An Amorous Intrusion The fear of people and ideals foreign to what we know often results in a detrimental division. “The Smallest Woman in the World”, a short story written by Clarice Lispector, follows a European explorer on an expedition through the Congo. He comes across the smallest woman in the world, who he names Little Flower. A striking image of Little Flower soon spreads across the globe. Through Lispector’s omniscient narrator, the audience experiences the innermost thoughts of people…

fewer places for interaction, so decreasing the amount of energy required to break the intermolecular forces of attraction. 2-hexanone has the lowest point boiling point, as it much more branched and the third carbon has a functional group (double bond O), leading a high compacted molecule. Pentanol and hexanol molecules has the least amount of branching out of the four compounds above in the graph, and as such has the highest boiling…

Baseball is known as one of the most incredible and engaging sports in the nation. Several players all over the country, and even around the world, represent baseball by playing on high school teams, travel teams, and minor league teams as well, in order to reach the highest level of baseball, Major League Baseball, also known as the MLB. To this day, baseball is still one of the most dominant sports in America. However, baseballs reputation and character have slightly diminished because of…

Social interactions are essential in everyday situations such as wooing a mate, the reproduction of offspring, and forming interpersonal relationships. ‘Prosociality’, which is an umbrella term, involves maternal and paternal care, social recognition, adult affiliation such as pair bonding and social bonding, and empathy and trust between people. Various literature has examined the roles of oxytocin and vasopressin in supporting prosocial behaviours. Oxytocin (OT), a nonapeptide hormone…

The Nanotube Introduction: Nanotubes, specifically the carbon nanotubes are just one of the handful of structures engineers and scientist use today that fall in the nanoscale category. Structures in the nanoscale category are usually between 1-100 nanometers, which one nanometer is one-billionth the size of a meter. A confusing yet beneficial property found in materials at the nanoscale is a concept call quantum called quantum mechanics. In quantum mechanics the laws of classic or Newtonian…

In the Acid-Catalyzed Hydration of norbornene, water and sulfuric acid were added to the C=C double bond to form norborneol. Sulfuric acid acted as a catalyst, where it was not consumed in the reaction and helped to propel the reaction forward, as it was vital in forming hydronium ion and breaking the double bond. Both the products endo-norborneol and exo-norborneol were synthesized; however regioselectivity and stereoselectivity played a role as to which product was more preferred and whether…

and right after they graduate. The opportunity that St. Norbert provides through their study abroad program, is amazing, to put it simply. They offer the chance to study almost anywhere in the world for the same price as tuition. Along with that, Bond University will help me advance professionally and academically as well because of the classes that I will take while I’m there, but also the experience that I will gain from living in a different country. I plan on fulfilling 4 of my psychology…

engage in delinquent behavior. This result was said to be due to how the mothers themselves were raised, without stress and with the ability to form emotional bonds with their own children through learned traits. It was proven in Coster’s study that the most imperative aspect of mothering, regardless of employment, was the emotional bonds that were formed which protected adolescents from associating with delinquent peers and ensuing deviant…

Cassamajor, Kimberly P1 R1 S4 Science Fair Research Paper Honors Chemistry Group Number 8 Research Paper The science fair topic at hand is whether or not chemical compounds affect water 's heat resistance/reception. In other words, how does the temperature of water (H2O) change when chemical compounds - such as sodium chloride and sucrose - are added? In this experiment, the independent variable is the chemical compound being tested while the dependent variable is the temperature of the…

For the volume to increase, the ‘cages’ of molecules has to be ‘inflated’, thereby making it bigger and occupy more space. To make the ‘cage’ bigger, the bond angle has to change and as such, FeO4 and PO4 tetrahedral will change as well. This changing of bond angle causes a tetrahedral distortion. Tetrahedral tilting also contributes to the tetrahedral distortion, where the tilt angle will decrease with temperature, causing the tetrahedral to become distorted…
