What was once a prosperous city due to the automobile industry is now left poverty stricken.After this, the city was forced…

Question#1 “Signal words are a single word used to place emphasis on the relative level of hazard and alert the reader to a potential hazard they may encounter” (Haight, 2012, p. 114). The signal words used are danger, warning, caution, and notice. Danger “Danger indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury” (Haight, 2012, p. 114).

As an essential factor to sustain life and the ultimate protector within numerous industries, the element zinc exists as a crucial factor within the world’s scientific realm. This bluish-white, lustrous metal was previously used in various industrial alloys and for medicinal purposes as early as 2,500 years ago by the Romans and Palestinians (“Zinc,” 2016). Greater rates of zinc production then began in India during the 13th century by heating mineral calamine with wool, yet no reference to it…

Have you ever wondered why soda corrodes metals such as pennies, nails, etc.? How does it corrode them? One of the questions is if the soda does corrode the pennies how long will it take and why does it do it. It will take five days to fully corrode the pennies back to their shiny state, and will make them look brand new though they are probably a few years old. This test could get people to stop drinking soda which would lessen the risk of type 2 diabetes that can be caused by being overweight.…

In fourteenth-century England, Geoffrey Chaucer’s publication of The Canterbury Tales critiques the Catholic Church through the religious figures depicted in the poem who digress from their religious duties.

Noted, the…

Steel plate has become widely used in the construction and manufacturing industries, and projects cannot exist without it. What many people fail to realize is how not all steel plate has been created equal. In fact, a lot of steel plate grades have unique traits that will make them better for more specific applications. For example, structural steel grade A514 T-1 has been designed so that it has been heat treated. That means that you have higher strength capabilities, and it will weld better.…

Zinc comes in a phase of a solid with blueish-white color that exhibits a shiny luster and are neither ductile or malleable at room temperature unless the metal is being heated. One of the most important quality of zinc is its ability to resist corrosion and protect other metals. Other noticeable property of zinc is its electrical conductor ability that will conduct with dilute acids to release hydrogen. In order to prevent people from counterfeiting the coin, the coin itself needs to have a…
