The term ‘nova’ is the Latin name for a new star and was first used in 1573 by Tycho Brahe, a Danish astronomer. No matter how bright a new star can be, its brightness lasts for a span of weeks and then fades to obscurity. A novae normally occurs in binary systems where a normal star transfers matter onto a white dwarf. One of the major processes that occur is the piling of hydrogen onto the dwarf an aspect that generates heat. The heating continues especially on the outer layer as the dwarf ignites in a runaway. This causes a thermonuclear reaction that blows off the accumulated hydrogen ...

THESIS: Laws on gun control are emplaced purely on cause and effect basis. When in actual fact more importance should be attached to the right to own a gun as opposed to the potential harm gun ownership can inflict.

(P1) Gun control laws are increased or decreased in regards to their relationship with crime. If gun control decreases gun violence which common sense may dictate it should be increased but if it doesn’t it’s useless.
(P2) Gun controls effect on crime is arguable either way as countries like the UK has a complete ban on hand guns and ...

Introduction

One of the classes of chemical complexes whose coordination chemistry has generated a lot of interest is the bidentate phosphines. This can be attributed to the fact that this class of ligands facilitates the combination of phosphorus atoms that have strong metal bonds with atoms from donor groups that are more labile in nature. Examples include Nitrogen atom from the aminophosphines donor group or an Oxygen atom from etherphosphines. This is unlike hard donors that are weak and basic like MeOH and H2O that do not have good binding with transitional metals including Rhenium. Due to this fact, complexes formed from ...

Mee then goes on to state “most people, most of the time, want peace in the world, and they ...

Introduction

The Anti-Markovnikov process in organic chemistry generally involves addition reaction method of an electrophilic substituent, HX to an alkene or alkyne compounds, in such a way that the Hydrogen atom in the HX electrophile are chemically bonded to the carbon atom containing the least amount of Hydrogen attached to it. This addition process commonly uses catalysts or additive compounds in order to hasten the reaction since the process is quite expensive and toxic in nature. Furthermore, there is also a limited number of reactions involved in using the Anti-Markovnikov addition, making its research more difficult to expand and develop.

Question 1

A community is composed of a set of individuals. In order for it to develop, each individual should be socially conscious and responsible towards the society, as it is a core of their existence. Social responsibility according to Vanasupa is about refining the quality of relations with key stakeholders. Vanasupa further states that individuals have societal obligations to fulfill and in that way harm or help themselves or others. Engaging in acts that may impair oneself or others should actually not be classified as a social responsibility. It is more of being irresponsible and may bring retrogression to the contemporary society.

When an armed attack takes place, eyewitnesses usually focus on the weapon and ignore the appearance of the perpetrator, to the extent that they are unable to remember his or her face accurately afterwards. Many studies have showed that seeing a gun makes eyewitnesses less reliable, because they tend to focus on the weapon, rather than the face or particularities of the criminal. These studies often concluded that this is an automatic response generated by fear or surprise at the unexpected sight of the weapon (Pickel, Ross & Truelove, 2006). In their study, Pickel, Ross & Truelove (2006) investigated the psychological ...
