2. Precipitation Measurement and Study with Rain Gage Sales November 07, 2008 Somehow, there is never just the right amount of rain. Sometimes there is just too much. This can cause flooding, soil erosion, crop damage, and property damage. Often, there is simply not enough rain. This can cause minor problems, such as home lawns that are not green. More significant problems include crop loss due to draught and industrial shortfalls. Severe water shortage can result in loss of livestock. And in many areas of the world, the human population can suffer from lack of potable water. The academic scientific community has great interest in recording precipitation over short...

5. Processes Involved In Blavatsky's Writings and its effects September 09, 2008 Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (HPB) demonstrated the Siddhis (psychic-spiritual faculties) of clairvoyance, clairaudience, and the powers of projection, precipitation and being en rapport. These were all used in her writings on Occult science and Meta Physics which may be categorized into seven kinds of processes. We outline them below but it is emphasized that none of the above processes are miracles or supernatural. All fall within natural law, once the operator has developed the faculties to use them. It is obvious that HPB’s writings as just enumerated are proof of this; her literary works wit... (read more) Author: Edi Bilimoria

6. Exploring Borneo Tropical Rainforest. September 08, 2008 Tropical Rainforest is earth's most complex biome in terms of both structure and species diversity. It occurs under optimal growing conditions: abundant precipitation and year round warmth. There is no annual rhythm to the forest; rather each species has evolved its own flowering and fruiting seasons. Sunlight is a major limiting factor. A variety of strategies have been successful in the struggle to reach light or to adapt to the low intensity of light beneath the canopy. Tropical Rainforest has always been one of the most mysterious and adventurous place to visit. Throughout the whole w... (read more) Author: Jayden Yap

7. Apartments in Salt Lake City: Three Things to Know Before You Move July 03, 2008 Utah is Dry...In More Ways Than One Utah is a classified desert, and I'm not referring just to the precipitation amounts. Because of a predominantly LDS (Mormon) population which doesn't drink alcohol, many apartments have strict rules against not just the consumption of it, but even the storage of it on the premises. This holds true especially in college towns like Provo and Logan. Not to say that all complexes forbid you to have a single drop of liquor in your kitchen, but because these rules appeal to the LDS population, many managers enforce these rules to help fill units.

9. The Benefits of Travertine Floor Tiles June 23, 2008 Travertine, a sedimentary rock, evolves from precipitation of carbonate minerals. When water rich in carbon dioxide permeates through limestone formations, the limestone is dissolved and becomes saturated. Where this occurs around a change in temperature the carbon dioxide is released as a gas. Re-crystallisation then occurs along with other debris such as algae and moss. The rock is often full of cavities and remains quite porous. Extremely porous travertine is known as “Calcareous Tuff”. Purest travertine is white but most is yellowy brown due to impurities other than carbonate minerals. ... (read more) Author: Chris Tyrrell

10. Save Water Landscape with a Rain Garden May 12, 2008 The indigenous soil and forests of many regions accumulate, sieve, and gradually release fresh, clean water to streams, wetlands, and estuaries. The varieties of life in marine and fresh water, as well as on land, require clean water to thrive. As cities grow, they encroach upon and change natural settings; wild areas are replaced with infrastructure and other hard surfaces. During periods of precipitation, more water flows from these man-made surfaces than natural areas, carrying oil, fertilizers, pesticides, sediment and other pollutants downstream. In fact, much of the pollution in str... (read more) Author: Marie Wakefield

12. 21st century water management: Calculating with the unknown March 07, 2008 Climate change is making a central assumption of water management obsolete: Water-resource risk assessment and planning are currently based on the notion that factors such as precipitation and streamflow fluctuate within an unchanging envelope of variability. But anthropogenic change of Earth's climate is altering the means and extremes of these factors so that this paradigm of stationarity no longer applies, researchers report in the latest issue of "Science". The headline of the article by Christopher Milly, US Geological Survey (USGS), and others reads "Stationarity is dead: Whither Water M... (read more) Author: Velimir Lackovic

13. Limescale, a sign of wasted money February 28, 2008 Limescale is an effect of hard water issues, which are problems with water having high levels of dissolved minerals. Particular one is calcium. Calcium cations are normal and natural elemnts of water chemistry. But when the temperature increases the soluble solids precipitation and becoming insoluble. That is how the scale forms. Generally the limescale is a sort of chalky deposit that you can find in kettles, boilers and any other heating systems. The money problem related with hard water problems is like chain reaction. First sign of it can be fact, that your bills for heat... (read more) Author: Michal Costaminnego

16. Exploring the Mountain Property of the Pacific Northwest, aka "God's Country" October 30, 2007 There’s a common misconception that rain is a constant presence in the Pacific Northwest. In truth, the precipitation sticks mostly to the spring and fall. Even then, it doesn’t rain nearly as much as it mists, creating a fine, thin layer of water that covers the outdoors and provides the smell of fresh morning dew all day long. It hovers in the mountain air like a cool steam. Folks who have never seen the region for themselves often carry many preconceived notions about it. There are those who believe that mountains are always — or at least always should be — jagged and rocky. For them, ... (read more) Author: John Neuberger

Warming is expected to affect the number and magnitude of these events; however, it is difficult to connect pa... (read more) Author: Seoplayer Clean

19. Theoretical concept of Hail November 16, 2006 Introduction: Precipitation is one form of hail. Hail in other sense means falling of balls or irregular lumps of ice (hailstones), 5 mm–50 mm in diameter on average, with much larger reported from severe thunderstorms[1]. Thunderstorms always produced by cumulonimbus. small hailstones are >5 mm in diameter. They are layered and can be irregular and clumped together. Hail formation: Hail forms when there is condensation nuclei such as dust, bugs, or ice crystals, when supercooled water freezes on contact. When clouds contain large numbers of supercooled water droplets, these ice nuclei... (read more) Author: pdc org

25. Electronic Air Cleaners March 01, 2006 Electronic air cleaners are another form of air filters. These filters use electrostatic precipitation, static charge, or particle ionization to remove particles that have been sapped in by a fan through a foam pre-filter. What happens at this point is that larger particles are caught and charged by a high-voltage wire, which is then captured in the precipitating cell. From here, a carbon filter removes the odors and a post filter removes other remaining particles. Pre-filters used in this form can remove mold, tobacco smoke, bacteria and a large percentage of household dustThere are also othe... (read more) Author: Eric Morris
