Unlike animals, plants lack a metabolically active pump like the heart to move fluid in their vascular system. Instead, water movement is passively driven by pressure and chemical potential gradients.
Hurricanes and floods are very hazardous public health impacts on grain and vegetable crops, as well as food manufacturing facilities, food warehouses, and food transporters. Specifically, crops may be affected in a variety of ways. They may be submerged in flood water, exposed to contaminants, or susceptible to mold.
I love football (soccer). Whether you call it football or soccer, the thrills and the excitement of this beautiful and mesmerizing game unite fans all around the world. Advancements in technology are made each day and it's no secret that these have been applied to various sports,
Flooding is impossible to avoid completely. And as extreme flood events continue to increase in number and frequency, more communities are becoming vulnerable. One of the severe flooding is flash floods. Flash floods tend to be associated with many types of storms,
This project is about building a manual portable step on shower that has high water drop pressure without using any device. This is done by using the weight of the person taking the bath as source of pressure generator for the water being used for the bath.
Do you know that people in many parts of the world travel many kilometers carrying a water jerry can every day? If you are not aware, well you are about to.
In an area where there is lack of water supply at home,
Theoretical physics
Before reading the theory know that I am basing it on three facts and assumptions listed below.
In space where there is microgravity, heavy objects move around easily. For example, astronauts can move equipment weighing hundreds of pounds with their fingertips.
Wildfires are very challenging for climate change and natural ecosystem. Many factors affect how a wildfire burns and how difficult it may be to control. The three sides of the fire behavior triangle are weather, topography and fuels. To put out a fire, heat,
The main societies that are affected the most from water shortage are the rural areas. Supplying water to rural areas especially for developing countries is a very challenging task because the limitation is the cost affordability for construction, repair and running expenses.
The Idea proposed is to construct a Floating Runway in a circular lake.
By having the runway floating, it can be turned in such a way that it is possible to create optimum landing and take off conditions under various types of weather.
