Transport

1. Transport?

All through the United States, public transportation had been under-utilized. Everybody wanted their autonomy, and it was a small expense to do so. As a result, many of the established public transit programs have not grown to their potential. Now that the oil crisis is deepening, those people who were happily driving their Hummer H2s to work from their houses 40 miles away are now coming to grips with their true vulnerability. Now that there is a new influx of people trying to use the trains and busses, many cities are finding that they are not prepared. Case in point: Chicago sold some of their old, tired commuter rail cars to Virginia many years ago for $1 apiece. Now that everyone is trying to take the trains in Chicago, they are now negotiating to buy the same cars back for $10,000 each. Yes, people should use public transportation more, but Federal, State and local authorities also have to cooperate too, and make the systems so they can accommodate growth, while keeping it attractive to new customers.

2. in transporting a refrigerator recently I was told to transport it in an upright position. Why?

The compressor on the refrigerator has oil in the crankcase, when turn on its side the oil leaves the crankcase and enters the lines. On startup the compressor will overheat and possibly lockup. There are temperature safety's to help prevent this but it still is possible. If you have to lay the fridge down leave it upright for a few days to let the oil migrate back. It should be fine, and yes the refrigerator has refrigerant in it not freon. Freon is a brand name of refrigerant manufactured by dupont.

The travel by airplane. After a seven-day quarantine in Europe, the US horses flew to the equestrian site in Hong Kong 'as part of a global migration that will ultimately include 297 horses from 47 nations travelling on 57 airplanes.'

4. How do you think transport in your hometown will change in the future?

1...In Los Angeles, most people have their own car. 2...Not very reliable; because of traffic / congestion, they often run behind schedule. 3...Hopefully, we'll have a rail, system, and electric cars to replace fossil-fuel engines.

5. What transport i can take from simferopol to odessa, ukraine other than taking train?

Ah, the joys of not planning in advance. You can take a bus, but it will cost you almost as much as the train for that distance. I don't know the exact price, since I've not take the bus (but it does run from Simferopol to Odessa). A taxi for a 400 mile trip would cost a fortune. It costs 250 UAH ($50) to go from Simferopol to Yalta, which is only 50 miles. You can book a flight on AeroSvit (online) for $465 round trip, or $260 one way. It costs so much because you will fly from Simferopol to Kyiv, then back to Odessa. You might be able to find and Aeroflot flight too.

6. What is the difference between passive transport and active transport in cells?

Passive Transport is the process of molecules moving from a higher concentration to a lower concentration to reach equilibrium an example would be osmosis. -water moves through a plasma membrane -puts the cell in 3 types of solutions 1. isotonic solution: same concentration of solutes as the cell, nothing happened 2. hypertonic solution: concentration of solutes is higher on the outside than the inside of the cell, cell shrinks 3.hypotonic solution: the solute is at a higher concentration inside the cell than outside, so water moves into the cell and it swells. Active transport is the movement of molecules which goes against the concentration gradient (low to high) and it needs ATP. an example would be carrier assisted transport which uses carrier proteins to move molecules against the concentration gradient, example:sodium potassium ion pump -3 sodium ions bind to the pump, a phosphate group (from ATP) also binds to the pump -the pump changes shape, transporting the 3 soidum ions acros the cell membrane, the sodium ions are released outsid ethe cell -2 potassium ions (outside the cell) bind to the pump, the potassium ions are transported across the cell membrane -the phosphate group is released and the two potassium ions are released inside the cell.

10. How do you transport fish over long distances?

There are many ways you can do this. However if you have any decor in your tank, I'd remove it ands put it in plastic bags. Option 1: Go to Petsmart or similar. They will pack your fish for you for free in plastic bags with oxygen. Option 2. Get a small battery operated aerator/pump. Drain out half the water, put the aerator/pump in and then load up the tank. Cover it very securely, and then drive (14 fish cannot survive in 15 gallons of water- hence the aerator to boost oxygen) Option 3- I do not know what sort of fish you have. If they are Zebra danios or other hardy fish, then you are unlikely to lose fish if you are sensible about it. However, if you have delicate/expensive fish, you might seriously wish to consider Option 1.

