There are two basic types of fireworks that form the big displays in the sky: firecrackers and sparklers. They are made in different ways. Firecrackers are rolled paper tubes that are filled with gunpowder called black powder or a fuse and flash paper. As you light the fuse, fire burns along the fuse and when it reaches the powder there is a loud explosion. Sparklers, though, make colorful, long lasting light. They contain more ingredients which means they burn longer and produce a light and…

The iodine will react with the amylose resulting in color changes. If the contents mixed in the test are positive for starch, then the color will change from an orange/yellow to a blue/black. A precipitate will also form when starch is present (Areda, 2017)…

individual colonies for additional analysis by using a sterile loop to streak the bacterial samples into TSA for incubation. Next is the Gram Staining step to determine the morphology and Gram of the species using Crystal Violet for 1 minute, Gram iodine for 1 minute, 95% ethyl alcohol for 10-30 seconds, and Safranin for 1 minute, and then when you take a sample, examine it under a microscope. Next use MSA and Blood Agar. Use a loop to streak the sample onto agar plates and incubate. Then use…

The kinetics of the reaction between peroxomonosulphate with Lactic acid was studied in the presence of Mn(II) at alkaline pH. The reaction followed first order with respect to peroxomonosulphate. The rate of the reaction was studied under pseudo first order condition and found to increases with the [Mn(II)] and lactic acid. Thermodynamic parameters were calculated and reported. Based on the results a rate equation, kinetic scheme and a most probable mechanism has been predicted. Keywords: Alpha…

Before the discovery of Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre and William Henry Fox Talbot, the images created with the use of camera obscura were fleeting and unstable. Many worked toward making the images permanent and lasting. So, when in 1838 Daguerre announced to the world his process allowing to preserve the captured images, the world went wild. The world was already changing. The Renaissance scientific and intellectual revolution sought to move away from idealized images of the spiritual world.…

There are many factors in malnutrition in third world countries. Some of the factors that contribute in malnutrition are: lack of knowledge, poverty, unstable governments, war, health services, and inadequate diets. These factors are very important and are the main reasons for malnutrition in these countries. Most of the nutrient problems occur while they are younger because they cannot care for themselves. There are ways that are being addressed to help solve these problem through organizations…

Lenvatinib is especially proficient in treating medullary thyroid cancer, and is used as an alternative to RAI. In a phase III clinical trial, patients were only eligible if an imaging scan showed traces of at least one lesion that did not take up iodine from RAI. Lenvatinib is also an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which can directly inhibit the function of PET, RAF, and certain VEGF receptors. Inhibition of these specific kinase-dependent pathways can disrupt the cancerous pathway by…

But then why do we still use it? I would say that it’s because we haven’t found anything that works better. Radioisotopes (so as cesium-137, Iodine-131, strontium-89, samarium-153, radium-223, copper-67) that cures cancer does this that they are given by mouth as a drink or capsules, or injected into a vein, then what happens is that the cells absorbs the radioisotope and cancer cells absorbs…

I am analyzing the diet of 60 year old male who has the diagnoses of heart disease (irregular heart beats), he is overweight and accompanied by arthritis. He comes from a Guyanese background and prefers his bigger meals to represent his culture. Heart disease is an umbrella term for any type of disorder that affects the heart. The individual has tachycardia and is caused by something that disrupts the normal electrical impulses that control the rate of your heart 's pumping action. Fibre,…
