Is it safe to expand space exploration? In the US today there is debate about whether or not space exploration should be continued and further more into space. Though some people believe increasing it is not wise because it 's dangerous, the United States should increase space exploration because we can learn more, make better technology and gain a lot of money. Some people believe that manned missions of space explorations are far too dangerous and it’s too expensive. “Space contains the…

that release energy by beta-minus decay are Cesium-137, Cobalt-60, Ruthenium-106, and Radium-226. Also, while decaying Iridium-192 releases gamma rays, that can be used for radiation therapy. Other radionuclides used are Cesium-131, Iodine-125, and Palladium-103. What is unique about these radiation sources is that they encounter electron capture. During electron capture, an element from the atom’s inner shell get captured into the nucleus. To fill the place of the captured electron, an electron…

Frank Sinatra was an actor, producer, and singer in the 20th century. He was born on December 12, 1915 in Hoboken, New Jersey, to Italian immigrants.

return money to the United States and its economy. In Robert Zubrin and Richard Wagner’s book titled “The Case for Mars…” , Zubrin and Wagner explains how the “concentrated supplies of metals of equal or greater value than silver (such as… gold, palladium, iridium, rubidium, platinum…) were available on Mars” and “they could potentially be transported back to Earth for substantial profit” (239). These valuable resources can also be used by astronauts once on Mars to reduce the amount of money…

Currently I’m working on my thesis entitled, “Pd-catalysed annulations of internal alkynes for the synthesis of Indene and its derivatives”, which mainly deals with the development of new synthetic methodologies for complex Indene derivatives using palladium catalysis. A part of the work has already been communicated to related Journal. Apart from developing experience through the research projects, I am prodigiously thankful that I could develop a plethora of theoretical concepts obligatory…
