roughly 17.6 MeV whereas the deuterium-deuterium reaction only has a yield of about 3.65 MeV. Still, the DT reaction has its disadvantages. For one, in the DT reaction about 80% of the energy is stored in a high-energy neutron which, due to its neutral charge, is hard to capture (“Nuclear Binding”). This is compared with only about 25% of the energy being stored in the neutron for the DD reaction. Additionally, the DT reaction requires a higher triple product than the DD reaction, making it more…

Atomic structure AC1.1 1. Produce a table showing each sub-atomic particle with their relative masses and charges (Bbc.co.uk 2015). Particle Relative Charge Relative Mass Proton +1 1 Neutron 0 1 Electron -1 2. Explain the meaning of the terms, ATOMIC NUMBER and MASS NUMBER of an atom in terms of sub atomic particles. The atomic number refers to the number of protons in an atom, the mass number refers to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons (Bbc.co.uk 2015). 3. A…

Jessica Vandeventer 16 March 16 Static Electricity or Electrostatics Purpose/Question- The purpose of this experiment it to explore static electricity and to explore how charges effect one another. Hypothesis– Any like charges will repel each other and any unalike charges will be attracted to each other. Data Tables/ Graphs – Charging Material Pepper Salt Paper Aluminum Styrofoam Uncharged Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing Cotton Nothing Nothing Stuck to ruler Stuck to ruler Nothing Fur…

Electrophysiology involves using electric conductance to measure the electrical activity of cells and tissues in biological samples. It regulates the electrical activity through a change in voltage or electric current. Specifically, in neuronal cells, it helps in the assessment of action potential, long-term potentiation (LTP) and long term depression (LTD)-all of which play an important role in the synaptic activity of the cell. Patch Clamp technique is one of the widely used electrophysiology…

There are countless ways that an iPhone or an iPad can get damaged and while these are great devices that have become practically ubiquitous for anyone who uses them, they are also very prone to damage and it is very important to have the number of iPhone or iPad repairs handy. Here are some common ways that they can get damaged. In the pocket This is a classic way for the iPhone to get damaged. The problem is that the iPhone is constantly being carried on us and that therefore means that it's…

Freshwater creek is a freshwater stream located in North Cairns, and flows through the Redlynch area-which consists of rainforest, housing, farming and recreational areas. 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…

Currently, pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Furthermore, the five year survival rate of individuals diagnosed with pancreatic cancer has been estimated at just below 5%. This can be attributed to the fact that pancreatic cancer often progresses stealthily and physical symptoms (jaundice, abdominal pain, and weight loss) do not present until the cancer is in its later stages. As a result, the best way of treating pancreatic cancer is to…

p-Phenacetin was Hydrochloric Acid, which completely dissociates in water due to it being a strong acid. During this reaction the Hydrochloric Acid proton pronated itself to the amino group in p-Phenetidine, thus giving the amino group a positive charge. Next, a small amount of decolorizing carbon was added to the solution and filtered. The decolorizing carbon caused the solution to turn a dark brown color. The decolorizing carbon absorbed the nonpolar molecules in the solution, that is, the…

He was able to find the charge of an electron with an experiment involving passing oil through an electrically charged plate with a hole in the center. Using this newfound charge and the determined mass-to-charge value of an electron, “you obtain an electron mass of 9.109 x 10-31 kg, which is more than 1800 times smaller that the lightest atom” (Ebbing and Gammon, 47)…
