of galaxies called the Local Group. Astronomers use different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation to measure celestial objects. Special telescopes are designed to measure different electromagnetic radiation, some include: radio telescopes, infrared telescopes, visible telescopes, and ultra violet telescope. Each type of telescope specializes in measuring different wavelengths of radiation, which is very helpful as different celestial objects emit different…
natural process whereby gases and clouds absorb infrared radiation emitted from the Earth’s surface and radiate it in all directions, which results extra heating of the atmosphere and the Earth’s surface. As the radiation from the Sun is absorbed by the Earth’s surface, the energy is converted to thermal energy. Then, the Earth emits lower-energy infrared radiation back out to the atmosphere and space. The Earth’s atmosphere and clouds trap this infrared energy and radiation directed from the…
The purpose of this lab was to perform reduction of ketones by reducing 4-t-butylcyclohexanone with sodium borohydride (NaBH4) to form 4-t-butylcyclohexanol. At the end of this experiment, the infrared spectroscopy was obtain for the final product, 4-t-butylcyclohexanol. The IR graph showed the presence of the desired product, and it also showed if the reaction went to completion or not. In addition, the mass of the final product was obtained to determine the percent yield. To a 5mL conical…
I manage the infrared sensor, optical and software subsystems worth $600M in support of SBIRS satellite production program, which is worth $6B. These advanced technological systems allow us to detect missiles from space. I balance cost, schedule, performance, and risk…
CHAPTER 4 RESULT AND DISCUSSION 4.1 Preparation of Bis-Thiourea Derivatives The mixture of heptanoyl chloride and ammonium thiocynate with 1,4-phenylene diamine appeared as homogeneous solution. White precipitate was formed immediately when the solution was filtered into the beaker containing ice cubes. Then, the precipitate was filtered again and rinsed by ethanol before being dried in the desiccator. The physical data of the synthesized bis-thiourea derivatives are shown in Table 4.1.…
Politics There a many current NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Association) missions taking place or being researched. For those who may not know exactly what NASA is, it is a government agency that was started by Congress in 1958. NASA’s main purpose is to explore space and aeronautics, or research about flight. There are four Exploration Missions taking place. One being DLRE (Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment), MER (Mars Exploration Rover- Opportunity), Mars Odyssey, and MRO (Mars…
Since its inception in the early 20th century, technology as made many advances in a variety of fields, such as: healthcare, law, education, and even criminal justice, but more specifically, law enforcement. The progression of technology has had many direct and indirect effects on the criminal justice system (Stojkovic, Kalinich, & Klofas, 2015), starting with the automobile, and then expanding into other innovations such as computers, database management software, and DNA analysis (Roberts…
Wishing you all a very happy birthday! especially, the ones who are born in the month of October. Now you would be thinking that why I am being so biased on wishing happy birthday specifically to the individuals who are born in the month of October. So, the reason behind this which strongly justifies the above given text is that tourmaline is considered to be the birthstone for the month of October. Probably, after reading the above line, you must be burst out laughing that how wearing a…
Therapy is used along with Physical Therapy or Chiropractic Care, it stimulates tissue repair and growth; thus, reducing a patient’s overall healing time, while decreasing pain levels. During a K-Laser Treatment, hard and soft tissues benefit from the infrared laser: Injured cells are targeted and the cytochrome oxidase enzymes within the mitochondria of these damaged cells are stimulated. Healthy cells do not accept these photons of light;…
Introduction Urban sprawl is the expansion of a city or its suburbs, especially the commercialization in rural areas including farmland or undeveloped lands, such as forests and open spaces. Urban sprawl can be caused by numerous factors including rapid population growth, rise of living standard, decrease of land rate, lack of urban planning, etc. Urban sprawl creates numerous problems that would decrease in environmental quality through wildlife habitat destruction, deforestation, wetlands, and…
