Introduction

Natural resources for decades have always provided many nations with the affluent source of wealth that helps in building their economy. As such, many of the countries that majorly depend on the natural resources such as copper, oil, gold and uranium often embark on intensive mining practices to ensure their natural reserves are productive and can offer sustainability to their economies. Due to their dependency on these resources, the countries often have structures and laws that govern how they handle the resources in every stage to ensure maximization. It is important to highlight that the resources are most often ...

In most communities, family apartments were private spaces that offered a place of refuge and intimacy. Public spaces such as city squares were ideal for business dealings in addition to offices (Knowles, 2011, p. 130). This arrangement has since changed in the advent of information communication technology. Raymond Guess argues that the conception of privacy in modern times is where the identity of self-first has crumbled down (So-il.org, 2016). He goes further to observe that the community presently has the duty to promote and defend the security of individuals. Classic liberals are of the opinion that the basic right ...

The OECD Environmental Outlook to 2050 Report paints a grim picture of the Earth’s condition by 2050 (Holloway, 2012). Due to negligence towards the increasing environmental degradation, the changes in climatic conditions are likely to be severe. Simultaneously, it predicts a world population of 9.2 billion people with a global GDP of over 300 trillion USD, four times the 75 trillion USD it was in 2010 (Gillespie, 2014). Over 70 per cent of the population of the planet will live in cities by 2050, as compared to 50 per cent in 2008 (UNEP, 2010). To support ...

Mining in Australia involves the extraction, as well as the processing of a wide range of mineral resources spread across the country. The mining activities fall into various classification depending on the nature of the activity. These categories include coal mining, mining of oil and gas, mining of metal ores such as bauxite, and mining of construction materials (Connolly and Orsmond 26). Australia has an uneven distribution of mining resources, with some states better endowed than others. For instance, Western Australia has large deposits of iron ore and natural gas, whereas New South Wales and Queensland areas have plenty ...

Abstract

This experiment sort to find an accurate and most viable method that would be used in laboratories to the measurement of iron concentration in aqueous samples. The methodologies that were identified for further analysis included; colorimetric assay (molecular spectroscopy), flame atomic absorption spectroscopy, redox titration (volumetric) and cation exchange chromatography (EMA technique). These methods were analyzed of their advantages and later subjected to a validation test. In the process, a wide range of CRMs were used alongside six other samples that contained unknown iron concentration.

The experiment was thus, geared towards providing answers to statements like; the necessity of quantification of ...

There is no doubt that nearly 99 percent of all atmospheric sulfur dioxide is as a result of human activities. The chief sources of sulfur dioxide are industrial processes, for instance, those employed in the production of sulfuric coal, gas, and oil (AGDE, 2005). Additionally, some mineral ores have sulfur as a component, and when they are purified, sulfur dioxide is produced in the process. Another significant source of sulfur dioxide is fuel combustion by motor vehicles (AGDE, 2005).
Looking at these sources, countries that do not process coal or sulfuric mineral ores like Canada suffer because of the sulfuric ...

REPORT: Landscape Planning and Ecological Management: Plantation of bare root common trees.

Introduction
We often take trees and other flora, all around us, for granted maybe because almost all of us have seen trees and captured the word and their image deep inside our sub-consciousness. As we grow up, we learn about the benefits and advantages of trees parrot-fashion. No person or entity teaches us anything about the aesthetics so when we see captivating landscape photographs and images, we take in the beauty without taking in the trees. It is beyond this point that most of us change directions and go off towards modern, fast-process systems, which we then proceed ...

Aims

1. To observe and investigate the effects of osmosis across the cell membranes of a plant.
2. To investigate the ability of different molecules to diffuse across a selectively permeable membrane.

Introduction

All living cells are enclosed by an outer covering known as plasma or cell membranes. In addition, these plasma membranes serve as barriers between different compartments in the body to confine processes and materials to certain locations. Examples of these processes are diffusion and osmosis which are the main physiological processes that play important roles in the body. Diffusion can be defined as the process by which molecules move ...
