Climate change is a major topic of environmental sustainability. What does climate change mean to you? Profile your community by comparing and contrasting it with another community (anywhere in the world) by considering the potential impacts of climate change on these two communities. Discuss the potential impact of an average annual temperature increase of 2C on each community What would be the potential impact if the average annual temperature increased by 4C? What are possible mitigations and adaptations to climate change in each area?
LHC is the most powerful particle accelerator in the world and it's located in CERN on the France-Swiss border.
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter the fundamental particles.
Go to the CERN website and watch the video about CERN and scroll down the page and click on "the birth of the WEB" link.
Answer the following questions:
What is CERN?
What is the LHC?
When and where the World Wide Web was created?
Mention three topics that you found in this website that related to this physics course.
If you want to know more about the LHC you can find in Neflix "Particle Fiber" a video with the history of this experiment.
Keywords search terms: earthquake formation, P wave, S wave, tsunami, earthquake travel, analyzing earthquakes.essay should do the following things:
discuss how the different types of waves are formed and describe how the waves travel
explain how scientists use waves to track and analyze earthquakes
cover recent events involving earthquakes and/or tsunamis that illustrate the points made in your explanation
1. Perception.
Based on your own experiences and observations, discuss the demographics of the community/neighborhood you consider home, in this case VENEZUELA . Include a couple of sentences describing what you like most and what you like least.
2. Reality Check
Now, look at data provided by the LA Times Neighborhood project (http://maps.latimes.com/neighborhoods/) and evaluate how your community compares to California and USA (http://www.census.gov/). Create a simple table or chart summarizing racial/ethnic background, median income, educational attainment, and one more (your choice) then answer the following:
Are some racial groups over represented or under-represented in your community?
Are income figures below or above the national median?
What are the differences in educational attainment?
How different were your perceptions from the census-based data reality check?
(For the census data, go to Quick Facts, on the main census web page, and follow t
Water (both running and ground) is a resource that is becoming more and more important as population grows, and as the climate continues to change.
As such, it's important for everyone to be informed, and the internet can be really helpful here.
For your discussion this week you need to find three scientists on Twitter that are reliable sources of information about water issues. For your initial post I would like you to share their Twitter handles, along with a one sentence summary of who they are/what they do.
Please note that I specify reliable. This means they must be scientists working in a water-related field, and actually tweeting about it. To help with this, please check out this webpage (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. on evaluating sources (click to follow link (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.).
MOVIE DISCUSSION BOARD: "CHASING CORAL"
Welcome to the Chasing Coral assignment! Coral is one of the most interesting and complex animals on the planet. Coral reefs are colonies of coral polyps and are home to more than 25% of the ocean species. They are considered the Rain-forests of the Sea and are central to the ecosystems of the oceans. It is possible that we will lose coral reefs due to warming oceans within our lifetime so it is important to learn as much as we can about them and perhaps we can find a way to save them.
Please do not attempt to answer the questions if you do not watch the movie. Also, it is good to describe specific items from the movie in your responses as this helps to show what you learned from watching the movie.
1. INTRODUCTION (2 pts)
How much do you know about coral before the movie? Have you been able to see and experience coral in the ocean, if so d
Question 1
What two main factors make an air pollutant emitted indoors usually much more serious from a health standpoint than when the same quantity of pollutant is emitted outdoors?
Question 2
Explain why the definition of exposure presented in this chapter can apply to both human and nonhuman species plants and animals and even to inanimate objects, such as buildings. Give several examples of nonhuman targets besides those mentioned in this chapter.
Question 3:
Suppose a woman takes a multi-vitamin pill containing 10 mg of zinc. The volume of the pill is 200 mm^33. What is the exposure concentration of zinc in mg/mm^3 and in mg/m^3? Please show all work.
1. History and invention of X-rays
2. Applications of X-rays in medical diagnostics (X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray tomography and treatment, Radiotherapy, etc..)
add a minimum of 6 medical applications of X-rays and 8 resources.
Include a mathematical formula for each application ( mathematical formula that relates an application to a medical finding: for example: a formula that relates X-ray spectroscopy to blood viscosity in a specific application.

Molecule/substance Introduction
The common and IUPAC name of your molecule/substance. Please see this link to help with scientific names if needed: IUPAC Nomenclature Of Organic Chemistry: https://www.acdlabs.com/iupac/nomenclature/
Where you can observe your molecule/substance in society and/or in nature.
A brief discussion on why you chose your molecule/substance.
If possible, a picture and/or video of you safely observing your molecule/substance in the field. If you cannot safely observe it, please include a couple of images from the internet.
Body
Description
You must include a physical description. You can use your personal observations from photographs. If you cannot safely observe your molecule/substance, you must research.
Physical Characteristics (appearance, texture, color, odor, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, polarity, etc.)
Chemical description: You will need to research the chemical properties of your compound/molecule)
