APEX-CAMBIUM - Advanced Plant Experiments on Orbit [2] Funded by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), APEX-Cambium will help determine the role gravity plays in trees forming different kinds of wood. BCAT-5 - Binary Colloidal Alloy Test [3] BISE - Bodies In the Space Environment [4] CCISS - Space travel can be dizzying [5]
The director of the experiment, Art McDonald, was co-awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2015 for the experiment's contribution to the discovery of neutrino oscillation. [ 1 ] The underground laboratory has been enlarged into a permanent facility and now operates multiple experiments as SNOLAB .
SNOLAB is a Canadian underground science laboratory specializing in neutrino and dark matter physics. Located 2 km below the surface in Vale's Creighton nickel mine near Sudbury, Ontario, SNOLAB is an expansion of the existing facilities constructed for the original Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) solar neutrino experiment.
A FACE experiment began at Duke University in June 1994. The Blackwood Division of the Duke Forest contains the Forest-Atmosphere Carbon Transfer and Storage facility. This consists of four free-air CO 2 enrichment plots which provide higher levels of atmospheric CO 2 concentration and four plots that provide ambient CO 2 control. [ 5 ]
Oxygenation results in part of the substrate being oxidized rather than carboxylated, resulting in loss of substrate and consumption of energy, in what is known as photorespiration. Oxygenation and carboxylation are competitive , meaning that the rate of the reactions depends on the relative concentration of oxygen and CO 2 .
The symmetry of a carbon dioxide molecule is linear and centrosymmetric at its equilibrium geometry. The length of the carbon–oxygen bond in carbon dioxide is 116.3 pm, noticeably shorter than the roughly 140 pm length of a typical single C–O bond, and shorter than most other C–O multiply bonded functional groups such as carbonyls.

In addition, a liquid scintillator experiment can detect anti-neutrinos like those created in nuclear fission reactors and the decay of thorium and uranium in the earth. SNO+ uses 780 tonnes of linear alkylbenzene as the scintillator (the detector started to be filled with the scintillator at the end of 2018 [ 3 ] ) and will be filled with 130
The following is a breakdown of the energetics of the photosynthesis process from Photosynthesis by Hall and Rao: [6]. Starting with the solar spectrum falling on a leaf, 47% lost due to photons outside the 400–700 nm active range (chlorophyll uses photons between 400 and 700 nm, extracting the energy of one 700 nm photon from each one)
