How green are green skyscrapers? Are they the building of the future? Green skyscrapers are considered green due to their nature through which they meet sustainability. Taking the case of the Shanghai Tower in China, the building holds more than 43 types of sustainable technologies (Roxburgh, 2020). Essential sustainability is the renewable sources of energy, a well-established landscaping as well as a unique structured building meant to reduce wind resistance against the building. The critical issue of discussion is the tower’s landscaping, which helps to offer a cooling effect on the environment within the building. The skyscraper can, therefore, be considered environmentally friendly. The approach to maintain human-friendly surrounding of these towers makes them be considered green. The fact that they promote a healthy ecosystem proves them to be essential for human life. The advantage of the skyscraper outweighs the disadvantages. For instance, they have many environmental benefits per capita, which include the use of less energy as well as water and generation of less waste and hence reduced pollution of the ecosystem. The skyscrapers are the future buildings since…
Hospital Merger Hope Medical Centre, which was a private entity, served the residents as a non-profit organization for more than 80 years. The hospital was considered exceptional because of its ability to serve people well and the family-like atmosphere that was present in the hospital. Hope had a culture where all the doctors, nurses and staff members knew each other by the first name. The staff members would interact with each other openly, especially at the cafeteria. The hospital mainly depended on the fundraising campaign as its primary source of capital to run its day to day operations. Hope Medical Centre had an initiative known as the Beacon of Hope, whose mission was to inspire the members of the Hope community to achieve what was termed as exceptional caregivers. The American Medical Association named Hope as the nation’s most compassionate hospital, and this is what leads to the emergence of Beacon. All physicians, nurses, staff members and volunteers were required to utilize Beacon as their code of conduct. The beacon mission statement was prevalent on all the hospitals’ promotional…
How Gutters Should Connect to Drains The primary purpose of gutters is to direct rainwater from the roof and away from buildings. This prevents soil erosion around your home that can damage the foundation and damage your basement. Water collected by rain gutters is then directed into the drainage system by downpipes or rainspouts. Downpipes extend vertically from the roof to the ground. Most buildings feature such pipes on the corner, where they are less likely to sustain any damage or interference. The main ways downpipes connect to drains and discharge water are: Connecting downpipes directly to drains where they discharge into soak away pits Connecting downpipes directly to drains where they discharge into surface sewer lines Connecting downpipes indirectly to drains with gully trappers where they discharge into a combined sewer Ideal Materials for Downpipes before the 70s, downpipes were made of cast iron, but this proved to be costly as such a material is prone to rust. Nowadays, downpipes are made of PVC and other insulated plastics. Such plastics are easier to maintain, less prone to corrosion and…

Lab report :The Effect of Male Fertility on the Amount of Eggs produced in Female Bean Beetles. Abstract The main goal of this investigation was to find out whether mating of a virgin male to a virgin female produces more eggs than virgin females who copulated with non-virgin males. This study hypothesizes that beetles who are virgin copulating with other female virgins makes produces more eggs than female beetles who have to copulate with non-virgin males. Males who are non-virgin are assumed to cause less egg production by virgin female beetles. The study predicts that if we mating of both male and female virgin beetles will lay more eggs than the copulation of males who are non-virgin with females never copulated before. The research involves groups of virgin female and male beetles or non-virgin males and virgin females and documented the amount of eggs per bean (n= 20 females per treatment). The outcome variable in this study was the volume of eggs produced by virgin females. In contrast, the predictor variable was the virginity status of a male beetle (virgin…
Light Spectrum and Plant Growth It is imperative to note that plants require light as an essential ingredient in the manufacturing of their food, and course growth and development. Moreover, botanists have established that the rate at which the chloroplasts absorb different wavelengths of light vary depending on the significance of the wavelength in the photosynthesis. In this regard, and view of the experiment, it is worth noting that the red light is the best light that stimulates plant growth. When a relative quantum efficiency curve on the rate of growth of plants under different light colors is drawn, then the red color will have the highest average. This reasoning is also supported by the experiment in which different plants are allowed to grow in restricted light wavelengths. The plants that are put in the red light will have extended growth leading to relatively taller plants as compared to those produced in other color bands. Again from the experiment, it is imperative to note that when plants are subjected to different unitary wavelengths, then the plants growing under green light…
Miami Dade transportation planning organization Introduction Over the last few years, traffic congestion in Miami has proved to be a real nightmare not just in the US but compared to other cities globally. A recent research on traffic congestion on roads has placed Miami in the frontline of cities with the real scary traffic congestion. Annually, Miami constitutes the average 52 hours wasted on traffic roads in South Florida. In the US, the city is ranked 6th after traffic ghosts and goblins in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, San Jose and Seattle respectively (Anderson, 2014). According to the global traffic scorecard, Miami is ranked the tenth most traffic congested city in the world after Los Angeles, Moscow, Sao Paulo, and London among other traffic nightmarish cities in the world. Nevertheless, the Florida traffic congestion is said to be attributed to an increased number of vehicles, poorly developed roads and improper constructions plans in the southern cities among other reasons (Pang, 2018). Significantly, programs have been proposed for enactment to fight traffic woes in Miami with Miami-Dade Transportation Planning…
Cap and trade Introduction Cap and trade, also known as carbon trading is a market based approach which is used to control pollutions resulting from carbon emissions. This approach is usually mandated by the government and thus it involves the government giving out economic incentives for to industries which would encourage them to adopt necessary measures to dealing with carbon emissions. It is an environmentally policy tool which reduces carbon pollutant by generally placing a limit or cap on the total amount of pollutants that can be released by sources which are covered by programs and it mandates the government to give allowances to industries. It mostly works in the United States of America and was designed by president Barrack Obama as a way of reducing the overall effect of greenhouse gases. The world trade on the other hand means the exchanges related to the same. After the cap has been determined by the government, allowances are given to those companies which complied with this tool and since the cap shrinks every year, some companies can sell the unused allowances…
A Summary of California’s climate policies The office of the Legislative Analyst Office is required to report annually the impacts and the benefits of California’s enacted greenhouse gas emission goals. This has to cover the changes in emission between 1990 levels to 2020 and also 1990 levels to 2030. In the report, they discussed the effects assessments, the significant policies set in the transport sector to meet the goals of zero-emission, and also substantial issues regarding the legislature in terms of policymaking and budget decisions. The state has many policies that reduce emissions through transportation, which is the largest source of the state’s emission. Light-duty cars have the most massive emission record. It is also noted that emissions had declined between 2006 to 2016 but increased in the last four years. Some of the significant policies that the state has put in place are reducing emissions from light-duty vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles, raising the use of low carbon fuels, and reducing the mileage of the cars. There are also challenges that accompany the policies. They include the lack of…
China’s Financial Position IN Three Years Time over the last decade China’s Economy has increased tremendously but this is under threat since they have been facing several stumbling blocks over the past for years. Some of the stumbling blocks include trade war between itself and the USA, policies, local government debt and recently the outbreak of corona virus. China’s Economy is largely build on technology and industrial strength. China together with the USA is considered to be among the leading countries that release large amount of carbon (IV) oxide into the atmosphere due to their intensive industrial networks. China collects a large percentage of its revenue from exports. During the 2000s China only exported a meager 12% of its products to the USA but as of 2010 her exports had risen to 40%. Trade war and International relation USA-China relations have hit rock bottom but there is still hope that these two countries would reach an agreement. So far the Trumps administration has hit tariffs on Chinese goods imports worth $250 billion and China also did retaliate by levying tariffs…
