The Atomic Theory states that all matter is composed of discrete units called atoms. The Atomic Theory started in about 400 BCE with a scientist by the name of Democritus. Democritus proposed the idea of the existence of an ultimate particle. He called this particle atomos when he was describing it, because the particle was too small to cut. Next, we get to Leucippus. Leucippus was the man who founded atomism, which is a theoretical approach that states nature consists of two principles, which…

Gage. Phineas suffered profound trauma to his orbital frontal lobe because of a railway accident. As a result, Phineas’ moral behavior changed from hardworking, responsible, and upstanding to capricious, socially inappropriate, and amoral. Similar case studies have affirmed Phineas’ transformation, signifying a correlation between moral behavior and the orbital frontal cortex. Neurologist Antonio Damasio has studied the relationship between the orbital frontal cortex and moral behavior,…

Comet landing has been one of the greatest achievement of this century, but only a select few know about the design of this remarkable spacecraft ‘Rosetta’ which made all this possible. When I looked up about this spacecraft in Wikipedia I was highly disappointed by the amount of specification provided for the design and construction of this spacecraft. Furthermore, this incredible achievement of landing a probe on a comet has been a subject of hot topic in the media so I thought many people…

Kent Rominger is a former American astronaut and a former captain in the Navy. He was born and raised in Del Norte, Colorado. Kent Rominger, has been on 5 space missions, some of which include, STS-100, STS-80, and STS-73. His first spaceflight, was as the pilot of STS-73 which launched on October 20, 1995. The STS-73 was the second United States Microgravity Laboratory mission which focused on biotechnology, materials science, combustion science, and many other scientific experiments. He…

This report has two major parts of the main body: the atmosphere of Pluto and surface of Pluto. For atmosphere part, I discussed its unusual extended range, composition, and the escape of atmospheric atoms. Atoms of tholins in the atmosphere can affect both the colour of haze and the ground of Pluto. The second part contains the geological features on Pluto, including two distinctive regions: Sputnik Platinum and Tombaugh Regio. In this part, further interactions of the atmosphere and geological…

its lander module. On March 4th, 2005, Rosetta had a planned close swing-by of Earth. In total, Rosetta had a total of three swing-bys of Earth. On July 10th, 2010, Rosetta managed to fly by and photographed asteroid 21 Lutetia. Rosetta started on orbital correction maneuvers to bring itself…

colors of different materials. William Perkins first discovered the azo dye on accident after adding alcohol to a product in the lab. They have the ability to do this due to the molecules of the dyes possessing conjugation. Conjugation is defined as p-orbitals overlapping which causes the electrons within to be delocalized; it is also seen in molecules and compounds that contain alternating double bonds. Systems that possess conjugation absorb energy in the ultraviolet-visible region of the…

prevention by always wearing googles and safety eye glass designing protective eyewear Most eye injuries from sports are minor—such as corneal abrasions from scratches to the eye, or eyelid lacerations. But others have major consequences, including orbital fractures, retinal detachments, optic nerve avulsion and optic neuropathies, all of which can result in serious or even…

Since ancient Greece, humanity has become fascinated with science. The development of new technologies that will further the existence of mankind, has been the goal for many great scientists. Through centuries of experimenting, the mid-evil era of alchemy, and many years after, Chemistry became a topic of much importance. During the 1800’s, science had become one of the most rapidly growing fields as explanations for how things work, or the technological progression allowing us to discover more.…

book, the most influential characteristics that help determine sex are: overall skull size, shape of forehead, supraorbital ridge, mastoid process, orbital shape, nuchal area and occipital protuberance and chin shape. In the same way, the most significant characteristics that help determine ancestry are: nasal root, lower border of nasal aperture, orbital shape, malar tubercle, dental shape, lingual side of incisors. Based on this information our group hypothesized that through the blood…
