VX

I was in the Dallas area as an exchange student. I was watching a tv in a coffee shop, and the unthinkable happened. For weeks before the incident happened, tensions between the Japanese government and the Chinese based conglomerate, Black Canyon Research, had been escalating rapidly. They had an experimental research facility in Osaka, Japan. They were testing an experimental gas for warfare that was supposedly 25 times more powerful than VX nerve gas, and 200 times more powerful than Sarin gas. Employees had reported that the containment tanks were leaking. The government had shown up and told them to shut down their research and destroy all the gas, but they didn't. They finally hired mercenaries to keep the Japanese government away. It was to the point that the scientists and staff couldn't leave the building. Then I woke…

It’s interesting to see the progression of weapons from the early beginnings to now. Most people believe that chemical warfare agents were first introduced during the World Wars. Interestingly enough, the concepts of these agents were developed as early as 600 B.C. They weren’t known as chemical warfare agents however; the techniques that were used mimic the action of these agents that are being used today. During the Peloponnesian War between Sparta and Athens, the Spartan army used a mixture…

What are the x and y components of acceleration when the projectile is in motion? Call y positive upwards. The x component of acceleration is zero because projectiles have a constant velocity, resulting in no horizontal acceleration. The y component of acceleration is a constant -9.8 m/s2 in relation to the gravitational force acting on the projectile. Why does the x component of velocity remain constant? The x component of velocity remains constant because since the horizontal acceleration is…

Summary Two woman have been accused of murder for killing Kim Jong Un’s half brother. Siti Aisyah and Doan Thi Huong, the women who have been prosecuted, both have said that they were not guilty in the killing of Kim Jong Nam, who died suddenly February 13 in the Kuala Lumpur international airport in Malaysia. Police have said that they killed Kim by smearing VX, a deadly nerve agent, on his face while he was waiting to catch a flight at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. If the woman are…

Nerve agents including: Tabun (GA), Soman (GD), Sarin (GB), GF and VX. carbamate pesticide (aldicarb), organophosphate pesticides including: parathion and malathion, hydrogen cyanide Vapor or aerosal(mg ⋅ min/m3) Tabun (GA): LCt50: 400, Sarin (GB): LCt50: 100, Soman (GD): LCt 50: 50, VX: LCt50: 10,…

It was blamed on a foggy lens and the disappointed hunter claimed he would build a better rifle scope based on his love of hunting and past experiences. In 1947, Leupold built the Plainsman scope and it is still noteworthy because it was the first fog proof scope that was built in the United States. Since then, they have created many tactical rifle scopes. Reviews show that the most popular of the Leupold tactical scopes is the VX-1 Rimfire Scope or the VX-2. Bushnell Bushnell promises…

heroes) astronauts and a specific logo for each mission. This space mission and every other mission are primarily based on the principles of projectile motion for launching. When the space shuttle is launched in to space, it takes a curved path called the trajectory to finally land in to an orbit. This trajectory is necessary for any launch as it will determine the time of launch, and the angle of inclination. Several calculations will have to be carried out to finalize on the force needed for…

hypotenuse, and the cosine of an angle, in a triangle, equals the adjacent side over the hypotenuse. The variable x now equals the x-position of the circle ', which is now called px(t), and the variable y now equals the y-position of the circle, which is now called py(t). Next, we take the derivative of both the px(t) and py(t). It is necessary to take the derivatives and find the velocities in order to determine the future equation of the ball leaving the arm. The derivative of px(t) will be…

non-persistent chemical agents include: hydrogen cyanide (HCN), sarin (GB), chorine, and phosgene. These agents present an immediate but short-lived threat because they evaporate rapidly after dissemination. Non-persistent agents are easily absorbed across the respiratory tract of an unmasked soldier, with the effects having the potential to be life threatening. Persistent agents are less volatile and tend to remain on exposed surfaces in the environment for up to 24 hours. Once dispersed,…

using an oscilloscope and the voltage gain AVG-D = vout/vin was calculated. The input voltage was adjusted if the output waveform was distorted. 4. The function generator was varied to obtain the necessary data to plot a frequency response curve for the voltage gain. 5. The input impedance ri was measured using the setup shown in the circuit diagram in Figure 8-6. The original input signal from the function generator (100mVp-p @ 1kHz) was used. 6. The value of vin was measured and an equation…
