HOW CAN BLOCK CHAIN TECHNOLOGY IMPROVE LOGISTIC PROCESSES Academic Background of the Research What could happen if all the intermediaries were to be removed from the world of logistics? What if all the transactions in this sector were to be substantiated, recorded and coordinated in an autonomous way without involving third parties? If only this was possible, then it could do away with the entire chain of complexities which has been witnessed from the global supply chains in the past. This is the new promise being extended to logistics industry by the blockchain technology. At the moment, this technology has not hit its climax because of the many challenges it has to overcome to be successfully deployed in large scale in this industry. However, the early adoption of this technology across different industries, from manufacturing to retail and finance to energy has ranked blockchain as a favorable technology for any business to achieve its full potential in future. According to Britchenko, Cherniavska & Cherniavskyi, in their research on how blockchain technology will impact logistic industry, they outlined that this technology…

 BUFFERS   A buffer is a substance that can keep constant concentrations of the hydrogen ions in a solution where a small amount of acid or base is introduced. Buffers are essential since they provide a strictly controlled pH environment and thus give a conducive environment for the investigation of biomolecules. A lab provides the controlled conditions required to research biomolecules. Phosphate buffers are widely used since they provide a condition that is closer to physiological conditions. The phosphate buffers have a pH of 6.5 to 7.5. Phosphate buffers form precipitates with ions such as Ca2+ and Mg2+, which are essential in the functioning of many biomolecules (Wilson, D.J. (2016)). Zwitterionic buffers are chemicals that contain both positive and negative charges in their species. Zwitterionic buffers have gained an extensive use in biological samples because they are very soluble in aqueous solutions and have a reduced ion effect that allows preparation of diluted buffers from stock solutions (Brown, K.A., Sharifi, S., Hussain, R., Donaldson, L., Bayfield, M.A. and Wilson, D.J. (2016)). Buffers such as Tris, HEPES, and PIPES can produce…

FAN FICTION “The night is so cold,” Mrs Halima tells his younger brother James who they are living with in the same apartment in Texas City. She has just arrived from work and was doing the dishes in the kitchen while James is watching the news in the guest room. She quickly cleans up the kitchen and keeps it orderly. Then she joins James in the guest room to watch television together.” look, is that not the president’s daughter? She looks fantastic.” She compliments the president’s daughter as she looks at James as if she was telling him something. James immediately responds in a polite sarcastic tone, “I think I should get her number sister.right?” They all laugh together, and Halima slowly wakes off her couch. She bids goodnight to her brother and heads to her bedroom. She opens the bedroom door; indeed, you would never have known the place yourself. The ceiling was whitened, and faded drab woodwork was painted white. The walls had been coloured a beautiful soft green. Back of the counter, a series of shelves glassed…

The tectonic plates The Earth is hot planate sailing through the cold universe. Most of the rocks in the interior of the Earth are warm to flow. The Earth’s surfaces, though, are laid-back by the cold world. The acquainted rocks of the surface of the planate are rigid and stiff. The crisp external layer of the Earth’s surface, which grips together as a firm shell, is not made of one solid piece. However, the shell I have broken into several separate pieces that always slide about atop the movable interior. The tectonic plates are in gesture. The moving mantle under, and their gestures drive them. A multifaceted puzzle of the plate précises them crashes about the globe. Seafloor spreading is a regular course at work at divergent plate borders, foremost to formations of new ocean flow. By way of the two tectonic plates gradually discrete, melted material goes up from the inside to fill the openings. In the process, the volcanic landscape of a mid-ocean ridge is formed sideways During the volcanic process, new oceanic crust develops, which slowly goes…

The Importance of Chemistry in Nursing Chemistry is the science that focuses on the composition and properties of various compounds or substances, including different forms of matter and how they interact with each other. Nursing and chemistry are inseparable as chemistry complements the nursing profession (Baum & Hill, 1978). Chemistry is important in nursing, for it helps nurses to understand the composition of the compounds, their functions, and the side effects of each medication. Chemistry also helps the nurses to administer medication to patients and respond to any effects of the medications appropriately. Understanding the composition of the medicines and their effects on the patients is a piece of critical knowledge in nursing. Nurses work closely with physicians to care for the sick in the hospital, administering drugs, and ensuring that patients take them as per the prescriptions. On the same note, nurses have to understand the health implications of the medications on the patients before they can be administered (Baum & Hill, 1978). Chemistry provides the nurses with an objective analysis of the reasons physicians prescribe certain drugs to…

