Chemical castration

The Rate of Chemical Reaction and the Factors Affecting Reaction Rates The purpose of these labs is to investigate and determine how three factors- concentration, temperature, and a catalyst- affect the rate of a chemical reaction. In the first lab, “Rate of Chemical Reaction,” 1 x 8-well micro strips were used to combine a potassium iodate solution and a sodium meta-bisulfite solution under different conditions; each trial was timed from the point of the first visible reaction until the last…

George S. McGovern once said “I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.” McGovern is stating that the “old men”, the government use the young men of a specific country to fight the wars they initiate. War is most of the time seen as a sense of pride and tribute for one’s country, but many don’t realize the savagery battlefields hold. Just like George McGovern, the poet, Wilfred Owen, who was a soldier in World War One and died in that Great War wrote many…

Peace is one of the most important concepts that many people around the world long for. However, during World War I, propaganda in Britain and other countries meant that many soldiers were ecstatic to join the war and serve their countries. After gaining first-hand experience himself, Wilfred Owen’s “Disabled” exposes the calamity of war, by contrasting a generic disabled soldier who is young and naive before the Great War, when he was “whole”, and after losing his legs (and possibly arms) in…

Throughout history, few conflicts have been that horrific like the First World War. Being one of its combatants, the English poet Wilfred Owen was one of the first to question military propaganda which defended the old Latin proverb: “Dulce et decorum est, pro patria mori”; meaning ‘it is sweet and glorious to die for one’s country’. With nothing else than words, he created a distinguished and innovative masterpiece that condemned the grandeur of war by picturing how cruel and deranged the…

1. Is mercury an appropriate target for AGI? Why or why not? Please clearly cite examples for your reasons. (10 points) There are many reasons that mercury is an appropriate target for AGI. • Both companies are in the same industry of footwear products. • First off the two companies have differentiating strategies and markets that they sell to. AGI will be adding a new market to their company goals and increasing their revenue streams. • AGI strives in the casual footwear segment with a…

Subject: Science Concept: Solid, liquid, or gas Sunshine State Standards/Access Points/Common Core: SC.2.P.8.2- Identify objects as solid, liquid, or gas. Primary Instructional Objectives: - Students will be able to identify what the difference is between a solid, liquid, and gas. - Students will be able to identify examples of solids, liquids, and gasses. - Students will be able to sort objects by whether they are solid, liquid, or gas. - Students will be able to define matter and where you…

The 'Wingate Cycle Ergometer Test' is an anaerobic test that is performed on a cycle ergometer. Eg. Monark. (Vandewalle et al. 1987). The aim of our test is to measure Peak Power Output(PPO), Relative Peak Power Output(RPP), Fatigue Index(FI) and Anaerobic Capacity(AC) throughout the Wingate Anaerobic Test. For both our participants we will compare our findings and provide an explanation for the similarities/differences we encounter between the two. Peak Power Output is the highest power output…

Result and discussion: Substrate specificity The substrate specificity for the PPO is represented in table. The Km values for catechol, L-DOPA, L-tyrosine, and p-Cresol are 4.12 × 10-3, 16.4 × 10-3, 6.12 × 10-3, and 5.01 × 10-3, respectively. Catechol was the best suited substrate, having the lowest Km value and highest Vmax value when compared to other 3 substrates (Table 1). Table 1: Substrate specificity of PPO enzyme Substrates Specific activity (units mg-1 protein) Km (µM) Vmax (abs min-1)…

Question: Does a higher voltage lead to more mass on graphite? INTRODUCTION Hypothesis: Higher voltage leads to more mass amassed on graphite electrode. Electrolysis- the process in which electric current passes through a solution to effect a chemical change. In this case there is copper, copper sulphate and graphite. In a electrolysis there is an electrolyte which is the copper sulphate, the anode which is the graphite. This is the positively charged electrode. Graphite is usually used in…

OBJECTIVE For the first week of the lab, the objectives were to isolate and test for the presence of major components of milk, including proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals and to determine the presence of the various components of milk in the various fractions using qualitative tests for these substances. For the second week of the lab, the there were three objectives that related to the procedure: to determine the calcium concentration of milk using the technique of…
