What are Aromatic Hydrocarbons?

There are much type of hydrocarbons and its there characteristic each of the hydrocarbons. An aromatic hydrocarbon is one type of hydrocarbons. Aromatic hydrocarbons are a class of chemical substances which are characterized by having molecular structures which are called benzene rings. Many aromatic hydrocarbons are toxic, and they are unfortunately among the most widespread of organic pollutants. A hydrocarbon is any chemical compound which contains only hydrogen and carbon. In fact, not all aromatic hydrocarbons smell; the scent was thought to be linked to the benzene ring, but it is actually caused by impurities but the name as stuck, as often happens in science even after new information on a topic has emerged, to minimize confusion. Each carbon atom has four electrons; two electrons link up with neighbouring carbon atoms, while one goes to a hydrogen atom. The fourth is what is known as a delocalized electron, meaning that it is not directly involved with a specific atom. Benzene rings are often drawn as hexagonal shapes with a circle in the middle to represent these delocalized electrons. Benzene happens to be a particularly toxic form of aromatic hydrocarbon. These aromatic hydrocarbons are created through incomplete combustion, which is why they are so widely distributed in the natural environment. An aromatic hydrocarbon may also be known in the abbreviated form of AH or as an arene.

Petroleum (Crude Oil)

Petroleum is mineral source that we must use in our daily. In every day, we must use petroleum resource in doing anything job. Crude oil like this blob of petroleum washes up on the beach at Coal Oil Point near Santa Barbara, California. It comes from natural seepage offshore. To know the aspect of crude oil is huge thicknesses of coarse sediment are laid down from the erosion of the rapidly uplifting Santa Ynez Mountains; at the same time, the waters of the channel are tremendously fertile, raining large amounts of dead organic matter onto the sediments. The sediments become rock, and over a few hundred thousand years, more or less, the organic matter within them is slowly cooked into petroleum. The same tectonic compression that pushes up the mountains crumples and tilts the seafloor rocks, and the crude oil finds openings in the coarse sandstone to trickle upward. If it reaches the sea floor, globs of it rise into the water and float ashore, fouling surfers and seals alike. If not, it may pool in oil-saturated zones where the rocks are folded into dome-shaped traps. Oil seeps occur on land, too, although there the product is usually asphalt.

Sir Isaac Newton
Scientist and Mathematician,
1642 - 1727

This article is about Sir Isaac Newton background which is he is a popular scientist and mathematician in past of time. Newton was accomplishments in mathematics, optics, and physics laid the foundations for modern science and revolutionized the world that an important person for this world. He was born between 1642 or 1643 in Woolsthorpe, England. In education, Newton was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge where he lived from 1661 to 1696. During this period he produced the bulk of his work on mathematics. In 1696 he was appointed Master of the Royal Mint, and moved to London, where he resided until his death. Newton invented integral calculus, and jointly with Leibnitz, differential calculus and also calculated a formula for finding the velocity of sound in a gas. He defined the laws of motion and universal gravitation which he used to predict precisely the motions of stars, and the planets around the sun in impact on theoretical astronomy. Newton found science a hodgepodge of isolated facts and laws, capable of describing some phenomena, but predicting only a few. Newton died in London on March 20, 1727 and was buried in Westminster Abbey, the first scientist to be accorded this honour.


Alexander Graham Bell
Inventor
1847 -1922

Alexander Graham Bell is person that emerge a revolution for a communication device for "transmitting vocal or other sounds telegraphically.” He is so famous inventor in this world which is as icon to for all inventors. Bell was born on March 3, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Bell's telephone grew out of improvements he made to the telegraph. He had invented the "harmonic telegraph" which could send more than one message at a time over a single telegraph wire. Then, along with his assistant Thomas A. Watson, Bell constructed instruments that transmitted recognizable voice-like sounds. In 1876, three days after he received his first patent, Bell and Watson, located in different rooms, were about to test the new transmitter described in the patent. The first telephone company, Bell Telephone Company, was founded on July 9, 1877. After that, he invented the photophone-transmission of sound on a beam of light, which was a precursor of fiber-optics. He also invented techniques for teaching speech to the deaf. Bell was granted 18 patents in his name, and 12 he shared with collaborators.

Vietnamese-American Scientist Wins Alfred P.Sloan Fellowship

There are many types of field such as physics, chemistry, molecular, biology, medicine, and mathematics. There are also several of fellowship will be given to another scientists. Alfred P.Sloan fellowship is the one of fellowship will be received by scientist which success in their studying and researching. The fellowship provides for two years to be used to studying anything. Dr Nguyen Thuc Quyen, Vietnamese-American scientist was received an Alfred P.Sloan scientific research fellowship.

The Alfred P.Sloan Foundation fellowship are open to professors at universities and colleges in the US and Canada in field of science, mathematics and economics. Dr Thuc Quyen is the one of the scientist that focuses on research into organic semiconductor. Before that, she was received other important award such as the Camille Dryfus Teacher Scholar, Plous Award in field of chemistry. From my opinion, an Alfred P.Sloan is the good fellowship can be given to another scientist to help them used it studying anything in which there are interested in any field. Thus, we can make them who received fellowship or win award such as Nobel Prizes as our models to achieve goals in any field like them.