11. How much does it cost to transport a corpse overseas?

12. How does one transport lunch to school and still be totally cool ?

What are the other 5th graders using? My 5th and 6th graders still use lunch boxes, but so do their classmates. When we can't find our lunchboxes, we use brown paper lunch bags (though they are kind of small if you want to send a bev. and tend to break if you have an apple or other large fruit), or plastic grocery sacks. The downside of these options is the fruit bruises and the lunch gets warm, maybe even dangerously warm. String cheese and go-gurts can be frozen, and this helps to keep the lunch cooler. Or put the lunch in a paper bag inside the insulated lunchbag in his backpack. At lunchtime, voila! His lunch is cool and he is too!

16. What is the best way to transport a corn snake from the UK to Canada?

You will need to apply for a Canadian importation license first, and the process will give you the basic requirements you have to meet before shipping, along with the approved methods for doing so. The UK may require an export license. Do not try to simply sneak it through, it will be caught at the airport and cause you a lot of trouble. If it wasn't caught, then being shipped like any other piece of mail could be very hard on the snake. Just please don't try to sneak it through. A hassle, I know, but they don't play around with moving animals from country to country.

18. How can you transport aquarium fish long distances?

A) Packing fish - use double bags in case the inner one leaks - tie off the pointed ends with rubber bands or taped back to create round corners (small fish may get into corners become crushed or suffocated) - bag width should be at least twice fish length - Bag should be at least 3 times as deep as wide, for adequate air space - adults of territorial species fish larger than 6 cm should be packed separately - plastic jars can be used instead of bags, easier to open en-route to allow fresh air in - if using water from the existing tank, check ammonia nitrite levels are zero nitrates as low as possible - if existing tank water quality not that ideal, use about 2/3 tank water 1/3 new water in the packing containers - suggest to put a bit of zeolite in packing containers to remove ammonia excreted by fish in transit - put enough water in the containers, about 3 times fish body depth and add some stress coat conditioner - aerate the water in the containers vigorously for several minutes before adding fish and use as deep a bag as possible. If possible, get the local shop or someone with an oxygen tank to fill the containers with oxygen. You can also use your airpump to inflate the bags, better than nothing. Never inflate by blowing into the bag, your air is 'used' air that already has oxygen removed by your lungs. - seal the bags tightly while trapping as much air as possible - place the bags in a dark opaque insulated container, pack empty spaces with newspapers or bags filled with air to serve as padding to prevent the fish bags from sliding around B) During the journey - get to the destination as fast as possible. It is the time taken, not the distance, that is important in transporting fish - don't be tempted to keep peeking at the fish. It'll stress them more to have light repeatedly flashing into their eyes - only open the containers if you think they need fresh air, jars are more ideal than bags for this purpose C) Finally there - Get them unpacked as soon as possible, but keep them in the transport containers in a darkened area to let them calm down (just a very quick visual check that they're still ok) - once in the new tank, keep the tank lights off and don't feed immediately. The fishes will take a few days or at least a day to recover from the stress of travelling. It is quite likely there will be some fish loss on the way, but hopefully this can be minimised. Good luck to your friend his fishes!

19. What is the best transport from Universal Studios to Disneyland California?

one routing would be to take the Red Line for $1,25 to the 7th/Metro station then go to 7th/Flower and board Line 460 (it will cost you $2.50 more for this bus but will take you direct to Disneyland (you could also get a day pass from off the Red Line for $5.00 then you would have to pay the $1.00 express surcharge on the 460 (there used be a free shuttle from Disneyland to Universal but according to my sources at Gray line it was cancelled) and mostly you would have to have board the bus IN Anaheim (no one ways allowed)

20. How is receptor mediated transport different from phagocytosis and pinocytosis?

You're in my biology class. His questions are BS though... he gives us these questions for stuff he's never taught us before which just leads me personally to pretty much copy off wikipedia. Then he sometimes teaches us the material the next day. Considering the homework is due today I doubt you still need the homework...
