Chemical kinematics is the branch of chemistry that deals with the study of reaction rates or even speed of reaction and their mechanics. The kinetic studies not only help us to determine the reaction rates but also does describe the conditions by which the reaction rates can be altered. Besides this the mechanism governing the reactions could also be predicted on the basis of logical kinetic data. During the course of study we all come across a wide variety of chemical reactions having different rates. In thermodynamics we studied that the decrease in free energy is quite helpful in predicting the feasibility of chemical reactions. However, knowledge of free energy change of reaction[..]

On the sea floor, over 10,000 feet below us, lies a world very different from ours. The sheer depth of the sea floor ensures that few can unravel the mysteries it contains, as even catching a glimpse is no simple task!

Immersion also means that they have to engineer their life, at least for a short period of time to learning French. This can be done by following the other points[..]

As most of us are aware, mining is one of the most environment unfriendly industries. Mining can seriously affect land, air and even water systems. The greatest challenge confronting the mining industry today is to find ways of extracting and processing mineral and metal with minimum damage to our ecosystem. The adverse environmental impacts of mining operation starts with mineral exploration, continues throughout the extraction and subsequent processing and at times persist even after the entire operations are over. Mining can cause serious land degradation, large scale denudation of forest cover, weakening of biodiversity, pollution of air, water and soil. The fall out can extend well[..]

Lots of people are under the impression that the end of the world will occur in 2012. Will it? What will really occur if this happens though? There’s debate on a lot of this. The destruction of the earth by a celestial body is one of these theories. This could be a so-called black hole coming too near our solar system. Yet others believe that the so-called Planet X called Nibiru will make a retuen after a long orbital path around the sun. They reckon that this Planet X will be passing so close to our own planet that its gravitational pull will cause all the damage. An asteroid slamming into the earth is another theory. But scientists have stated that there are no known asteroids[..]

A recent article featured in FASEB Journal shows that antioxidants, largely found in plant-based foods, might be H1N1 influenza’s Achilles heel, preventing H1N1 virus to invade and colonize our lungs. In addition, the research conducted by Sadis Matalon and colleagues shows that antioxidants can help in the treatment of H1N1 influenza. The researchers discovered that H1N1 virus contains a protein called M2, which destroys or damages the epithelial cells of our lungs by removing liquid from inside, promoting the early stages of pneumonia and other lung problems. In order to make this discovery, they conducted the experiment in three steps. First, they injected the lung protein alone[..]

ToThe first two years of life are thought of as the sensory motor stage of development. Thismeans that infants, babies and toddlers learn about their environment, their family, andthemselves through their physical senses and their movement experiences. Crawlers and toddlers can move around a room using their natural curiosity to explore and manipulate everything in their path. Infants, who are much less mobile, rely on caregivers to provide them with sensory stimulation and movement experiences. Adults, who actually become educational consultants for infants, can enrich the learning experiences by providing appropriate toys and props to stimulate the infant’s visual, auditory, and[..]

Psychologist Kathleen Fox, researcher from Carleton Management School in University of Minnesota, found that people would feel satisfaction when they think of money. Based on other research which is that satisfaction can enhance the tolerance of pain, Fox began to consider whether the money can reduce the pain. Despite the pain had been studied for many years, but scientists had failed to figure out why people feel the pain and endurance is quite different. For example, supposed 1 to 10 as a measure of the degree of pain, for a people, the degree of pain is four, but it may be the eight for another man. In addition, the same individuals and the same pain, but at the different situation,[..]
