1. INTRODUCTION Thiosemicarbazone is a derivative of imine which is formed when an aldehyde/ketone reacts with a thiosemicarbzide through a condensation reaction. The presence of the hetero atoms like Sulphur and Nitrogen makes these derivatives biologically active. Lately, great emphasis is laid on the synthesis and development of these derivatives reason being the wide variety of pharmacological activities exhibited by them. So far, thiosemicarbazones have been shown to exhibit analgesic and…
Trauma encompasses a wide variety of insults to the body ranging from motor vehicle accidents, interpersonal violence, falls from great heights, contact sports, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and industrial accidents. Trauma accounts for 10% of deaths among men and women, and is the leading cause of death for those younger than the age of 40 years. Thoracic trauma comprises 10%-15% of all traumas.1 It directly accounts for approximately 25% of trauma-related mortality and is a contributing…
When most people think of the word “Rave” they think of loud music, flashy lights, bass, and drugs. While that may have been the case years ago, today raves have changed into a much safer place for many age groups. People associate ravers with druggies and sluts. Rave culture is widely shamed and looked down upon. Are raves as bad as they once were? Are all the rave stereotypes out of date? What I know is that raves can range from 4 to 12+ hours and include music from progressive house to…
In the video by Doug Dietz, we see a problem most people overlook being seen and fixed because of one thing: empathy. Doug showed empathy to the family that came to get an MRI scan in the Scanner he designed, so he was able to feel the anxiety and stress faced by the parents and the children. They are the ones the hospital would use the machine on. Hence it is their satisfaction that is important to him. As a designer, I know that a designer feels the most satisfaction when their design serves…
In this work, we assume two different potentials for the initial and final heavy quarkonia and the intermediary hybrid states. The most popular potential form for the study of heavy quarkonia is the Cornell potential [11] V(r)= -κ/r + b r (2.13) Usually many authors prefer α_s (r) instead of κ. The relation between them is κ=(4α_s (r))/3 and α_s (r) can treated as constant for bb ̅ and cc ̅…
Two chromatographic methods were developed for the assay of the FDA approved lozenges containing dextromethorphan hydrobromide (DXT) and menthol (MNT). The first was a green HPTLC method which depends on using Merck HPTLC aluminum sheets of silica gel 60 F254 and methanol-ammonia (10:0.1, v/v) as mobile phase. This was followed by densitometric measurements of the spots which were retained at 0.28 ± 0.01 for DXT and 0.76 ± 0.02 for MNT scanned at 210 nm. The method was found linear over the…
Good afternoon everyone, today I thought we could start with a quick survey. Could I get you to raise your hand is you have a grandparent over the age of 70, who still has a drivers license please? If we look around, this number may not seem like many but this is only a small representation on the larger population. The fact of the matter is that many elderly people still drive on our roads. For this reason, we should be making ’S’ plates compulsory for drivers over the age of 70. This would…
influence blood pressure and the other type can negatively influence blood pressure. A more detailed comparison will now be made between beneficial and harmful humour. Harmful humour can be sarcastic or aggressive, e.g., “Madame, I’d like to drink to your beauty…So you can imagine how hard up I am for a drink!” (Groucho Marx) Harmful humour can also be self-deprecating (ingratiating oneself), e.g., “My father had an ulcer for a long time, but he finally got rid of it…I left home.” (Alan Feiman)…
The fight just ended in a TKO. I started the fight with a couple jabs from the left to fly up with a right handed uppercut. He didn’t see it coming, he got about 7 hits landed, I had 27 landed and about 30 swung. I hit him in the right temple and that’s what caught him stumbling. His 7 or so hits weren’t even hard either he just wanted to get me to back up but I just kept going. When i was finished with him i went back to the changing room to destroy it and leave, we went in there and…
There are many milestones that occur during the aging process, one of those processes for women is menopause. The medicalization of menopause has created a market for treatment and prevention of the symptoms related to menopause (Burrell, 2009). Menopause is defined as the “occurring 12 months after a woman’s final menstrual period” (Bjorklund, 2015, p. 54). Women usually go through menopause between 47 and 55 years old and experience a drop in estrogen and progesterone during perimenopause…
