Global use: Since the invention and initial use of the pacemaker in early 1960’s, the pacemaker has pumped life into millions of people up to this day and continues to prolong the lives of many. Majority of its uses today are mostly in the following situations: -Ageing or heart disease which damages sinus node’s ability to set correct pace for heartbeat. The damage cause abnormal heartbeats or long pauses between breathes. - Slow/Fast heartbeat symptoms - Heart muscle problems There are also…
people say that they would give up their privacy and freedoms to be protected from terrorist attacks. I know some people might think that airport security is a little bit much but really all of it is for a reason. The reason we go through the metal detectors is to make sure that we don’t have anything dangerous with you that could injure anyone. We have to put our bags through the infrared camera so they can check and make sure you don’t have anything threatening in your luggage. It’s always…
Identification: identification of compounds by HPLC is a crucial part of any HPLC assay. In order to identify any compound by HPLC a detector must first be selected. Identifying a compound by HPLC is accomplished by researching the literature and by trial and error. A sample of known compound must be utilized in order to assure identification of the unknown compound. Identification of…
Particle Deformation and Fragmentation: As compaction force increases, contact area between particles increases, particle deformation starts to occur. Elastic deformation: granules attempt to return to their original shape or form after stress is released. Plastic deformation: granules do not totally recover after stress is released. Fragmentation occurs when compaction force continues to increase Particles fracture, create multiple new surface sites, additional contact points and potential…
1.8.2 Rational Choice Theory This theory will be important in explaining the behaviour and thinking of terrorists, terrorist groups and even government leadership as they attempt to tackle terrorist threats. The Rational Choice Theory is a theory based on the notion that man is a reasoning being who weighs the costs and benefits of choices and therefore makes decisions based on rational calculations (Business Dictionary, 2013). Terrorists, despite being considered by many to be inhumane and…
randomly or coming out of a tested radioactive substance outside the detector tube, the radiation enters the gap on the end of the tube. When the radioactive nuclei and the inert gas molecules(this is found in the tube) bump into each other it causes ionization, some of the gas molecules are turned into positive ions and electrons, the positive ions are attracted to the outside of the tube. The electrons are attracted to a metal wire running down the inside of the tube maintained at a high…
Life, Death, and Effects of 9/11 September 11th, 2001. The 9/11 suicide bombings led to a series of changes throughout history. The bombings targeted symbolic U.S trade marks, the North and South twin towers. 19 Al-Qaeda members hijacked a plane, within 42 minutes, two 110 story buildings were demolished. There are many short term, and long term effects to this catastrophic attack such as: Tourism, airport security, and worst of all, ongoing wars. An example of a short term effect would be…
Field Work Complete, Analysis Begins. Well over two years ago, preparations for a project to identify a heroic but largely forgotten engagement outside the community of Lexington, Massachusetts began. During the preparation and daily methodical work both in the archives and in the field a partnership would be forged which would place Minute Man National Historical Park on the frontline of research for the 21st century. Park service archaeologists would join in the effort of park management,…
September 11, 2001: the deadliest day in United States history. On this day, four airlines were hijacked to carry out suicide attacks against the United States. Osama Bin Laden founded Al-Qaeda, a global militant Sunni Islamist organization. The 19 hijackers were members of this organization founded to sacrifice themselves in order to kill others. Four airplanes crashed between 8:46am and 10:28am. Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon in Virginia. Minutes later Flight 93 was misdirected from the…
Circular Dichroism (CD) fundamentals. CD is defined as the difference between absorptions of left (Al) and right (Ar) circularly polarized light beams, CD=Al-Ar For each absorption band, the CD of two enantiomers are always exactly opposite. Theory. For each electronic transition one can define an electric (µij≠0) and a magnetic (mij≠0) transition dipole. Both can lead to absorption of radiation, the intensity of which is directly related to the oscillator strength f, fij≈| µij |2+ | mij |2 In…
