become a Veterinarian. I believe that I can complete this goal by majoring in Biology at the University of Illinois at Springfield. Biology and Chemistry have always been interesting to me. Whether it be learning about organelles in biology class or titrations in chemistry class, I always wanted to know more. Science, in general, has always been an interest of mine. It was not until I adopted my current dog that I really knew how I could apply those interests. Animals, especially companion…
company. She would fly hours and distributed their water purification systems, and also trained people on how to use them, as well as how the system worked. Their company was instrumental in standardizing water-purification tests and pioneered titration test kits and many world-standard water-testing instruments. The company’s tests were designed to be simple and effective, using visual comparisons against color standards and nontechnical directions. According to the company mottos, they could…
The number of moles of hydrochloric acid neutralizes for the three trials (2,4,5) were calculated using stoichiometry. It was calculated for trial 2 by convert 4.88 mL NaOH to L by divide by 1000 mL. Then, to get to mol of NaOH the molarity of NaOH was multiplied by 0.00488. Then to get from NaOH to HCl, the mole ratio 2 HCl to 1 mol NaOH was multiplied by 0.00122. To get the amount of HCl per beaker, 100 mL of HCl was divided by 1000 mL to get 0.1 L. Then, the liters were converted to moles by…
A thirty year old female presented to the delivery room with an uncomplicated vaginal birth. On examination, the baby girl was responsive, jaundiced, no dysmorphic features, and all vitals where normal. Blood bank results showed that the baby was O positive and had a strong positive direct anti-globulin (DAT) of a 4+. After having double phototherapy for thirty-six hours, the baby still had an increased reticulocyte count of 5.5 to 7.5 % and an increased bilirubin level of 7.0 to 18.0 mg/dL.…
Stellar professional skills, knowledge, and training of nursing students in hemodynamic monitoring of critically ill patients, medication titration and management, assisting physicians with specialized invasive procedures at the bedside such as chest tube placement, intubation, bronchoscopy, central line placement, ventilator weaning, organ donations, Burrholes Procedure, ICP monitoring and…
Whilst both treatments began concurrently, the medication titration trial was introduced before the behavioral intervention was being implemented. Last, the community group were originally established as the “no treatment” group. Nevertheless, it would have been unethical not to treat the subjects for 14 months.…
The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines neuropathic pain as pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. Neuropathic pain can either be central or peripheral. Central neuropathic pain is caused by a lesion or disease of the central somatosensory nervous system, whereas peripheral pain is caused by a lesion or disease of the peripheral somatosensory nervous system (IASP, 2012). The management of neuropathic pain is challenging because many…
The procedure for Lab 5 contained four parts. For Part A, a clean, dry 100 mL beaker was obtained and filled with 60 mL of distilled water. Next, the beaker was placed on a ring stand with a thermometer attached to the ring stand to record the temperature of the water. After the thermometer had been in the water for two minutes, the temperature was recorded. Following the recording of the temperature, a 10 mL pipet and a bulb was used to pipet 10.00 mL of distilled water into a clean, dry,…
With this experiment intend to prove Salem Lakes ability to buffer chemicals used in the water treatment process versus that of the Yadkin River. Using a jar test machine, simulated the addition of an acid in the form of Al2SO4, and a base NaOH to the coagulation process. Salem Lake does show a preferred buffering at higher acid doses, though Yadkin River is more efficient at the low to mid-range dose. INTRODUCTION There is a distinct difference in the buffering capacity of Salem Lake versus…
Studying biology and chemistry has given me the foundation knowledge which I am hoping to broaden. Chemistry at AS has helped me develop my laboratory and practical skills such as titration experiments, which is a key asset in the biomedical field. Both biology and chemistry gave me an analytic way of thinking as I am now confident in interpreting and evaluating data. Psychology is a subject that requires deeper thinking as we…
