Decomposition

vampires began far before Dracula and Twilight. It’s origins were from Slavic folklore, and the first written accounts of the word began in the 11th century.The origin of vampires is actually kind of silly looking at it now. During the process of decomposition, gases would rise up and swell the body, as well as trickling blood running from the mouth would make a corpse look like it had recently just been alive and feeding (ted-ed). You could say that the first big surge that pushed the vampire…

Abstract: The enzyme called catalysis breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. In this lab we conducted a series of experiment to find the effect of concentration of substrate and the temperature of catalase enzyme. Introduction: There are a lot of factors that can affect the rate of enzyme reaction such as the concentration of the substrate, temperature of the enzyme, and shape of the enzyme. In this experiment we only measure how the concentration of the substrate and temperature…

Stewart Negron At this point in time, the world has reached a point of no return climatically and the impacts of “Global Warming” are inevitable. Given current atmospheric research, climate change is proven to be a true, unnatural feedback caused by human activity. Due to the medias selective exposure of climate change information, specifically of the skeptic views of the topic, society has not grasped global warming as a current and vital issue. Additionally, the refusal to join climate…

Poe’s life. Heavily influenced by the German Romantic ironists, Edgar Allan Poe made a firm mark in Gothic fiction especially through the tales of the macabre, which made him one of the most celebrated of all American authors. Gruesome, death, decomposition, premature burial, sorrow of losses, coming back from the dead are all elements of macabre found in The Raven and The Fall of the House of Usher and sadly also in his life’s…

IONIC LIQUIDS Introduction:- Ionic liquids are actually salts that are liquid in state, normally referred to compounds that have melting point below an arbitrary temperature i.e. 100° C. Unlike some other ordinary liquids like water and gasoline, that are composed of neutral species while ionic liquids are composed of ionic species and ionic intermediates commonly known as “ionic fluids” and “liquid electrolytes”. In ionic liquids there is a species that has a delocalized species and the other…

Mary Roach's nonfiction book, Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, humorously outlines the ways the human cadaver has served the living since the ancient Egyptians. The acceptance of death is difficult to accept, but Roach's book Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers manages to subjectively objectify the horrid experience of dying. Despite being nonfiction, Roach writes in a very opinionated tone that lightens the subject and makes her book a compelling and easy read as it describes…

Tanveer Talokder E1 What is explanation for the Bermuda Triangle Electronic Fog? The Bermuda Triangle is a region of the north-western Atlantic Ocean, which is also known as the Devil’s Triangle. Its three vertices are located at Miami, Puerto Rico and Bermuda, according to Gaddis, V. (1964). A number of aircrafts and ships have disappeared mysteriously in this region. A lot of theories have been suggested, in order to solve those mysterious disappearances. One famous incident involving the…

Abstract: Catalase is an iron porphyrin enzyme present in high concentrations in humans and animals liver tissues. It is a peroxisomal enzyme that is responsible for destruction of toxic H2O2 released during certain metabolic processes.The activity of catalase can be determined by measuring the decrease in H2O2 concentration which is the substrate. Introduction: An enzyme is a large protein that acts as a biological catalyst which changes the rate of a reaction. It provides an active site…

Introduction In this experiment, we mixed different amounts of reactants and measured the volume of O2 they produced so that we could determine the rate and order of the reaction. Three trials were done, the first trial acted as a baseline, then the following two trials each varied the concentration of a single reactant, allowing us to calculate the order of the reaction. Additionally, the temperature of the solution was changed to see what effect that would have on the rate. Using this…

New method of synthesis of oligoetherols with carbazole ring Renata Lubczak Abstract: The new method of synthesis of multifuntional oligoetherols with carbazole ring suitable for obtaining the polyurethane foams of enhanced thermal resistance was presented. At the first step of the synthesis the carbazole was reacted with excess glycidol to obtain the product of (n +1) functionality, where n is number of equivalents of glycidol reacted with carbazole. Carbazole reacts with glycidol without…
