the Gulf of Mexico, as well as in Hawaii, there are lots of hurricanes. The states of Texas, Louisiana, Florida and North Carolina are particularly at risk. The season of hurricanes lasts from early June to late November. There is a certain logic, why this period is the most dangerous. The strength and the duration of the storm depend on the temperature of the water in the ocean: if the degree is higher, the hurricane is stronger (it is proved that that the hurricane is amplified by ...

Introduction

One of the most important things, if not the most important one, that society needs today is energy. Energy comes in many form and moist literatures focusing on this topic would agree that among all the possible sources of energy, oil comes as the most heavily demanded, and hence the most important. In fact, one may argue that the geopolitical movements and decisions that have been made in the past half a century have been motivated by access to this important energy-related commodity. There are many possible sources of energy but even though oil just comes as one of ...

The Monkey’s Raincoat (1987) by Robert Crais is a ground-breaking mystery novel with an authentic plot. The title of the book is inspired by a haiku from the poetry of Matsuo Bashu, a Japanese samurai-turned-poet. Crais quotes the haiku in the novel’s beginning stating, “Winter downpour; Even the monkey needs a raincoat” (as qt. in Crais). Wintry weather is usually accompanied by heavy shower in the form of rainstorm storm. As far as Japanese haiku poetry is concerned, the term ‘monkey’ is used for representing a man or a man’s soul. It does ...

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

The symptoms appearing as a result of Multiple sclerosis are believed to be a result of blockage in the conduction as a result of defects in the synaptic junctions of the nerves, the defects could be demyelination and inflammation of the nerves (Smith and MacDonald, 1999). There is focal demyelination of the nerves, where the myelin sheath is damages but the axonal continuity remains undisturbed. The difference between Wallerian degeneration and Multiple sclerosis lies in the fact that in the former one there is degeneration of the axon also. Other features that can be observed in case of multiple ...

There are a number of differences between the eastern and western cultures. These differences have always existed in eastern and western cultures.

Velocity Sensors

Sensors are devices which detect variations in a physical incitement and turn it into a signal which can then be measured and recorded. Sensors transform several types of energy in different forms such as radiant energy, movement, thermal energy, magnetic energy and electrical signals. In addition, sensors come in different types that are very useful for different specific functions. The first sensor, thermostat was released in market in the year 1883 which was then considered as the first ever manmade sensor to be modernized; then there came in 1940s the infrared sensors followed by the invention and release of different ...

Reflection on the Sea of Galilee

Reflection on the Sea of Galilee The Sea of Galilee commonly called Lake Kinneret or the Sea of Tiberius is a small fresh water lake located in Northern Israel. The Sea of Galilee has a span of 148km2 and is 20m deep (Notley, 2009). The present Sea of Galilee is calm and beautiful but the ancient perspective during the time of Jesus offers a different opinion. The sea derives its beauty from the green springs among the hills during the wet season. The sea experiences blizzard just like in the day of Jesus as elaborated in the book of Matthew. The ancient ...
