1. How do you characterize the relationship between the father and his son from the perspective of commitment or-non-commitment to Islam? How does this relationship change during the pilgrimage? Reda and his father have nothing in common because he is liberal while his father is rigid and very committed to Islam. Reda and his father clash a couple of times because of their differences in commitment to Islam. Reda is more of a secular person and shows no commitment to Islam. His father, on the other hand, is very religious and committed to the Islamic way of life. First ...

Introduction

Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) is a group of technologies that received recognition in 21 century. CCS process consists of collection and concentration of CO2 emitted from combustion of fossil fuels with further transportation to special storage locations. The reason for storing carbon dioxide away is related Greenhouse effect and its influence on global warming process. The main goal of carbon capture technologies is to stabilize the levels of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. It is expected that implementation of CCS technologies will make it possible to reduce the total emission of CO2 up to 54% (to 450 ppmv). ( ...

Abstract

Carbon capture is an essential approach for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Different plants utilize various technologies in reducing carbon dioxide emission. Some of the conventional techniques employed include oxy-fuel, pre, and post-combustion carbon capture. These approaches have a high potential for capturing carbon dioxide. However, their massive initial and implementation costs have been a challenge to plants globally. Additionally, most of them are yet to experience large scale applications. Therefore, it is essential for research and development activities to be conducted. This can ensure a reduction in the cost of production. The carbon capture technologies differ in costs. This ...

Artificial blood

Artificial blood is a derived product that acts as a substitute for the red blood cells present in the body (Sódar, et al. 2016). In comparison to true blood, the purpose of artificial blood is to transport carbon dioxide and oxygen to all parts of the body. Based on current evidence, artificial blood can be developed or prepared by recombinant biotechnology, chemical isolation, or through synthetic production (Sódar, et al. 2016). The concept of plasma in artificial blood was first introduced in the early 1600s (was also known as blood substitutes). The search for true blood substitutes ...

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution to yield 4-Bromoacetanilide

Introduction Halogenation is a common process in organic synthesis. It is used in industrial and research synthesis as halogenated compounds are used for numerous widely used goods, including plastics. The lab aimed to perform monohalogenation of acetanilide. The reaction is specific since it is performed without catalyst. The typical halogenation is realized in presence of Lewis acid. Halogens molecules are electrophilic, and do not actively react. In presence of Lewis acid, the interaction is rather active.2 The lab used catalyst-free halogenation. The acetanilide molecule contains the acylated amine. As a result, the electronic density is shifted towards the amine ...

The modern world is changing up so quickly, and getting connected with a really crucial speed. One of such sufficient processes is globalization.

Also, the simple filtering procedure was assessed for its effectivity in purifying water contaminated with soil. The quality of tap water, Fiji, and Dasani bottled waters by the content of ammonia, chlorides, iron, phosphates, total alkalinity, total chlorine, total hardness, and pH was analyzed and compared. All of the studied contaminants proved to remain in the volume of water after passing through the soil; the proposed ...

Material extraction

The mining and extraction of copper has several impacts on the environment. The extraction of copper is done in several steps and process using different technologies and mechanisms. The copper element is extracted from its ore through heating the ore using carbon. This process releases carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere. It is a well known fact that carbon dioxide gas is a greenhouse gas which result into global warming. The result of the extraction is copper full of impurities. The impure copper is then placed under further treatment to eliminate the presence of the impurities. In most cases, ...

Chlorine is the most common and effective disinfectant at the moment is. Among the chlorine-free water purification methods, ultraviolet radiation, the copper and silver ions, ozonation, the use of preparations of the active oxygen of the organic polymer are widespread.

UV-radiation of a certain wavelength and intensity, when exposed for some time to microorganisms, damages their DNA, making them incapable of reproduction. This principle is based on UV disinfection, it kills even those bacteria which ...

Summary (Heracles)

Heracles is considered a half-god; of course he was the son of the gods (Zeus) and a human mother. He is equally portrayed as the strongest man who has ever lived. He showed his extraordinary force and strength with the desire to win during his early life, for instance, when he fought a snake which slithered right inside his baby cradle (Caruth, p. 1-12). However, the most saddening incident throughout his life comes after his marriage with Princes Megara with whom they got three children. Because she cannot forgive Zeus, her husband, Hera’s jealousy prompted her to make ...

Introduction

The pressure swing adsorption principle and technology will be used in an experiment to separate the two gases in the lab. The technology is a technique used to separate two or more gases from a collection of various gases using pressure and the gases molecular attributes as well as an affinity for an absorbent material (Alonso-Vicario et al., 2010). The experiment will utilize the principle of pressure swing adsorption to separate active carbon and oxygen using hydrogen and nitrogen as catalysts. Pressure swing adsorption using two main factors in the separation of gases under pressure: the molecular attributes of ...

