...At one time Mount Lofty was a range covered with wildlife and landforms. Nowadays Mount Lofty Range is uncared for and unfortunately causing it to slowly disappear. There has been amounts of trees cut down for industrial purpose when they cut down the trees it takes away homes of these birds, and that means the birds have nowhere to live. There are only around five hundred birds left in the Mount Lofty Range areas that were once covered in wood. The woods are being cut down and that will make the birds extinct. On top of the birds becoming extinct, numerous other animals will also become extinct in the Mount Lofty Ranges. This is a horrific loss of the bird’s habitat. The birds and other wildlife depend on it to survive, for their food, water,...

...look at the formation and composition of the Northern Oregon Coast Range, we have to take in the coast range as a whole first and perhaps even the state, so that we can attain the fullest breadth of knowledge for how this small section of land came to exist. The Northern Oregon Coast range is located in the North-West corner of Oregon. It is the north section of the coastal mountain range that borders Oregon. The Oregon coast range is divided into three sections; Northern, Central, and Southern Coast Ranges. The Northern Coast Range is the youngest of the three, while the Southern is the oldest. The Northern Coast Range also contains more sedimentary rock than its southern counterpart (Oregon Coast). The climate along the coast range is temperate, with heavy rainfall averaging one-hundred inches per year (Roering)....

...Acid and Base Extraction Finding the unknown compound by extraction using their conjugate acid and base. Huda Introduction The purpose of the acid and base extraction lab is to determine the unknown mixture that contains three compounds which is made of an organic acid, an organic base and an organic neutral. To find out what the unknown compounds are found in the mixture, a series of techniques are done. To extract the compounds from the given unknown mixture, they were changed back to their conjugate acids by adding a strong acid and back to their conjugate bases by adding a strong base. The first technique is called extraction in which organic Bases and organic acids are separated from neutral compounds and from each other by using an aqueous solution of different PH values. Compounds that contain less than six carbons are not affected by changing the pH value. The compounds are extracted based on the solubility properties of the acid, bases and salts. The unknown compound will be dissolved in dichloromethane and HCl will be added and extraction will occur by mixing the solution and removing the aqueous layer. The extracted aqueous layer will be isolated by adding NaOH which will make the solution basic that will lead it to precipitate. The organic acid will be extracted NaOH to the dichloromethane solution and separating the aqueous solution. The majority of organic carboxylic acids are highly soluble in dilute NaOH since the acid gets deprotonated by the base and...

...Jeneva Jackson Determination of pH of variety of substances Introduction For most of the experiments below, you will need a pH paper, pH indicator, electronic pH meter, stirring rod, antacid tablets, solutions to be tested and a spot plate. The pH indicator has a chemical that changes color when it comes in contact with acids or bases. For example, the litmus and pH paper turns red if the acid is strong and turns blue if the base is strong. There are only a few pH indicators that measure pH over a wide variety of pH values. Therefore you will need to find out the pH range of the indicator you use. Color pH indicators only provide an approximate measure of the pH, or the strength of the acid or base(swc2.hccs.edu). They are not as accurate as the instruments the scientists use to measure pH, but they acceptable for the experiments below. What is the pH of various solutions? There were two experiments conducted: The Pre-Lab Exercise and Procedure B. Pre-Lab Exercise In this experiment, two different approaches were used to measure the pH for a variety of substances. One was the pH paper and the other was the electronic pH meter. | pH measured with pH paper | pH measured with pH meter | calculate the following values using the pH values obtained with pH meter | Solution | | | pOH | [H3O+] | [OH−] | soap solution | 8 | 7 | 7.00 | 1.00E-07 | 1.00E-07 | Coffee | 4 | 4.69 | 9.31 | 2.04E-05 | 4.90E-10 | lemon juice | 2 | 2.35 | 11.65 | 4.47E-03 | 2.24E-12...

