    Background During photosynthesis plants use the suns energy to form chemical bonds on carbohydrates. The formula for photosynthesis is 6CO2 +6H2O + 686 kilocalories C6H12O6 + 6O2. The carbon comes from the atmosphere and the water (H2O) comes from what the tree is able to absorb from the soil. The light in the equation comes from the sun. This is able to be absorbed by different pigments in the plants leaf. The pigments are stored in organelles called chloroplasts; these organelles are

    “The shockwave petunia series has found its niche as the only small-flowered spreading series from seed. They are one of the earliest to flower in the spreading petunia class, and they yield a proliferation of 1 1/2 - 2" blooms that blanket the mounded plants.” (Harris, 2014). Plant Physiology Pigments are chemical compounds, which reflect and absorb only certain wavelengths of visible light. Because pigments interact with light to absorb only certain wavelengths, pigments are useful to plants

    What is Low-E Glass? According to the educationcenter.PPG.com (1), “Glass is one of the most popular and versatile building materials used today.” A big reason is because of its solar and thermal performance. And one way these efficiencies are achieved is through the use of passive and solar controls in the coatings of the glass. As with anything, there is a reason we do and a reason we don’t do something. Low-E glass is no different. There is pros and cons to doing this treatment to your building

    The JSX-3222 analyzer is an energy-dispersive fluorescent X-ray spectrometer developed to analyze cadmium (Cd) included in plastic and the electric wire film material, etc. promptly. The elements range that can be measured is from sodium (Na) to uranium (U). Liquid-nitrogen cooling for the high performance detector is needed only during the analyzing time. The vacuum and atmosphere are switched to the measurement atmosphere by the one button operation. When X-rays (primary X-rays) are illuminated

    Metamaterial Cloaking Soumay Gupta1 and Tanvi Sharma1 14116067 14116070 1 E&C Department, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee Abstract Metamaterials have been a subject of increasing interest due to their ability to manipulate the flow of EM waves. We analyse the mechanism by which metamaterials are able to exhibit this property which is exploited to develop the Harry Potter-esque invisibility cloaks. We briefly discuss the whole new branch of optics called “Transformation

    Abstract—Diabetes is considered to be one of the major health care epidemics of modern era. The determination of blood glucose concentration using the self-monitoring blood glucose devices involves the chemical analysis of blood samples taken by pricking the finger or extracting blood from forearm. The pain, discomfort and inconvenience in the current invasive method have led to the feasibility study of non-invasive measurement techniques. In this paper, an optical method using NIR technique based
