Repiping Your Home | Water Line Repair Katy The potential for damage to your home and its foundation is a real threat when leaks occur. The potential for mold to develop and threaten the health of your family is also a serious threat with worn pipe. When this is the situation, repiping your home is certainly preferred over water line repair in Katy. Frequent water line leaks and clogged water pipes are a sign it is time to repipe your home. Until problems occur, the plumbing is not something we…

Discovered by a two German Chemists, Ferdinand Reich and Theodor Richter co-founded Indium in 1863. Their initial focus was to trace potential Thallium in Zinc ores (rocks), however, it eventually led them to extracting Indium as a by-product of Zinc ores. As of today, there are multiple regions and elements in which Indium can be extracted from but it is not because of its accessibility but rather the demand. The demand for Indium is primarily used for technological purposes- the most prevalent…

All heartbeats consist of a mechanical component and an electrical component. The heartbeat is created by cardiac depolarization caused by electrical currents that induce muscle contraction. The electrical component of the heartbeat begins in the Sinoatrial (SA) Node and its function is to send electrical impulses that stimulate your heart to beat, and these impulses induce the atria to contract. As the atria contract, the impulse moves on to the Atrioventricular (AV) node which leads the…

Of the four organic macromolecules deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is a nucleic acid. DNA is a double-stranded molecule comprised of numerous nucleotides covalently bound together. Nucleotides contain a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases. The four nitrogenous bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). To construct DNA’s double helix, hydrogen bonds form between two complementary nitrogenous bases. These bonds only form between adenine…

Reflection High-Energy Electron Refraction Intensity Oscillations Reflection high-energy electron refraction (RHEED) has been used as a surface probe for in situ observation of monolayer growth using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) because of its high surface sensitivity and a near grazing incidence. It utilizes diffraction of electrons by surface atoms[1] and the RHEED intensity oscillation can convey morphological information of the growth surface if the intensity oscillation pattern is properly…

1. INTRODUCTION Graphene consists of single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It is the basic structural element of many other forms of carbon, such as graphite, charcoal, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes. In simple terms, graphene, is a thin layer of pure carbon bonded together in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice. It is the thinnest compound known to man, the lightest material known, the strongest compound discovered, the best conductor of heat at room temperature and also the…

with the protein to cause further denaturing. The denaturing and charging of the proteins will give all the proteins the same charge (negative) and the same structure (primary). This will allow the protein bands to migrate to the positively charged anode, according to their size and not by their amino acid sequence. This can be a problem if different protein bands of the same size are run together- as they will not separate because they have the same mass. Usually, when running the gel…

What is the most effective pH level of pectinase solution that is used on the average human diet? Since no prior research has been done on this topic, one must delve into the topic of pectinase, how it works, why it’s used so commonly in the apple juice and wine industry, electrolysis, hydrolysis, and the contents of an average human diet, to properly understand the subject. Pectinase, also known as pectic enzyme, is composed of chemicals such as polygalacturonase (C43H67N15O12S2), pectolyase,…

We know that radiation is harmful to us, even the sun’s UV waves are know to cause skin cancer. Than why, you may ask, do you think radiation is so good for us when it is so bad for our health? Well, for starters the two biggest types of power right now are Nuclear and Coal. If you have been keeping up with the environmental status coal is not helping the climate. People want to enjoy technology, but that costs power, which comes from coal. How do we balance these two, protecting the…

High temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs) are a promising clean technology, especially for automobile applications.1 These devices generate electricity from the chemical reactions that occur in the anode side of the cell, using H2 as a fuel and generating heat and water as by-products.2, 3 However, experimental studies using HT-PEMFCs show that degradation of the cell can occur after certain hours of operation (around 500 hours).4 Some of the factors that contribute to the…
