The meaning of blood pressure

sciencewithevie

The meaning of blood pressure SUMMARY: This article talks about all the physical aspects of blood pressure. The first few sections talks about the 3 forces that affect blood pressure: elastic, kinetic, and gravitational. The author also talks about how kinetic energy can be converted to elastic energy in the case of an aneurysm in… Continue reading The meaning of blood pressure

Electronic Tongues

sciencewithevie

A Versatile Electronic Tongue Based on Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging and Cross-Reactive Sensor Arrays-A Mini-Review SUMMARY: Scientists are trying to create electronic tongues (eT) and noses (eN) that act similar to human tongues and noses. These artificial sensors are different from traditional sensors in that they don’t recognize individual molecules, instead, they recognize heterogeneous liquids… Continue reading Electronic Tongues

Biomass from microalgae

sciencewithevie

Biomass from microalgae: the potential of domestication towards sustainable biofactories SUMMARY: Microalgae could potentially be a renewable source of energy for people. Unfortunately, there are many issues right now with growing enough algae and keeping the process affordable (aka: it’s too expensive to grow and use algae commercially). The article is divided up into several… Continue reading Biomass from microalgae

Hair coat properties of donkeys, mules and horses in a temperate climate

sciencewithevie

Hair coat properties of donkeys, mules and horses in a temperate climate SUMMARY: Donkeys and horses evolved to live in different climates. Donkeys are more adapted to the dry, hot areas while horses are able to live in colder climates. Researchers looked at the difference in seasonal hair growth of donkeys, horses, and mules to… Continue reading Hair coat properties of donkeys, mules and horses in a temperate climate

Microgravity and the Respiratory System

sciencewithevie

Microgravity and the Respiratory System SUMMARY: What are the effects of gravity on lung function? This study first breaks down how gravity works and its effects on living organisms. The second section explains lung function with and without gravity. Finally, the last sections look at the difference in lung function during and after short and… Continue reading Microgravity and the Respiratory System

Pu burning in a molten salt fast reactor

sciencewithevie

A disruptive approach to eliminating weapon-grade plutonium – Pu burning in a molten salt fast reactor SUMMARY: This study looked at the efficiency of several types of nuclear reactions: molten-salt reactors, light water reactors, and fast reactors. Using a program (written in Python), scientists looked at the data from each type of reactors (on an… Continue reading Pu burning in a molten salt fast reactor
