Agent Smith

Should anyone be able to strap a potential informant “to a board with his feet above his head, his mouth and nose covered,[and pour water] over his face” (”Is Torture Effective”) in order to extract information or destroy “entire villages...to kill just a few enemies”("Napalm use in Vietnam")? Imagine being in one of these situations; on the other hand, imagine being saved from a deadly attack because of information given by a tortured prisoner or finally feeling safe because a dangerous…

In this experiment, the Law of Conservation of Mass was illustrated by performing a series of 5 reactions, including a precipitation reaction, a decomposition reaction, two redox reactions, and an acid base reaction on a copper wire, called the Copper Cycle. The initial and final mass of the copper were measured and percent recovery was calculated to demonstrate that mass wasn’t created or destroyed. The balanced equations, balanced formula-unit equations, total ionic equations, net ionic…

Becoming a Sports Agent Growing up I always wondered what was my purpose in life. I had a variety of things that I was good at, but nothing that I ever thought I was great at. I enjoyed playing sports growing up, but the statistics of making it to the national leagues was so low that a more reachable goal had to be in store for my future. My cousin once told me “Marquis you are a jack of all trades, but when will you become a king of one?” That immediately resonated with me as I began to think…

minutes An easier way to view this is in Figure 1.1 where it shows what should have been closer to the correct answers. EDTA did seem to have inhibited the reaction some, but the chelating agent, PTU, had the smallest reaction rate making copper the correct cofactor. The trend in the data is that the two chelating agents used to bind copper both had smaller reaction rates than the EDTA, used to bind Magnesium and Calcium. The color change was seen the most in the test tube containing EDTA. It…

Artificial intelligence is a topic that is not on many people’s radar. Some people think it’s a technology that won’t be achieved or mastered until the distant future, and some people think it’s nothing more than science fiction, but people don’t know that this technology is fast approaching, and it could have good and bad consequences. There are people who think artificial intelligence is the future and will have a hand and everything we do, while many other people think it could have…

Anthony Alvarado Bio 1A Chronic oxidative stress via hydroxyl radical and imbalanced redox homeostasis Redox hemostasis has been shown to be an important factor in the overall aging and neurodegeneration processes in mammalian models; such as, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. As a result, redox homeostasis has been a key point of interest in current research. Redox homeostasis is the balance between electrophiles and nucleophiles in a system, more importantly in a biological system. These…

herbicides that were used, but the most common of them being Agent Orange. Agent Orange was one of three herbicides composed of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.…

it by when they get out of the military. This paper will elaborate on what the government does or fails to do for military veterans. Some of these policies may include VA benefits for those who were involved in or with agent orange or other herbicidal chemicals. (VA.Gov) Agent orange was a chemical used to rid Vietnamese jungles of their trees and other plants that had provided cover for the enemy. (VA.Gov)…

a sports agent, it’s a perfect fit for me. As a sports agent you are tasked with the need to know how to get along with people on a personal level, you have to be able to gamble on your money situation, you have to have great sports knowledge and you have to live a lifestyle that fits in…

Flow batteries have been around since the 1970’s this technological advance in the field of energy storage and acts as a fuel cell which can provide a new and efficient energy supply. One of the biggest advantages of flow batteries is that they can practically in an instance recharge just by replacing the electrolyte liquid,while this happens it is recovering the spent materials for recharge. Several different flow batteries have been developed, including Redox, Hybrid and, Membraneless. The…
