This case study describes what happens when a health district merges four laboratories into one unit due to external driving forces for change‚ primarily the government funding cuts. Although the intention was to develop one centralized‚ efficient‚ and high volume centre‚ the inattention to the ‘people issues’ and the cultural differences of the work units results in chaos. The recently hired laboratory manager‚ Claude‚ has implemented several stopgap measures intended to address the work load issues

Chemistry Ozone Depletion Ozone depletion describes two distinct but related phenomena observed since the late 1970s: a steady decline of about 4% per decade in the total volume of ozone in Earth’s stratosphere (the ozone layer)‚ and a much larger springtime decrease in stratospheric ozone over Earth’s polar regions. The latter phenomenon is referred to as theozone hole. In addition to these well-known stratospheric phenomena‚ there are also springtime polartropospheric ozone depletion events. The

Chemistry (the etymology of the word has been much disputed)[1] is the science of matter and the changes it undergoes. The science of matter is also addressed by physics‚ but while physics takes a more general and fundamental approach‚ chemistry is more specialized‚ being concerned with the composition‚ behavior (or reaction)‚ structure‚ and properties of matter‚ as well as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions.[2] It is a physical science which studies various substances‚ atoms‚ molecules

Nuclear Chemistry: The Good vs. the Ugly The definition for nuclear chemistry is the application of chemical techniques to the solution of problems in nuclear physics. This includes the discovery of naturally occurring and synthetic radioactive elements and the results of nuclear fission. There are both pros and cons in nuclear chemistry. People believe that nuclear chemistry is bad for the environment but there are a lot of great things that can come out of this. Things like medical uses‚ food

What is Alternative Fuels Alternative Fuels come from resources other than petroleum. Alternative fuel uses sources like corn‚ vegetable oils‚ animal fats‚ natural gas‚ propane and hydrogen. Various Alternative Fuels are produced domestically‚ thus reducing our dependence on imported oils and some are derived from renewable sources. Alternative fuel produces less pollution than normal gasoline or diesel (U.S. Department of Energy‚ n.d. ). Alternative fuel is produce for a variety of vehicles

Lab #3 January 30‚ 2012 1. Title: Laboratory Techniques and Measurements 2. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to learn laboratory techniques and to how to measure precisely. During this lab I will learn how to measure length‚ temperatures‚ volume‚ density‚ and mass using laboratory equipment. I will be using laboratory equipment to prepare dilutions and calculate them while using an algebraic formula. 3. Procedure: In order to perform this lab I needed the following materials:

2Al2O3(l) 4Al(l) + 3O2(g) Oxygen is given off at the positive carbon anode. Carbon dioxide is also given off at the carbon anode because hot oxygen reacts with the carbon anode to form carbon dioxide gas. Carbon + oxygen carbon dioxide C(s) + O2(g) CO2(g) The carbon anodes slowly disappear because each molecule of carbon dioxide which is given off takes a little piece of carbon away with it. The carbon anodes need to be replaced when they become too small. Extraction
