I remember my freshman year in college. I completed an assignment and when the paper was returned there was the grade standing in my face...Capitalized, Bold in Red. I made a C. I called my Uncle Sonny and I cried. The funny thing is he was not sympathetic to me what so ever. This guy, my uncle on the other end of the phone, with his baritone voice, aggressively said, "Welcome to the World baby girl... 'Ain 't it Shit. '" I never saw the world of education the same any more after that day. I…
1- Introduction Benzosuberone based compounds are important classes of biologically active compounds that attracted a great deal of interest in the medicinal chemistry due to their potent biological activities and wide range of pharmaceutical applications [1-6]. Several publications recorded that some of benzosuberone derivatives possess antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiulcer and antitumor activities [1-6]. As an indication for the importance of the benzosuberone based…
Plastics (Phenolic resins, Epoxy resins, Polyesters and Polyurethanes) are materials which make up the objects which we use in our everyday lives such as phones, cars, cooking utensils, computers and shoes, (http://www.slideshare.net). Plastics are a group of material which can either be synthetic or naturally occurring. Plastics are considered as polymers a substance which has a molecular structure with a large number of units bonded together, (http://www.chemheritage.org). Most plastics are…
Task-5 a) • Metals Metal structure is made up of crystals of metals which are made up of positive metal ions and these ions are surrounded by a sea of delocalized electrons. To separate these substances from this crystal lattice a lot of energy is needed. In between the positive and negative ions is present a strong electrostatic force of attraction. That is the reason why metals have strong melting and boiling points. In order to slide one layer of the metal ions over the other layer very less…
odor and a black-currant aroma quality showed the highest flavor dilution-factors (FD). 5 compunds were identified for the first time in guava fruit (3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone, 3- sulfanyl-1-hexanol, 3-sulfanylhexyl acetate, trans-4,5-epoxy-(E)-2-decenal and…
Pest Control Fort Worth In the fall, insects and rodents are looking for a warm shelter for the winter, and homes provide an inviting place with food, water, and warmth. Termites and ants will invade a home and burrow into the wood, creating tunnels through the framework and support beams. The damage can be devastating, and the cost of repair excessive - when repair is possible at all. Scheduling professional pest control in Fort Worth can take control of invading pests, and prevent additional…
Characterizing the IR Reflecting Properties of Pigments for Cool Roofs Introduction The sun energy reaches earth as UV visible and Infra-red radiation. UV radiation is an invisible part of electromagnetic spectrum. Only 5 % UV from sun reached the surface is play the major role to the degradation of coating .Visible light wave (295-400 nm) seen by human eyes. Around 50% of the suns energy occurs in this region which gives the perception of colour.45 % of total solar energy is in IR region…
3. Results and discussion 3.1. Grafting of CNT on the ramie fabric The schematic representation for the mechanism of ramie fiber surface treatments is shown in Fig. 2. For the alkali treatment of ramie fiber, the NaOH reacts with the hydroxyl groups of the ramie fiber as shown in Fig. 2(a). During silane treatment, the hydrolysis of silane takes place initially (Fig. 2(b)) which then reacts with the active hydroxyl functionalities in ramie fiber (Fig. 2(c)). Each silane molecule has three…
and major components. Long chain fatty acids are formed from small precursors which are obtained from photosynthetic. Some plants can produce extraordinary fatty acids in their seeds oil many of which are used in industrial applications. For example epoxy fatty acids , cyclopropane fatty acids, conjugated unsaturated fatty acids. • Biosynthesis of fatty acids in humans: Synthesis of fatty acids is important , constitution of fatty acid in diet is essential as it is associated with major diseases…
Hughes H-4 Hercules, commonly known as the “Flying Boat” or “spruce goose” was, and still is, the largest wooden aircraft ever designed and flown5. It holds the record for having the biggest wing with a span of 320 feet, which could cover an entire football field2. Henry Fraiser was the man who first proposed the idea of the enormous flying boat based on the demand for a transport plane to support the activities of the US military during World War 24. Frasier approached the famous aircraft…
