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 Effect of Radiation in Inducing Mutation On the Growth of Zea mays1 Milanie Joy S. Baradi BIO 30 Section S-1L October 10, 2011 ____________________ 1A scientific paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in Biology 30 laboratory under Professor Neilyn O. Villa, 1st semester, 2011-2012. ABSTRACT To determine the effects of gamma radiation in inducing mutation on the growth of corn (Zea mays), an experiment using corn seeds exposed in to different
“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
Introduction Data transfer from one device to another has become an extremely important task of our daily life, using our phones to send pictures or connecting our laptops to the internet and quite more examples in our daily life have become dependent on this connection, hence researches and huge investments are being forward to better the quality. The current technologies, which are mainly radio waves, offer slow connection when the bandwidth is shared on multiple connections, ergo the user can
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
) Description of the HPGe gamma-ray spectrometer A high resolution gamma detection system was used for gamma analysis. This system consist of an ORTEC hyper pure germanium detector (HPGe), model number GEM- 15190, coaxial type detector with a serial number 27-P-1876A recommended operating bias, negative 3 Kv. The detector used has crystal diameter 49.3 mm, and crystal length 47.1 mm. The HPGe detector has a full width at half maximum (FWHM) 0.9 keV at the 122 keV gamma transition of Co-57 and 1.9
