The Magnificent Moon

The galaxy is made up of trillions of stars, milky ways, and planets, but the main predominate planets to earth are the Moon and the Sun. These planets have made an influence to the earth and its ability to sustain life for longer than any of us can remember. Not only have both the planets … Read more

A discussion of phylogeny, molecular techniques, and the role of evolution

It is a common misperception that evolution is something that has only occurred in the long past of the Earth, and is not quintessential to today’s changing world. Evolution can and is occurring at different rates for different organisms, and understanding this could help solve scientific problems that need solutions. Phylogeny is a major component … Read more

Hirshfeld Surfaces Analysis, Characterization, Thermal and Magnetic Properties of Mixed ligand Cu(II) Complex, Synthesis at Bulk and Nano Structure Size

Abstract: New Copper(II) mixed ligand Structure at bulk single crystal and nanometer sized [Cu(8-HQ)2(Sacc)2], has been synthesized by the reaction of a mixture Cu(II) Acetate with 8-HQ and Saccharin solution in methanol/water by simple Branched tube, solvothermal and sonochemical methods. The nanopowders of Copper Oxide was prepared from the calcinations of the nanostructured of [Cu(8-HQ)2(Sacc)2] … Read more

Adaptation in cells

One central role of evolutionary biology is understanding the process of adaptation (Orozco-Terwengel et al., 2012). Culture adaptation in cells describes the phenomenon of occurring karyotypic changes in cell lines after transferring them out of their natural environment (in vivo) into a new environment, the growth medium (in vitro), where the cells are exposed to … Read more

Natural selection

1. (2 pts) Differentiate between artificial selection and natural selection. Make sure you define both processes in your answer and give an example of each. Natural selection is when different organisms have evolved enough to survive longer and produce for offspring. for example, green treefrogs so not survive long in pine tree forests because they … Read more

Naegleria fowleri

Naegleria fowleri, commonly known as the brain-eating amoeba, has been known to kill more than 140 cases in the United States ranging from 1962-2016.  Naegleria fowleri is a free-living amoeba that is rare in humans that in over 10 years, there has only been a recorded of 40 cases reported, where the fatality rate for … Read more

Biogas production

Part 1: Comparison of flow sheet software and justification of the chosen software. Aspen Plus is a process simulation software that applies mathematical models to a given process design with specified thermodynamic models and outputs the expected performance of the process (Karimi, 2009). The advantage of this software includes a robust database that enables the … Read more

Low temperature resistance: lab report

Second Year Laboratory Report Low temperature resistance School of Physics and Astronomy Abstract The current-voltage relationships of constantan, copper, germanium and a silicon diode were investigated in this experiment. Constantan, copper and germanium showed linear relationships between the current and voltage, displaying Ohmic behaviour. The silicon diode showed an exponential (non-linear) relationship between the current … Read more

The History of Fingerprints

30 January 2019 College Credit Forensics The History of Fingerprints Fingerprints, surprisingly, have been hinted around since the 15th century in many different places. According to “The History of Fingerprints” handout, “Pre-historic picture writing of a hand with ridge patterns was discovered in Nova Scotia. In ancient Babylon, fingerprints were used on clay tablets for … Read more

Sprayers Used In Agricultural Applications

Sprayers are commonly used on farms to spray pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and defoliants as a means of crop quality control. There are many kinds of machine-operated sprayers, the most common of which are low-pressure, high-pressure, air-carrier, and fogger types. Insects and weeds are largely responsible for the crop destruction. In modern horticulture and agriculture, insecticides/pesticides, … Read more

Plants for pest control

Plants may provide potential alternatives to currently used pest-control agents because they constitute a rich source of bioactive chemicals. The present study aimed to evaluate the insecticidal and antifungal activities of Curcuma longa extracts. The isolation and identification of two compounds, ar-turmerone and curcumin were also described. Curcuma longa rhizomes dried powder was extracted with … Read more

Periodic Trends Lab

Introduction: Although the periodic table may look overwhelming, it is actually very important and neatly organized. The periodic table was written by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869. The periodic table is an arrangement of elements in groups and periods that are further organized based on their electronic configurations, their chemical properties, and the atomic mass of … Read more

Hyperventilation in diving and snorkelling

Hyperventilation is a  method of over breathing that increases the quantity of air arriving the pulmonary alveoli and it can be used purposefully by divers to protract the time they are able to clasp their breath under water. Hyperventilation can be treacherous, and this threat is significantly augmented if the diver inclines to depth, as … Read more

The interaction between science and ethics

The interaction between science and ethics is one that has sparked controversy among almost all people, from those in academia to grass-roots activists and all those in between. Whether the argument surrounds the human diet, animal testing or factory farming, there are always different perspectives to be taken. While a great amount of what some … Read more

Explaining transgenderism

Western civilisation and culture have created an understanding that sex and gender are interchangeable. However, the LGBT+ community and allies are working to disprove this ideology. The mind is considered the brain while the body is considered the genitals and physique of a person for the purpose of this argument. To adequately explain transgenderism the … Read more
