a. Sample Gathering Eight kilograms of coffee beans at different maturity stages (green cherry, yellow cherry, red cherry, over-ripe) will be collected from Cordillera highlands. These samples will be subjected to different tests to determine its physical characteristics such as moisture content, linear dimensions, surface area, bulk and true density, angle of repose and angle of friction. b. Moisture Content Determination For the determination of moisture content,air oven method will be used. Four

If oil waste reaches the shoreline or coast, it interacts with sediments such as beach sand and gravel, rocks and boulders, vegetation, and terrestrial habitats of both wildlife and humans, causing erosion as well as contamination . Waves, water currents, and wind move the oil onto shore with the surf and tide. Crude oil from the Sea Empress tanker spill coats a beach at Pembrokeshire, Wales in 1996. Although marine transportation accidents can result in such oil spills, they account for

surface with low volume. Such places can be your fingerprint, scratches on glass, specks of dust, or even Mentos candy (Eepy Bird). Mentos candies have a pitted surface that’s rough when looked at through a microscope, therefore creating a wonderful place for nucleation to occur. Water molecules like to be next to other water molecules, so if you drop something into the soda, like Mentos, it acts as a site for growth of bubbles. Mentos have a high ratio of surface area to volume, so there’s more

notable characteristic of an egg is how much an egg white can foam up. Why does this happen? Eggs are approximately 90 percent water and 10 percent protein. There is an electrical attraction between water molecules (for this reason you won't get any results from trying to whip up water alone) and when you beat them you are allowing the proteins to break apart the water molecules. When they get farther apart, the electric attraction decreases which allows the egg whites to spread out and bonds to

MARS – What resources are readily available on the Surface? Weather Conditions, Gravity. How long is a day, Seasonal changes? Soil conditions? In 2013, NASA's Curiosity rover discovered that Mars' soil contains between 1.5% and 3% water by mass (about two pints of water per cubic foot or 33 liters per cubic meter, albeit attached to other compounds and thus not freely accessible). Besides silicon and oxygen, the most abundant elements in the Martian crust are iron, magnesium, aluminum, calcium, and

Nothing had ever seemed more perfect and beautiful to Matti Raspel than the river just a mile from his house. Matti first came across the river when he was taking a bike tour. As he rounded a corner, the rough gravel threw him from his bicycle, sprawling him in front of an obscure path. Like a snake, curiosity coiled around Matti’s body until it had complete dominance over him. He followed the winding path through bushes and vines. Loose dead branches clinged to him, occasionally scratching him

Oink! Oink! I rotated my four year old head. Searching the mexican crowd for signs of the source. As I rested my hand on the rough red bricks. I noticed a tall man torturing a pig. A whip making a crack every couple seconds. His pants and short sleeve shirt shaking off dust during his follow through. Another short and skinny man held a firm grip on a brown leash. The pig hoofs brought up clouds of dust making it hard to see. Sometimes missing the ground and falling on its face. A split second later
