INTRODUCTION An enzyme is a biological catalyst (Purchon 2012). Its most common function is to speed up the rate of reaction. Without the existence of enzymes within living organisms, the process of digestion would take weeks and the function of our muscles,nerves and bones will…
Biochemistry is an emerging field holding numerous future prospects. Furthermore, Biochemists have an array of responsibilities. My interest in the course is mainly clinical, my rationale for the selection of this course includes the responsibility that I believe is the most significant: finding cures of…
Introduction Denture plaque may be the cause of denture stomatitis or aspiration pneumonia in elderly people. A large number elderly population wore removable dental prosthesis and number of denture wearers increases with age. Polymethyl methacrylate is commonly used denture base resin because Polymethyl methacrylate has…
This lab involves the synthesis of an acrylic polymer. The reagents of hydroxyethyl acrylate, styrene, and butyl acrylate were reacted in a semi-batch process The product was then stored for one week before being crosslinked with a melamine-formaldehyde resin and a catalyst. The resulting coating…
Introduction Magnesium is one of the well-known and promising materials for lightweight applications due to its high specific strength and low density. They are commonly prepared through casting and thus their casting properties are important for their actual applications. Regrettably, Mg alloys are prone to…
Abstract The existence ofsecond-order structural phase transition in the SnSe at a pressure of10GPa has been proved theoretically. The calculation is performed using the plane-wave pseudopotential approach to density-functional theory within the local-density approximation (LDA) withthe help ofthe ABINIT software package. Theabrupt change inbulk module…
Discussion and Explanations Over the duration of this lab our group successfully learned how to use and analyze samples using the Spec 20. These instruments are intuitive to use, however there are also some common errors that can easily be overlooked. Once the Spec 20…
Dust is the combination of both anthropogenic and natural particles obtained from various sources. This can be used to identify the hazardous pollutants being released into our environment. Road dust is nowadays being used as means of measuring pollution in urban and industrial areas this…
The physical basis for Chemistry is something rarely visited in the classroom and it explains many natural phenomena that I held as the truth without question. An example of this is how water should freeze to a more ordered state even though it’s commonly accepted…
This case study is about the explosion of container containing nitric acid. On 2nd December, 2011, a graduate scholar was going to perform an experiment trial requiring the utilization of nitric acid. The students were working with nitric acid for the first time and no…
ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDEOCCURRENCE Aluminum hydroxide is a hydroxide salt type of aluminum. It is usually utilized as a medication, and can be found in acid neutralizers for the treatment of indigestion, gastritis, and peptic ulcers. It might likewise be utilized to lessen the retention of phosphorus…

Acrylamide (AA) has a toxic effect on both animals and human. The present study investigated the potential protective effect of silymarin (SIL), as an antioxidant against the toxicity of the AA in cardiac tissue. Rats were divided into four groups as follows: The control, AA,…
Introduction Electric propulsion has taken over the chemical propulsion system in space travel due to its high efficiency with less amount of propellent. We are all aware that Xenon is used as a propellent for the plasma thrusters. This article mainly deals with discussing an…
Enhancing executaion has gone up against another desperation as of late as governments confront mounting requests on open consumption, combined with calls for higher-quality administrations and an open progressively unwilling to make good on higher regulatory expenses. This has driven governments to center around the…
Nanoporous gold is basically made by selective decomposition of silver from silver-gold alloys. Due to its excellent conductivity, high surface area to volume ratio, chemical inaction, physical stability, easily tunable pores, and plasmonic properties which has taken place a huge field in the field of…
The blue green algae are the primitive members of the plant kingdom. The most of the blue-greens algae are unicellular, photoautotrophs and aerobic. They require mainly light, inorganic matter and oxygen for their growth. Spirulina are filamentous blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) always attracted the interest of…
After contemplating what career path was best suited to my skill set, I came across a video showing the problems with the world today which left an imprint in my mind. I wanted to help make a difference, no matter how little. After researching Chemical…
Introduction Nowadays, there are various chemicals being exposed to human naturally or synthetically. It can be present in pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, pesticides and even foods. Few of the chemicals present in typical daily product may be cancer inducing chemicals that can be dangerous for human…
