hospital. Later, in 1987 3M developed an all patient DRG (AP-DRG) system based on a New York’s hospital reimbursement program for non-Medicare discharges. In 1989, Yale University came up with Refined DRG (RDRG) system to identify the severity of illness incurred to Medicare candidates. Again there was a reform in the system by HCFA which is present CMS in 1990, which includes complications and comorbidities in Medicare DRGs under the category known as…

Space Shuttle The space missions by NASA involve the exploration of our space by pushing for more scientific and technical skills. It is indeed useful for us in addressing the fundamental concerns especially concerning the solar system. Through space missions, the exploration is expanded by using the technology. The missions are essential in integrating technology in form of robotic missions (Xu, & Kanade, 2010). For any successful endeavor as observed in the science center. The translunar space…

located in the data for all the TLC plate. The mixed compound that was dotted on the TLC plate had 0.300 g of the impure benzoic acid and 10 mL of dichloromethane. A 50 mL flask was weighed and recorded. A separation funnel was then filled with 10mL of 3M NaOH and 10 mL of the dichloromethane. The funnel was capped and flipped upside-down while the lid was held. The solvent was mixed inside the separation funnel for a couple…

Introduction Extraction involves the separation of compounds in a mixture. This separation in based on the differences in each compound’s solubility. For the purpose of this lab, the liquid-liquid extraction technique was used. This method involves using two immiscible solvents, and because of each compounds solubility in each of those solvents, the mixed compounds can separate. Generally, this process includes water as one of the immiscible solvents, but for this lab, t-butyl methyl ether was…

Imagine going about your day, when suddenly, a civil war erupts and people scatter for safety? Understanding that’s not how it happened, but imagine being part of the millions of peoples scattering for their lives and seeking a safe place to stay. Turmoil in Syria has left the country in disarray. Neighboring countries were left speechless when they heard was in the brink of civil war. During war, people of all classes are affected, and innocent families are killed. Knowing this war has no end…

Extraction involves dissolving a compound or compounds either from a solid into a solvent or from a solution into another solvent. In extractions it is important to mix the layers very well to get a clear visual of the two solvents in the solutions. We use the solvent extraction techniques to effectively separate an organic, Base, Acid and neutral compounds. Within each of these layers the experiment is modified to fit each of the different situations. So when looking at the solids, carboxylic…

reaction involves mixing two chemicals were to form an excited (high-energy) intermediate that releases energy as light. This experiment first synthesized luminol by reducing 5-nitro-2,3-dihyodropthlazine-1,4-dione, using sodium hydrosulfite (Na2S2O4) and 3M sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The amount of luminol collected was 0.2693 g with the percent yield of 161%. The product of the first reaction was then used to recreate the chemiluminescence experiment by mixing luminol, oxidizing agent (hydrogen…

This realization came after “realizing that it would be necessary to coat the entire strip with adhesive, 3M began mass producing masking tape for auto painting and soon went on to make a transparent, or cellophane, tape for general consumer use.” (Schlager, 1994) Scotch tape became a successful product even while the Great Depression was in full force, which…

Sushil Bhandari (1997) defined vibration as a repeated movement in the normal rest position. The parameters involved with vibration are commonly amplitude or displacement and velocity or acceleration of the ground movement (Visvan, 2005). During demolition operation, vibration is normally caused by the impact of fallen structures or by the use of explosives (BS 6187:2000), which could pose detrimental effects of structural damage of adjacent premises, buried services like gas pipes, disturbance…

the history of the food, the nutrition, and the science behind them. The goji berry originated in china, which produces them daily. It has multiple health benefits but aside from that it’s used to add flavour to several dishes. The perennial plant is 3m tall and the berries are bright red or orange with a depth of about 2 cm. The claims are that they help boost your vision, boost your immune system, speed up weight loss, and much more. So far there is insufficient evidence to rate…
