Frank J. Horgan Filtration Plant
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1105.... were supervised by the Engineering
firm of James F. Macharen Limited. Although it is the newest plant, it had it’s
disasters. Their intake value exploded twice between 1980 and 1995 because of
the extreme pressure and Wight of the water. these incidents cause a shutdown of
the plant until they could repair it.
Production
The Frank J. Horgan Filtration Plant needs only one row materials to
operate, which is water. The plant is right next to lake Ontario, collecting
water to purify. The water enters the plant by means of two 114 and four 182
million litres per day pumps, .....

Environmental Satire
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 658.... it. We as humans waste countless hours of our lives worrying about the future. Whether it’s asteroids or Y2K, it’s always something. It is said that in the future, with global warming, temperatures outdoors will be too hot to survive in. But what is the future? Is the future tomorrow, maybe next month, or next century? The fact is by the time all of the problems that we worry about surface, we will have been dead for hundreds of years. We’ll be safe somewhere in the afterlife with our children and their children. We don’t have to worry about .....

Alkanes
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 362.... As mentioned above chloroform can be produced which can be used for
anesthesia. Also dichloromethane, or paint stripper and 1,2-dichloroethane
which is a dry cleaning fluid. Here is a sample reaction where a halogen
replaces a hydrogen. CH4(g) + C12(g) ----> CH3Cl(g) + HCl(g)
There are many uses for alkanes, for instance: Propane is used in gas
grills, butane is used in cigarette lighters, through various reactions
scientists can make paint stripper, anesthesia or dry cleaning fluid. The
Pentanes and Hexanes are also highly flammable and make really cool explosions. .....

Longitude
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 834.... observations, Halley concluded that the moon’s rate of revolution around the earth was accelerating overtime.
John Harrison was a simple clockmaker and a self-educated person who was accredited for finding by means of a timekeeper. John built his first pendulum watch in 1713. It was constructed entirely out of wood. Harrison called his first sea clock Harrison’s No. 1 or H-1 for short. H-1 was bar-shaped, built out of shinny brass, and was big in size. His second attempt was called H-2. H-2 was a heavy weight of 86 pounds, but fitted into a small box as Joh .....

Environment Report: Tidal Power In The Bay Of Fundy
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1554.... the Bay.
This section also experiences two high and two low tides each day (semi
- diurnal), with a tidal range varying from 15 to 18 feet, depending on the type
of tides. High - water heights vary from 22 to 28 feet and low - water heights
vary from 0 to 7 feet above chart data. Because of these semi - diurnal tides
and the action of the St John River, slack water in the Habour occurs at
approximately tides and not at high or low water as would be the case at other
parts.
THE RHYTHMIC RISE AND FALL
In the Bay of Fundy, the tides are spectacularly large. While the rise
and .....

Copper
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 664.... tons.
When copper is being mined, both Native copper and copper ore
are usually found. The highest grade of copper ore is pale silvery gray. Miners
used to be always in danger in copper mines. Today, we have reduced a fair
amount of these hazards. Miners wear hats made of iron or very hard plastic.
This is to protect them from falling rocks. Lamps are also attached to these
helmets in case some of the lighting in the mine goes out leaving a miner
stranded in the dark. One of the biggest problems with mining is that in some
places dangerous gas’s may exist, like Carbon Mon .....

Atmospheric Circulation And More
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 685.... seasons.
The idealized belt model is a great representation of the general
circulation of the atmosphere. The equatorial belt of variable winds and
calms ranges from 5 degrees north to 5 degrees south. This wind belt is
characterized by weak winds and low pressure from the inter tropical
convergence zone. As you go further north or south you encounter the
Hadley Cells. Hadley cell circulation is caused by the movement of high
pressure from the latitudes at 5 to 30 degrees north and 5 to 30 degrees
south to low pressure areas around the equato .....

Mutations
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 733.... codons, each of which specifies a particular amino acid. (Proteins are composed of amino acids.) A codon consists of a sequence of three bases--for example, GAG or TCA. The four bases can be assembled into 64 possible codons. Because proteins are built from only 20 amino acids, most amino acids are specified by more than one codon.
occur when one base is substituted for another or when one or more bases are inserted or deleted from a gene. Substitution affect only one codon, and in most cases the effect is minimal. One reason is the redundancy of the genetic code mentioned .....
