I read House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III. This story is one of classic tragedy which also contains a nearly unbearable amount of suspense. It tells a story of the conflict between people of different races who have an inability to understand each other. They each want possession of a small house in the California hills but for very different reasons. On one side‚ there is Kathy Nicolo and Sheriff Lester Burdon who want the house from which Kathy was evicted. It previously belonged

The effect of salt concentrations on the mass of the pear cubes ‘Pyrus’ after being soaked in water Aim: The effect of salt concentrations on the mass of the pear ‘Pyrus’ pieces shaped as cubes of 1cm. Background: Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential. Water makes up to 70-90% of living cells and cell membranes are partially permeable membranes. Dissolved substances attract

AIM The aim of this investigation is to explore the effect of different concentrations of bile salts on the time taken for the lipase enzyme to break down fat. BILE Bile is a brownish bitter alkaline fluid produced by the liver and made by the hepatocytes from water‚ bile salts‚ bile pigments cholesterol and phospholipids and stored in the gall bladder. Bile is directly connected with digestion. It is released sporadically into the small intestine (duodenum) which is part of the gut in order

My conclusion is that the higher salt concentration in the solution the greater the decrease in mass of the potato will be‚ the graph I have drawn supports my conclusion. The 10% salt concentration shows that on average the potato loses 2.6% of its overall mass. 20% salt concentration shows a further decrease in mass this time it is an average of 13% overall mass decrease. 30% salt concentration shows an average decrease of 18.8% in overall mass. The 0% salt concentration actually shows a mass increase

so for water with salt inside. The higher amount of salt there is in the water‚ the more the freezing point decreases. So‚ salt water freezes later than freshwater. The exact measurement of how they impact each other is this: every 5 psu increase‚ the freezing point decreases by 28%.. In an ocean‚ there is frazil and brine. Frazil are ice crystals suspended in water‚ and they are made of nearly pure freshwater. Frazil is the first stages of the growth of sea ice. Brine are salt droplets. Sometime

Section II: Case Study II - The Salt Lake Organising Committee: 2002 Olympics Our analysis of the case study had the following objectives: 1. To focus on the role of the new management in redesigning the organization to ensure successful execution of the 2002 Winter Olympics; 2. To identify the practices involved in the various stages of the project life cycle; 3. To discover how testing and validation reduce risk and uncertainty when planning a one-time event such as the Olympics. The bribery

How rain came to be In the beginning salt water and regular water got along. They all lived in the same ocean and each droplet would live in harmony. They shared the undersea environment with all the fish and sea plants. Some plants and animals needed salt water more than fresh water and some needed fresh water more than salt water. This is where the problem all started. The fresh water began to become jealous because the salt water was mocking the fresh water about them being the best type of

The effect of salt concentration on osmosis in potato. Introduction: 1. The purpose of doing this lab is to observe the effects of various solute concentrations on osmosis in a potato. 2. During osmosis‚ water moves from the side of the membrane where they are most concentrated to the side where they are less concentrated. If the concentration is equal on both sides‚ there will be no movement. 3. I hypothesize that the mass of the potato will decrease as the salt in the solution

Last Friday in class‚ we wrote a CTA about Emily Dickinson’s poem and had an ORB discussion. For the ORB project‚ our group read Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys. The book is about four characters‚ who are the refugees from the World War II‚ and how they interact with each other. To be honest‚ in class‚ I did not raise any deep‚ philosophical question about what I was doing. I simply followed what I was asked to do. However‚ when I went back home‚ sitting in front of my green desk‚ having a document
