Expansion On The Recent Discoveries Concerning Nitric Oxide
1215 Words - 5 Pages.... air, it mixes with oxygen, yielding nitrogen IV dioxide, a brown gas
which is soluble in water. These are just a few of the chemical properties of
nitric oxide. With the total life expectancy of nitric oxide being from six to
ten seconds, it is not surprising that it has not been until recently that it
was discovered in the body. The compound is quickly converted into nitrates and
nitrites by oxygen and water. Yet even its short-lived life, it has found many
functions within the body. Nitric oxide enables white blood cells to kill tumor
cells and bacteria, and it allows neurotransmitters to dilate blood vessels. It
also serves as a messenger for neurons, like a neurotra ....

Schwartau’s definition of is, “the use of in ....

Drug Identification With Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometr
771 Words - 3 Pages.... The gas chromatograph and the mass spectrometer have theories behind how their techniques work, and specific forensic applications for their instrumentation. The history and theory of the gas chromatography started over forty years ago with the invention of the capillary column. The gas chromatograph offers rapid and very high-resolution separations of a very wide range of compounds, with the only restriction that the analyzed substance needs to have sufficient volatility. The theory behind the mass spectrometer is to use the difference in mass-to-charge ratio (m/e) of ionized atoms or molecules to separate them from each other. Mass spectrometry is therefore useful for qua ....

The African Penguin
982 Words - 4 Pages.... is also called the Black-
footed Penguin or the Jackass Penguin. They are called this because of the
loud braying noise, which the little penguins make. This species is the
only species that breeds anywhere in Africa. It breeds on some twenty
islands, from Hollams Bird Island off the coast of Namibia to Bird Island
in Algoa Bay.
At one time the population of the African Penguin was quite large
but some man caused factors has drastically reduced their species. A long
time ago the early European settlers at the Cape of Good Hope realized that
penguin eggs were good for eating and over the years millions of penguin
eggs have been collected greatly reducing the pop ....

Crash Course In Density
419 Words - 2 Pages.... large airport was at Winnipeg, so
they radioed ahead and changed their course. In a few minutes, all four of the
fuel pumps had failed. The worst possible news, they were out of fuel. In a
few more minutes the engines stopped running, and all of the high tech
instruments became useless.
They realized that they could not even make it to Winnipeg. Their only
chance was an abandoned to a abandoned Air Force airstrip. Unfortunately, the
airstrip had been converted to a race track, complete with race cars, fences,
and spectators. The 767 crash landed, and, fortunately, no one was killed.
Their were many contributing factors that made this plane run out of
fuel. Fir ....
