society each year. The catastrophic toll that it had on women in the 1800’s was much more traumatizing than it is today. Robert Shadle and James S. Olson give us a vivid picture of what breast cancer in the 1800’s was like in their essay entitled‚ “Dying of Breast Cancer in the 1800s.” The authors of this incredible essay describe the life of “Nabby” Adams‚ the daughter of John and Abigail Adams. The essay gives us a detailed account from the beginning to the end of Nabby’s fight with cancer. Nabby

Introduction Esters derive from the reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol (Figure 1). Figure 1. The General Reaction Equation of Ester Formation From A Carboxylic Acid & An Alcohol. Carboxylic acids contain the functional group –COOH whereas in ester’s the hydrogen is replaced with an R denoting any alkyl or aryl group; -RCOOR’. Esters with low-molecular weights are commonly used as components in the flavor’s and odors of many fruits & fragrances’ as well as to enhance foods & beverages

factors. Background Thin Layer Chromatography: Chromatography is a sophisticated method of separating and identifying mixtures of two or more compounds. The separation is accomplished by the distribution of the mixture between two phases: one that is stationary and one that is moving or mobile. Chromatography works on the principle that different compounds will have different solubilities and adsorption to the two phases‚ which will allow for their separation.

In the same way that individuals interact with each other differently‚ an author‚ too‚ makes use of varying writing styles to evoke thoughts and connections with the audience. In the novel A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines‚ a mixture of symbolism‚ tone‚ and point of view are effectively used to captivate readers‚ and keep the story alive.

base catalyzed Knoevengael condensation of butyl cyanoacetate and corresponding aldehyde led to the forming Butyl 2-Cyano-(3‚5 dichloro-phenyl)-2-propenoate. The analyses that were used to prove its composition and structure include; IR spectroscopy‚ thin layer chromatography (TLC)‚ and CHN analysis. A radical copolymerization reaction was conducted‚ with the initiation by radical initiator 1‚1’-azobiscyclohexanecarbonitrile. CHN analysis‚ IR spectroscopy‚ and Proton NMR analysis were used to prove

Thin Slicing is a term used by psychologist and philosophers‚ but what does it mean? According to Malcolm Gladwell‚ “It’s the tendency that we have as human beings to reach very rapid‚ very profound and sophisticated conclusions based on very thin slices of experiences.” Blink is a book by Malcolm Gladwell explaining this theory of thin-slicing. In the book Gladwell tells us many different stories that have to do with thin-slicing. The book has examples of successful thin-slicing‚ examples showing
