Title Determining the Empirical Formula of Magnesium Oxide Introduction Chemical formulas imply the arrangement of compounds. Empirical formulas are the simplest whole number ratio of the elements present in a compound (Owen, 2014). However, the actual amount of each type of atom that a compound is consisted of is called the molecular formula. For that reason, the deduction of the empirical formula and the molar mass of a compound is required to determine the molecular formula of the compound.…

Preterm delivery is a terrible problem that plagues the United States, as well as many other countries worldwide. Preterm delivery of infants remains one of the most intractable problems that contributes to perinatal morbidity and mortality (Slattery & Morrison, 2002). This issue contributes to a large amount of cost towards the health industry. The definition of preterm delivery is, “…those [deliveries] that occur at less than 37 weeks’ gestational age; however, the low-gestational…

Hypocalcemia, Infant Hypocalcemia means the calcium level in the blood is low. Calcium is a mineral in the body that is important for the function of: • Heart and muscle. • Cells. • Nerves. • Bone structure. • Blood clotting. There are 2 kinds of hypocalcemia in infants: • Early hypocalcemia happens in the first few days of life. This early type is usually a temporary problem that is easily treated. • Late hypocalcemia shows up after the first few days of life. CAUSES Early…

According to the World Health Organization (2012), 1 in 10 babies around the world are born prematurely. This equates to more than 15 million preterm births worldwide each year. Many of these babies will require special care to just stay alive (WHO, 2012). This means that many of these babies will experience some care in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) depending on gestational age and other clinical conditions. Lenclen and Carbajal (2007) found that an infant may have as many as 115…

Roosevelt founded this organization when he had a personal encounter with polio. The foundation soon became known as the March of Dimes when they turned their focus to birth defects and prematurity in children. March of Dimes has been…

Strength and Workability of Magnesium Silicate Hydrate Binder System H.M. Tran, A. Scott Abstract—The novel binder system of magnesium silicate hydrate has the advantage of low-CO2 production and potential use for structures and nuclear waste immobilisation. This paper discusses the experimental study to optimize proportions of cement paste and mortar for compressive strength and workability using magnesium silicate hydrate system. Binary systems containing magnesium oxide and amorphous silica…
