death and tragedy‚ Danticat’s depictions gives us insight into just how horrific the events were that took place during the period of the novel. In Edwidge Danticat’s The Farming of Bones‚ water is viewed upon as a symbol of death vs. life and is a common theme in the novel especially in reference to the Massacre River. The Farming of Bones by Edwidge Danticat revolves around the true events that occurred in 1937 in the Dominican Republic. The dictator at the time was a man named Rafael Trujillo who

Executive Summary Intensive pig farming is an agricultural industry that operates by raising live pigs for slaughtering which will then be turned into pork for human consumption. Piggeries‚ as the firm is called‚ serve as a major food source in the Philippines‚ with the highest grossing per capita consumption among red meats. The industry is fairly attractive to investors as its high capital requirement and risky nature is effectively balanced out by the steady demand of a readily available market

The Relationship Between the Rate of Diffusion and Molecular Weight as Observed in Postassium manganate‚ Potassium dichromate‚ and Methylene Blue Elisha Padilla Group 3 Sec. X – 8L March 26‚ 20151 ABSTRACT The relationship between the rate of diffusion and the molecular weight of a substance was determined by introducing three substances (KMnO₄‚ K₂Cr₂O₇‚ C₁₆H₁₈N₃SCl) of different molecular weight to agar-water gel‚ and measuring the distance of diffusion every

The Effect of Molecular Weight on the Rate of Diffusion of Potassium permanganate (KMNO4)‚ Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and Methylene blue ¹ ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight on the rate of diffusion was determined using the Agar-water Gel Test. One drop of potassium permanganate (KMNO4)‚ potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and methylene blue were used. Each substance has a respective molecular weight of 158 g/mol‚ 294g/mol and 374 g/mol. The diameters (in millimeter) were measured
