Fifty years ago, in addition to his "all-season" fishing gear, the only tool an ice fisherman required for some ice fishing fun was an axe to chop through the ice. Today things have advanced considerably. While there is a multitude of equipment out there claiming to be a necessity, most of it is unnecessary. The basic gear listed here may also not be completely necessary, but it can make your fishing a little more enjoyable and maybe even help you catch a few more fish. Dressing properly seems…

It was my first year in an AP art class. I didn’t know what to expect. The first assignment was to research ten artists and write about them. Essays in art class? I had never researched like this in art class. I had never expanded my knowledge of art beyond the fact that I can draw a pretty picture and I can photograph flowers at interesting angles. So basically I was still picturing an elementary school style art class, with a mother hen for my teacher, holding my hand along the way, directing…

How women can get rid of polycystic ovary syndrome??? Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder in which the levels of a woman’s sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone) are not in proper balance. This affects menstrual cycle and result in infertility among women dealing with this condition. This syndrome can also cause unwanted changes in physical appearance. In the event of lack of treatment, it can cause severe health issues, like heart disease and diabetes with the passage of…

“Just because something doesn’t do what you planned it to do doesn’t mean it’s useless.” (Thomas Edison) When most people think of the word nuclear it brings thoughts of pollution, sickness, and danger. Nuclear power is so often generalized into something it’s not. Nuclear power provides energy to millions of people throughout the world. It is the driving force behind everyday lives. Along with the benefits, many drawbacks are also present. Nuclear power reminds many of disasters such as…

Phosphorus: General: Phosphorus is one of chemical elements of periodic table with atomic number 15 and atomic mass 30.9738 g/mol. Phosphorus is one of members of polyvalent non-metal of Nitrogen group and can be found in nature as some different allotropic format. Phosphorus can not be found free in nature since it’s so reactive and while it’s isolated and pure, it is clear and almost transparent. Phosphorus can be found in three common forms as white, red and black which their particular…

there is. For example, other forms of carbon are; Graphite, carbon nanotubes and charcoal. Structure; Each atom has four bonds, one sigma bond with each of its three surrounding areas and one pi bond that is oriented out of plane. The atoms are about 1.42 Å (Ångström) apart. Graphene's hexagonal lattice can be regarded as two interleaving triangular lattices. This perspective was successfully used to calculate the band structure for a single graphite layer using a tight-binding…

important discovery to cluster science because it made refractory clusters available for detailed study for the first time.2 Smalley initially used this technique to analyze the molecular structure of SiC2, but Kroto decided to replace the SiC2 with graphite.2 He believed this technique…

Conductivity was then tested with the solutions remaining in the beakers. A Go! Link by Vernier Software & Technology was utilized to connect the conductivity probe to Logger Pro in order to view real-time conductivity values. The electrode (epoxy-body graphite) end of the probe was first neutralized in a beaker of distilled water, and then placed in the solution of the unknown. When the unknown’s conductivity was measured, the probe was again placed in distilled water, and once again repeated…

The Beginning of Rosalind Franklin Rosalind Franklin was a female chemist and physician (X-Ray Crystallographer). She helped the world understand the molecular structures of viruses, DNA, Graphite, Coal, and RNA. She was born July 25, 1920 in Notting Hill, London. She had a very large family with four siblings, and her family was able to take care of themselves. They were also highly involved in public social works. Then however, in the year of 1958 Rosalind’s life had come to an end. She died…

creating a huge nucular chain reaction. This would be done by using uranium. This would cause lots of damage to a city that was targeted by an Atomic bomb. The First chain reaction took place in Chicago. This was done by Enrico Fermi. He stacked graphite blocks and uranium in a small circular pile and created a nucular chain reaction. Shortly there after the president said yes to the building and creating the atomic bomb.…
