Chapter 19 Lecture Outline* Conventional Energy Outline What is Energy? How Energy Is Used Coal Oil Natural Gas Nuclear Power Nuclear Fission Reactors Types Waste Management Nuclear Fusion How Do We Measure Energy? Work - application of force over distance (measured in joules) Energy - the capacity to do work Power - rate at which work is done (measured in watts) Newton - force needed to accelerate 1 kg 1 meter per second Joule - amount of work done when a force of 1 newton is exerted over 1 meter

Grace Park Period 4 Chapter 8 Population Ecology Objectives 1)? Clumping? -Examples are patches of desert vegetation around springs, cottonwood trees clustered along streams, wolf packs, flocks of geese, and schools of fish. The location and size of these clumps vary with the availability of resources. MOST COMMON (why?)- (1) Resources a species needs caru greatly in availability from place to place (2) Living in herds, flocks, and schools can provide some animals with better protection from predators and population decline (3) Living in packs gives some predator species such as wolves a better chance of getting a meal (4) Some animals species form temporary groups for mating and caring for their young.

[1] Chemical evolution of the organic molecules, biopolymers, and systems of chemical reactions needed to form the first cells; Took 1 billion years. Chemists have also conducted lab experiments showing how simple inorganic compounds believed to be in the earth?s early atmosphere might have reacted to produce amino acids, simple sugars, and other organic molecules used as building blocks for the proteins, complex carbohydrates, RNA, and DNA needed for life. [3] Biological evolution by natural selection involves the change in a population's genetic makeup through successive generations.. The development of genetic variability in a population occurs through mutations: random changes in the structure or number of DNA molecules in a

Test 1 Essay Questions 1 Test 1 Essay Questions Tori Smith Bartlett High School AP Environmental Science Rivard - 7 Test 1 Essay Questions 2 Do you believe that the footprint model can be useful even if its methodology needs to be refined? Why or why not? Yes, I do believe that the footprint model can be useful even if its methodology needs to be refined because even with slightly inaccurate data it conveys the necessity to practice sustainable development in order to maintain Earth?s resources for future generations. The ?Ecological Footprint? model is able to answer many lingering questions of conservationists and businessmen alike, such as: ?how much nature do we have? how much do we use? and are we in

High Resolution Algorithms for Multidimensional Population Balance Equations Rudiyanto Gunawan, Irene Fusman, and Richard D. Braatz Dept. of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801 DOI 10.1002/aic.10228 Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com). Population balance equations have been used to model a wide range of processes including polymerization, crystallization, cloud formation, and cell dynamics. Rather than developing new algorithms speci?c to population balance equations, it is proposed to adapt the high-resolution ?nite volume methods developed for compressible gas dynamics, which have been applied to aerodynamics, astrophysics, detonation waves, and related

The Issue In this power point you will see why our issue is so important Our solutions to solve The issue Our issue Is how to effectively maintain landfill space and continue to recycle items efficiently? Statistic that support our issue Interviews with experts to show there thoughts 1 Do u remember the handout we got in class today? Arguments Scope This issue affects everyone in the county who creates trash and needs immediate attention. Intensity If land fills completely fill there will have to be multi-million dollar construction projects payed for with tax dollars Arguments Duration Has been an issue since we have had people producing more trash that than the fills can handle. Resources people will have to be more conscious what they do with there waste

Waste Management Table of Contents-Issue The main question we are trying to answer here is, how to effectively maintain landfill space and continue to recycle items efficiently in Baltimore County? In this power point you will see why our issue is so important and how it affects our daily lives Our solutions to solve The issue We will also go over who we need to contact in order for our solutions to work Statistics that support our issue Interviews with experts and companies to show there thoughts and what they personally are doing to solve this problem Arguments Scope This issue affects people in Baltimore county who create trash (everyone) and fail to recycle objects. Since so many people are apart of this problem, it can get a lot of attention of the policy makers
