Name: Amra Aliyu Lab partner: Jamie Liang Lab: Empire of Electricity Course: Chem 106 Date: 7/11/2015 INTRODUCTION A galvanic cell is an electrochemical cell that goes through a redox reaction and produces electrical energy . It converts chemical energy to electrical energy and the energy goes from the anode to the cathode. In this lab we had manipulate an exothermic zinc reaction to produce electricity.

In the 1500s and 1600s, the scientific revolution changes the way Europeans looked at the world, they began to make conclusion based on experimentation and observation instead of accepting traditional ideas. ‘’Although new knowledge emerged in many areas during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, including medicine, chemistry, and natural history, the scientific achievements that most captured the learned imagination and persuaded people of the cultural power of natural knowledge were those that occurred in astronomy.” (348) Nicolaus Copernicus was a polish astronomer who published On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres, were he made two main conclusions, the universe is heliocentric not geocentric and the earth is one part of many
When James “Whitey” Bulger appeared in court for the first time in June of 2013, one would never know that he was once the most feared criminal in Boston. At 84 years old, Bulger “shuffled into a federal courthouse” like “a dinosaur in an orange jumpsuit.” (McMorrow 1) After 16 years of escaping the wrath of the FBI, Bulger was finally being put on trial for his long list of heinous crimes including 11 murders, money laundering, weapon violations, and racketeering. (McMorrow 1) However, even more shocking than his convictions was the relationship Bulger had with the FBI, which unraveled before the eyes of the court and people across the country.
Emma Areman Professor Walker Meteorology 10 December 2017 Overview / highlights of important topics and concepts in each chapter Chapter 1- Introduction to the Atmosphere Chapter One was an introduction to the atmosphere. There are four major spheres within the earth. There is the geosphere which is beneath the atmosphere and divided into three regions. The atmosphere is a gaseous envelope.
The Carnegie Airborne Observatory (CAO) is an airplane containing advanced spectroscopic technology and was developed by Greg Asner. The goal of the CAO is to manage ecosystems using their mapping technology. They are also trying to figure out different ways to organize species in the canopies of rainforests depending on the chemical and spectroscopic traits of leaves. The CAO consists of a visible to short-wave infrared (VSWIR) spectrometer, LiDAR technology, and the Airborne Taxonomic Mapping System (AToMS). All of these technologies assist in obtaining colored 3-D images of tropical forests that can represent and distinguish between a variety of variables such as biomass, density, vegetation, heights of trees/canopies, concentrations of specific elements, and the overall chemical make-up of forests.
During World War One, Austria-Hungary was destroyed and Hungary was once again a free country. Hungary was a primarily agricultural country, and was rather peaceful, with no particular enemies. However, the newly found peace wouldn't last. By the early forties, the European nation was at war. Hungary wanted to remain neutral, but through a cyclone of bribes, Hungary joined the Axis Powers in the war.
Excuse us while we humbly brag about yet another impressive alum... Ray Corona (IAS '13), was recently appointed to the Seattle LGBT Commission!

Instead, flat-Earthers argue, the planet is a disk. Exactly what this looks like varies by who is theorizing, but many flat-Earth believers say that walls of ice surround the edge of the disk, and that the planets, moons and stars hover in a sort of dome-shaped firmament above Earth, much closer to Earth than they really are. [8 Times Flat-Earthers Tried to Challenge Science in 2017) As conspiracy theories go, it's a pretty all-encompassing one. So what is the appeal?
There were various sources of politics and power apparent in the AstroTech case. Legitimate, coercive, reward, expert, and charismatic are all sources of power that specifically involve an individual. Legitimate power played a role in this case because there were managers who felt like their position gave them power within the company, whereas coercive power was played by a couple of individuals who used a harsh leadership style to get results. Reward power was identified in this case by a promotion that was given to an individual to manage the newly acquired division, while expert power was revealed by an individual who knew more about quality control and specific regulations. A manager in this case displayed charismatic power by his willingness to help his subordinates get the work

The hollow earth theory or ‘hohlwelttheorie’ as it is called in German, is the idea that the Earth is not a solid mass but rather an entirely hollow sphere that within contains a substantial interior space. The idea goes back to ancient mythology, folklore, and legends of a subterranean land inside the Earth, from which places of origin and afterlife were thought to be located, such as the Christian hell described by Dante, the Greek underworld, the Hindu ‘Patala’, the Celtic ‘Cruachan’ just to name few, which in its majority were caves or holes that connected the outside Earth with its interior, from which strange creatures would emerge and be seen in the surface. However, the idea didn’t have any scientific credibility until 1962 when English
Important tapeworm parasites of humans Cestoda is a class of phylum platyhyelminthes. The best-known species of this class are called tapeworms. This is a class of parasitic flatworms, their life histories are vary but they mostly live in the digestive tracts or gut of humans and other vertebrates as adult, and sometimes they are present in the bodies of animals as juveniles. All cestodes contain atleast one and often more than one host. They lack digestive tract, mouth and senory organs, they have unique body extension called microtiches which help in absorption of host nutrients.
