AN INCREDIBLY SIMPLE WAY TO KILL A TREE Girdling is particularly a good way to end trees like Aspens because as we know from Pando, many other Aspens can sprout up from the roots and cause a bigger mess if just the top part of this tree is cut off. Girdling is a better way to kill a tree because it gives the environment time to adjust, also it is cheaper and prevents damage tothe
THE MARATHON MONKS OF JAPAN By Anupum Pant. I saw this on TV a couple years back. Just now when I was going through my archives, I came across the Tarahumara people article and I remembered having watched a documentary about the Marathon Monks of Japan.. Who are they? Just outside Kyoto there is a mountain that goes by the name, Mt. Hiei. NOT ALL LIVING THINGS DIE How it does it explained by this. Hydra is a simple organism, with almost all of its cell doing very basic functions. These keep dividing endlessly and before they get very old, these cells fall off and are replaced by new cells. In four years, the organism changes all its cells about 60 times! That’s 60 new Hydras in four years.

With over 3.5 Million Gurungs living in Nepal, the Gurung people are found all over the country and beyond. However, near the peaks of Himalayas, beyond which no human settlements are found, lives a secretive Gurung tribe called the honey hunters, in the secret villages that are THE ROLE OF WIND IN A TREE'S LIFE The presence of wind makes a tree stronger, it is thus able to mature and not fall down due to its own weight. When plants and trees grow in the wild, the wind constantly keeps them moving. This causes a stress in the wooden load bearing structure of the tree. So, to compensate, the tree manages to grow something called the reaction wood (or A MOUNTAIN ON EARTH TALLER THAN THE MT. EVEREST But the important thing to note is that a huge part of the volcano is under the sea level. In other words, its base is on the ocean bed, not on land. So, if measured from the base, it is 10,100 meters tall! That is more than 1.2 kilometres taller than the mount Everest. That means, if there were no sea, Mauna Kea would have been a clear winner.

The marathon is one of the most popular long-distance running events and is followed by people from around the world. An athlete, to even finish the ~42 km race, has to go through a training that lasts several months (or years).The training is designed to develop the slow twitch muscle fibers which enables athletes to run for a long distances without getting tired. YES, LIGHT CAN PUSH PHYSICAL OBJECTS When light is turned on, the fan moves in a way that makes it look as if light is pushing away the black colored side. The theory of photons pushing the black side was accepted initially. But soon a problem was seen with the theory. If light is absorbed at the blackened side and reflected at the silvered side, the fan should be moving in the PAPER BAGS ARE NOT BETTER THAN PLASTIC BAGS Reasons. Production: Production of paper bags all over the world involves cutting down 14 million trees every year. It is estimated that the production of paper bags creates 70 % more air pollution than plastic bag production. Production of paper bags also results in much more water getting polluted when compared to the production of plasticbags.
RIVERS THAT MEET BUT DO NOT MIX At the place where they meet, the rivers don’t mix. They leave a fairly clear boundary and flow side by side without mixing for about six kilometres.

THE ASTONISHINGLY FUNNY STORY OF MR. MCARTHUR WHEELER The Story of Mr. McArthur Wheeler. On one fine morning in Pittsburgh (PA), in the year 1995, a man aged 44, known by the name McArthur Wheeler decided to rob a bank. Since he thought he knew a lot about a peculiar chemical property of lemon juice, he decided to smear the juice on his face before executing his plan to rob the bank. MOUNTAIN DEW VS. COKE Apparently, Mountain Dew has a higher TA as compared to Coke which makes it more harmful for your teeth. This is why you see a drop of 14% mass (0.94 grams to 0.81 grams) in the teeth kept in Mountain Dew for ~three weeks, while only a 7% drop (from 0.86 grams to 0.80 grams) in the one kept in Coke for ~three weeks.

THE ROLE OF WIND IN A TREE'S LIFE The presence of wind makes a tree stronger, it is thus able to mature and not fall down due to its own weight. When plants and trees grow in the wild, the wind constantly keeps them moving. This causes a stress in the wooden load bearing structure of the tree. So, to compensate, the tree manages to grow something called the reaction wood (or HUMANS ARE TO BLAME FOR THESE ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTERS Humans Are to Blame for These Environmental Disasters.

