Ammonium nitrate

alone in his evil mischief he was accompanied by a old army buddy named Terry Nicholas. Mcveigh and Nichols started gathering and collecting all kinds of materials to build their monster but simple bomb. The bomb was made up of “4,800 pounds of ammonium nitrate fertilizer mixed with fuel oil in 20 blue plastic drums. It was “boosted” with metal containers of hydrogen or acetylene, to make it even more lethal” (Thomas). A couple days before the bombing mcveigh started assembling the bomb in the…

Intercropping in Sugarcane Cultivation Influenced the Soil Properties and Enhanced the Diversity of Vital Diazotrophic Bacteria Abstract To investigate the effect of sugarcane intercropping cultivation (peanut and soybean) on the soil properties and diazotrophic bacterial diversity, soil survey was conducted at four different locations of Guangxi, China. Principal component analysis of soil chemical properties showed difference among intercropping and monoculture samples. Next to this, PCA…

Toyota and Takata’s Airbag Controversy In recent events, Toyota has begun a recall of over thirty-four million cars of different makes and models. The recall initiated due to faulty airbags made by Japanese corporation known as Takata. The issue with these airbags lies within the inflator and the propellant devices, which cause them to improperly deploy and explode. The explosion shoots metal fragments into occupants and has already killed fourteen in the United States alone. Unfortunately,…

The day the Murrah Federal building was bombed was a traumatic day here in Oklahoma.Not just for the people personally affected but everyone as a community. Timothy McVeigh tookover 100 innocent lives that day because he was angry at the government. However, he quicklybecame a perfect example as to how strong our country truly is and how justice will be served.At 9:02am, on April 19, 1995, people’s lives changed forever (history.com staff). Outsidethe Alfred P. Murrah Federal building in…

order to have an indication of general health levels for Freshwater creek, measurements of the water parameters must be regularly checked. This is done to maintain health and prevent abnormal water qualities. Certain water qualities like dissolved nitrates, ammonia and oxygen will be measured at a site upstream from Goomboora Park. This site will be referred to as, Site 1. Measurements from Site 1 will be analysed and compared to water qualities recorded from previous years (2012, 2013, 2014,…

2). This causes damage to all species living in an affected area. Excess nitrogen, which can be created from air pollution, can then cause eutrophication and acidification effects on ecosystems, such as increase in bark pH and the change of ammonium and nitrate in precipitation (APIS). These adjustments mainly affect species that are customized to low nitrogen availability, like lichens mosses, and thus they are in danger of extinction. However, lichens are considered highly valued ecological…

Big, Hot, Cheap, and Right: What America Can Learn from the Strange Genius of Texas Erica Grieder. PublicAffairs, 250 West 57th Street, 15th Floor, New York, NY 10107, copyright 2013. 284 pages. Big, Hot, Cheap, and Right What America Can Learn from the Strange Genius of Texas, by Erica Grieder, breaks Texas down into its basic components in order to explain to non-Texans what Texas truly is. Grieder’s covers four main topics in her book. One of the topics she talks about is the…

become caught up in prevailing winds and can travel long distances to other regions or locations where they can also cause great damage. The pollutants react with water (H2O), oxygen (O2), other gases and sunlight to form sulphuric acid (H2SO4), ammonium nitrate, and nitric acid (HNO3) (Dubey, 2013; ESA,…

safety. However, in the early 2000’s the company took a stumble and eventually fell due to one major error that’s has followed them for over a decade. Takata has only two product lines, airbag systems and seat belts and in 2000 they began using ammonium nitrate propellant to propel the airbag systems deployment. Jump four years later and an anonymous executive admits to doctoring some of their test data concerning this new airbag propellant system after one of their airbag deployments killed…

In this experiment Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) was performed under reducing conditions to estimate the molecular weight of proteins within a sample. The protein sample was from the previous using anionic exchange chromatography to partially purify N-acetyl--D-hexosaminidase, Lab 3. The molecular weight was determined through the interpolation of a standard curve of proteins with a known molecular weight. The molecular weight of band 1 was determined to…
