Functional psychology

“Blond Indian” by Ernestine Hayes is a compelling recount of a biracial Alaskan Native girl and her academic and social standing within her community. She delves into the personal and educational facets of her life and writes of discrimination and prejudice shown toward her. Hayes beautifully crafts vivid imagery with her descriptive and alluring syntax, allowing the reader to fully immerse themselves in her narrative. Hayes touches upon several controversial topics in her narrative, particularly how socioeconomic status is denied to minority groups who don’t have functional literacy. Knoblauch dissected literacy into four components, as an ominous definition cannot be agreed upon. One component is functional literacy, the understanding…

INTRODUCTION Dyes exist in natural and synthetic forms in the world; they are used for the purpose of changing colors of different materials. William Perkins first discovered the azo dye on accident after adding alcohol to a product in the lab. They have the ability to do this due to the molecules of the dyes possessing conjugation. Conjugation is defined as p-orbitals overlapping which causes the electrons within to be delocalized; it is also seen in molecules and compounds that contain…

MYCOCEPT (Mycophenolate mofetil) is the 2-morholinoethyl ester of mycophenolic acid (MPA). CHEMICAL NAME: 2-morpholin-4-ylethyl (E)-6- (4-hydroxy-6-methoxy-7-methyl-3-oxo-1H-2-benzofuran-5-yl)-4-methylhex-4 enoate. STRUCTURAL FORMULA: Fig: Mycophenolate mofetil MOLECULAR WEIGHT: 433.50g/mol APPEARANCE: Mycophenolate mofetil, is a white to off-white crystalline powder. SOLUBILITY: It is slightly…

New ultraviolet (UV) curable prepolymer, 2–hydroxy–3–[p–(1–{2–hydroxy–3–(isopro– phenylcarbonyloxypropoxy) phenyl} methylcyclohexyl) phenoxy] propyl acrylate (BISCHDA) was synthesized by the reaction of p–[1–(p–hydroxyphenyl) methylcyclohexyl] phenol with methylcyclohexanone, epoxidation with epichlorohydrin followed by addition reaction with acrylic acid. All synthesized compounds were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. Several UV-curable formulated solutions were prepared…

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1. Introduction Caprolactam (CPL) is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)5C(O)NH. This colourless solid is a lactam or a cyclic amide of caproic acid. Caprolactam was first described in the late 1800s by Gabriel and Mass, when it was prepared by the cyclization of ε-aminocaproic acid, the product of the hydrolysis of caprolactam. In the months after Schlack’s discovery the first stocking were produced from Perlon. All the Perlon produced went to the war effort.…

detergents. By chelating the metals in hard water, it lets these cleaners produce foam and work better without need for water softening. Citric acid is the active ingredient in some bathroom and kitchen cleaning solutions. A solution with a 6% concentration of citric acid will remove hard water stains from glass without scrubbing. In industry, it is used to dissolve rust from steel. Citric acid can be used in shampoo to wash out wax and coloring from the hair. (3) 3. Cosmetics, pharmaceuticals,…

making it no longer an addition reaction, but an electrophilic substitution (Structure of Benzene, 2001). An electrophilic substitution consist of the aromatic compound that undergoes a substitution, which is generally the replacement of a hydrogen ion, with an electrophilic compound, which is a compound that is electron poor (Hunt, 2015). A pair of electrons from one of the double bonds in the aromatic grabs on to the electrophile to form a carbocation, resonance occurs, and then a hydrogen is…

There is also relationship between homelessness and regular literacy-even of adults who are not homeless, 1/7 are functionally illiterate(in the United States). What does this point to? According to the charitysub.org, this means that many adults cannot understand a basic food label or a child's grades. Additionally, it states that nearly one half (41 to 44 percent) of adults in the US that have a minimal level of literacy perform in low skill jobs.With this knowledge, how well would a person…

distillation due to the lack of time. ------------------------------------------------- Introduction Esters are compounds classified as derivatives of oxoacids and alcohols (IUPAC,1997), however for the purpose of this formal report, esters refer to derivatives of carboxylic acids or carboxylic acid esters. (Gunawardena, 2009) Esters have closely identical functional groups with carboxylic acids which include an acyl group bonded to an oxygen which is bonded to another molecule the…

In the IR spectrum, RM-10-1i, peaks that are present correspond to the functional groups in 6-ethoxycarbonyl-3,5-diphenyl-2-cyclohexenone. These functional groups are sp2 hybridized carbons at 3031 cm-1, sp3 hybridized carbons at 2981 cm-1, a carbonyl at 1735 cm-1, aromatic carbon-carbon stretching at 1660 cm-1, an ester carbon-oxygen stretching at 1144 cm-1, and alkene carbon-hydrogen stretching at 698 cm-1. There was no alcohol present in this spectra, indication that all of the catalyst was…
