Fixing the Global Nitrogen Problem The primary issue of the nitrogen problem is to inform people how nitrogen effects the environment negatively. All living things need nitrogen and approximately 78 percent of the atmosphere contains nitrogen. However‚ nitrogen is the non-reactive gas that is known as inert‚ and can commonly be fixed with nitrogen fixation. Nitrogen fixation refers to the natural process by breaking the triple bond between two pairs of nitrogen atoms through a tiny group

INTRODUCTION Since carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere is accumulating rapidly because of burning fossil fuel‚ coal‚ oil and natural gas for power generation‚ transportation‚ industrial and domestic uses‚ our earth has been facing global warming‚ sea level rising‚ flooding and other adverse changes which damage to our ecosystem. To address this challenge‚ we need to find out other alternative ways that do not produce carbon dioxide or that reduce the release of enormous amount of carbon dioxide gases

Chapter 5 1. Discuss when you would use discriminant analysis instead of multiple regression analysis. Explain the difference between metric and nonmetric variables. (This is also discussed in Chapter 1.) Chapter 5 100 word minimum In choosing an appropriate analytical technique‚ we sometimes encounter a problem that involves a categorical dependent variable and several metric independent variables. Recall that the single dependent variables in regression are the appropriate statistical techniques

Carbon-14 Dating: An Invaluable Yardstick in the Chronology of Humans Archaeologists utilize several methods to analyze data from the past. One scientific tool helps to analyze the radioactive decay of chemical elements found in plant and animal remains‚ pottery‚ and even rocks. Radiocarbon dating‚ also known as carbon-14 dating‚ has developed into one of the most important radioisotope dating methods archaeologists employ. This scientific tool‚ first developed by Willard F. Libby in the late

"A carbon fiber is a long‚ thin strand of material about 0.005-0.010 mm in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. The carbon atoms are bonded together in microscopic crystals that are more or less aligned parallel to the long axis of the fiber. The crystal alignment makes the fiber incredibly strong for its size. Several thousand carbon fibers are twisted together to form a yarn‚ which may be used by itself or woven into a fabric. The yarn or fabric is combined with epoxy and wound or molded

Carbon tax A carbon tax is a form of carbon pricing. It is all about cutting the pollution and driving investment in cleaner energy sources‚ such as solar‚ gas and wind‚ along with new energy sources like geothermal and wave energy. Carbon taxes offer a potentially cost-effective means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They help to address the problem of emitters of greenhouse gases not facing the full (social) costs of their actions. Carbon taxes are a regressive tax‚ in that they disproportionally

Introduction Every human in the world has a significant impact on the water cycle‚ as well me. Every day I use resources and have a major impact in into this cycle. We often use resources without thinking much about it. It is simply normal to us‚ that’s enough of these resources are available for the people. Water is just always available for us. In every day that I take a shower‚ take a bath‚ cook with water or just go swimming in a sea I have an important influence on our water cycle. Water which I

Activated Carbon Activated Carbon is the best general use adsorbent to remove/reduce a lot of organic and some inorganic contaminants found in different liquid and gas products. Activated carbon has the unique ability to adsorb a wide range of compounds from both the liquid and gas phase. This adsorptive feature is responsible for removing contaminants from water and other substances where the adsorbent material is added. Activated Carbon features a highly crystalline form with a wide surface
