2 Chemical warfare What is Chemical Warfare: To understand chemical warfare you must first understand what a chemical agent is. A United Nations report from 1969 defines chemical warfare agents as " ... chemical substances‚ whether gaseous‚ liquid or solid‚ which might be employed because of their direct toxic effects on man‚ animals and plants ... ". This means basically that any chemical that is used to directly effect and harm a person‚ plant‚ or animal would be an act of chemical warfare

Electrical Engineering Work Performed Electrical Engineers research‚ develop‚ design‚ and test electronic components‚ products‚ and systems for commercial‚ industrial‚ medical‚ military‚ and scientific applications (Cosgrove 749). They are concerned with devices that use small amounts of electricity that make up electronic components such as integrated circuits and microprocessors. By applying principles and techniques of electronic engineering they design‚ develop‚ and manufacture products

Chemical Reactions Chemical Reactions Introduction In this paper you learn about the reactions that occur between backing soda and lemon juice. We will also describe what is occurring with the molecules on a molecular level. Lastly we will explain what chemical bonds are formed and or broken when lemon juice and backing soda. Observations of the Reactants When most people hear baking soda they think of the bright orange box sitting in their pantry or refrigerator soaking up the foul odors

Gerica Roberts 822 January 4‚ 2012 Ms. Buie Genetic Engineering Genetic engineering is a laboratory technique used to change or modify the DNA of any subject to create a new substance or functions. This method changes the genes‚ in which was passed down from the biological parents. These modified test subjects might not become super objects but they sure are wired and fixed different from the rest of the naturally made things. Techniques allows scientist to determine the charac

GENETIC ENGINEERING GENETIC ENGINEERING GENERAL STEPS What is Genetic Engineering? Genetic Engineering = inserting a foreign gene of interest into a host to transcribe and translate a particular protein. Ex. Inserting the human insulin gene into bacteria to mass produce it. General Steps Obtain the gene of interest (ex. insulin gene) Insert the gene into the host (ex. bacteria) Allow the host to multiply and express the foreign gene get your desired protein! Get lots of cells that can

Chemical Warfare Diyora Shukurova Period 1 06-05-2014 Chemical warfare is known as the “use of toxic chemicals in battle.” Chemicals have been used for battle throughout centuries. But also known as any toxic chemical which is deadly or can cause injuries. For example‚ poisoned arrows‚ boiling tar‚ arsenic smoke and noxious fumes‚ and there are many more. Chemical weapons were first used in 1915. The germen military was the first to release 168 tons of chlorine gas at Ypres and Belgium which caused
