    Summers creates a more credible argument. He sites from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, “plastic bags, sacks, and wraps of all kinds (not just grocery bags) make up only about 1.6 percent of all municipal solid waste materials. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) bags, which are the most common kind of plastic grocery bags make up just 0.3 percent of this total.” From this statistic, plastic bags are not using a lot of waste that the average person would assume. Also, most users of plastic

    crystalline form to determine the melting point. The polymer of low-molecular substance exist very low melting point and this happened when polymer chain is dispersed. In physical state melting point is very difficult to calculate. Polymer will decompose at high temperature rather than melts. It is also known as crystalline melting temperature. Glass Transition Temperature:- Polymer drop the temperature below glass transition

    Long term exposure in space poses multiple threats to astronauts who are tasked to complete high risk and reward missions. Some of the most prominent threats include loss of muscle mass, decrease in bone density, and weakening of the immune system. Other dangerous potential effects are alteration in circadian rhythms and exposure to radiation. Each effect either has current treatments, or are currently being researched to discover more effective forms to combat the potential dangers they pose.

    distribution, and disposal. Once these aspects of their use are considered, it is clear that the convenience of plastic shopping bags do not justify the harms to the ecosystem caused by their existence. Plastic bags are usually made out of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a strong, durable plastic made from ethylene monomers (Clark). 134 million metric tons of ethylene are produced each year as of 2014, with 28% of that production going towards the manufacture of HDPE (Lazonby, “Ethene”). Ethylene

    that 26 ± 5% higher 50% was required to detach A549 cells from functionalized nanotextured PDMS versus plain PDMS. These results can be attributed to the larger capture area and higher density of antibodies on the surface. Assuming a hexagonal close-packed neutravidin layer [124] the neutravidin surface density on plain and nanotextured PDMS was estimated to be 1.36 x 109 and 2.5 x 109 per mm2, respectively. A biotin-fluorophore conjugate was used to verify the increased presence of neutravidin

    Soil consists of billions of minute living organisms, bugs and rodents. (Weather video clip-soil, 2004) It is necessary that the mixture of these organisms, bugs and rodents work together to produce healthy soil. As plants, trees and carcass’ decompose, they produce phosphorus, which is required to have healthy vegetation in soil. Another key ingredient for healthy soil is nitrates produced by nitrogen in the air mixing with condensation of water leaking into soil, which also produces healthy soil

    In order to design composite liner, the interface shear behavior of HDPE and CCLs needs to be considered since it causes risk of sliding failure. During landfill operation, the interface shear behavior can be influenced by many factors. Wastes are placed in the landfill sites with specific sequences, the landfill final cover is gradually built with these sequences. As a result, parts of the slope liner can be exposed to F-T cycles in landfill located in cold regions. Thus, the temperature change
