Special agent

Becoming a Sports Agent Growing up I always wondered what was my purpose in life. I had a variety of things that I was good at, but nothing that I ever thought I was great at. I enjoyed playing sports growing up, but the statistics of making it to the national leagues was so low that a more reachable goal had to be in store for my future. My cousin once told me “Marquis you are a jack of all trades, but when will you become a king of one?” That immediately resonated with me as I began to think…

minutes An easier way to view this is in Figure 1.1 where it shows what should have been closer to the correct answers. EDTA did seem to have inhibited the reaction some, but the chelating agent, PTU, had the smallest reaction rate making copper the correct cofactor. The trend in the data is that the two chelating agents used to bind copper both had smaller reaction rates than the EDTA, used to bind Magnesium and Calcium. The color change was seen the most in the test tube containing EDTA. It…

Artificial intelligence is a topic that is not on many people’s radar. Some people think it’s a technology that won’t be achieved or mastered until the distant future, and some people think it’s nothing more than science fiction, but people don’t know that this technology is fast approaching, and it could have good and bad consequences. There are people who think artificial intelligence is the future and will have a hand and everything we do, while many other people think it could have…

Anthony Alvarado Bio 1A Chronic oxidative stress via hydroxyl radical and imbalanced redox homeostasis Redox hemostasis has been shown to be an important factor in the overall aging and neurodegeneration processes in mammalian models; such as, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. As a result, redox homeostasis has been a key point of interest in current research. Redox homeostasis is the balance between electrophiles and nucleophiles in a system, more importantly in a biological system. These…

herbicides that were used, but the most common of them being Agent Orange. Agent Orange was one of three herbicides composed of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.…

Flow batteries have been around since the 1970’s this technological advance in the field of energy storage and acts as a fuel cell which can provide a new and efficient energy supply. One of the biggest advantages of flow batteries is that they can practically in an instance recharge just by replacing the electrolyte liquid,while this happens it is recovering the spent materials for recharge. Several different flow batteries have been developed, including Redox, Hybrid and, Membraneless. The…

It is even more rare for that person to battle personal demons, loss, and betrayal, only to return with a vengeance. Leigh Steinberg did just that. Sitting in a quaint office overlooking the water in cushy Newport Beach, Los Angeles-born sports agent Leigh Steinberg spoke candidly on a few topics near and dear to him while providing insight into his many layers. He is a man that reached the pinnacle of success in his field. Furthermore, unlike various other in his cutthroat profession, Leigh…

polymer in cornstarch called amylopectin to a polymer in glue, called polyvinyl (http://www.hometrainingtools.com/a/make-a-colorful-bouncy-ball , 2016). Cornstarch is a corn product primarily used for cooking purposes, also widely used as a thickening agent. This bond gives the ball its elasticity effect, which means that the ball wants to return to its native shape when its shape is change. So when you throw it against a surface, the ball gets compressed, but because of the polymer bond…

Agent Orange Many powerful people throughout time have made immense impacts in the world. People such as Martin Luther King; a man who influenced millions in the Civil Rights Movements and Bill Gates; a multi-billionaire who gives huge amounts to charities. King and Gates will go down in history as vital people who made the world a better place. Can you think of anyone else like these two? I know one person for sure will make that honorary list next to those people. He is loud, proud, has a lot…

The purpose of the experiment is to perform a series of chemical reactions involving copper. The goal is then to perform precipitation, acid-base, decomposition, and redox reactions using the copper cycle. The mass of the copper was then analyzed using the percent recovery formula. Reaction 1: The Formation of Cu(NO3)2: Reaction 1 of the experiment involved performing a redox reaction to create Cu(NO3)2. Immediately after HNO3 was added to the copper wire (Cu), the brown NO2 gas was emitted from…
