When a neutron is absorbed by isotope of X-- given that X is some given element-- another isotope of X is created. Though sometimes these newly-created isotopes of X are very unstable. They may be so unstable, in fact, that they only exist briefly before splitting into two separate and distinct chemicals. Radioactive photons, massive energy, and neutrons are shot out in the surrounding area. As long as more Isotopes of X still exist in the area, this can, in turn, create a grand chain reaction…

The argument that seat-belts can increase our safety, potentially save lives and therefore any wise individual should take precaution and buckle up is a valid one, but by making this a mandatory law, we are in essence opening the door for our government to further infringe upon our right to decide what…

In America every fifty-one minutes someone is killed in a drunk driving crash. From the ages of sixteen through nineteen the risk of vehicle crashes is substantially higher. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among fifteen to twenty year olds, according to the National Center for health Statistics. You are at risk every time you step into a vehicle that risk automatically doubles when you decide to drive under the influence, distracted by texting while driving, or just going…

Seatbelts Safety in vehicles is very important. Many people wear their seat belts to avoid injury in vehicle accidents. Usually the first reaction when getting into a vehicle is to strap your seatbelt. The safety belt was designed to save lives, and prevent injury in passenger cars. However, in some cases the seatbelt has caused more harm than safety. Research shows that when the seat belt is worn properly, the risk of fatal injury is reduced. In the 1930’s, when seat belts were first…

On the evening of October 19, 2004 a corporate airline jet that was doing business for American Airlines crashed during the final approach into Kirksville Regional Airport in Kirksville, Missouri. There were fifteen individuals on board the aircraft when it crashed into trees. After striking the ground the aircraft was destroyed and after the impact a fire on the ground broke out because of the plane crash. The conditions of that night were IMC. (NTSB) History of the Flight It was on the night…

In this case several survivors of an airplane crash on the Andes Mountains faced the problem of not being found. The cold temperature and lack of food made it hard for some to survive, however one of the survivors made it after two months, and was able to find help, that lead to the rescue of 14 people. Today I will evaluate how the leader would act, if leader member exchange, the normative model, the situational leadership theory, the contingency model, and the path-goal theory were involved as…

As Mark was driving to school on a Friday morning, he heard a notification on his iPhone 6. He quickly looked down to grab his phone, but before he could lift his head, he heard a loud noise. He looked up, and before he could react, he ran full speed into another car. Mark was only 15, but since he was being so irresponsible he got himself and another person killed. The driving age in Georgia should not be lowered because teens are too distracted by their phones, lowering the driving age would…

2007). It is important to know that this disaster happened more than ten years prior to the publication of the first model building code (the uniform building code) and at approximately the same time as the initial development of the NFPA's life safety guidelines. It is clear that it had some impact on the number of exits of the building required and direction of the door-swing provisions in the code ( Tubb & Meacham, 2007). Means…

Salmonella infection in food is the one of the major causes of foodborne illnesses including fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea. Thus, early detection of Salmonella contamination is important for our healthy life. Conventional detection methods for the food contamination have limitations in sensitivity and rapidity, thus the early phase detection has been difficult. Herein, we developed a bioelectronic nose using a carbon nanotube (CNT) field-effect transistor (FET) functionalized with…
