Axonal Transport and ALS Neurofilaments and other cytoskeletal polymers are transported down the axon at a rate of 0.2–8 mm day−1, in a process known as ‘slow’ axonal transport. This transport is orders of magnitude slower than the transport of vesicular cargos in ‘fast’ axonal transport, at rates of ∼200–400Read More →
The equipartition theorem, also known as the law of equipartition, equipartition of energy or simply equipartition, states that every degree of freedom that appears only quadratically in the total energy has an average energy of ½kBT in thermal equilibrium and contributes ½kB to the system’s heat capacity. What does equipartitionRead More →
With a fixed-rate energy plan, the price you pay per kilowatt-hour (kWh) stays the same throughout your contract. So even if market prices change, your energy rate won’t be affected. A set price makes it easier for you to plan for how much you’ll be spending on energy each month.Read More →
Electricity can be transported through wires to places where it is needed and then converted into other forms. In a flashlight, the electrical energy becomes light energy and thermal energy in the bulb. 6 Light energy is transported by wave motion. How is energy transformed into electrical energy? Hydroelectric powerRead More →
Details of the Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit (Extended through December 31, 2021) You can claim a tax credit for 10% of the cost of qualified energy efficiency improvements and 100% of residential energy property costs. This credit is worth a maximum of $500 for all years combined, from 2006 toRead More →
The energy industry is considered as highly capital intensive along with the huge impact on employment. … Hence, the renewable energy field promises a lot in terms of sustainability and jobs prospects. The energy sector provides excellent career opportunities for smart and innovative minds. Is renewable energy the best? TheRead More →
In the first forecast, 55 percent of U.S. energy infrastructure would come from renewables. … “It is technically and economically feasible to deliver 90 percent carbon-free electricity on the U.S. power grid by 2035.” To reach the more ambitious but still achievable 90 percent goal by 2035, the devil isRead More →
The efficiency of that light bulb is 12.75 lumens per watt. A 40W-equivalent GE spiral CFL light bulb uses 10 watts of electricity to put out 580 lumens, so the energy efficiency of that light bulb is 58 lumens per watt. Which light bulb is the most energy efficient? IncandescentRead More →
Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert chemical energy from oxygen molecules or nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. What does cellular respiration release? Cellular respiration releases stored energy in glucose molecules andRead More →
Thermochemical heat storage (TCS) is based on storing chemical energy making use of reversible chemical reactions (eq 4). In the simplest case, a reactant A is transformed in the products B and C in an endothermic reaction during the charging step. What is the best material for storing heat? VariousRead More →
