Paper 1 Proposal
Research Question:
What actions can be taken in the face of climate change to best prevent the extinction of different species and populations?
Justification:
There are all kinds of different types of species of life on Earth that are very crucial to the well-being of our planet. Many habitats that these species live in and created are being destroyed due to the pollution us humans have created (Population matters, 2023). We have created this pollution by using a lot of the energy, land, and food/water we have taken from these habitats. This pollution then leads to global warming/ rises in global temperatures. These warmer temperatures are very dangerous to these distinct types of species, leading to extinction. In one of sources, I read it said, “The rate of biodiversity loss today is up to ten thousand times quicker than it was one hundred years ago” (Population matters, 2023). This biodiversity loss is being brought on by climate change, which us humans are creating (Penn, J. L., & Deutsch, C. (2022). Climate change is being fueled by greenhouse gases and emissions. Climate emissions also increase along with population growth, causing a loss of species and habitats (ICUN).
Format:
My paper will be set up in a research format with multiple headers telling the reader what each section will be about. Some titles of my sections will be:
Gas/Carbon Emissions
Human Life
Population
Animal Habitat/Life
Biodiversity
Extinction
I want to format my paper so that each section smoothly transitions into the next. I want to make each section relate to the following section.
Sources: I know I need different academic and scholarly articles along with government/media reports. I am having no trouble finding articles online and no trouble finding reliable sources. However, I am struggling to find the other sources I need. I believe my problem is that I do not exactly know
where to look. Bibliography:

The construction of PV solar cells uses a number of critical elements. One is indium
an ingredient of the transparent conducting coating on the surface of the cell. The
average material intensity for indium in solar cells is approximately 0.05 kg/kWnom.
Calculate the quantity of indium that would be required for a project that would
provide PV solar power with capacity factor of 0.25, sufficient to meet one third of
the present needs of the US, population 301 million, each using an average of 10.2
kW.
The current world production of Indium is 600 tones per year. If the solar project
were to be implemented over a 5 year time span, is it true that the supply of indium
be adequate?

25 A of current when all the

Vrms
120 V with a Irms
15 A circuit breaker; this will
likely be set up on a Vrms
circuit breaker.) Because of this large current, safety stan- -
dards require using a relatively thick gauge of copper wire
for the household wiring between the stove and the circuit
breaker. This wire typically has radius r =
sistivity p =
240 V circuit with a Ipms = 30 A
2.1 mm and re- –
1.68 x 10-8 N · m. If the voltage drop in the
household wiring between the circuit breaker and the stove is
0.27 V, then what is the length of this wiring? Include two
diagrams in your representation: (1) a circuit diagram show-
ing the power source (take this to be the circuit breaker), the
household wiring, and the stove, and (2) a cross-sectional di-
agram of the household wiring.

the ambient air temperature is 70 °F and the convection heat transfer coefficient on the exposed

b) Determine the rate of heat loss from the collector by radiation. Assume the effective sky
temperature for radiation exchange is 50 °F and the emissivity of the exposed surface of the

Electrical transmission towers are stationed at 350 m intervals and a conducting cable 2cm in diameter is strung between them. How many wires should each tower carry toensure structural integrity during a tropical storm? The towers are designed to withstandup to 180 kN of transverse force and during a cyclone, wind can blow up to 200 km/h.Assume there is no interference between the wires and take air density as 1.2 kg/m3and
viscosity as 1.7×10-5 Nsm-2
. If the smooth insulation on the wires is mechanicallyroughened up before application what effect it will have on the design? Also, establishwhether the wires are likely to be subjected to self-induced vibrations and if so what the
frequency would be. The frequency of such forced vibration, sometimes called self-induced vibration, may be calculated from an empirical formula due to Vincent Strouhal:
fd⁄Uo = 0.198(1 − 19.7⁄Re) 250 < Re < 105

3. A catheter-sensor system for invasive pressure measurements has a catheter with a length of 1 m
and a diameter of 2.5 mm. The catheter is filled with water at 20 °C, with viscosity n = 0.001 Pa.s
and density p = 10° kg/m². The diaphragm elasticity Ed equals 0.5x105 N/m³.
a. Draw the simplified electrical model of the pressure measurement set-up that includes the
catheter and the diaphragm and determine the transfer function of the pressure
measurement system.
b. Compute the natural frequency and damping ratio of this system.
c. The current system has a damping ratio that is far from optimal. Suppose you are pinching
the catheter for a small length Ix so that the catheter diameter reduces to 0.2mm.
Assuming the pinch to affect the resistance only, determine the length Ix such that an
optimal damping ratio 5 = 0.7 is obtained.
