2,4-Dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP) with molecular formula HOC6H3(NO2)2 is an organic yellow crystalline solid with sweet and musty odor. It is soluble in organic and aqueous alkaline solutions and has the ability to sublime. It is biochemically active compound and act as ionophore by shuttling the proton across mitochiondria and chloroplast membrane to dissipate heat instead of producing ATP [ Mechanism of uncoupling in mitochondria: uncouplers as ionophores for cycling cations and protons, PNAS, R J…

Affiliations Various Perspectives and Opinions on Nuclear Energy Production Introduction The world has developed over the years. These developments have created a dire need for alternative sources of energy. Industrialization has pressurized engineers to come up with alternative sources of energy. One of the best sources of energy identified to run these industries and factories is nuclear energy. Discovery and development of nuclear energy is one of the most significant hallmarks in the…

will continue to flow with it as a result of the hydrological cycle. There is no absolute way of knowing where the source of the DNAPLs is located, or if any bodies of water are contaminated even after they are discovered. As a result of the constant flow of the ground water, it creates further difficulty in locating the exact source of the DNAPLs contamination, even after the source is found. Since the substance is denser than water it will sink and accumulate at the bottom of an aquifer. If…

For every atomic nucleus, its total angular momentum is represented by the symbol I and called its nuclear spin. This spin is then determined by its quantum number, which is represented by the symbol S. Each nuclear spin is associated with a magnetic moment. When this moment is placed in an external magnetic field, these spin states differ in magnetic potential energy. If placed in a static magnetic field with a small amount of spin polarisation however, certain radio frequency signals can allow…

Distillation, described from About Education, is the process of separating liquids with 2 different boiling points. Distillating requires heating and cooling of liquid components to eventually purify the mixtures. In distillation, heat is added to vaporize the liquid with the lower boiling point and this vapor gas bubble is condensed back into its liquid form, where it is then collected in a receiving flask or a graduated cylinder. Multiple distillations and collections, depending on the types…

between poles of a large magnet creating a perpendicular magnetic field. A high frequency voltage is applied across the electrodes as a surge of charged particles is fed into the centre of the chamber accelerating the charged particles whilst attracting and repelling them. The magnetic field propels the particles spiral towards the edge of the chamber as they gain more energy from the accelerating voltage. The accelerated particles may be used to bombard suitable target materials to produce…

Industry Project Rebecca Smith Adv. – Investments Spring 2016 Industry Description The electric utility industry consists of companies, often regulated public utilities, that provide electricity services such as electricity generation, distribution, sales, and transmission. This definition is based on the six companies from the following peer group: Dominion Resources, Southern Company, Great Plains Energy, PPL Corporation, Exelon, and Ameren. These companies engage in natural gas, nuclear,…

An epileptic seizure is a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain and is caused by an abnormal and excessive electrical discharge of a group of neurons within the brain. “Epilepsy is the condition of recurrent spontaneous seizures arising from abnormal electrical activity in the brain.” (Stafstorm & Rho 2014) Anyone can experience a seizure under the right conditions while epilepsy suggests an enduring variation of brain function that facilitates seizure reoccurrence. At a basic level…

Problem: The research questions being examined in this investigation is, How can we generate electricity by using Potatoes to light an electric bulb? Background Information: How does a potato battery work? The copper (Cu) particles pull in electrons more than the zinc (Zn) molecules. On the off chance that you put a portion of copper and a piece of zinc in contact with each other, numerous electrons go from the zinc to the copper. As they focus on the copper, the electrons repulse each other.…

Power turns abusive because of human’s innate relationship with this mixed blessing. Throughout time, humans have had uniform ways in their desire for power and the way that they follow those who are in a position of power. The consistency prevalent throughout all regions of the world over the course of history is reflective of how all humans share a natural response when called to follow power and similarly in their aspiration for it. A human’s desire for power is a characteristic that remains…
