The Effects of Light Intensity on Cell Population and Oxygen Production of Arthrospira platensis
No full textAs space exploration becomes more advanced, scientists look to find new ways to create nourishment and oxygen to maintain long-term space travel. Arthrospira platensis, commonly known as Spirulina, could be a possible solution to these problems. This cyanobacterium converts carbon dioxide into pure oxygen and the cell structure (coiled or straight) appears to trigger different oxygen and cultivation responses. Mixed (coiled and straight, Fig. 4) and coiled (Fig. 5) Spirulina cultures were transferred into 2.5 L containers and placed in white light boxes with varying intensities of light: 15 µmol/㎡/s, 7 µmol/㎡/s, and 3 µmol/㎡/s. Each experiment lasted 72 hours and Spirulina’s oxygen production and cell concentration in the cultures were measured at the 24h, 48h, and 72h marks.
The higher-intensity light produced a significant amount of oxygen and oxygen per cell as compared to low-intensity light. As the experiment progressed, the higher amount of time produced a reduction in the cell counts. Although the coiled Spirulina produced more gas and had a higher cell count on average, the mixed culture in the medium and low light levels were found to have a higher oxygen per cell average

Paul and Seneca on the Immanence of God: Stoicism and Christianity Compared
No full textThis Thesis is a comparative study of the apostle Paul and the Stoic philosopher Seneca on the immanence of God. The study compares Paul and Seneca’s views on the divine, the self, and the immanence of the divine. The study compares epistle 41 of Seneca’s letters to Lucilius and Romans 8:9-11