FIRST MAN-MADE OBJECT IN SPACE By Anupum Pant.

Teachers would say Sputnik was the first ever man-made object to orbit earth, but there is a slight possibility that Sputnik might not have been A MOUNTAIN ON EARTH TALLER THAN THE MT. EVEREST But the important thing to note is that a huge part of the volcano is under the sea level. In other words, its base is on the ocean bed, not on land. So, if measured from the base, it is 10,100 meters tall! That is more than 1.2 kilometres taller than the mount Everest. That means, if there were no sea, Mauna Kea would have been a clear winner.

YAKHCHAL - ANCIENT COLD STORAGE FACILITY - AWESCI During a period when electricity was only a thing for the Gods, around 400 B.C.E., in the hot-arid deserts of Iran where temperatures touched 40 degree centigrade, ancient engineers had found a way to keep their ice from melting. Two thousand years back, a cold storage facility was being used. The impressive thing about it – it was clean and HUMANS ARE TO BLAME FOR THESE ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTERS Humans Are to Blame for These Environmental Disasters. Humans have changed the environment drastically, especially in the last century. As our population has grown, so has our effect on our natural world. Much of that impact has, unfortunately, been negative. Since our population has begun booming, we’ve made gradual changes to the THE ROLE OF WIND IN A TREE'S LIFE The presence of wind makes a tree stronger, it is thus able to mature and not fall down due to its own weight. When plants and trees grow in the wild, the wind constantly keeps them moving. This causes a stress in the wooden load bearing structure of the tree. So, to compensate, the tree manages to grow something called the reaction wood (or RIVERS THAT MEET BUT DO NOT MIX At the place where they meet, the rivers don’t mix. They leave a fairly clear boundary and flow side by side without mixing for about six kilometres. That happens because of the big difference in their flow speed, density and temperature. While the river Solimões is a fast flowing (6 km per hour), high density (due to the sediments) and THE HALLUCINOGENIC HONEY FROM THE HIMALAYAN BEES The honey made by these bees is a product that comes from the nectar of kinds of poisonous flowers.

THE ASTONISHINGLY FUNNY STORY OF MR. MCARTHUR WHEELER By Anupum Pant. In a wonderful paper titled “Unskilled and Unaware of it“, two social psychologists from Cornell University, Justin Kruger and David Dunning share an incredibly funny story of Mr. McArthur Wheeler.Although it is funny, the story actually beautifully demonstrates an excellent concept – a kind of cognitive bias (discussed later in the post). PAPER BAGS ARE NOT BETTER THAN PLASTIC BAGS Reasons. Production: Production of paper bags all over the world involves cutting down 14 million trees every year. It is estimated that the production of paper bags creates 70 % more air pollution than plastic bag production. Production of paper bags also results in much more water getting polluted when compared to the production of plasticbags.
CHILD BIRTH OR GETTING KICKED IN THE BALLS By Anupum Pant. The internet is full of media saying that pain can be measured in units called “del”. According to them 45 del is the limit of pain a human can endure and yet, they go on to say that child birth is associated with 57 del of pain (apparently it is equivalent to 20 bones getting fractured at a time) and getting kicked in the nuts is 9000 del of pain.Skip to content

JOIN AWESCI ON FACEBOOK > Join AweSci on Facebook WHAT IS THE SCIENCE OF SUSTAINABILITY? BY MEGAN RAY NICHOLS Sustainability is a word that appears in conversation often these days, especially with the United Nations giving us a looming 2030deadline
to start reducing our carbon emissions. Everyone is talking about sustainability and why it’s so important, but if you ask people why, they won’t have an answer for you. What is the science behind it, and what can we do to live a more sustainable life? SUSTAINABILITY DEFINED First, what is sustainability? We talk about living a more sustainable life all the time, but it’s helpful to be able to put a definitionbehind the word.
At its most basic, sustainability is “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs,” according to UCLA. This
definition might work well in casual conversation, but there’s so much more to it than just meeting our needs while preserving natural resources for posterity. Sustainability and sustainable development encompass everything from food production to the health of the ozone. It also includes climate change and its impacts both today and into the future. As much as we dream of going to the stars, we are not a space-faring species yet. That means this little blue marble is the only home our generation and those yet to come will have — and we need to take care of it.