The FBI files Introduction In 1997, The FBI files were aired as a TV series having case studies of forensic science. The episode of focused in the study is the Death Grip found in season two of the series. These awards emanated from being the best movies to portray the human character in the television and film. During the awards, the particular detective had appeared on the screen approximately 254 times. The exciting fact is how the contemporary era shows detective talents compared to 125 years ago. The San Diego serial Killer is famous for killing 35 to 40 prostitutes in the area and placing them in plastic bags later disposing of in the dumpster. The movie comes in handy to adapt new detective ideologies and strengthening of the national identity. Most of the people have recommended the story terming it as “Powerful,” where it asserts the idea of culture to the imperialist. The research provides an analysis of major themes evident in the film, like the crimes focused on the films, forensic analysis, and various ways of solving crimes.…

Paranthropus Paranthropus is among the family of a robust australopithecine. In their adaptation to the diet they ate, they had a sizeable megadont cheek teeth associated with thick enamel and focused their chewing in the back of the jaw (Ungar & Grine, 1991). They possessed a large zygomatic arch which allowed the passage of large chewing muscles to the jaw and gave Paranthropus robustus individuals their face being full and dish-shaped. They also had a sizeable sagittal crest that provided them with a large area to anchor the chewing muscles to their skull. Their solely tooth and face size offered them the adaption to grind down tough, fibrous foods. It is therefore presumed that Paranthropus robusts’ diet was tough vegetation because they had extensive wear comprised of molars and premolars, enamel chipping in posterior teeth and massive bone accumulation around the roots of their molars and premolars teeth. Also, P. robustus was a seed predator and was capable of side to side grinding of the teeth. This is due to their anterior dentition that had tough enamel for grinding. This…

Candidate Statement Name: I am applying to the Ph.D. program at the University of Maryland, College Park, to further my academic interest in the broad field of geochemistry, learn new skills relevant to my interests, and enhance my research acumen overall in the process. I have had a keen eye towards the sector of geochemistry ever since the very introduction to its underlying foundations. Chemistry has always been a strong suit in my secondary studies, and Geology gave me a drastic overview of the functioning of earth as a system. Geochemistry seems like a beautiful marriage of both these topics on the whole. Although the fundamentals of geochemistry, including the tenets of cosmochemistry and igneous geochemistry, were fascinating, my deep-seated interest was always in the field of low-temperature geochemistry. The range and variety of applications of low-temperature geochemistry make it perfect for conducting a range of studies in various fields. Kerogen and hydrocarbon formation studies, mineral precipitation and weathering studies, sediment diagenesis studies, and hydrologic studies are all major topics in the field of low-temperature geochemistry. My motivation was to…

Quantum mechanics Quantum mechanics is one of the major branches of physics. Physics, as a discipline, is a science that deals with study observed natural phenomena about matter and energy. The definition is a science. Eleven branches of physics have profoundly enriched most of the technology used today. The eleven core branches are Classical physics, Modern physics, Nuclear physics, Atomic physics, Geophysics, Biophysics, Mechanics, Acoustics, Optics, Thermodynamics, and Astrophysics. Mechanical physics is a branch which deals with motion and energy changes denoted as the force on the dynamics of the study. There are two branches of mechanical physics; Classical mechanics and Quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics deals with the behavior of microscopic particles like neutrons, protons, and electrons (Alsaleh, 2017). Quantum mechanics have five significant areas of study quantum field theory, Schrödinger equation, scattering theory, quantum statistical mechanics, and Path integral formulation. The core concepts that make quantum mechanics a significant discipline in modern technology include black-body radiation, free particle, wave property, wave-particle duality, Hilbert space, quantum harmonic oscillator, and quantization. In general, the primary feature of quantum mechanics and its…
