...Topic: Alcohol is the cause and the solution to many of life’s problems. What are alcohols in terms of chemistry? The term alcohol originally meant the prominent alcohol ethyl alcohol (ethanol) the prominent alcohol in alcoholic beverages. This is not a surprise as the connotations created by the word “alcohol” are that of liquor. But there is a lot more to this liquid than just being a drink. Alcohols are any of a class of organic compounds that have a singly bonded alkane attached to hydroxyl (-OH) groups. Alcohols are important in terms of organic chemistry because they can be converted to and from many other kinds of compounds. this is a ball and stick model of the hydroxyl (-OH) functional group in an alcohol molecule, the three “R’s” stand for...

...I decided to do this essay on Robert Boyle. Robert was born the 25th of January in 1627 in London England, he was an anglo-irish natural philosopher. He was also a chemist, inventor, and a physicist. Boyle is largely regarded today as the first modern chemistry. Robert is best known for Boyle's Law, which describes the inversely proportional relationship between the absolute pressure and volume of a gas, if the temperature is kept constant within a closed system. He had a lot of outstanding works but some of his best were "The Sceptical Chymist" and "Hydrostatical Paradoxes." Robert was a very honourable man. Boyle spent much of 1652-54 in ireland overseeing his hereditary lands, and he also preformed some anatomic dissections. In 1654 he was invited to Oxford, and he took up residence at the university from c, 1656 until 1668. In Oxford he was exposed to the lasest developments in natural philosophy and...

...In analytical chemistry, spectrometer is used to analyze the existing elements in the sample. The basic components for a spectrometer include a radiant source, wavelength selector (monochromator), a radiant detector. The essay is going to discuss the monochromator and the detector. A monochromator is comprised of an entrance slit, a dispersing element and an exit slit. When the incoming beam has passed through the entrance slit, it is dispersed into its component wavelength by the dispersing element. A prism or a grating dispersing element is the most common dispersing element. When the beam passes through the focusing lens, the related spectrum of the wavelengths is selected to be shown on the focal plane at the exit slit. However, a material cannot be used as a prism in any wavelength region in which it absorbs. For ultraviolet measurements, the prism used is usually made of quartz. For infrared region, prism is usually made of NaCl or other alkali halides since both glass and quartz absorb the infrared. (Retrieved on http://chemtech.org/cn/cn212/212-5.htm, Feb 8 2013) Grating monochromator is the second method to disperse the beam. Ultraviolet, visible light and infrared radiation can be dispersed by gratings. The gratings are produced by making a series of parallel grooves on the smooth surface of a material. The reflection grating is usually used in the spectrometers. After the incoming beam passes through the entrance slit, it goes to the concave mirror and reflects...

...History[edit] Students taking a scholarship examination inside a classroom in 1940 Ancient China was the first country in the world that implemented a nationwide standardized test, which was called the imperial examination. The main purpose of this examination was to select for able candidates for specific governmental positions.[4] The imperial examination was established by the Sui Dynasty in 605 AD and was later abolished by the Qing Dynasty 1300 years later in 1905. England had adopted this examination system in 1806 to select specific candidates for positions in Her Majesty's Civil Service,modeled on the Chinese imperial examination. This examination system was later applied to education and it started to influence other parts of the world as it became a prominent standard (e.g. regulations to prevent the markers from knowing the identity of candidates), of delivering standardized tests. Influence of World Wars on Testing Both World War I and World War II made many people realize the necessity of standardized testing and the benefits associated with these tests. One main reason people saw the benefits was from the Army Alpha and Army Beta tests, which were used during WWI to determine human abilities. Alongside the Army Alpha, the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale "added momentum to the testing movement."[5] Soon after, colleges and industry began using tests to help in accepting and hiring people based on performance of the test. Another reason more tests...