China Evasive of Number of Student Killed in Quake

An earthquake is very dangerous to people because it cause so much destruction and death. There are many damage and people injured in earthquakes. It will be happen in different ways. Some country was involved in earthquakes. China evasive on number of student killed in quake because they were unsure the exact number of student victims.

88,000 people were dead or missing, 375,000 were injured and left more than five million homeless in earthquakes. There is also around 14,000 schools suffered damage in the earthquakes. The number of protest parents about their child that dead in quake were increase because they cannot find the exact number of student victims although 10 month later after earthquakes. For instance, the parents are very angry and suffered because of dead children. Hence, earthquake makes people fear because there are many damages because of it.

Let's take care of our mental health

This article is about how American people take care of mental health in their life. This problem was being a common case in there and people in America were habitual when they hear about this case. In this article, the author suggests a few suggestions that can help people handle their mental from having trouble.

The suggestion like try to form an implement wellness program that people will feel respected. Then, there are also a company’s offers some free psychological assistance to their employees which is the employees always be stress in their job and can be close with mental problem. While people will have the mental problem, there must have a mass violence on campus, a mass violence at workplace and can be close in crime. Thus, I recommend public to keep professional by taking care of our mental health that be good for evade from various trouble.

Effects of Coffee and Tea on Diabetes

In this world, we know that common beverage like coffee and tea is popular to drink for all people in this world. However, there are some effects that can bring it on diabetes. Based on the article, the research shown that men who drank 6 cups of coffee a day reduced their chances of developing type-2 diabetes by half, and women who drank the same amount cut their risk by 30 percent. In earlier studies, Dutch researchers discovered that there are compounds in coffee that aid the body's metabolism of sugar. Their study involved 17,000 men and women in the Netherlands.

The theory is that the beneficial chemicals are able to offset the damage done by the caffeine. Tea also has an effect on diabetes. Drinking tea can improve insulin activity up to 15 times, and it can be black, green or oolong. Herbal teas don't have any effect. The active compounds don't last long in the body, so you would have to drink a cup or more of tea every few hours to maintain the benefit. Thus, I recommend the people to don’t always drink coffee and tea for our health.

Chapter 1 : How An Antarctic Worm Makes Antifreeze And What That Has To Do With Climate Change

The article showed how an Antarctic worm makes antifreeze and what that has to do with climate change. Two Brigham Young University are reporting hardy worm that withstands its cold climate by cranking out antifreeze in Antarctic. Other that, the genes the worm can to kick in its antifreeze system can be useful information. In his research, Adam told that another species of nematode plays a large role in the amount of carbon cycled through the soil. Whereupon, fluctuations in temperature are diminishing the warm population.
After that, Adams and Adhikari take the next step with their analysis of the genes of their latest subject, a species of nematode that lives in wetter areas of Antartica’s interiar. These genes that the worm uses to put its environment means it is likely going to flourish as Antartica gets wetter, Adams says, while other nematode species diminish. That’s how this molecular-lever research ties back into predicting how the composition and distribution of soil species will change in response to climate change. The research is funded by the National Science Foundation : Diana H.Wall of Colorado State University is also a co-author on the paper.

Chapter 2 : Scientist Find Black Gold Amidst Overlooked Data

The article talk about scientist find black gold amidst overlooked data. Recently, scientist found black gold bubbling up from on otherwise undistinguished mass of ocean imagery. They found that they could detect oil seeping naturally from the seafloor of the Gulf of Mexico by examining streaks amid the reflected sunlight on the ocean’s surface. The new technique could provide a more timely and cost-effective means to survey the ocean for oil seeps, to monitor oil slicks, and to differentiate human-induced spills from seeps. Using camera and of the light reflection, oil creates contrasting swaths that can show up in airborne images as either or darker than the surrounding waters.
Hu actually happened upon the oil imagery while looking for signs of harmful algal blooms commonly referred to as “red tide” in the western Gulf of Mexico. Examining MODIS images, he kept noticing streaks across the sun glint reflections. The new method is not perfect, as cloud cover or a lack of sun glint can limit its use. Hu and colleagues suggest it may be best used as a complement to SAR, which penetrates cloud cover and can be tilted to get the necessary imaging angle.

CHAPTETR 9:Scientists "wall paper peeling mystery"

According in science daily we know that the system for controlled tear experiments an adhesive film is glued to a surface, two slits are cut and the system than provides a steady pull on the tab. By analyzing these observations, the physicists have shown that the shape of the flaps is triangle with an angle depending on three characteristics of the adhesive material, its adhesion, its flexibility and its resistance to tearing.
The researchers have put together a formula which allows the characterization of one of these properties based on the other two and on a simple measurement of the angle of the triangle. Materials engineers could use these results in industry to calculate one of the three properties when other two are known. This could be particularly useful for the characterization of ultra-thin films.Which is difficult to manipulate and which are basic elements in micro-or nano-system.


