Becoming Insane? Or Simply Hearing a Story? Stranger Than Fiction‚ directed by Mark Forster‚ is an unusual movie. I personally liked the movie very much‚ but it was definitely out of the mainstream of movies today.

The book “Good to Great” is a non-fiction book written by Jim Collins. It talks about how good companies ( some were “bad” companies) changed their way of doing things and became great or successful. Collins gathered people to research on many different companies. In order to make a point‚ they used companies that were doing really well (which they called the “good to great companies”)‚ compared them with companies ( the “comparison companies”) that were once great or even greater than those good

aim of this study was to test the rate of reactivity of the enzyme catalase on hydrogen peroxide while subject to different concentrations of an inhibitor. The hypothesis was that hydrogen peroxide will be broken down by catalase into hydrogen and oxygen‚ where a higher concentration of inhibitor will yield less oxygen‚ resultant of a lower rate of reaction. Crushed potato samples of equal weight were placed in hydrogen peroxide solutions of various temperatures. The results showed that less gas was

Car manufactures are already making cars that are hydrogen powered‚ although they are either prototypes or extremely limited production runs‚ but cars such as the Honda Clarity prove that hydrogen powered cars really are not a thing of the future‚ but a thing of the present.

Each year‚ we get closer to removing the oil company’s choke hold on our wallets. It’s time to drive with a lighter purse and a cleaner environment and it’s time for hydrogen fuel. The two largest points of debate with hydrogen fuel are cost and production Hydrogen fuel is a cheaper alternative to our current source

IRON (METAL) Iron is a chemical element with the symbol Fe (from Latin: ferrum) and atomic number 26. It is a metal in the first transition series. It is the most common element (by mass) forming the planet Earth as a whole‚ forming much of Earth’s outer and inner core. It is the fourth most common element in the Earth’s crust. Iron’s very common presence in rocky planets like Earth is due to its abundant production as a result of fusion in high-mass stars‚ Like other group 8 elements‚ iron

HYDROGEN BONDING: Hydrogen bonding is a bonding type consisting of dipole and dispersion forces. A hydrogen bond is the attractive force between a hydrogen atom attached to a molecule and an atom of a different molecule. According to the Pauling scale of electro-negativities of the elements‚ it can be viewed that the three most electronegative elements in the periodical table are nitrogen‚ oxygen and fluorine. These are also called heteroatoms. The heteroatoms have a partial negative charge while
