Linus Pauling

Linus Benedict Torvalds is a Finnish software engineer who is the creator and, for a long time, principal developer, of the Linux kernel, which became the kernel for operating systems such as GNU and years later Android and Chrome OS. Hes work in Linux has made it a very legitmate operating system. Torvalds was born in Helsinki, Finland. He is the son of journalists Anna and Nils Torvalds, and the grandson of statistician Leo Törnqvist and of poet Ole Torvalds. Both of his parents were campus…

showing models of DNA that were eventually discarded. This essay will look at three of these initially proposed structures. The three structures that will be explored are the Mg++ Ion Structure developed by Watson and Crick, the Pauling-Corey Structure developed by Pauling and Corey and the Fraser Structure developed…

deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) utilizing theoretical chemistry and borrowed X-ray crystallography images. They postulated that the structure of DNA contained two helical chains that run in opposite directions of one another. They also stated, in contrast to Linus Pauling’s structure, that due to the repulsive forces between the negatively charged phosphate groups the nitrogenous bases would be located on the inside and the phosphate substituents on the outside (Crick). This monumental discovery…

curiosity. Some people say a government should not pay large about of many for space industry, there are a lot of field to pay include welfare, poverty and so on. However, Dr. Linus Pauling, who was American chemist, said “Satisfaction of one’s curiosity in one of the greatest sources of happiness in life.” As Dr. Pauling said, curiosity is important factor for our life. Then the field of aerospace engineering has possibility that it could inspire many people’s curiosity. Therefore, the reason…

Wilkins(bottom photos) worked on tried to piece together the structure of DNA through pictures that were taken through x-ray crystallography, using the fractured light to make sense of the whole thing. Watson and Crick on the other hand went for the Linus…

The story of Rosalind Franklin not only emphasizes the important role od women in the field of science, it also discusses the challenges and obstacles that woman of science faced and continue to face. Although Watson and Crick worked to study the structure of DNA, they would not have been able to complete their research without the Photo 51; a photo stolen from Rosalind Franklin. Although Franklin was so integral to the discovery of the structure of DNA and her work was stolen from her, she was…

Who discovered it? The molecular clock was first discovered by Emile Zuckerkandl and Linus Pauling. When was it discovered? 1962 Q4: What are archaeological digs”? Notes to Q4: What are “? What is an archaeological dig? It is an area which is slowly, carefully and methodically excavated under careful eye of one or more archaeologists. Their…

The race began in the spring of 1951 for Watson, yet he was not the only player in this game. Watson names Maurice Wilkins, Rosalind Franklin, Linus Pauling, Francis Crick, and himself as the primary contestants in the race, yet in 1962 only three made it to the finish: The Nobel Prize (Watson 4, Elkin 42). Through the long process of finding the structure of DNA, each of the scientists named contributed…

Discussion Overall, the method created for the determination of riboflavin via fluorescence has potential to provide useful information regarding the starting concentration of riboflavin as well as the consumption rate of the vitamin in media, when analyzed at different activation times. The decrease in riboflavin over time makes sense as the bacteria and archaea in the media use the vitamin as a cofactor in the digestion of cellulose as well as with other sugars and fats. (2) The The LOD and…

It is no secret that recollections of historical events tend to be more romanticized than they may have actually occurred. Individual people commit this action on a daily basis when reminiscing upon an experience from the past. “In hindsight, people are often quick to invent explanations for unknown behaviors” (Burkus 27). This act of glamorizing personal memories is known as confabulation. In the second chapter of his book, David Burkus introduces what he calls the “Eureka Myth.” Burkus…
