Alkalinity

status by drinking alkaline mineralized water, which has been claimed to positively effect blood and urine? The popularity of water bottles like Core and Essentia has been on the rise. These options are thought to be “healthier” because of their high alkalinity, which is a pH above 7, and mineral content which includes calcium, bicarbonate, magnesium, and potassium. This type of water is specifically targeted to athletes and workout gurus who want to improve performance through improving their hydration

This technique is usually done after the earthquake or any disaster has affect the building so to strengthening the structure this technique is fallowed. In this techniques commonly steel and cement are used. Conventional cast-in-situ concrete The conventional cast in-suit concrete is done usually repair and strengthing works in the cases where due to the change in volume or shrinkage of the convection cement based concrete, causing unsatisfactory results. The change in volume results in loss

Aquaponics is a sustainable food production system that integrates recirculation aquaculture with hydroponics in a symbiotic environment. Hydroponics is a type of hydro-culture that involves the cultivation of plants in a soil-less medium. In hydroponics, synthetic mineral solution is added as a source of nutrient to support plant growth and development. Occasionally, an inert medium of gravel, sand, coconut fibre or rice hull is utilized at root sites for plant support and establishment (Diver

Environment and Heritage, 2014). Water quality is measured using different tests to investigate the pH, temperature, salinity, suspended solids, light penetration, nitrates and phosphates. pH The pH of water is a measure of its degree of acidity or alkalinity (Biology Textbook). Its scale has a minimum of 0 and maximum of 14. The higher the number the more basic it is, the lower the number, the more acidic it is. A pH of 7 is considered to be neutral. The pH of water determines the biological availability

Introduction When it comes to the topic of technology advancement, some people will readily agree that it is bad for humankind. Where this argument usually ends, however, is on the question of if it really is benefitting the human race and the planet. On one hand, about 54% of American adults say that technology has had mostly positive effects on them (Paul). On the other hand, about 8% of American adults say that technology has had mostly negative effects on them (Paul). The other 38% say that

Flint City Water Crisis As Doidge et al. illustrate, the historical background of Flint City’s drinking water supply emanated from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department. This was through a contractual basis for over three decades, and its main source of water was Lake Huron. The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department is an extensive system encompassing almost 1,080 square-miles, and provides to more than two fifths of the Michigan State population. In the year 2000 alone, the system covered 11

Lab Report 2 Observations of Chemical Changes Objectives: (1 of 20 points) The objectives of this experiment are: 1. To observe some properties of chemical reactions 2. To associate chemical properties with household products Background Information: (2 of 20 points) Chemical changes are often accompanied by physical changes. Three that you should not see in this lab are changes in temperature, presence of a flame, and evolution of light, as when as firefly glows. Three physical changes that

1. A propagation plan is a record of plants propagated listing the type of plant, method of propagation, pre-treatments, date of sow, germination, pricked out, type of pot and dispatch date. 2. A propagation plan is important in a commercial nursery because its useful to show how long it takes for a seed or cutting to be in a sellable condition, were improvements can be made next time, if the type of plant goes dormant and when it flowers. 3. Chrysanthemums are often grown for mother’s day, they

Cancer, can be caused by anything. My high school Biology teacher once told me that, cancer cells, are cells gone wild. What does that mean? Means the cells in your body begins to replicate un-normally. To have a better understanding, according to, Cancercenter.com ‘What is cancer? States that , ‘Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. Cancer develops when the body’s normal control mechanism stops working. Old cells do not die and cells grow out of control, forming new, abnormal

On Friday, April 25, 2014, I attended the event Global Climate Change Symposium organized by the West Valley College Global Citizen and Suitability Committees from 1:00 to 2:30 PM. In this event, the speaker was Dr. Daphane Miller, MD., family physician, writer, and Associate Professor in the department of Family Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Daphane Miller is also a family physician. One thing that I believe that is striking to know first is that she is a doctor, a
