Coconut Industry The Philippines remains as the world’s leading supplier of traditional coconut products. The industry is also finding new products and uses for this the “Tree of Life”: coco peat‚ geotextiles‚ activated carbon and virgin coconut oil. Description The coconut industry is a dominant sector of Philippine agriculture: Of the 12 million hectare of farmlands‚ 3.25 M hectare is devoted to coconut 68 out of 79 provinces are coconut areas. Over 324M bearing and non-bearing trees 3.5M coconut

The Inorganic Chemistry of Carbon Inorganic Carbon For more than 200 years‚ chemists have divided compounds into two categories. Those that were isolated from plants or animals were called organic‚ while those extracted from ores and minerals were inorganic. Organic chemistry is often defined as the chemistry of carbon. But this definition would include calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and graphite‚ which more closely resemble inorganic compounds. We will therefore define organic chemistry as the study

Polymethylmethacrylate‚ or PMMA for short‚ is a polymer consisting of the monomer methyl methacrylate that has been around since the 1930s1. PMMA is a polymer that has a high impact strength‚ is scratch and shatter resistant‚ and is relatively lightweight1. Because PMMA can also be formed into a transparent thermoplastic and has a glass transitions temperature of 130oC‚ this polymer served as a glass substitute in its early uses1. Other beneficial characteristics of Polymethylmethacrylate include

Also the DNA lesion caused by cis-platin on the 1‚2 intrastrand crosslinks between adjacent purines is an act that trans-platin cannot do when looking from a stereochemical perspective (9). Recently‚ by adding bulky ligands in replacement of the two amines on trans-platin‚ antitumor activity has been found‚ and even activity on cis-platin resistant tumors‚ suggesting that anticancer mechanism is not limited to lesion causing 1‚2 intrastrand

Purpose The purpose is to research the reactions that morphine undergoes and its importance is the studies of grade 12 students‚ as well as its uses in health‚ its effect on the environment‚ its role in a large industry of narcotics‚ and the risks and benefits associated with morphine. Morphine has been used over the course of thousands of years for both medicinal and recreational purposes it is derived from the opium poppy. The milk like liquid that seeps from a cut of the flower is what has
