    Ancient Egypt The Nile is the source of the ancient Egyptian civilization. While much is known about their dependence on the annual Nile floods for the success of their agriculture, less is known about their water law as no relevant legal codes have been found. Nonetheless water law must have existed similar to Mesopotamia. Yet we do know some about the importance of the Nile through a number of sources. An early “Hymn of the Nile,” from c. 2100 bce, identifies the Nile as the source of prosperity:

    Constitution. In this paper, I will argue that, although Locke’s conception of property rights is not realized in current American environmental policy, his ideas could be realistically implemented. Locke’s ideas on government focus primarily on the role of property. All men are born in a state of natural equality (Locke,

    A qualitative property is something that is not measured and has does not have numerical values. These observations can be seen through appearance. Quantitative is a property of a substance that can be measured and indeed does have numerical values. These observations can be measured in certain ways, for example, height. In the observations both qualitative and quantitative observations were found. The reason being is that many descriptions for the substances are described through things such as

    Constructal optimization of water and nano fluid flow for micro channel heat sinks with rectangular cross-section Abstract In this paper, three-dimensional water and Al2O3-water nano fluid flow and heat transfer is optimized geometrically using constructal theory. A numerical code based on the finite volume method and SIMPLER algorithm is developed to solve the governing equations. The code is carefully validated by comparing numerical predictions with experimental data. In this study we consider

    Covalent and Ionic Physical Properties Pre-Lab: Question: Can different substances (sodium chloride, potassium chloride, DI water, alcohol, salad oil, sugar solution, tap water, sucrose and shortening) be classified and proved as ionic or covalent according to the physical properties (volatility, melting point, solubility, electrical conductivity) they demonstrate? Hypothesis: It was hypothesized that the Sodium Chloride and Potassium Chloride will have a low volatility, high melting point and will

    with a non-metal. The properties of salt include: A high melting point (800℃), solubility in water and the ability to conduct electricity once it is dissolved in water because of the free electrons ("Analysis of Ionic"). How the separation technique would work: The reason the salt can dissolve in the water is due to the fact that water is a polar molecule, this means that the particles are asymmetrically arranged, and have partial positive and negative charges. As water is made of of hydrogen and

    investigate whether black tea has antimicrobial properties as stated in Steven Johnson’s The Ghost Map. If tea does have antimicrobial properties, then it could aid in warding off waterborne diseases. We believed that if black tea is steeped in boiled water, then the amount of bacteria exposed to this solution would decrease. We expected to see no difference in the amount of bacteria exposed to the black tea solution. Tannic acid, black tea, boiled water, and a tetracycline antibiotic were tested

    Physical Properties The purpose of this lab was to see how certain substances; Naphthalene, Toulene, and and 2 unknowns (one liquid, one solid) react with 3 different solvents. To identify the two unknowns, testing needs to be done to find the density of both the liquid and the solid, determine the melting point of the solid, and the boiling point of the liquid. The Physical Properties of Pure Substances Table can then be used to compare the observed results with the accurate properties from the

    is important to know characteristic properties. Characteristic properties are a substance that has the same result and the amount of the substance doesn’t affect it. For example, in distillation, they would need to figure out what substances boils at this certain degree. For the sludge lab, they will measure boiling point, density, flammability, and more. They need to measure characteristic properties because only one substance has that characteristic property. When Abshir and Shelstie first got
