storing data permanently while allowing certain operations to occur up to a thousand times faster than today’s memory devices. So this new approach may be more energy efficient.Their findings provided new insights into the experimental technology of phase-change memory. October- A new study says that human-induced climate change has doubled the area affected by forest fires in the U.S. West over the last 30 years. According to the study, since 1984…

A novel solid-phase synthesis methodology of N-substituted-2-aminothiazolo[4,5-b]pyrazine derivatives was developed. The key step in this synthesis strategy is tandem reaction of isothiocyanate terminated resin 2 with o-halo-2-aminopyrazine, affording cyclized 2-aminothiazolo[4,5-b]pyrazine resin 4. To increase the diversity of our library, Suzuki coupling reaction was performed at the position C6. Further functionalization of 2-aminothiazolo[4,5-b]pyrazine core skeleton with various…

Summary Andrew Mason founded Groupon in 2006. Based on an idea popularized by Malcolm Gladwell, Mason thought that if consumers could come together as a group they would have more purchasing power to get better deals... Originally named ThePoint, Mason tried to get users to raise money for various causes. The Point could be used for anything “from boycotting a multinational company to getting 20% off a subscription to The Economist”(11-2). To reach its full potential ThePoint would need to…

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! I look at my alarm, it’s 7:00AM. I fall out of bed, furiously brushing my teeth, throw some clothes on, and run out the door to catch the bus. This was my routine every morning. Waking up at 6:45 AM, eating breakfast, showering, and then rushing down to the same bus stop, hopefully, to make the 7:42 AM bus. I heavily relied on the bus my freshman and sophomore years of high school. My parents were always preoccupied, getting my younger brother and sister ready for school and…

“Every living thing on the surface of the planet has a system to synchronize [itself] with day and night” (Barone 8). Sleep is a natural part of life and most people, at some point in their life, experiences difficulty sleeping. Today, however, sleep disruption is becoming a more prominent issue due to the rising number of electronic devices. Because of the blue light illuminance these devices produce, the brain’s secretion of the sleep-inducing chemical melatonin is disrupted; therefore,…

One is called the, phototherapy or another name is light therapy. This therapy is effective towards individuals whose sleeping problems are due to the delayed sleep phase syndrome. Individuals with the delayed sleep phase syndrome have issues with their brain’s sleep cycle. These individuals usually have a harder time falling asleep until it’s late at night, and then they wake up later the next morning than they wished. Phototherapy consists…

Harmonics: Harmonic distortions are injected at the generation as well as the consumer end. At the consumer end, harmonics are caused by nonlinear loads such as PCs, CFLs, electronic devices, etc. The harmonics distortion caused by non-linear load such as electric arc furnaces, large concentrations of arc discharge lamps, variable speed motors, saturation of magnetization of transformer and a distorted line current. The current generated by such loads will interact with power system impedance…

place for adolescents instead of being a resting place. Other causes are excessive caffeine- containing drinks, socializing at night on phones, or various worries due to school (Stores, 2009, p. 52). Delayed sleep phase disorder is normal in patients. "Prevalence of delayed sleep phase is a type in the general population is approximately 0.17% but appears to be greater than 7% in adolescents" (APA, 2013, p. 391). The course is persistent and has to last longer than three months and…

Observation 3 Often, a college preparation process can mean acquiring many material things. Generally, how you go about preparing depends on whether a student plan to attend a technical school, community college or a four year university. The supplies needed may change depending on what higher education institution one pursues. When leaving for college, students want any and everything that they can get for their dorm or apartment. Most students don’t look at what is a needed, but more about…

Sleep is something all humans need to survive, yet many suffer from the chronic, life altering enemy, insomnia at some point during their life. According to the Sleep Management Institute, (2010) it has been “estimated 30%-50% of the general population is affected by insomnia, and 10% have chronic insomnia.” It is an unfortunate realization that insomnia affects females more frequently than men, and for those 60 years and older, it can pose an even greater danger to health, and rob the…
