What is the process of nitrification? Nitrification is a microbial process by which reduced nitrogen compounds (primarily ammonia) are sequentially oxidized to nitrite and nitrate. Ammonia is present in drinking water through either naturally-occurring processes or through ammonia addition during secondary disinfection to form chloramines. What are the steps of nitrification? In general, the nitrogen […]

What are the characteristics of a warm front? Warm fronts are typically characterized by a transition from southeasterly to southwesterly winds. Unlike cold fronts, winds along the front itself are generally light and variable. Warm fronts, as their name implies, are also characterized by a rise in temperature, but also humidity. When a weather front […]

What are the first signs of heat stress? WHAT TO LOOK FOR Heavy sweating. Cold, pale, and clammy skin. Fast, weak pulse. Nausea or vomiting. Muscle cramps. Tiredness or weakness. Dizziness. Headache. What is the difference between heat stress and heat stroke? Both heat exhaustion and heat stroke are serious conditions. Heat exhaustion begins with […]

Do you weigh more on a full moon? You would register a slightly higher weight during the full moon, than during the new moon. The force due to gravity of the earth and the moon is the same in either case. No, because the moon is still there, the only difference is the angle to […]

Why are fossils so important? Fossils of any kind are useful in “reading the rock record,” meaning they help us decipher the history of the earth. They can help us determine the geologic age and environment (the paleoenvironment) in which they were deposited. What are the five types of fossils? Five different types of fossils […]

How does shape affect diffusion? Diffusion is like going through a net or sieve. Smaller sizes and shapes pass through more easily than large ones. What is the relationship between cell size and diffusion? The surface-to-volume ratio of a sphere is 3/r; as the cell gets bigger, its surface-to-volume ratio decreases, making diffusion less efficient. […]

What is field name? Field names are the names you give to the columns in a table. Field names in the same table must be unique; for instance, you can’t have two columns with the name ObjectID. Field names must also start with a letter and cannot contain spaces or reserved words. What is field […]

What is duct silencer? An HVAC duct silencer is specifically engineered to reduce airborne noise carried along ducts or produced by enclosures. You’ll also find these silencers described as sound attenuators when they are used in industrial settings. Why is my HVAC return so loud? If the usual noise volume increases, or you start to […]
