It is used as fodder for farm animals, fuel, and electrical needs, as a buffer strip and soil erosion control. However, when President Bush introduced The Biofuels Initiative during his 2006 state of the nation address, he moved this native prairie grass’ use as an energy crop to the forefront. The Biofuels Initiative is a critical part of the president’s advanced energy initiatives. It s... | Read more... An Overview of the Sun (via CobWeb/3.1 kupl1.ittc.ku.edu) Author : Richard Monk The Sun is the centerpiece of our solar system, the gravity force that keeps everything together. Here is an overview of this source of our existence. An Overview of the Sun The Sun is a star, one of billions in the known universe. It is similar to other stars you see in the night sky, but is prominent in our lives because we orbit it once every 365 days. The process pivotal in the creation of the Sun goes on to this very day. Roughly 4... | Read more... Ranting and Raving about Renewable Energy (via CobWeb/3.1 kupl1.ittc.ku.edu) Author : Jim Fritz Renewable energy is not a new concept. While it may appear to be a rather fashionable topic of conversation in certain circles, renewable energy initiatives have been with us since the dawn of man. There is some debate about the accepted definition of renewable energy, but it can be loosely defined as a form of energy that is essentially inexhaustible. Furthermore, the resource is continually replenished by various natural processes identifiab... | Read more... Nanotechnology (via CobWeb/3.1 kupl1.ittc.ku.edu) Author : dasan As the horizons of technology expand, the real world is shrinking into a Global Village; Nanotechnology is the new area of interest in technology. Nanotechnology is an umbrella term that covers many areas of research dealing with objects that are measured in nanometers or billionth of meter. It is a hybrid science combining engineering and chemistry. The goal of nanotechnology is to manipulate atoms individually and place them in a pattern t... | Read more... Chandrayan I Author : dasan It was on July 20, 1969 that "Eagle", the lunar module landed on the moon and American Astronaut Neil Armstrong took "that one small step" paving way for "a giant leap for mankind" . In 2007-08, India will launch Chandrayan I, which will be closely followed by China's CHANGE-I. Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is spear-heading all the activities in the field. Chandrayan I, India's first unmanned mission to moon was announced on Au... | Read more... What Judges Look for In Science Fair Projects Author : Professor Know Science fair judges have specific things in mind when they review projects. Sure, they like interesting pictures, colorful displays and seeing clever ideas, but they also look for other, more specific, technical features. Let's take a peak at some grading sheets from a few science fairs. One school used a point system to rate the most important elements of the project. The ratings are below. What can we learn from this example judging s... | Read more... Understanding the Scientific Method Author : Professor Know Understanding the scientific method and how to follow it is critical to building a good reputation in the technical community. In regards to science fairs, as a student progresses in grade levels the judges are going to demand more and more focus on using the scientific method. Here is my seven step description of the scientific method. 1. Define the question 2. Gather information and resources 3. Form hypothesis 4. Perform experiment and c... | Read more... President Clinton says Biotech Industry has a Job to Do Author : Alis At the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) convention earlier this month in Chicago, former President Bill Clinton sent a message to those in attendance: the biotechnology industry has a job to do. In his speech, the former President discussed the importance that biotechnology has in food security and health issues in the developing world. He said the first obligation of society is to feed people and that biotechnology can help individua... | Read more... 7 Tips for Teaching Children Science Author : Robert Burke Getting kids interested in science at an early age is very important. It's easier than you think. Science does not have to be something mysterious. It is happening all around us, and you can use everyday things to encourage your children's interest and knowledge. Most parents believe that they can't help their children with science. But you don't need a advanced scientific degree to teach young children science. All you need is a willingness t... | Read more... Quantum Gravity May Explain Dark Matter Author : J.D. Shelton In the quantum vacuum there are many transient acceleration vectors of mean magnitude a randomly oriented. If the vacuum is viewed from an accelerated frame, the vectors going with the frame appear diminished, and the vectors going against the frame appear enhanced, resulting in a net polarization of the vacuum. If the frame's acceleration g is small, the effect is linear, and if the vacuum is filled with vectors the coefficient of the polarizati... | Read more... << Start < Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next > End >>     [ Back ] Top AlphaContent 2.5.4 © 183 - visualclinic.fr
