environmental protection over resource extraction when the two are in conflict. Environmental protection is something that will; to just benefit the developing countries‚ but everyone in the world and generations in the future. Therefore‚ my value is Quality of Life and my criterion is Utilitarianism. Contention 1: Environmental destruction causes extinction.

Water Filtration The methods used in this experiment are simple filtration methods which are used by many water companies worldwide. In this experiment simple lab equipment was used‚ after contaminating water with various contaminants the water was filtered by using cheesecloth‚ sand‚ activated charcoal and alum. The contaminants used in the experiment are the most common and the most hazardous. They include; cleaning detergents‚ vegetable oil which has the same qualities with motor

All the reagents and solvents used for synthesizing the title compound were of Analar grade (Merck) and were used as such without further purification. The 2-naphthol derived Mannich base 1-((4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)(phenyl)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol (MPN) was synthesized according to the general procedure described in the literatures [13‚ 14]. The 2-naphthol (4.33 g‚ 0.03 mol) was dissolved in 30ml of ethanol and it was mixed with N-methylpiperizine (3.0 mL‚ 0.03 mol) by continuous stirrer at room temperature

Question 1 – Kaizen Philosophy Kaizen: Basic Concepts and key practices Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy based on gradual but ongoing and never-ending day-to-day improvement approach in all aspects of an organization‚ not only productivity. Literally Kaizen translates to English as “good change”‚ the true meaning of the word is continuous improvement implemented through positive step-by-step changes. For proper functioning Kaizen requires active participation from everybody at all levels in an organization:

tools‚ and proceeded to begin separating each ingredient. I used a magnet to separate the iron from the mixture. Then I heated the mixture in water to get the non-soluble sand out. Then I filtered out the benzoic acid after cooling it into a crystal form. Lastly‚ I allowed the water to evaporate leaving behind only the salt. If any party was interested water does not evaporate fast enough for my liking. Data: SEPARATING IRON SUBSTANCE/ITEM MASS OBSERVATIONS WEIGHING DISH .6 G MIXTURE + WEIGHING

The purpose of this lab was to determine how an excess amount of liquid‚ which was water‚ Gatorade and wine in this case‚ along with an excess amount of solute‚ which was the 7g NaCl pill‚ would affect the kidneys and the osmolarity of urine. Measurements of urine volume‚ specific gravity and chloride concentrations were recorded in order to investigate this. Our hypothesis stated that the volume of urine would increase for all groups other than the group drinking 80 ml of water along with taking

nCH3 The first step in the lab is the preparation of the solvent used in the developing chamber for thin layer chromatography. The solvent used is a 3:1 mixture of toluene and petroleum. After the developing chamber is prepared‚ it is essential to begin preparation of the unknown DNPH derivative[6]. The preparation of the 1‚2 DNPH derivative of a ketone is in fact a small organic synthesis which produces a fraction of a gram of product. The second part of the lab makes use of NMR Spectrometry

Article: “The Case for Contamination” by Kwame Anthony Appiah In “The Case for Contamination” the author Kwame Appiah analyzes and points out the many ways in which the world is becoming globalized. He uses many extensive examples to show that the world is getting ‘contaminated’. By ‘contamination’ he means that the mixture of all the innovative values and traditions are damaging and eventually destroying what our ancestors have left us. In his analysis‚ he describes the gradual transformation
