Dr. James A. Peck, a clinical psychologist who specializes in addiction, offers the following lesson in brain chemistry: “Crystal meth forces dopamine and norepinephrine to be blasted through the brain, so when you stop using meth, there’s a definite effect on your brain, which creates the anhedonia. The jury is still out as to whether it is permanent. We do have P.E.T. scan studies showing that for some users, it takes up to two years for the brain function to return to where it was prior to…

Chemistry: Enasidenib is a first in class, a selective allosteric inhibitor of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase-2 (IDH2) inhibitor discovered at Agios Pharmaceutical, Inc. in the United States of America. Recently, on 1 August 2017, Celgene Corporation and Agios Pharmaceutical in cooperation won the approval for Enasidenib under brand name IdhifaTm for the treatment of relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia. it is a white to off-white crystalline, non hygroscopic powder existing in…

opium, substance derived by collecting and drying the milky juice in the unripe seed pods of the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum. Opium varies in color from yellow to dark brown and has a characteristic odor and a bitter taste. Its chief active principle is the alkaloid morphine, a narcotic. Other constituents are the alkaloids codeine, papaverine, and noscapine (narcotine); heroin is synthesized from morphine. Morphine, heroin, and codeine are addicting drugs; papaverine and noscapine are not.…

give you a background on freezing point and salt. Like what is freezing point and what does this affects. Also what would happen if you put salt in ice water if there is a effect to the ice and water. This paper will give background about basic chemistry of salt. Also it will give you some background on ice cream. How ice could effect ice cream. Water has the freezing point of 0 degrees Celsius. If you put a ice cube in water the rate of freezing and melting aren't changing. If you add…

Medical Aspect of Nuclear Chemistry Nuclear chemistry is a growing subfield of chemistry. Although it has also has been used for the destruction of humanity in history this paper discuss on how it has been helpful through medical aspects. Nuclear chemistry is related with radioactivity, nuclear processes, and properties. In order to build a nuclear process, radioactive elements are combined with nuclear reactors. In order to identify which chemicals should be used for medical purpose,…

My improvements and lesson plans from this semester are going to be particularly helpful for one class. The class is Integrated Physics and Chemistry (IPC). I will be teaching the physics side during my semester of student teaching. Most students in this class have Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and struggle with math. In addition to the curriculum preparation through my practicum, I feel I have a better understanding of how to scaffold lessons which will help me be a more effective…

Professor Dipak Kumar Mondal in Presidency College(University of Calcutta) and his words on the very first day of our class still resonate in my ears “Life is Chemistry, Chemistry is Life”. It is with these words etched in the core of my heart that I decided to integrate myself to the long list of devoted explorers who have made research in Chemistry as their vocation and I believe that the University of Utah would provide me with the ideal platform and exposure for helping me realise my…

for many great scientists. Through centuries of experimenting, the mid-evil era of alchemy, and many years after, Chemistry became a topic of much importance. During the 1800’s, science had become one of the most rapidly growing fields as explanations for how things work, or the technological progression allowing us to discover more. Two scientists who were at the foremost end of chemistry advancement during the mid 1800’s were Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff. The two were research professors…

heard what he had just said. I had no idea what to do with myself while I was trying to process the situation. I didn't deserve to fail because of something I couldn't control. We were well into the school year in Mr. Schmeltzer’s chemistry class learning all about chemistry. One day we were told that we were going to do a lab. Mr. Schmeltzer explained the whole lab step by step so we would know what we were doing for the next day. He showed us the lab equipment that we were to use: a…

I want to take AP chemistry because I intend to major in Biochemistry or something involved in the medical field and taking it now will help me get ahead or on track in the future because of what I’ll learn and because I get college credit for cheaper that I can transfer. I’m unable to take AP Chemistry next year because I plan to take AP Physics next year as a senior. Since AP Chemistry and AP Physics are both extremely rigorous AP classes, if I took both at the same time I would probably…
