    The Effect of the Height of a Crater on Its Diameter My aim is to investigate the effect of testing varying heights on the size of the diameter of the crater formed. Introduction: A celestial body is an astronomical object or irregular body that varies in size and composition they are generally found in the inner solar system and mainly move in indirect orbits. When they are about to hit a moon or planet it causes the body to heat up, due to the friction between the body and the surface being collided

    the Wigunda Formation provides an effective seal for these highly porous intervals. Of secondary interest are fluviolacustrine lithologies intersected within the Loongana and lower Borda formations. Although of highly variable reservoir quality, these intervals have poor to moderate overall porosity, mainly due to the high depth of burial. Shales of the Madura and Toondi formations and intraformational shale of the Loongana Formation can provide adequate seal for these potential reservoirs. Major cap

    Many researchers are interested in depth perception and how different cues affect what is seen. There have been lots of studies done around depth perception. Some have done studies on how different cues affect binocular and monocular vision in depth perception (Reinhardt-Rutland, 1996). Others have studied how depth cues are used in tasks like computer- and video-based tasks (Westerman & Cribbin, 1998). Visual depth perception is using cues to perceive the world in three dimensions and the distance

    observed that more flow is intercepted at a lower road cross-sectional slope 4. Another assumption made by Izzard (1950), is that the flow depth from the beginning of the curb inlet to the end varies linearly along the curb inlet. This assumption in a real scenario may be flawed. To verify this, one would have to take depth measurements at numerous points along the curb inlet. The CDDDM AND HEC-12 equations were derived on the basis that the flow depth along the curb inlet begins to decrease linearly

    The changing nature of snow cover as a result of alpine climate change is a modern phenomenon that climate scientists are beginning to understand. Declining snow depth and duration have serious implications for Australia’s ski industry, in particular the longevity of the industry. This essay discusses the impacts of alpine climate change on snow cover, adaption strategies to sustain the industry’s economy as well as the unsustainable nature of snowmaking as a long term solution. Limitations on water

    same degree of toughness desired at its core. There are several different case hardening techniques used in the manufacturing industry. The different methods determine which physical properties, (such as surface hardness, strength, ductility, case depth and wear resistance) the component gets. This can be done by altering temperatures, heat source, time period, and quench media. Carburising This is a diffusion-based process used on low-carbon or mild steels where a component is subjected to thermochemical

    reaction would be increase. There only seemed to be one point slightly out of place in Group A’s Procedure 4. The only source of error in this circumstance would be, as previously described, only due to the reaction time with the timer, and the exact depth the filter paper was released. Ways in which the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide could be affected was learned. The lab exercise enhanced the understanding of the topic beyond textbook reading and class discussions through an engaging

    Heterozygosity is the measure of the genetic variation in a population at a particular gene locus. Genetic variation within a population is important in maintaining or increasing the fitness of members in the population and ultimately the survival of the species. Fitness is the ability for a species of a certain genotype to reproduce and is often times equal to the proportion of the individual’s genes in all the genes of the next generation. Positive correlations have been made between the heterozygosity

    Sound is a mechanical wave, propagating through a medium in order for it to travel (Venables 2011a). Ultrasound is defined as high frequency sound waves, above the audible range i.e. >20 kHz (Zidan et al. 2011). These waves are formed using the pulse-echo principle (Venables 2011a). This principle refers to the piezoelectric crystals which are situated in the transducer. When an alternating electrical voltage is applied across the transducer element (Lieu 2010), the element undergoes a series of
