A concentration camp is where prisoners of war‚ enemy aliens‚ and political prisoners are detained and confined‚ typically under harsh conditions‚ or place or situation characterized by extremely harsh conditions. The first concentration camps were established in 1933 for confinement of opponents of the Nazi Party. The supposed opposition soon included all Jews‚ Gypsies‚ and certain other groups. By 1939 there were six camps: Dachau‚ Sachsenhausen‚ Buchenwald‚ Mauthausen‚ Flossenburg

attempting to “Remain loyal to their homeland” and were acting as spies. Even without concrete evidence‚ President Roosevelt signed for them to be relocated. These camps were still located on American soil and were not death camps. The camps were concentration camps‚ a place where they go to basically do hard labor all day. Many Japanese American families sold their homes and assets‚ there was no guarantee that their lives would continue as normal upon their return. Their homes sold for fractions of

The term concentration camp refers to a place in which people are detained or confined‚ usually under harsh conditions and without regard to legal normality of arrest and imprisonment that were acceptable in a constitutional democracy. In Nazi Germany between 1941 and 1945‚ concentration camps were an integral feature of their government (from the Holocaust Encyclopedia at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum). The main reason that Hitler and his Nazi Party sent Jewish people to the camps

Lab Report Factors That Affect Enzymes Reaction Rate Name of lab: Effects of temperature‚ pH‚ Enzyme Concentration‚ and Substrate Concentration on Enzymatic Activity Introduction: Enzymes are the most important types of proteins‚ they act as catalysis (speed up chemical reactions). If enzymes didn’t exist‚ biochemical reactions would act to slowly and they couldn’t keep up with the metabolic functions. Enzymes have a three-dimensional structure that is really complex. This structure consists

determine how the concentration of a species can affect reaction rate in the determination of rate law and rate constant. 2. To determine how temperature affects reaction rate. Introduction Chemical kinetics deals with the speed‚ or rate‚ of a reaction and the mechanism by which the reaction occurs. We can think of the rate as the number of events per unit time. The rate at which you drive (your speed) is the number of miles you drive in an hour (mi/hr). For a chemical reaction the rate is the number

“In the concentration camps‚ we discovered this whole universe where everyone had his place. The killer came to kill‚ and the victims came to die” Elie Wiesel. Concentration Camps are specific places in which individuals are detained or confined usually under harsh conditions. They were used to hold political and religious enemies of the Nazi party throughout most of WWII and a majority of the camps were in Poland. They held Jews and various religious groups prisoner. The horrific acts committed

Hey Yanek! I haven’t talked to you since the third concentration camp‚ which really isn’t a good thing but I just wanted to catch up with you. Some of the people at my other camp were telling me that the Americans were getting closer day by day‚ but I didn’t believe them. But then they came! I was crying‚ screaming and jumping all around! Then the Nazi guards told us to go back to our bunks and said that this will end quickly. Shortly after that‚ we heard a loud bang on the door and somebody yelled

A key component of the quantification of the protein concentration in the given samples was the generation of a standard curve. The data presented in Table 1 produced the graph in Figure 1 which was then used to calculate a line of best fit. The line of best fit yielded an equation y= 0.44976x which was in turn used to calculate unknown protein concentrations of given samples. The absorbances of the whole milk‚ cereal milk and muscle milk had been previously obtained and recorded via spectrophotometer
