How the AAS works
A brief description on the operation of the Atomic Absorption Spectrometer. Please note: There is an error in the explanation from 3:10 to 3:30. The correct explanation is:"Photons from the hollow cathode lamp are absorbed in the flame by the atoms of the element being examined. These atoms then emit identical photons but in a random direction so that the number going straight through from the lamp to the detector is reduced. The random emitted photons are not detected except for those which happen to be emitted in the original direction by chance." We apologise for this and will rectify this as soon as possible.

Should We Stop Worrying and Love the Population Bomb?
Should We Stop Worrying and Love the Population Bomb?
Date posted: July 9, 2013As we observe World Population Day 2013 on July 11, we at the GrowthBusters project think this is a time to ensure the public is armed with the facts about population. We put this video together to do just that. I went out with a camera and microphone to talk to the people, to find out what they know and think about the state of the world population. You might be surprised at what I found.
Growth apologists want us to relax about population growth and remain complacent, waiting at least another 100 years for world population to stabilize (if supplies of food, water, energy and scarce resources miraculously keep up). Many people feel the UN population projections are just a fact of life and nothing we can do will end population growth sooner.
The truth is we don’t want to be complacent about the world’s growing population. The scale of the human enterprise (the size of our population and our economies) passed into overshoot (exceeding the Earth’s sustainable carrying capacity) 30 years ago.
This story will give you a quick snapshot.
And the truth is we have the power to not only stop population growth but to contract our population to a sustainable level – within 100 years if we really set our hearts on it, by simply making sure every couple around the world is armed with knowledge of what their family size decisions will mean to their own children, and by ensuring these couples have access to family planning tools like contraception, and by supporting women’s right to have a say in their own reproductive health.
You are welcome to show the video to any audience, at any event. I hope teachers will show this to their classes, parents to their children, constituents to their elected officials.
Special thanks to Nina Paley for the use of her wonderful stork animation.

Top 10 Deadliest Natural Disasters in History
Violent natural disasters have devastated humanity over the centuries, but because some of them struck long ago, scientists have been unable to estimate a death count. The Mediterranean island of Stroggli, for example, is believed to have been completely wiped out by a volcanic eruption and ensuing tsunami that eradicated the entire Minoan civilization around 1500 B.C., although the death toll remains uncertain.
The 10 deadliest natural disasters which involve mostly earthquakes and floods for which historians can provide accurate death tolls, however, have killed an estimated total of 10 million people. Here, the 10 deadliest natural disasters, from fewest casualties to most, starting with an earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people in Syria.
10. Aleppo Earthquake
This earthquake struck Aleppo, the largest city in Syria, on Oct. 11, 1138. Based on geological data, modern estimates give the earthquake a magnitude of 8.5. Historical records suggest that approximately 230,000 people died and the city suffered extensive damage. Aleppo is located in northern Syria, a region that is part of the Dead Sea Fault system because it rests on the boundary between the Arabian geologic plate and the African plate.
9. Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami
On Dec. 26, 2004, an undersea, magnitude-9.3 earthquake, with an epicenter off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, resulted in a devastating tsunami that hit the coasts of several countries in South and Southeast Asia. The Indian Ocean earthquake and its resulting tsunami killed an estimated 225,000 to 230,210 people.
#8. Haiyuan earthquake
The 8.5-magnitude Haiyuan earthquake hit the Haiyuan County area of the Ningxia Province in the Republic of China on Dec. 16, 1920. It's also known as the Gansu earthquake because Ningxia was a part of Gansu Province at the time. The quake killed 235,502 people, according to the Catalog of Damaging Earthquakes in the World, which is maintained by the International Institute of Seismology and Earthquake Engineering in Japan.

On July 28, 1976, the epicenter of the Tangshan Earthquake struck near Tangshan, an industrial city with approximately one million inhabitants located in Hebei, People's Republic of China. Tangshan's dense population was devastated by the magnitude-8 earthquake. The Chinese government initially reported a death toll of 655,000, but that number was later re-estimated to about 242,000 people.

The Antioch earthquake took place during the mid-spring of 526 AD, estimated to have been between May 20 and 29. The major earthquake hit Syria and Antioch, a city that was near what is now modern-day Antakya, Turkey. Approximately 250,000 to 300,000 people died as a result of the earthquake, according to historical writings. After the quake, a massive fire destroyed most of the buildings that the earthquake had spared.

On Nov. 25, 1839, what became known as the "India Cyclone" hit the harbor village of Coringa, located in Andhra Pradesh, India. The cyclone triggered a 40-foot-wave that destroyed much of the village and most of the ships near the area, with about 20,000 people drowning at sea. An estimated total of 300,000 people died because of the cyclone.

The deadliest cyclone ever recorded, the Bhola cyclone struck East Pakistan (what is now Bangladesh) and India's West Bengal on Nov. 12, 1970, flooding much of the low-lying islands of the Ganges Delta. Approximately 500,000 people died, primarily because of the floods that resulted from the cyclone's storm surge, or a rise in water level that overtakes the shore.
![shanxi-province-02]()
#3. Shaanxi Earthquake
In Jan. 23, 1556, the deadliest earthquake ever recorded occurred in the Shaanxi province and the neighboring Shanxi province, located in northern China. The catastrophic earthquake had an estimated magnitude of 8 and killed approximately 830,000 people. This death toll is believed to have reduced the population of both provinces by about 60 percent.

The Yellow River Flood, the worst flood in human history and the second deadliest disaster ever, occurred in September 1887, when the Yellow River overran the dikes in China's Henan Province. The flood devastated 11 large Chinese towns and hundreds of villages, leaving millions homeless. The flood waters covered 50,000 square miles, killing an estimated 900,000 to 2,000,000 people.

The worst natural disaster in history, the Central China Floods occurred from July to August 1931, when the Yangtze River overflowed and caused a series of floods. As a result of the massive flooding, an estimated 3.7 million people died from drowning, disease and starvation. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, more than 51 million people, or one-fourth of China's population, were affected by the Central China Floods.

The World Population Day is observed by the United Nations on July 11 every year. The focus this year is on adolescent pregnancy.
The World Population Day is observed by the United Nations on July 11 every year. The focus this year is on adolescent pregnancy.
This year, the United Nations will focus on one aspect to control the population growth - Adolescent Pregnancy.
According to the United Nations, around 16 million girls under the age of 18 years give birth every year.
Controlling adolescent pregnancy does not mean urging the adolescents to undergo abortion. Adolescent pregnancy can only be controlled through adequate education and use of birth control measures.
Adolescent pregnancy affects both the mother as well as the fetus. Some girls try to undergo unsafe abortions, which could put their lives in danger. Yet others may suffer from complications during childbirth. The child may also suffer from low birth weight and other problems.
In some countries, adolescent pregnancies are due to sexual activity at an early age. However, the picture is different in developing countries. Many of these pregnancies happen in children who are married before the age of 18 years. Though India has banned such marriages, it is a fact that they continue to take place in some areas and rob children of their childhood.
Adolescent pregnancies can be controlled to some extent through education and easily availability of contraceptive methods. Sex education is necessary for all teenage girls. Besides, the community also has to be educated on the evils of child marriage and the necessity for every girl child to live her childhood to the full extent!
