            Ansel Adams was a member of the Western school of photography, which included others such as Edward Weston and Imogen Cunningham and as a group were nature-oriented, nature encompassing everything from a desert landscape to closeup floral forms, to studies in humans.  Adams was a member of the Western school that brought together an…

AbstractThe study discusses the subject involving meteors and meteorites wherein the comprising sections are its compositions, origin, classifications, and the history and records of meteorite collision on Earth. The study utilizes review of related literature in order to obtain these data and validate the statements molded by astronomers as to the exact nature and significance…

Animals in the wild have developed defense mechanisms to survive over time. The squid, a member of the Mollusca class Cephalopod, exemplifies adaptation and evolution through natural selection. However, predators that depend on speed and eyesight pose a new threat to the squid. These predators are easily detected by the squids and introduce a novel…

Jupiter is a gas giant. This means that it has a huge atmosphere, a liquid mantle, and a liquid / solid core, with no definite boundary between the layers. The core officiate is probably composed of liquid rock, at a temperature as high as 24,000 K (43,000 OF). The core is small relative to the…

Through out the years man was able to develop and increase its knowledge about technology and how the “world works,” but together with this development and the increase in his domination amongst all other living organism in Earth, comes also the destruction of the very world that he dominates. Slowly, awareness about this destruction came…

Nature versus nurture is a debate that has been had for many years. Both sides bring valid points of view to the table. Evidence shows that they both shape who we are as individuals through the genotypes and phenotypes we acquire from conception and our continual development as humans. In my opinion I feel we…

What are the underlying assumptions in projections versus forecasts? Are the extension of past trends into the future. They identify trend lines and simply extend them to the future regardless of constraints or changes. Forecast are the prediction of future conditions based on projection modified by expected assumptions of driving forces, constraints, and opportunities. What…

Introduction A consolidated undrained triaxial test was carried out by 16 separate groups to give a broad appreciation of soil behaviour by plotting the resulting effective stress paths. Results To determine the value of Skempton’s B, the cell pressure was increased by 100kpa. The value of B indicates whether the sample is saturated or not;…

Geology Chapter 1 Geology is a very important subject in science and for the purpose of this study we would begin by looking at basic things in Geology. Let us first of all define Geology. Geology is the study of the Earth, its processes, its materials, its history, and its effect on humans and life…

The Contact Process The contact process is the industry’s current method for producing sulfuric acid in high concentrations. For this process to be successful, the conditions of temperature, pressure, and the catalyst must be specific. The process was first developed in the mid-1800s, when British chemists needed to meet the needs of the growing industrial…
