Essays on Science

“Mimicry in colonial and postcolonial literature is most commonly seen when members of a colonized society (say, Indians or Africans) imitate the language, dress, politics, or cultural attitude of their colonizers (say, the British or the French)“. Mimicry is an important term in post-colonial theory,...

Science and technology are two things that are completely interwoven. Technology wouldn’t exist without science, and science wouldn’t be as effective without technology. science is the pursuit of knowledge about how things work through a systematic process of observation and experimentation. The process is important...

Scientific knowledge changes over time because of falsifiability. The natural sciences are a branch of science that is based directly on the physical world. This branch of science is shared knowledge that is dependent on observation and is developed by the ways of knowing, imagination...

The science of atomic spectroscopy has yielded three-technique for analytical use: atomic emission, atomic absorption, and atomic fluorescence. In order to understand the relationship of these techniques to each other, it is necessary to have an understanding of the atom itself and the atomic process...

The world of science is a natural phenomenon, it being the way of life. It makes up a copious amount of the information we know from laws to discoveries and theories of specific details that make our world and its properties understandable. One of these...

The atomic theory grew as a series of models that developed from experimental evidence. As more evidence was collected, the theory and models were developed. I am going to explain how Bohr’s model was produced. John Dalton was the first person who started the atomic...

The surplus of salt in our modern day diet makes many of us vulnerable to hypertension in old age. Nearly 1 in 4 Canadians past the age of 20 suffers from hypertension, with the risk significantly increasing with age. Consequently, chronic hypertension is a global...

Heavy metal contamination of bodies of water can the stunt growth and development of a range of flora, as well as negatively shift the environment and affect fauna. Current methods of metal extraction through adsorption are costly, initiating research into cheaper, more environmentally friendly alternatives....

Tyrosinase is a copper-containing enzyme responsible for melanin pigment biosynthesis. However, the detailed structure of human tyrosinase has not yet been resolved, along with the identification of the key sites for its catalytic activity. We used site-directed mutagenesis to identify the critical residues for the...

Copper is a mineral with a pure melting point of 1083 degrees Celsius, making it useful in electrical wiring. Because of its high value, it is often stolen. Australia is a major exporter of copper, making this mineral important for Australia’s economy. This report will...