Specifically, a shortest distance routing protocol is implemented, and total network system lifetimes are determined using a variety of small percentages of the available system nodes. Using a network simulator developed in Java, wireless sensor nodes are simulated, and power consumption algorithms are included in each node that take into consideration all aspects of power consumption in the operation of the node. Simulating different coverage schemes on the same network system, same initial power sources, and routing protocol, an increase of overall system lifetime of 900% is demonstrated, but also that the network lifetime increase does...

...------------------------------------------------- History and Evolution | ITC was incorporated on August 24, 1910 under the name Imperial Tobacco Company of India Limited. As the Company's ownership progressively Indianised, the name of the Company was changed from Imperial Tobacco Company of India Limited to India Tobacco Company Limited in 1970 and then to I.T.C. Limited in 1974. In recognition of the Company's multi-business portfolio encompassing a wide range of businesses - Cigarettes & Tobacco, Hotels, Information Technology, Packaging, Paperboards & Specialty Papers, Agri-business, Foods, Lifestyle Retailing, Education & Stationery and Personal Care - the full stops in the Company's name were removed effective September 18, 2001. The Company now stands rechristened 'ITC Limited'. The Company’s beginnings were humble. A leased office on Radha Bazar Lane, Kolkata, was the centre of the Company's existence. The Company celebrated its 16th birthday on August 24, 1926, by purchasing the plot of land situated at 37, Chowringhee, (now renamed J.L. Nehru Road) Kolkata, for the sum of Rs 310,000. This decision of the Company was historic in more ways than one. It was to mark the beginning of a long and eventful journey into India's future. The Company's headquarter building, 'Virginia House', which came up on that plot of land two years later, would go on to become one of Kolkata's most venerated landmarks. Though the first six decades of the Company's existence...

...vehicles. The technology itself is not in question—many of the global automobile companies are planning to sell plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and/or battery electric vehicles (BEVs) by 2012. The key question is, will Americans buy them? The answer depends on four additional questions: 1. Is the cost of purchasing and operating an electric vehicle more or less expensive than the cost of a comparable conventional gasoline-powered vehicle? 2. Are the comparative costs likely to change over the next twenty years? 3. Do electric vehicles provide the same attributes as conventional cars, and if not, do the differences matter? 4. Will electric car owners be able to access the electricity needed to power their vehicles? This paper attempts to answer these four questions. There are two basic categories of electric vehicles—electric vehicles (BEVs), which run solely on the electric energy stored in the battery, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), which operate on both a rechargeable battery and a gasoline-powered engine. With both types of vehicles, the...

...Red Cabbage Juice; an Accurate or Not So Accurate Indicator for pH Tammy Daniel BIOL2101 9/28/12 Ms. Hunter INTRODUCTION The pH scale is based on the number of hydrogen ions in a solution. The actual concentration of hydrogen ions, [H+], and hydroxyl ions [OH] in moles per liter are indicated for each pH value noted. Acidity and alkalinity can be demonstrated on the pH scale, which ranges from zero to fourteen. Anything less than seven is acidic and anything greater than seven is basic. Seven is neutral with an even concentration of H+ and HO- ions. The farther from the center of the scale a substance is the stronger of an acid or base it is. For example an acid with a pH of one or two is a very strong acid, while a six is a weak acid. As well, a base of thirteen or fourteen is a very much stronger base than that of a pH of eight. The measurements on the pH scale are logarithmic, with each unit representing tenfold change in H+ ion concentration. The idea of the pH scale was devised by a Danish biochemist and part-time beer brewer named Soren Sorensen in 1909. He was searching for a convenient means of checking the acidity of his alcoholic product to prevent its spoilage by bacterial action. (Human Anatomy and Physiology; Seventh Edition ) Acids are proton donors while bases are proton acceptors. Referring to the pH scale numbers zero to fourteen, stomach acid and lemon juice are examples of strong acids having a pH of one and two while ammonia is an example...
