Introduction to Use of Silica in Sampling of Plant Compounds

Liquid chromatography is the most widely accepted and fundamental methodology for the separation and sampling of plant compounds. Liquid chromatography has the abilities to separate and sample a huge variety and diverse range of organic compounds ranging from proteins and peptides to small molecule protein drugs. The liquid chromatography is a technique that works by placing or injecting a minute volume of liquid sample into a silicon tube which is packed with porous substances or particles. This phase is called the stationary phase. The next phase is the extraction phase where the individual compounds present in the sample are transported over a packed tube ...

A semiconductor laser is a device that converts electrical energy into light. It consists of a semiconductor material, whose conductivity is between that of conductors and insulators. These kinds of a laser usually consist of two basic components, an optical amplifier and a resonator (“Semiconductor Laser”, n.d.). The amplifier, referred to as the gain medium, is made of a direct-bandgap semiconductor material, such as gallium arsenide or indium phosphide. The amplifier can interact with light by absorbing and emitting photons (“Laser”, n.d.). The amplitude of stimulated light emission is greater than that of light absorption, and the light is therefore amplified (“Laser”, n.d.). The ...

Social conflict theories claim that society is in a state of perpetual conflict due to competition for limited resources (Johnson 164). According to conflict theory, the wealthy use force and power to maintain class status. The rich exploit the poor in a destructive pursuit of creating and maintaining wealth. Once in power, they create institutions, governments and systems that maintain and strengthen their power, and perpetuate the exploitation of the poor (Knapp 280). Social conflict theory focuses on the socioeconomic inequality in society, and usually offer criticism of established power structures, such as governments, economic systems or entities like the “military ...

INTERNAL MANAGEMENT

Human Resource Management (HRM) went through the process of transformation over the past decades, which transformed it from supportive administrative function into a strategic element of the companies. This process was majorly determined by the changing and increasingly complex external business landscape, where the competitive advantage of the companies, based on price and product availability could no longer sustain and guarantee long-term profitability and effectiveness (Boxhall and Purcell, 2011; Pravin, 2010). With that in mind, more and more organizations started to realize the role of human capital as a core strategic asset and resource of the organizations. This realization brought into ...

One important feature of the U.S. health care system that is of particular interest to me is nurse staffing.
