Doping

triumphant and the villain must be obliterated. Every story must be this way, and consequently, our lives must be this way. Even in today’s world there must be someone we are battling against, whether it's ISIS and their acts of terror or Russia and their doping scandal, there seems to always be a bad guy in today’s world. There must be someone to embody all this evil even in our small town lives - the bully at school, the police officer that gave you a ticket you did not deserve, your parents…

Table 3 shows the BET surface area of both the fresh and hydrothermally aged SCR catalysts. For fresh BEA zeolite and SCR catalysts, as the doping amount of catalytic additive increases, the BET surface area decreases, probably because the additive Cu, Ce, and Nb species blocked some of the zeolite channel, hindering the entry of N2 into the pores (Bin et al. 2014). After aging at 600 °C, all the samples showed 3-20 m2/g increased BET surface area. Aging condition of 600 °C is a relatively mild…

“Breaking news! the world’s fastest man on Earth, Lightening C failed to qualify for the men’s 100m sprint for the 2076 Olympics”. It was a shocking news, but on the other hand, it was kind of anticipated as there was astonishing discovery that became available since 2060, which is the genetic modification. Although it has not been the most common and trustworthy methods for having children due to its ethical reasons, some people still insisted on using the new genetic engineering system to…

Exercise Physiology It has long been thought that strenuous or prolonged exercise can affect the human’s endocrine system. This is an interesting scenario because endocrine system synthase performs as a negative feedback system. This means that when there is an unusually high level of a hormone in the blood, a signal will be sent back and production of that particular hormone will be stopped. The negative feedback system can easily keep all hormones levels at the optimal level for humans.…

For the synthesis of P2, a mixture of 1 (500 mg, 0.553 mmol), 2 (252 mg, 0.553 mmol), 3 (760 mg, 1.105 mmol), tris(o-tolyl)phosphine (P(o-tol)3) (13 mg, 0.044 mmol), and tris(dibenzylidene acetone)dipalladium(0) (Pd2(dba)3) (10 mg, 0.011 mmol) in anhydrous chlorobenzene (21 mL) was charged in a 100 mL round bottom flask. The resulting reaction mixture was heated at 150 °C under stirring for 3 days. Compound (2) (38 mg, 0.083 mmol) was added and stirred at 150 °C for 1 h. To that…

Abstract: We describe the successful synthesis of Polypyrrole-Gold nanocomposites (PPy-Au NCs) by the chemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole with ferric chloride as an oxidizing agent, in the presence of a colloidal suspension of gold nanoparticles. Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were synthesized by standard citrate reduction method. Au NPs and PPy-Au NCs were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Atomic Forced Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier…

The Olympics, when they began, were a fairly even match of who is better. Now the olympics is a game of who gets caught, and who doesn’t (“The Physiology…”). In 1999 the World Anti Doping Act ,WADA, was assigned to all drug testing in the olympics and began to make a drastic change (“The Physiology…”). Over 30 athletes have been removed from the Olympic games to to drug use (“The Physiology…”). These numbers sadly do not compare to…

In 1986, the Reagan Administration began recommending a drug testing program for employers as part of the War on Drugs program. The Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 required drug and alcohol testing of safety sensitive employees in aviation, trucking, railroads, mass transit, and pipelines. Private employers also saw the value of drug testing and instituted Drug-Free Workplace programs. Today, approximately 90% of Fortune 1000 companies and 62% of all employers in the United…

Picture someone you know winning an Olympic Gold Medal and a month later it being stripped from them for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. Performance-enhancing drugs (PED’s) have been around for centuries and used by many different sports and athletes. As the incentives grow bigger, athletes turn to PED’s more for helping them strive to be the absolute best at their position. In recent years more athletes have been suspended for the use of PED’s; from college to the pros,…
