Cyanide (toxin) Name: Kasheba Wright Course: Chemistry in our daily Lives INTRODUCTION Cyanide is a mitochondrial toxin that is among the most rapidly lethal poisons known to man. Used in both ancient and modern times as a method of execution‚ cyanide causes death within minutes to hours of exposure. It is the salts of hydrocyanic acid‚ it is rapidly acting chemical that can exist in various forms

or long-term torpor is an animal’s ability to adjust to cold winter temperatures and the short supply of food during these months. The animal does this by lowering its body temperature to a minimal in order to preserve energy and to slow down its metabolism . The body temperature of most animals will degrease to as low as 1˚ or 2˚C. Before the animal can start hibernating‚ he needs to collect food. The storage of food is essential for the animal to survive the deep sleep. This allows them to remain

out the brain. Using PET scans‚ researchers can show that early stages of Alzheimer’s disease has a reduction in brain metabolism in hippocampus. Masconi(2005) have developed brain-scan-based computer and found out that in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease there is a reduction in brain metabolism in the hippocampus. He also found out that early signs of reduced metabolism in hippocampus was associated with later development of Alzheimer disease. Therefore‚ PET scan is useful in finding out

birth of the interest in urban research by the IE scholars: Huang et al. [58] argue that a first idea of “urban symbiosis” was already present in Jacob 1961‚ while the term “urban metabolism” was coined by Wolman [59] in the 1960s to express how energy and material flow in and out of the city (in analogy with the metabolism of human bodies). What is certain is that into the domain of UE
