In a study conducted by Yale University in 2012, 58% of Americans admitted they knew little to nothing about fracking. Be an educated consumer of your energy. Check out our presentation that debunks common myths about fracking.
With national talk about the Keystone XL pipeline, it's crucial to be educated about the dynamics of the gas transportation system. No matter what side you take in the debate, take the time to educate yourself on where your energy comes from.
This document discusses the principles and applications of refraction of light. It begins by defining refraction as the bending of light when passing from one medium to another. Snell's law provides a mathematical relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction. The index of refraction is a value that describes how fast light travels in a medium compared to a vacuum. Total internal reflection and fiber optics are applications that make use of refraction. Lenses are used to form images by refracting light, with the lens equation and lensmaker's equation relating focal length and object/image positions. Sample problems demonstrate applying these optical concepts.
Presentation Pillow Cases (Germany, Malta, Spain)Franzilichen
This document provides information for starting a business selling pillow cases in Malta. It describes the pillow cases as being made of micro suede and measuring 40cm by 40cm. The target audience is described as people of all ages. Two potential locations, Valletta and Zaragoza, are analyzed and Valletta is chosen based on lower rent and higher buying power. Sales projections include starting in Valletta and expanding to other cities. Cost analysis shows a break-even point of selling 1500 pillow cases. The document also discusses co-workers needed, a SWOT analysis, and the primary local competitor Atrium.

This document discusses the connections between heat and work through the laws of thermodynamics. It introduces the three laws of thermodynamics:
1) The zeroth law establishes that thermal equilibrium is transitive.
2) The first law states that the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the heat added minus the work done.
3) The second law establishes that heat cannot spontaneously flow from a cold to a hot body, and limits the maximum possible efficiency of heat engines and refrigerators.
Heat engines and refrigerators/heat pumps are then discussed as examples of applying the laws of thermodynamics to transfer heat from hot to cold reservoirs to produce work or vice versa. Key concepts like
This document discusses light and its measurable properties and interactions with matter. It covers calculating the speed of light through historic experiments by Roemer and Fizeau. It also discusses photometry, including luminous intensity, luminous flux, and illuminance. Finally, it examines the interactions of light with matter, such as reflection, absorption, transmission, and scattering. Key light properties and metrics like candela, lumen, and lux are defined.
The document discusses the key properties of sound:
Pitch refers to the highness or lowness of a sound and depends on the frequency of vibrations. Intensity refers to the energy of a sound wave and is measured in watts per meter squared. Loudness is a subjective measure of how loud a sound seems and is related to intensity, distance from the source, and condition of the transmitting medium. Quality or timbre distinguishes one sound from another by other characteristics beyond pitch and loudness. The document provides examples of the intensity and loudness of common sounds to illustrate these concepts.
The document discusses the nature of light and the electromagnetic spectrum. It begins by introducing the electromagnetic spectrum, which consists of seven classes of electromagnetic waves including radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. The document then reviews the historical debates on whether light behaves as particles or waves, including evidence that supported each view. Finally, the document concludes that light has a dual nature, behaving at times as a particle and at times as a wave, based on experiments such as the photoelectric effect.
The document discusses the science of sound and acoustics. It defines sound as a longitudinal wave that carries energy through vibrations of matter and is propagated through a medium. The audible range for humans is between 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, while frequencies lower than 20 Hz are infrasonic and higher are ultrasonic. Some animals can detect ultrasonic frequencies. Factors that affect the speed of sound include the phase, density, elasticity, and temperature of the medium. The speed of sound is faster in denser, more elastic solids and liquids. In air, the speed of sound increases by 0.6 m/s for every degree Celsius increase in temperature.
El documento resume brevemente la historia del desarrollo de Internet desde 1969 hasta la actualidad. En 1969 se creó la primera conexión entre dos universidades, en 1978 se estableció la primera red no militar, en 1989 Tim Berners-Lee desarrolló la World Wide Web, y en los años siguientes surgieron importantes sitios web y servicios como Wikipedia, iTunes, MySpace, Skype, Facebook y Google Chrome.
The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of a new drug on memory and cognitive function in older adults. The double-blind study involved 100 participants aged 65-80 and found that those given the drug performed significantly better on memory and problem-solving tests than the placebo group after 6 months. However, longer term effects beyond the 6 month period studied are still unknown.
El documento presenta un plan de actividades para una lección sobre el sistema circulatorio. La lección consiste en 3 ítems: 1) Identificar el nombre del sistema circulatorio, 2) Completar un rompecabezas sobre este sistema, y 3) Responder preguntas sobre las características de los vasos sanguíneos como arterias, venas y capilares.
O documento discute o que é mangá, como surgiu no Japão feudal inspirado em teatros de sombra, e como se desenvolveu com influência dos quadrinhos americanos no século 20. Também menciona como os mangás são produzidos pelos mangakas, que trabalham longas horas sob pressão para entregar capítulos semanalmente às editoras.