Externalities take place when consumers/manufacturers activities have an unintentional or indirect impact on other consumers/manufacturers without affecting prices. According to Sankar, externalities may cause positive and negative effects (6). In other words, if the consumer or a group grants certain benefits to other economic agents, the externality is positive; if any activity is disadvantageous to other groups or individuals, then the externality is negative (7). According to Stiglitz (216), “Externalities arise whenever an individual or firm undertakes an action that has an effect on other individual or firm”. The externalities phenomenon tends to have a spillover effect in the ...

I. Introduction Advances in recombinant DNA technology and bioinformatics-based data analysis have driven the explosion of structural biology in the last two decades (Kelly, Jess, and Price 119). This has resulted to the identification of at least 2000 proteins annually and a growing need in performing structural studies in these new proteins. The current trend involves the concern of analyzing protein structures close to its natural conditions (and other conditions) and of measuring their rates of structural changes, an essential factor in their biological functions. The technique of circular dichroism (CD) has gained an increasing popularity in addressing these ...

[Class title]

Summary The Autonomous Net-Zero Water Project is a water treatment project that aims to provide a sustainable water supply system. It works by gathering all waste water from a particular facility, then subjecting the water to a series of water treatment processes. After which, the water is directed back to the facility for consumption. This perpetual process of water recycling provides continuous water supply; making it possible for its users to refrain or extremely minimize tapping water from outside sources. Water recycling is not a new thing. However, the greatest challenge in making the water-recycling system sustainable ...

Shintoism and Buddhism in Japanese History

Before the spread of today’s religion, the early civilizations had different views as to how they could explain the things around them. Some would say it is the work of spirits who dwell upon plants, animals and inanimate objects while others believe in the intervention of divine beings who created the world prior to mankind. While some of these early beliefs have been forgotten in favor of newer religions, there are countries where early beliefs played heavily in the formation of the nation and even triggered a conflict to occur when a new religion was introduced to the ...

Background information

The need for clean water for use by humanity has since time immemorial been an area of concern with scientists and scholars inventing methods that prove to be more efficient than their predecessors. The ultimate goal has always been the removal of undesirable chemicals and pathogens that would, however, render the water unfit for human and industrial consumption. In today’s contemporary society, human activity has culminated into pollution of the natural environment including water catchment areas. This has therefore made water unfit for consumption thereby prompting for more cost-effective and efficient methods for purification of this natural resource. ...

Discovery of ultraviolet light

Ultraviolet radiation is very significant in the tanning individual who are interested in making their skin look like leather as well as for vampires killing, yet it cannot be seen or else felt. The question is then, how did people discover existence the existence of ultraviolet light? Although light is comprehensively abundant when it comes from its primary source the sun, and it is tough to get hold of it because it travels at very high speed than anything else globally. Since light is subsequently insubstantial, for many years, individuals managed only to collect a few frequencies without knowing ...

[Client Name] Water is a colourless and odourless liquid, and is very important for human development and survival. It covers 75% of the earth's surface and is mostly found in lakes, rivers and seas. In addition, the human body comprises 78% of water. Water is an interesting molecule and consists of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. It is covalently bonded and possesses a very interesting characteristic, i.e. polarity. Polarity ensures that water is an effective medium for the dissolution of other polar compounds. In so doing, water is an enabler for many biological reactions (“The Chemistry of ...

Background

Early scientists and nutritionists believed that the most vital nutrient in living organisms, for building and maintaining the body was the protein. The role of proteins as enzymes came into existence several years later. This was around 1926 when experiments showed that enzymes were proteins. Insulin was the first protein to be sequenced. Hemoglobin was the first structure of proteins to be resolved. Myoglobin was then resolved later.

X-ray diffraction analysis (X-ray crystallography) led to the determination of the structure of the proteins (three-dimensional structure). The purification of proteins can be made possible from cellular compounds. Several methods have ...

Introduction

Cloning is a term used to describe different methods of duplicating biological materials. Plasmids can be used to ‘clone in a gene’ and then express a given protein in mammalian cells. The type of protein used here is called AWP1 protein which is associated with PRK1. This type of protein is a universally expressed protein and the AWP1 gene is switched on during the early development of a being. The AWP1 may play a regulatory role in the mammalian signal transduction pathways. The AWP1 posses a conserved zf-A20 zinc finger domain at its C-terminal. When it is expressed in COS – 1 cells, the Myc-tagged ...
