Medicine \ Microbiology Careers The need for qualified microbiologists continues to grow‚ both for basic research and practical applications. Many microbes have yet to be discovered. In addition‚ microbiologists are still studying how the known microbes function. As a result‚ the field of microbiology has virtually unlimited potential. Microbiologists are needed across many industries‚ including in academic‚ technology‚ industrial and environmental organizations. Several career paths exist for

Gas Chromatography (GC) Definition: Gas chromatography is a physical method of separation in which the components to be separated are distributed between two phases‚ one being a stationary bed of large surface area‚ and the other a gas that percolates through the stationary bed. When the stationary phase is a solid‚ the separation process is more precisely called gas-solid chromatography. Introduction: Gas Chromatography is a technique widely used to separate complex mixtures of substances. Compounds

In the 18th and 19th centuries scientists wrestled with identifying and describing the nature of the “stuff” that produced change. One concept that became popular for a while was that of “caloric” (what we now call heat). “Caloric was originally conceived of as a quantity that would flow from a hotter object to a cooler one that would warm up as a result. It answered the need for a way for the cause of warming to get from here to there. Not only did caloric serve as a cause for warming‚ it

The gifts of chemistry are a boon to mankind. Its applications in home and industry are many. Right from purified drinking water and motor car to cane sugar and mobile phone‚ all these have been made possible only through processes in chemistry at some stage or other of production. New discoveries‚ processes‚ and products are an integral part of this fascinating discipline. It offers a fertile ground for those endowed with intellectual curiosity and a passion for scientific research. you must

Chemistry Review (mid-term) 1. Use the equation for atomic mass to answer the following questions. (http://johnheilchem10.escuelacampoalegre.wikispaces.net/file/view/average+atomic+mass+calculations+-+3.pdf) 1. Argon has three naturally occurring isotopes: argon-36‚ argon-38‚ and argon-40. Based on argon’sreported atomic mass‚ which isotope do you think is the most abundant in nature? Explain. 2. Copper is made of two isotopes. Copper-63 is 69.17% abundant and it has a mass of 62.9296 amu.

Chemistry Ozone Depletion Ozone depletion describes two distinct but related phenomena observed since the late 1970s: a steady decline of about 4% per decade in the total volume of ozone in Earth’s stratosphere (the ozone layer)‚ and a much larger springtime decrease in stratospheric ozone over Earth’s polar regions. The latter phenomenon is referred to as theozone hole. In addition to these well-known stratospheric phenomena‚ there are also springtime polartropospheric ozone depletion events. The

What is nuclear medicine? Nuclear medicine is a division of medical imaging that detects and treats diseases and irregularities in the body such as cancer and neurological illnesses through the use of radioactive chemicals. The techniques used in nuclear medicine allow physicians to attain knowledge about patient conditions without the invasion of personal space through procedures such as biopsies. The equipment and machines used within this branch are important for research as they allow for a better

tribe there were shamans who would ‘exorcise ill people’ demons’ and apothecary. They had medicine men who were shamans and witch-doctors. They would provide supernatural treatments like charms‚ spells and amulets to ward off evil spirits. If someone was ill the medicine man would initiate a ceremony over the patient where they would use magic formulas prayers and drumming. People thought that the medicine men could contact the spirits or Gods so people looked up to them. They used healing clays