...Natalia Blyznyuk Chemistry October 27, 2011 Essay Question:How is atomic structure related to the patters of the physical and chemical properties of an element illustrated on the periodic table? The periodic table consists of elements that are grouped together based on the knowledge that the elements have similar properties. The periodic table is arranged by periods and groups. The atomic number usually increases when moving across a row or period. The atomic structure of an atom consists of an electron, a proton, and a neutron. Electrons have light particles and a negative charge. Protons have heavier particles and have a positive charge. Neutrons also have heavier particles but do not a charge thus being neutral. Elements are commonly classified ad metals, nonmetals, or metalloids. The trend that elements contain are: Ionization energy, atomic radius, melting point/density, electronegativity, and reactivity. Atoms get bigger when one moves down the group and smaller when one moves to the right (moving across). The largest atomic radius is considered to be found in the bottom left corner of the periodic table. Along with high reactivity, the bottom left corner is also know to have low electronegativity and low ionization energy. The upper right corner on the other hand is the opposite. The upper right corner has high electronegativity, the smallest atomic radius, high ionization energy, and is very reactive. A broad amount of dense elements are found in the middle...

...Post-secondary schools of all kinds—expensive, elite colleges, state universities, and community colleges—are flirting with the idea of MOOCS, massive open online courses, where tens of thousands of students can take the same class simultaneously. Is this the future of college? Nathan Heller wrote about the phenomenon in the May 20, 2013 issue of The New Yorker in "Laptop U." I recommend you find a copy or subscribe online for the full article, but I'll share with you here what I gleaned as the pros and cons of MOOCS from Heller's article. What Is a MOOC? The short answer is that a MOOC is an online video of a college lecture. The M stands for massive because there is no limit to the number of students who can enroll from anywhere in the world. Anant Agarwal is a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT, and president of edX, a non-profit MOOC company owned jointly MIT andHarvard. In 2011, he launched a forerunner called MITx (Open Courseware), hoping to get 10 times the usual number of classroom students in his spring-semester circuits-and-electronics course, about 1,500. In the first few hours of posting the course, he told Heller, he had 10,000 students sign up from all over the world. The ultimate enrollment was 150,000. Massive. The Pros MOOCs are controversial. Some say they are the future of higher education. Others see them as the eventual downfall of it. Here are the pros Heller found in his research. MOOCS: 1. Are free. Right now, most...

...Jason Evans English 103 Essay 3 Social networking and what it can do for you has been a hot topic for the last decade or so due in large part to the seemingly ever growing uses of such a tool. In the publication, Interactions, I found an essay explaining the trends of social networking and benefits for the future possibilities for this growing phenomenon. While the use of social networking is not new to us, this essay contends that we may have just begun to scratch the surface of what we can utilize our networks to work for us. The authors, Nichole Ellison, Cliff Lampe, and Charles Steinfield, discuss ways in which we not only can use these social mediums to gain a larger circle of friends and contacts, but that we can use them to further common goals in larger organizations of people and use our series of network connections to benefit us in the job market and business as a whole. The most prevalent users of these social networking sites are younger people, but in this essay, the authors point out that, “as adoption spreads to a wider audience, we expect such changes to be amplified across all segments of society” (Ellison, Lampe, Steinfeld, 2009). The use of social networking has the chance to alter our lives on both a personal and large scale. This ideal is something that these authors are directing at a global audience, and not just a small targeted group of people. Throughout the course of this essay, they highlight many positives for social networking and provide some...

...Running head: Career Research Essay: Career Development Career Research Essay: Career Development Career Research Essay: Career Development Abstract Audiology was born out of the armed forces rehabilitation programs during and following WWII. The practice has expanded to include both diagnosis and treatment. Audiologists specialize in hearing and balance disorders. To become an audiologist, a doctoral degree is needed. It is an Au.D. earned from a program accredited by the CAA. These programs last at least 4 years. Audiologists held about 12,800 jobs in 2008, and about 13,000 jobs in 2012. Audiologists work with patients of all ages, from newborns to elderly. Keywords: Audiology CAREER RESEARCH ESSAY: CAREER DEVELOPMENT Audiology was born out of armed forces rehab programs during and following WWII, as many soldiers sustained injuries to their inner ears from loud noises. The practice was largely influenced by the invention of hearing aids-originally, audiologists could recommend amplification, but could not provide it. The Academy of Doctors of Audiology was formed in 1976, and audiologists moved beyond technician status. The practice then expanded to include both diagnosis and treatment. “Audiologists specialize in balance and hearing disorders. They diagnose hearing, neural, and balance disorders in patients from all age groups and recommend solutions to correct or cope with problems.