CHAPTER 10:Scientist suggests use rocket-powered water gunto blow away space junk

According to a report by Fox News,the aerospace engineer in question is Jim Hollopeter,who in the 1980s helped design rockets that shot into orbit.
Bits of spent rocket boosters, old exploded satellites and tools dropped by space-walking astronauts are just some of the trash racing along in the near-vacuum of space.The volume of man-made space debris has grown so large. The crash prompted Hollopeter to refine designs for a concept he had long toyed with: Using aging rockets loaded with water to spray orbiting junk.
This idea is that the extraterrestrial shower would gradually knock refuse down toward the atmosphere, where it would burn up, as would the launcher. The water would turn to steam.According to Heiner Klinkrad, who runs the European Space Agency's Space Debris Office in Darmstadt, Germany, "We need to treat space like a national park - carry out what you carry in."

(EXPERTS USE NANOTECH TO DELIVER ANTI-CANCER GENES)

British scientists said, they had developed a treatment that transports anti-cancer genes selectively into cancer cells using nanotechnology. The therapy has so far but the aim is to test it in humans within two years. It would provide a highly targeted mechanism for delivering cancer-fighting gene therapy. When it packaged anti-cancer genes in very small particles that are only taken by cancer cells, leaving healthy cells unharmed and the genes force the cell to produce proteins that can kill the cancer.

It also approach may be particularly useful for people with cancers that are inoperable because they are close to vital organs such as the brain. As a results therapy is viewed as promising area of research for treating cancer and other disease, but genes to exactly the right place in the body is a major challenge.

In Paris , the scientist released the 300-million year old brain. The first time that soft tissue from such an ancient fossil has ever been seen. The brain was found in the skull of fish called an iniopterygian, an relative of shark and another latter-day species called the ratfish. Iniop terygians were once common place in the world’s oceans.

Usually fossil are inevitably flattened because of the weight of layers, and soil or rock that accumulate on the dead animal over million of years, the brain has a large lobe for vision but a reduced area for auditory input and it together with the position of the ear canals, suggests the iniopterygian could hear side-to-side movements but not up-and-down ones.

SHIPPING POLLUTION MORE THAN A DROP IN THE OCEAN

A US scientific study is pointing the finger at the global shipping industry as a major contributory to climate change. The ships running under flags of convenience have been exposed in reports like the Ships of Shame inquiry as being unsafe for crews and polluting the ocean. Now scientists have found every year commercial ships emit 1 million kilograms of particle pollution into the air. The interesting with ship is it actually burning really low-quality fuels. While, the effect the pollution from the ships are small enough to be breathed in to human lungs and they have been shown by epidemiological studies to be associated with increased incidences of breathing illnesses, heart illnesses and even premature death.

They believe the quick-charging batteries could open up new applications, including better batteries for electric cars. After five years, ceder and colleagues discovered that lithium ions travel through tunnels accessed from the surface of the material. Using their new processing technique, the team made a small battery that could be full charged in 10 to 20 second. Ceder thinks the material could lead to smaller, lighter batteries because less material is needed for the same result.

Walking in the countryside is good for the brain as well as the body.

Scientists have shown that ‘interacting with nature’, even in the middle of winter, boosts memory and concentration levels. In contrasts, a walk through busy streets, perhaps shopping for sales bargains, has no improving effect on the brain at all. The research was carried out at the University of Michigan. One group was sent out on a 50 minute walk through streets lined with office buildings and busy with traffic while the other took a secluded, tree-lined route. The result showed that those who took the ‘nature route’ improved their short term memory by 20 per cent. There were no improvements after walking down city streets.

Metabolic inflammation is a chronic, low grade condition consisting of inflammatory-like responses at the molecular level. It’s thought it has many consequences including causing cellular dysfunction, which can decrease the regulation of several psychological processes, including metabolism. Metabolic inflammation may also be at the core of many chronic, obesity-related metabolic disorders that are so common today.

At 12 February in BBC News, a group of international scientist has reinforced warnings genetically modified food may be damaging to health. The 20 independent scientists have signed a memorandum in support of Arpad Pusztai who was forced to retire last year over his revelations about the effect of biologically altered potatoes on laboratory rats. An expert on plant toxins, he was suspended by the research institute in a Aberdeen and did not have his annual contract after he publicised his findings on British television.
The result at the very least raise the suspicion that genetically modified potatoes may damage the immune system. We can imagine a doomsday scenario. The immune system of the population was weakened, then the mortality would be increased many times. He found the international organs and immune systems of rats was altered by the presence of an ad additional gene. It may be that in GM food a drug delivery system has been created, delivery something you didn’t want to. Prime Minister Tony Blair has rejected calls for a moratorium on GM food saying there is a rigorous process before they reach supermarket shelves in the UK.

Her story is after graduating from Indiana University, Sahtouris has done anything and everything she can. She completed her fellowship at the American Museum of Natural History before becoming a United Nations consultant on indigenous peoples and science writer for a TV series. Scientist often don’t recognize that their basic concepts of universe are not facts, but beliefs in a given cultural and historical context.
Theories built upon these foundational beliefs are influenced by them, and in turn affect humanity's belief about our world and us. She also delivered talks at the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry and University Malaya's Centre for Civilization Dialogue, co-sponsors of Sahtouris' lectures.
