Annually 225,000 deaths are attributed to iatrogenic diseases (Journal of Patient Safety). In Chapter 8 I will teach the one meal a day philosophy. Misinformation #2: Bread is healthy and good source of carbohydrates Bread is really good if it is unleavened just like the bread used during the time of Jesus Christ. It was not chemically and highly processed. It has high fiber. Fiber is a material found in barn. Our bread before was all whole wheat and it was healthy. Actually, fiber comes into…

Chalcopyrite is a copper iron sulfide mineral. Its coloring is metallic brassy to a brown-orange, and on the Mohs scale, it has a hardness of 3.5 to 4. The chemical formula of chalcopyrite is CuFeS2. It is the most commonly occurring copper containing mineral in New Zealand, but it is only created near volcanic areas. On the metaphysical level, chalcopyrite is used for meditation, specifically for opening the third eye chakra (crown chakra), and physical healing. The stone clears any energy…

Contrary to the title, the discovery of astatine was anything but a momentary process. Many scientists discovered different astatine isotopes, atoms with the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons, but were unable to either reproduce their results or keep the isotope in existence for any useful amount of time. After decades of possible discovery and rediscovery, astatine was officially included in the periodic table of elements with the abbreviation At and an atomic number of…

nickel alloy used as the negative lead of a thermocouple for measuring the CHT of a reciprocating. CHROMEL – an alloy of nickel and chromium used as the positive element in a thermocouple for measuring EGT. ALUMEL – an alloy if nickel, aluminum manganese and silicon that are the negative element in a thermocouple used to measure EGT. MECHANICAL TACHOMETER – used for small reciprocating engines is of the magnetic drag type. STOBOSCOPIC TACHOMETER – used to measure the speed of any rotating…

Industrialization in America could not have been achieved with a few key factors. Among these are the rich environment in America, a sympathetic and supportive government that remains deferential to private ownership, talented business leaders, railroads, and technology. The mineral deposits in the land as well as the presence of business visionaries like Andrew Carnegie were equally important in the overarching success of the American Industrial Revolution. Andrew Carnegie’s ability to…

Brussels sprouts: Nutritional facts and health benefits Brussels sprouts are leafy green small buds resembling a cabbage, but in a miniature form. They are full of nutrition. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, antioxidants, and dietary fibres. Brussels come from the Brassica family, along with cabbage, broccoli, kale, and collard greens. Brussels sprouts are winter crops growing well under light frosting and cool weather. Their height can be about as tall as 90 cm and being about 1…

[3] In the manufacturing of a pressure vessels, two different components like the cylindrical shell and the dome structure are casted and then joined by welding. In this process, the arc is submerged under the blanket of flux consisting of silica, manganese oxide or calcium fluoride which is fed into the weld zone through a hopper by a gravity fed controlled nozzle. The thick layer of flux covers the molten metal preventing the spatter and sparks to spread out as a result of which an insulation…

An abundant, as well as reliable, supply of natural resources was vital to their industrial revolution. According to historian David V. C. Browne, “huge deposits of coal, iron, lead, copper, manganese, petroleum, and timber existed on the continent” (Browne 56), this was an abundance of resources that were not present in Britain. Further, the USA possessed vast geographical area, and as the population moved west, more land and resources were acquired…

1. Which one of the following would make the most suitable catalyst in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)? A. Carbon dioxide (CO2) B. Sodium chloride (NaCl) C. Magnesium oxide (MgO) D. Manganese dioxide (MnO2) 2. If the temperature of a reaction is decreased, what effect will this have on the rate of reaction? A. It will have no effect. B. The reaction will stop. C. The rate of reaction will increase. D. The rate of reaction will decrease. 3. Given the equilibrium reaction in a closed…

Titanium bones are the implants that doctors use when a bone is broken to badly to heal naturally. The natural way for a bone to heal is in a cast and take time for the bone to heal but titanium implants help the bones that can not do that. Titanium is used in the body because it is lightweight, sturdy and it would last long because it is durable. Titanium bones have been worn away with time especially at the hip and elbow joints but scientist are working on a way for titanium bones to become a…
