dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide fluxes from a fire chronosequence in subarctic boreal forests of canada. Science of the Total Environment, 601, 895-905. doi:10.1016/j.scitotenv.2017.05.246 In the article “Carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide fluxes from a fire chronosequence in subarctic boreal forests of canada,” the authors studied the effects of forest fires in Northwestern Canada. Koster et al. focused on the effects that forest fires had over time, on three greenhouse gases. There
Battery powered automobiles are relatively new within the auto industry. Advancements in battery power technology along with the effect of gas emissions and crude oil prices have made battery power a more possible choice than ever before. Are battery powered cars marketable? That is the question that this research paper intends to answer. If battery power is a marketable alternative to gasoline power, what makes it profitable? Who is the target consumer? With the recent prices of oil, some people
the world the North Sea. Piper Alpha went operational in 1976 and began to extract oil from the ocean floor, this process brought oil, gas and water to the station where oil was separated from gas and water. Next the gas was cooled to remove the gas condensate liquid. Condensates are pumped back into the oil and the mixture travels to the shore refinery. Excess gas is then burned off in a process called flaring. According to NASA “On July, 6, 1988 the worker was performing a maintenance check and
The biosphere of the Earth is threatened by deforestation every year due to human expansion. Which is the act of clearing a wide area of tress to a non-forested area. Usually for either agricultural uses, paper usage, or wasteland. Over 30% of the Earth is currently covered in forests. Unfortunately, it is estimated that in 100 years, there will be no forests left. (Rinkesh. 2017)The removal of forests can lead to imbalances ecologically, and environmentally, and it can result in a decrease of the
needs of information storage, energy storage and information reproduction. Human made polymers are a more recent invention, of the last two hundred years or so. These polymers are general made of highly flammable hydrocarbons and their derivatives. Fires caused by a combination of human careless and the physical properties of hydrocarbons have caused millions of dollars in property damage and claimed an untold number of human lives. It is this fact that has lead to scientists devoting time and resources
of World War I influence how war was fought? Stacy Shaw Word Count: Stacy Shaw Historical Investigation Paper 2/26/17 For my research paper I have chosen to research how the advanced technology of WWI influenced how war was fought. In this paper I will analyze how wars were fought before WWI and how during the war, new advancements changed the future of warfare. Themes about WWI the paper will include are weapons, vehicles, aircraft, ships, the frontline and support. For my first source I used
investigated. Victoria’s forest management police have reviewed in response to that logging may have contributed to the severity of bushfires in wet forests, such as the fires on Black Saturday in February 2009. In the areas affected by the Back Saturday fires research has shown that extensive logging had occurred before the fires. The most sever fires occur
Research: The terms hardwood and softwood refer to the density of wood, how hard it is, and how much weight it has. A dense hardwood like oak or maple has high energy content per cord, so it releases more heat and produces long-lasting embers. Hardwood is the best type of firewood for long lasting warmth and cooking but can sometimes be hard to ignite and split
Explore Unknown Map with Obstacles, Gas Detection, V- rep, Khepera III, Albers Algorithm. Abstract: Nowadays, using robots instead of humans in risk operations is an interesting point in the field of robotics. In this paper we introduce an integrated approach for search and rescue operation of detecting gas sources in large areas; e.g. houses, factories, and labs. This aims at saving people’s lives at bottlenecks resulting from gas leak and ignition of fires. Experiment is performed using master
Possible Gas Recovery from Darvaza Crater Introduction Near a small village named Darweze (Darvaza in Russian meaning gate), there is a burning crater named as DOOR TO HELL or HELL’S GATE. In 1971 (when Turkmenistan was a part of Soviet Union) a group of Soviet geologists and engineers found a huge reservoir of natural gas, which was later found to be fifth largest in the world. A drilling rig was setup to extract it. Unfortunately, due to primitive technology survey of the ground was not proper
