The ultimate goal of the Buddhist way of life is the attainment of nibbāna or salvation. The body‚ in Buddhism is seen as a composite thing which is thus‚ transient. The Theragāthā‚ written by Buddhist monks and the Therīgāthā‚ written by Buddhist nuns both echo this view. Women‚ in Buddhism‚ were seen as the embodiment of the pleasures of the body – as ones who distract bhikkhus from their path of abstinence and thus‚ bind them down to the world of material things. This‚ coupled with the concept

“Books are uniquely portable magic‚” Stephen King wrote in On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft. I quite agree with this view. In retrospect‚ the genres of books which I read gradually varied as of aged. Additionally‚ those books which I have read‚ broadened my horizon and improved my comprehension ability to some degree. When I was a preteen‚ my parents thought that reading as a good habit needed to be fostered from my childhood. Therefore‚ I had bedtime stories since I was three years old. My

the purpose is so that the code can get out of the Nucleus‚ mRNA is also made through Transcription‚ It also takes information that doesn’t directly make proteins but it helps makes codes for the production of proteins‚ DNA Transcription consist of 4 nucleotide bases‚ Adenine‚ Thymine‚ Cytosine‚ Guanine. Transcription also unwinds the strand of DNA and the RNA comes in and matches then becomes a single strand. The only thing that changes during this process is the Thymine gets replaced with Uracil

internet has been "chipping away" (Source 4) at millennial’s concentration. Brainwashing them into becoming dependent on the web for the entirety of our information‚ whether it be for educational information or even for a simple question‚ rather than depending on our own brain and knowledge. In place of a more effective‚ slow‚ and thoughtful thinking pattern‚ our minds now expect to process information "in a swiftly moving stream of particles‚" (Source 4). This can prove to be a great issue when

Multistep Synthesis of Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone In this laboratory experiment a synthesis was performed through several separate steps. The purpose of the experiment was to synthesize tetraphenylcyclopentadienone from benzaldehyde and to run reactions on carbonyl containing compounds. There was a total of three steps that led up to the synthesis of the final product‚ tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. The first step of the experiment was the condensation of benzaldehyde to yield

Typical signs of tetanus include an increase in body temperature by 2 to 4°C‚ diaphoresis (excessive sweating)‚ an elevated blood pressure‚ and an episodic rapid heart rate. Spasms and muscle contraction last for 3 to 4 weeks‚ and complete recovery may take months. About 30% of tetanus victims die‚ most of whom are elderly patients. In developing countries‚ the mortality rate may be as high

Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to synthesise acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) by creating a reaction between acetic anhydride and salicylic acid. This was be accomplished through the use of recrystallization. Acetic anhydride and salicylic acid are mixed together‚ and then acidified by the addition of a few drops of concentrated sulfuric acid‚ which catalyzed the reaction. The percent yield is calculated to determine the effectiveness of the reaction in preparing the desired product (aspirin)

"My house has been destroyed multiple times‚" is the quotes of people who have been affected by tornadoes and hurricanes each year. At up to 150 m.p.h. (Source 4)‚ hurricanes are deadly‚ and definitely with tornadoes who sweep in at a whopping 300 m.p.h. (Source 3)! These storms are life-threatening! Their characteristics‚ cost and damage‚ and their formation have a lot to do with their danger that can approach on you when you least expect it to. If you live in a mid-western state‚ you may be in

Purpose: This experiment is used to perform a series of synthesis reactions that convert aluminum foil to alum. Alum is used in cooking‚ to treat wastewater‚ and is used in common deodorant. In this lab a series of four reactions will occur to yield alum. Calculations: Aluminum foil: 0.5035 grams Alum & Watch Glass: 21.7691 grams Watch Glass: 15.1560 grams Alum: 6.6131 gram Theoretical Yield of Alum: 2Al(s) + 2KOH(aq) + 4H2SO4 + 22H20 -> 3H2(g) + 2KAl(SO4)2 + 12H2O(s) 0.5035gAl
