Having fluoridated drinking water has always just been the norm for me all my life while growing up. I haven’t put much thought into what is in the water that I use every day for just about everything such as, cooking, cleaning, and drinking. These things are normally just everyday task that many of us take advantage of, but what is really in our water, and how do we know it’s even safe? I would like to discuss the different questions that have been raised according to having fluorine added to…

The aim of this experiment was to analyze a sample of finished beer for possible microbiological contaminants such as lactic acid bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and wild yeasts/molds. This was accomplished by using a series of spread/pour plate dilutions with various media types that contained selective ingredients. By cross-referencing the different medias and comparing observations, the generalized groups of contaminants were able to be confidently conjectured. Growth was witnessed on DRBC,…

Recent research shows that AgNPs enhance luminol fluorescence and chemiluminescence by acting as a catalyst with hydrogen peroxide. When AgNPs interact with hydrogen peroxide they cause the peroxide to degrade into superoxide and hydroxyl radical, which also react with luminol to form 3-aminophthalate (Equations 2-5) [13]. The further degradation of hydrogen peroxide into other reactive oxygen species promotes higher fluorescence intensity. Figure 5 shows the increased fluorescence intensity…

My Last Duchess “My Last Duchess,” by Robert Browning, is about a duke in search for a new bride. The Duke of Ferrara is giving a tour of his estate to a servant of a Count in hopes to marry his daughter. The poem is set in what seems to be an art gallery and the duke spends most of his time in front of a portrait of his last duchess and talks about what she was like. Apparently, the Duchess was easily made happy and that was problematic according to the Duke, so much it was enough to have…

In the phrase, “Are you to turn and ask thus. Sir, ‘t was not her husband’s presence only, called that spot of joy into the Duchess’ cheek,” Browning uses the word spot with particular meaning. He refers to the duchess blushing in the painter, but with the diction of the word spot, it makes the color in her cheeks seem as more of an indication of betrayal. It is no longer a stunning glow of…

darker atmosphere that purposely makes the reader feel uncomfortable or leaves them questioning why the poem seems so ominous. Poems can convey the eerie and the disturbed, granted, each piece does so in their own way. Both Lord Tennyson and Robert Browning construct dark and haunting poems in The Lady of Shalott and Porphyria’s Lover, respectively. The two works cohesively build a mood that forces the reader to become enticed in the brooding tale that is told. Through the analysis of form, of…

listener cares. Through the demonstration of an active, genuine expression of compassion to the talker, the listener will earn the talker’s heart and mind. Facial communication, as well as gentle words, helps display that they feel worried about their speech. Developing active listening abilities involves listeners to evaluate their place within the discussion. It is vital that they comprehend how they “come across” as they listen. At first, it may feel stifled, but as active listening skills…

released and returned to his life of crime. Clyde was also the mastermind behind the “Eastham Breakout’ of 1934. This breakout allowed five convicts to escape the Texas Department of Corrections (“Bonnie” 4 #3). Clyde’s favorite weapon to use was the Browning Automatic Rifle. He stole the rifle from an armory and used it to escape when the gang’s location was outed by a pharmacist (“Bonnie” 4 #3). Bonnie, unlike Clyde, did not murder anyone during any robberies, but she stayed by his side…

I will be studying gender development in children to gain a better understanding of how gender has influenced the development of patriarchal societies. I hope to learn what aspects of gender are biological and what parts are ingrained into children at a young age. Also, I hope to learn why adults continue to pressure strong gender expectations onto their children, even after acknowledging that it can be harmful for those who do not conform. Additionally, I want to explore why gender roles have…

technique to effectively convey their argument through the use of several rhetorical appeals such as ethos, pathos, logos and kairos. Stakeholders are organizations or individuals who have a stake in or “care about any given issue, topic, or event” (Browning 45). One such organization is the Polaris Project which is “a leader in the global fight to eradicate modern slavery” (Bouchard). Their mission statement explicates their attempts to put an end to these acts of brutality…
