INTRODUCTION From natural gas‚ crude oils‚ and other fossil materials such as coal‚ few intermediates are produced that are not hydrocarbon compounds. The important intermediates discussed here are hydrogen‚ sulfur‚ carbon black‚ and synthesis gas. Synthesis gas consists of a nonhydrocarbon mixture (H2‚CO) obtain- able from more than one source. It is included in this chapter and is fur- ther noted in Chapter 5 in relation to methane as a major feedstock for this mixture. This chapter discusses

Hydrocarbon Derivative: Amines Amines are a type of hydrocarbon derivative‚ and they are used in many ways in society. Several companies use amines in products such as drugs and medicines. Also‚ in nature‚ amino acids help the body make proteins‚ and amines are found in many vitamins. For example‚ DOW Chemicals “plays an important role in commonly used products found around the world” by using amines in the manufacturing of energy drinks‚ detergents‚ insulin‚ etc. This is a very large industry

Qualitative research methodologies comes from the understanding of f disciplines‚ including anthropology‚ sociology‚ psychology‚ linguistics‚ communication‚ economics‚ and semiotics. Historically‚ qualitative methodologies have been available much longer—some as early as the 19th century than the quantitative tools marketers rely on so heavily. (2014) Donald R. Cooper Quantitative research attempts precise measurement of something. In business research‚ quantitative methodologies usually measure

Formation of Hydrocarbons Types of hydrocarbons Parameters for hydrocarbon accumulation Phases of alteration of organic matter Types of kerogen Migration of hydrocarbons Five Major Types of Hydrocarbons Kerogen: Kerogen is a fine-grained‚ amorphous organic matter. It is not soluble to normal petroleum solvents‚ like carbon disulfide. Its chemical composition is 75% C‚ 10% H‚ 15% other (sulfur‚ oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ etc.). It is very important in the formation of hydrocarbons because it is what generates

Lab 8 Lab Eight: Identification of Hydrocarbons Organic Chemistry 311 Abstract: Unknown hydrocarbon K was identified by using purification‚ determination of boiling point by using the capillary tube technique‚ the calculation of density and obtained refractive index value from the Abbe-3L refractometer. The density was not useful due to an error of the machine but the boiling point and refractive index were used to confirm that the unidentified hydrocarbon K was 2‚2 Introduction Thrush

Introduction According to Craig and Smyth (2002) cited in Boswell and Cannon (2010:Chapter) “Evidence-based practice has emerged from the desire of the majority of healthcare providers (both institutions and individual) to do what is right for the patient and what will result in more good than harm.” The Nursing Council of Hong Kong has devised a Code of Ethics for an accurate representation ofNurses’ ethical responsibilities since 1999. Code of Professional Conduct and Code of Ethics for Nurses

Qualitative Analysis Qualitative is where the results give a colour that you have to match up to a colour chart‚ or have you have done to see if it is positive or negative with a description of what a positive reaction should look like. This test is less reliable as some colour or positive reaction look similar to each other or the same but by adding different chemicals. An example of qualitative would be a pH test as the result gives you a colour and then you have to match it up to the pH scale

Buston and Wight in 2010 conducted a qualitative study (in-depth interviews) to better comprehend what motivates incarcerated male young offenders to seek STIs testing and why others have not been tested. The independent variables included characteristics of the interviewees (e.g.‚ age‚ sex education‚ sexual partner history‚ contraceptive use‚ testing for STIs‚ residential care‚ religious background‚ and education level). The dependent variable was STI testing behaviors. The sample included 40

The Qualitative Paradigm The design of a research study begins with the selection of a topic and a paradigm. A paradigm is essentially a worldview‚ a whole framework of beliefs‚ values and methods within which research takes place. It is this world view within which researchers work. According to Cresswell (1994) "A qualitative study is defined as an inquiry process of understanding a social or human problem‚ based on building a complex‚ holistic picture‚ formed with words‚ reporting detailed
