Introduction Stereochemistry alludes to the science that reviews the properties of stereoisomers. It can likewise be characterized as the branch of chemistry concerned about the three-dimensional course of action of particles and atoms and the impact of this on concoction responses. A critical branch of stereochemistry is the investigation of chiral atoms. Stereochemistry is otherwise called 3D science in light of the fact that the prefix "stereo-" signifies "three-dimensionality". The primary…

In addition, individuals suffering from a behavioral addiction may also experience behaviors analogous to tolerance or withdrawal symptoms of substance use disorder. Research shows a…
In her paper, E-cigarettes abound in unproven health claims, Sarah Milov supported her claims with much more evidence than Amy Ridenour did in her paper, Vaping is not as bad as smoking.

Ms. Milov’s writing was much stronger. She opens by stating up front, that e-cigarette manufactures have created an industry…
Neurons do not readily react to the same amount of dopamine after repeated over-stimulation of neurotransmitter (Cho and Melega, 2001). It also undergoes adaptive change as neurons weakly response to dopamine. Repeated methamphetamine use also causes reduction in dopamine transporter availability…
During the course of Brave New World I noticed the presence and effect of soma on Ford’s utopia which is very similar to the opioid crisis that tarnishes our society today. In Ford’s Utopia the use of Soma is widespread and a very addictive substance that allows citizens to cope with everyday challenges which they wouldn't be able to face without the use of the drug. Society today, views drug use especially powerful opioids as a taboo and those who are addicted are viewed as inferior person…
Aldous Huxley wrote two books that have similar names, Brave New World(as BNW in the following paragraphs) and Brave New World Revisited(as Revisited in the following paragraph), and they are as different as a bird and an elephant.

Huxley depicts many dreamy and unreal scenes. Thousands of infants are brainwashed while they…
