Flare

Prologue “Come on, it’s leaving!” “You know, maybe I’m having second thoughts on this whole ‘Jamestown’ ordeal…” “Aw you’re just scared, what do think will happen? Us get stranded or something? As if!” Ok fine, let me bring an extra flare gun in case something does happen. Let’s get going!” It was the 10th of December, 1606 when John Lorell and his close friend, Thomas Locke, boarded the Discovery, the smallest of the three ships sailing to create the first successful colony in North America. The two watched the harbor in London slowly shrink into nothingness as they day-dreamt about how wondrous this new colony would be once they got there. About 2½ months later, John and Thomas were on the lowest level of the ship, cowering from the raging…

When the northern lights come out, it sometimes appears as if the sky is on fire. There is an eerie connection between the Sun and our planet’s atmosphere that can sometimes cause the sky to unexpectedly glow with shades of red, yellow, purple and green; an atmospheric phenomenon called the northern lights or Aurora Borealis. The Sun is constantly spraying the solar system with millions of tons of charged particles each minute. The stream of charged particles from the Sun, or solar wind,…

1.0 BACKGROUND OF CASE STUDY Flare Fragrances Co., a manufacturer of women’s perfumes and currently ranked 4th in U.S women fragrances market. The brand is “Loveliest” introduced in 1975 became their flagship brand for many years. Since 1996, Flare introduced new brand every 2 to 3 years with each brand will have their flagship brand “Loveliest” on its label. Their latest brand launched in 2006, namely “Natural” is targeting younger generation. As a result, by 2007 fragrances product line…

responded to a flare sighting south of Panama City, FL. The SAR Mission Coordinator (SMC) received three separate reports from sources they deemed reliable. Each of the three reports was extremely similar and able to be correlated with the others. The flares were described as red and above the horizon with an upward trajectory. The flare cones from each source overlapped and provided a searchable overwater area for responding units. The local military units were questioned regarding flare…

Solar flares occur as a result of the build-up of magnetic energy inside the solar atmosphere which is released through the process of a sudden flash of brightness on the sun’s surface. The magnetic energy built up is released from the corona of the sun in the form of radiation across the whole electromagnetic. [10] For a solar flare to take place it requires an incredible 6 × 1025 Joules which is over 25,000 times more energy than that released throughout the impact of the Shoemaker-Levy 9…

This can be used to our advantage when we are sending astronauts in space because of the decrease in radiation, and then prevent to many astronauts from being sick from radiation. Also because we can send more astronauts since we know they are safe and gain more knowledge's about space during these solar flares. In a social perspective it would be smart to send astronauts during solar flares for their health. Another solution to prevent astronauts from being exposed to solar and cosmic radiation…

The medium sized ‘M-class’ (Mid-sized solar flare) solar flares can release enough charge particles to strip electrons from the earth’s ionosphere blocking communications signals to and from the satellites. The ionosphere also begins bouncing off the particles and waves back into space colliding with the satellites communication waves and momentarily interrupting signals between the satellites and earth. When a large ‘X-class’ (largest of all solar flares) solar flare occurs it carries enough…

storm that occurred by the sun that affected earth. How solar flares and solar storms occur is first they start off by the lines of the magnetic fields that sometimes overlap each other. As a result of this overlap, they can sometimes get tangled, which will cause the sun’s atmosphere to explode due to the magnetic fields overlapping and getting tangled with each other. The sun's spots on the sun increased in size. The sun’s sunspots can reach temperatures up to about 6,500 degrees Fahrenheit.…

On September 6, the sun let its presence be felt by unleashing two massive solar flares. The first eruption, classified as an X2.2 flare, the strongest since 2008, occurred at 5:10 a.m. ET. Shortly after, at 8:02 a.m ET, the star spewed out a bigger, and more dramatic, X9.3 flare — the strongest on record since December 2006. Solar flares, or storms, beginning with an explosion usually above a sunspot, the area where strong magnetic fields poke through the sun's surface. When these spots become…

(proteinuria > 6 g/24 h or creatinine > 2 mg/dl), severe active neuropsychiatric lupus, potentially life-threatening SLE manifestations and ongoing or planned pregnancy. Clinical scores (i.e. SLEDAI-2K score, SELENA-SLEDAI Flare Index, SLICC/SDI score), daily prednisone intake, and laboratory parameters (i.e. white blood cells, anti-dsDNA antibody, C3 and C4 levels) were collected at baseline and at…
