Typically, as nature starts the transformation process from summer to fall, the green leaves on the trees begin to change into colors of reds, golds, browns, and oranges. Eventually, the leaves fall off the trees onto the ground. Three factors contribute to the change in leaf color according to USDA’s Northeastern Area Forest Service website, which include leaf pigments, length of night, and weather. The increasing length of night and other ecological influences such as the temperature, rainfall…

Organization structure wise, the lumen team and absorb team are quite similar. Each team has a team leader, a team focused on marketing and commercialization, and a team of technical experts. The members of these two teams all seem to have substantial amount of industrial experience and technical competency. However, the two teams differ greatly with regards to the motivation level of the individual team member, efficiency and productivity, and teamwork environment. These differences are mostly…

Energy: Energy is the ability to work. The definition of work is every time a force is exerted on something through a distance. An in depth explanation would define doing work as mechanical energy. An example of one of the many different types of energy is when you kick a soccer ball you are using the maximum amount of kinetic energy and the least amount of potential energy. The energy formula is Power multiplied by time which is then divided by joules (a way of measuring energy) which is watts multiplied…

concepts were exemplified in this experiment and one particular goal of this lab was to learn more about the Beer-Lambert Law which establishes a linear relationship between the concentration of a solution and the amount of light that the solution absorbs. Moreover, another objective of this experiment was to gain an understanding about the mechanical components of a spectrophotometer and to successfully use the device to measure absorbance or transmittance values. Lastly, another goal of this lab…

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. The Colors of the rainbow, color shapes how we see our world. Color has been around before dinosaurs, and before that, and what ever was before that, so whenever that was color was there. There will always be an infinite amount of color because blending colors makes new colors and blending those colors makes, you get the point. But are we really seeing theses colors? Is our brains just misleading us? Those questions will be answered through this…

Executive Summery Radiant Cosmetics, founded in the 1930s, had been one of the top five cosmetic companies in the U.S. for more than 60 Radiant’s product lines cover hair care, skin care, makeup, and perfume. Cosmetic is a highly competitive industry because of its huge market and lucrative profit. The number of cosmetics consumers have been increasing and is estimated to hit 161 billion in the U.S. by The same phenomenon happens global wildly. With the increasing income, more women get extra…

How is energy transferred? This question can be answered in many ways and forms, let’s elaborate.
Energy in the dictionary meaning is, ‘the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity’. In my own view, energy is the most vital and unrecognized strength this world has. Energy can make anything move or perform certain movements or tasks, it can even be used to make non-living things move. That is called Kinetic Energy. Kinetic energy is energy that is stored and used by…

Lexie Phongthai-Yochum Mr. Alexander May 3, 2016 Solar Energy Solar energy is the most plentiful and purist renewable energy source available. Because it is completely natural, it is considered to be a clean energy source. It does not disrupt the environment or threaten the Eco-systems the way oil and some other energy sources tend to. Nor does it cause greenhouse gases, air or water pollution. Solar energy is an immensely important aspect of life and has been since the beginning of time. Increasingly…

concept of using radiant and convection heat for comfort has been around since early man. People chose south facing caves because the sun would warm up the rocks during the day and radiate the heat into the cave at night. The flames from a fire also gave off radiant heat. Technology has developed to control radiant and convection heat. Radiant heating and cooling (RHC) systems utilize the surrounding surfaces as heating and/or cooling sources. Generally, RHC systems are systems that radiant heat transfers…

2.6 Solar Energy 2.6.1 Introduction Energy from the sun is called solar energy. The Sun’s energy comes from nuclear fusion reaction that takes place deep in the sun. Hydrogen nucleus fuse into helium nucleus. The energy from these reactions flow out from the sun and escape into space. Solar energy is sometimes called radiant energy. These are different kinds of radiant energy emitted by sun. The most important are light infrared rays. Ultra violet rays, and X- Rays. The sun is a large sphere of very…