The video surveillance industry continues to develop and prosper as awareness for safety grows among citizens concerned for the security of their homes. According to a poll conducted in 2018 by SDM,
in which both integrators and dealers were asked about their state of confidence with the current surveillance market, 75% said they believed the market’s state to be excellent. As video surveillance continues to grow in prominence and ubiquity, with more homeowners looking to secure their households, the more technical aspects of home surveillance should be made transparent and readily available. Placement technique and varying types of surveillance systems are being continually innovated and specializedtowards
fostering intuitive home security setups. Here’s an overview of the current standards for installing CCTV systems and their variantiterations.
CONVENTIONAL SURVEILLANCE SETUP A conventional surveillance setup is comprised of either mountable or stand-alone cameras, positioned independently in various areas which work in conjunction with each other to capture consistent video. The collective of cameras send footage to a monitor system; the signal being broadcast from the cameras to the monitors is closed circuit. Viewing of the camera’s feed is strictly observable from connected equipment. The majority of modern surveillance cameras capture high resolution video and are best situated in corner areas of an indoor space, since they are typically capable of wide range viewing. The system itself is conventionally connected by coaxial cables. Inconspicuous and out of reach, wired systems are still commonly usedby
homeowners to deter potential burglary and more generally maintain consistent observance of their property. WIRELESS CONFIGURATION As a means of eliminating the need for cumbersome wire installation, newer surveillance systems are entirely wireless. Composed of a camera, transmitter, receiver, visual monitor, and a supplemental data storage system, wireless setups allow for broader range in regards to placement and proximity from the central monitoring unit. Footage is captured and streamed from a radio transmitter to an antenna; the receivers can either be based within the camera and monitor or separate from one another. Being wireless, these units are able to bedisguised
as
everyday items, or can be totally mobilized and mounted onto a tripod or other peripheral. FLEXIBILITY OF LOCATION FOR SURVEILLANCE Areas of the home that experience the most break-ins are the front door, backyard, and the ground floor parallel to the house. What should be considered when plotting effective surveillance locations is the camera’s proximity to a power supply and proximity to the home’s router – if wireless. Integration of IoT principles makes it possible to use a smart device for wireless monitoring of the surveillance feed. Some cameras are designed for communication with other smart and IoT outfitted devices.
Homeowners are granted the flexibility to place camera’s base on their own concerns for which area of the home is considered a securityrisk.
Freedom for homeowner’s and how they arm their home is the priority for surveillance companies. As the industry continues to develop along with smart technology’s integration to domestic life, surveillance systems will persist in popularity and normalcy.SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE

If you attach paper to cardboard, you can grab a bottle of glue. If you stick plastics together, epoxy is your go-to adhesive. If you try to attach two different pieces of metal, glue won’t cut it. That’s where welding comes in. Let’s take a look at the science of welding, as well as the different types of welding and how they work. THE SCIENCE OF WELDING The science of welding depends on the type of metals you want to join, as well as the kind of filler material you use to attach the pieces. The most common type of weldingis known as arc
welding, which gets its name from using an electrical arc to melt both the metals and the filler to create a solid connection or jointbetween the two.
Start by attaching a grounding wire to the welding material. Then an electrode gets attached to the piece you weld and an electrical arc is generated between the two points, creating a high-temperature area that melts the metal and the filler, creating a uniform joint. Welding is tricky because you need to continuously feed the filler into the welding joint at an even rate to create a uniform weld. Now that you understand the basics of welding, let’s take a closer look at the different types of welding, including the common less common options. There are 30 different types of welding, ranging fromsimple to complex.
MIG – GAS METAL ARC WELDING MIG welding is a type of arc welding that uses a shielding gas to reduce the combustibility of the materials. This type of welding reduces waste because it uses a high-efficiency electrode that creates cleaner welds. MIG welds are usually found in the automotive, industrial, robotics and maritime industry. TIG – GAS TUNGSTEN ARC WELDING TIG welding, also known as heliarc welding, uses a tungsten electrode that can be used with or without a filler rod to melt two metal pieces together. Like MIG welding, this style also uses an external gas supply — most commonly a mixture of helium and argon. You’ll usually find TIG welding in the aerospace industry, water pipe joints and motorcycle manufacturing. Continue reading The Science Behind WeldingSHARE THE KNOWLEDGE
