The 1960s produced a large number of environmental-focused songs, primarily due to the popularization of folk music and the musicians that penned many environmental protest songs, in that genre. [3] In the 1960s and 1970s, popular music was influenced by the counterculture movement, anti-Vietnam war movement and the civil rights movement. [10]
Mazuku forming in a low morphological depression on the foothills of Mt. Amiata, Italy, where CO 2-rich fog accumulates in a ditch. Mazuku (Swahili for "evil winds") are pockets of dry, cold carbon dioxide-rich gases released from vents or fissures in volcanically and tectonically active areas, and mixed with dispersed atmospheric air and accumulating in typically low-lying areas.
[6] The Moore lamps utilized nitrogen or carbon dioxide as the luminous gas; Moore's innovation compensated for the gradual loss of gas in the lamp to the electrodes and the glass. Carbon dioxide gave a good quality white light. The first commercial installation was done in 1904 in a hardware store in Newark, New Jersey. [5]
Carbon dioxide is the lasing medium in a carbon-dioxide laser, which is one of the earliest type of lasers. Carbon dioxide can be used as a means of controlling the pH of swimming pools, [139] by continuously adding gas to the water, thus keeping the pH from rising. Among the advantages of this is the avoidance of handling (more hazardous) acids.
Musicology (from Greek μουσική mousikē 'music' and -λογια-logia, 'domain of study') is the scholarly study of music.Musicology research combines and intersects with many fields, including psychology, sociology, acoustics, neurology, natural sciences, formal sciences and computer science.
Phonograph cylinders (also referred to as Edison cylinders after its creator Thomas Edison) are the earliest commercial medium for recording and reproducing sound.Commonly known simply as "records" in their heyday (c. 1896–1916), a name which has been passed on to their disc-shaped successor, these hollow cylindrical objects have an audio recording engraved on the outside surface which can ...
The second most important greenhouse gas, and the most important trace gas affected by man-made sources, is carbon dioxide. [12] It contributes about 20% of Earth's total greenhouse effect. [ 13 ] The reason that greenhouse gases can absorb infrared radiation is their molecular structure.
[26] The airborne fraction has been around 60% since the 1950s, indicating that about 60% of the new carbon dioxide in the atmosphere each year originated from human sources. [10] For clarity, this is not meant to suggest that 60% of the uptake of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere comes from human activity.
