As shown in Figure 1 (“Interactive Student Tutorial”) above water turns into a gas at 100 degrees Celsius. At 0 degrees Celsius and below it becomes a solid. This diagram makes it easy to see that the energy needed (temperature) to change phases greatly increases] Molality Molality is the number of Moles of solute divided by kilograms of solvent (Tutapoint…

I will be writing a response to the poem “In Black Earth, Wisconsin” by Andrea Musher. I think that this poem is about a family that suffered a loss and they are trying to move on. Topics I will discuss are the feelings this poem brought out in me, things that questioned and puzzled me in this poem, who the speaker is, and what this poem is trying to say. The feelings this poem brought out in me were sad, curious, and scared. I felt sad because in the poem someone passed away. This is sad…

Paracetamol is one of the world’s most beneficial and resourceful analgesic and is widely used in present day.

Prostaglandins cause pain and inflammation to peripheral and central points in the nervous system2. Paracetamol, or Acetaminophen is created by the synthesis and…

The Chinese used charcoal as a fuel by cooking wood. As an oxidizer, they used potassium nitrate from decayed animal manure, and sulfur was found in volcanic regions. These ingredients combined took form of a black powder. When it is lit in a confined space, most of the powder burns. As a result, hot gas and heat are released into the air under…

going on the trip. The wet plate camera, also known as the wet collodion process, was an early photographic technique invented by Englishman Frederick Scott Archer in 1851. The process involved adding a soluble iodide to collodion- or cellulose nitrate- and coating a glass plate with the mixture. After being submerged in a silver iodine solution in a dark room it was then exposed in the camera and developed by pouring pyrogallic acid over it and fixed using a strong solution of sodium…

In the majority of cases, the dysfunction continues to present problems both in terms of diagnosis as well as treatment. Although muscle spasm is thought to play a significant role in these cases, the response to smooth muscle relaxants such as nitrates and calcium channel antagonists has been disappointing10. It should be remembered that cholecystectomy is associated with several physiological changes in the upper gastrointestinal tract which may account for the persistence of symptoms or the…

And I find chopsticks frankly distressing. Am I alone in thinking it odd that a people ingenious enough to invent paper, gunpowder, kites and any number of other useful objects, and who have a noble history extending back 3,000 years haven't yet worked out that a pair of knitting needles is no way to capture food?" (Gunpowder quotes), this quote talks about how the Chinese made many great inventions like gunpowder. Gunpowder is very important because it created a weapon of mass destruction that…

1. Describe the clinical trials process of how a drug is approved by the FDA. The clinical trials process can be divided into four phases. Phase one, the researchers recruit a small group of healthy people (20-100 people) into the trial. This phase focuses on absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination. The small dose will be administered. At the end of phase one, the safe dosage and the best route to administer drug will be set. Phase two is similar to phase one. The difference is…

chest pain that radiated to both shoulders. The situation was challenging, since the pain could have been due to the surgical ablation irritating the diaphragm and leading to shoulder pain, or angina. Dr Guzman treated him with sublingual and IV nitrates and the patient stopped breathing and became hypotensive. She did a jaw thrust maneuver and IV bolus normal saline was given that saved the patient. Her intensity of patient management in a critical care setting, and the practical application of…
