Several efforts have been made over recent years to maintain a safe and clean environment. However, environmental pollution is getting worst and poses a major threat to the Earth. Environmental pollution is “the contamination of the physical and biological components of the Earth to such an extent that normal environmental processes are adversely affected” (Kemp, 1998, p. 129). There are five known pollution which is in the form of air, water, land, noise and light (refer to Figure 1 in Appendix
Description of Ladbroke Grove Rail Crash The Ladbroke Grove rail crash is termed as one the worst rail accidents that have ever occurred in Britain (Kletz. 2002). The accident occurred on the 5th of March in 1999 at the Ladbroke Grove. On this day, 5th of March 1999, at exactly 08:06 British Summer Time, a Thames Trains service departed from Paddington station, platform nine and veered off to Bedwyn railway station in Wiltshire. The Thames Train (whose headcode was 1K20) was the type of a 3-car
BS1003 – Organic Chemistry Practical 1 Laboratory Report Name: Tristan Chan Yew Kit, U1640436J (T8) Effects of Dichloromethane(DCM) in Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Purpose To investigate the ability for Dichloromethane(DCM), a moderately polar organic solvent, to extract aqueous caffeine molecules, originating from Tea Leaves suspended in water. Introduction Caffeine, defined chemically as 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine (C8H10N4O2), is an alkaloid that can be found in tea leaves, coffee and many
The Hinton Rail collision of 1986 is one of Canada’s worst rail disasters, occurring just on the outskirts of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta. This mass disaster was the result of a head-on high speed collision of a VIA rail Super Continental passenger train and a Canadian National freight train, leaving behind the remanence of torn apart passenger cars, shattered glass, burning chemical fumes and piles of scattered debris (Ferllini, 2012, p.170). Such a scene required the assistance of forensic anthropologists
Grishma Patel Chloroplast Pigments and Colored Light Absorption Summary The purpose of executing this lab was to see how different wavelengths and colors of light are absorbed by chloroplast pigments. The goal was to see the variations of light dependant reactions of photosynthesis based on different types of light. Spinach was used by grinding it with acetone and acquire the thylakoids used in the experiment. DCIP was used in this experiment as the oxidizing agent that will turn blue to clear when
compound identified of this class and is two times potent than the first discovered statin Mevastatin. Lovastatin (LST) is structurally similar to hydroxyl methylglutarate (HMG), a substrate of the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway and it differs by a methyl group only at single 6th position. Lovastatin (LST) is a pro drug which is activated by hydrolysis of lactone ring. MOLECULAR WEIGHT: 404.53 MOLECULAR FORMULA:
preserved with an antimicrobial. 5.4. EUDRAGIT NE 40 D81-82: Nonproprietary Names: Polyacrylate Dispersion 40 Per Cent Ph. Eur. Chemical structure: Eudragit NE 40 D is the aqueous dispersion of a neutral copolymer based on ethyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate. The average molar mass is approx. 750,000 g/mol. Description: Milky-white liquid of low viscosity with a faint characteristic odour. It is highly permeable polymer and is very flexible polymer. It is available in the 40% dispersion form and
Trauma to the face caused by assault or impact from solid objects, often causes internal orbita fractures. In 1957, Smith and Regan described the term “orbital blow-out fracture” from their observation that blunt eyeball trauma due to a tennis ball or a fist increased intraorbital pressure without disruption of soft tissue integrity or causing a fracture line in orbital rims but could cause orbital floor fractures (1). Such fractures have been categorized as “pure blow-out fractures” in which only
c.) 11426 d.) 21557 18. A 59-year-old female patient with thoracic vertebral fractures of the spine presents for a percutaneous vertebroplasty. A needle is inserted through the right pedicle of the T7 and T8 vertebral body defects and methyl methacrylate is injected. The procedure was done under fluoroscopic guidance.

Fibroblast The fibroblast is the large cell type of the dermis. These cells are responcible for the formation of procollagen and elastic fibers. Procollagen is terminally cleaved by proteolytic enzymes into collagen which aggregates and turned into cross-linked. These tightly cross-linked collagen fibers allow tensile strength and resistance to shear and other mechanical forces.(9,10) Collagen makes up 70% of the weight of the dermis, primarily Type I (85% of the total collagen) and Type III (15%
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION The recent years have roused concerns about global warming and climatic change, instability of oil supply, increasing price of crude oil and regulations putting constraints on the use of nonrenewable energy sources. These problems have attracted the focus towards production of chemicals and fuels from renewable resources, which can be used to produce biofuels. This development can promote the local employment opportunities and reduce the CO2 emissions.(Visioli, Enzweiler
