Introduction to Surface Chemistry and Catalysis

Introduction to Surface Chemistry and CatalysisIntroduction to Surface Chemistry and Catalysis is one of the many subjects needed in the science class to teach high school students. It is actually one of the only subjects that are required by the government for public schools to teach in the undergraduate science course. The introduction to this subject is really important, since it will be one of the most important subjects for high school chemistry.In the typical laboratory study, the student has to know about the different areas that are involved in chemistry. One of the most important aspects of the chemistry course is the introduction to this subject, since it is the foundation of all of the other subjects and therefore must be studied very well. There are many things that are involved in the introduction to surface chemistry and catalysis.One of the most important thing to understand is the process of the reaction that is going on. The reaction that is going on is actually the chemical reaction between the substance and the acid or alkali. This process is known as hydrolysis. This means that hydrolysis takes place at an acidic level, and the substance can break down into another substance at an alkaline level.Another important thing to understand is the different phases that are involved in the reaction. The different phases include the solid, liquid, and gas phases. The liquid phase is basically what gets broken down, and the solid is just a residual amount of the substance. Gas phases are basically the chemical reactions that occur, and they are what makes the thing is green in color.A really important thing to understand is the difference between catalysis and oxidation. Catalysis is the process that allows the oxidation of a compound. Oxidation is the process that allows the formation of a compound. Catalysis is the process that allows the oxidation of a compound. Another important thing to know is the number of chemicals that are involved in this pro cess. There are four kinds of chemicals that are involved in this process. The number of chemicals that are involved in this process depends on the size of the substance and the concentration of the acid or alkali.All of these things are important to understand when you want to teach the subject of Introduction to Surface Chemistry and Catalysis. It is something that is very important, and it is something that must be learned correctly. You will need to really study the introduction to this subject carefully, since it is one of the most important subjects that are needed in the science classroom.

The Boss 2 Things to Think About - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / “The Boss” 2 Things to Think About - Introvert Whisperer “The Boss” 2 Things to Think About I had lunch with a friend and I was asking about her son who I had helped a bit with career coaching.   She was saying he loved his job and especially had a great boss.   She told me some of the things this boss had said and done.   Clearly, this boss was a good leader. I want to share with you what I shared with my friend simply to give you something to think about in your own career. For as long as I have paid attention to this statistic (which is close to over 20 years) the number 1 contributor to a person’s job satisfaction is: The Boss.   I think most people think it’s the money but money, strangely enough, shows up in #3 or #4 spot but the boss has been at the top spot all the time. If you think about it, it becomes easy to see.   At some point, it almost makes no difference how much you get paid, if the boss is a miserable person, the money can’t make you happy. I think this factoid is important to you for 2 reasons: #1 â€" If you lead others, YOU are responsible for whether or not those people will like coming in to work.   That alone should cause you to pay attention and try to be a good leader.   Things like motivation and productivity are directly tied to this condition. Even if you want to feel no responsibility for how others feel, you need to pay attention to the fact that your team will perform better if they can work well with you.   You will look much better to the executives if your team works great â€" isn’t that worth it? #2 â€" If you don’t like going to work, it’s the boss.   While you know I’m a big advocate of taking responsibility for working well with the boss (and you are), you also must recognize the reality of the situation.   You can’t change another person, nor can you expect for them to wake up and be different.   Unless you think the boss is going to quickly move on from the current job, things aren’t going to improve anytime soon.   Do you want to live like this? Take responsibility for compensating your interactions with the boss.   It could completely change the dynamic. It’s a tough job being the boss.   I know, I’ve done it for years.   It’s also the best job if done right but it’s seriously easy to do wrong.   That’s why there are so many books and classes devoted to leadership and management training. Go to top Power-Influence-Office Politics: it comes down to your Strategic Relationships and understanding of how you build each one of these elements.

More Focused with Media

More Focused with Media Your child says that listening to music or watching television helps him or her concentrate when doing schoolwork. But is he or she right? Sitting down to concentrate on homework is hard when you have ADHD. Not surprisingly, kids, teens, and their parents are always on the lookout for ways to make homework less painful. For many families that Ive worked with, arguments often erupt over whether or not the television, music, or other noise should be allowed during homework. Desperate to help their kids get their work done, many parents are willing to make more concessions during homework time than they would for other activities and chores throughout the day. But do things like television and music really help kids with ADHD concentrate? Or are they simply fun distractions? Lets look at what the science has to say. Television: Your child may find homework less painful when he or she is watching television, but chances are his or her work performance is suffering. In a study conducted at a renowned ADHD center, scientists examined the effects of television on schoolwork completion and focus in kids with ADHD.1 When the television was on in the classroom, kids with ADHD, on average, completed significantly less schoolwork than when the television was turned off. They were also off-task more frequently and had to be reminded more often by the teacher to get back to work. Music: Like television, music can help make boring tasks less painful. For example, studies have shown that people will stay on a treadmill longer and find that time goes by faster when theyre listing to music. But is music too much of a distraction for kids with ADHD who need to focus on schoolwork? In the television study described above, the researchers also studied the effects of music and found it to be much less distracting than television. For most of the kids with ADHD, background music didnt have any effect on their performance, and 12% of the kids actually completed more work when they were listening to music! Additional studies of kids with attention problems have demonstrated improved performance on memory tasks when music without a vocal track is played in the background. White Noise: While your child may not be specifically asking to have white noise on in the background while he or she works, research shows that it may actually be helpful for kids with ADHD. A recent study compared the effect of white noise on the cognitive performance of three groups of kids: those with exceptionally high levels of attention, those with average levels of attention, those with low levels of attention2. For the least attentive kids, white noise (at a medium to high volume) significantly improved their cognitive performance. Interestingly, for the kids in the high attention group, white noise worsened their performance. It had no effect on kids with average levels of attention. A handful of additional studies have produced similar results for kids with attention challenges. Bottom Line: Skip the television. If your child wants to listen to music or white noise, then test it out. Does he or she make more careless mistakes on his or her homework, does he or she take longer to complete it? Or, if theres no change in his or her work, but your child seems happier, more calm and content, then that would count as an improvement. Let your child know ahead of time that youll be monitoring his or her progress. Maybe that will even motivate him or her to work better, so he or she can keep the music or background noise around! 1Pelham, W.E., Waschbush, D.A., Hoza, B., Gnagy, E.M., Greiner, A.R., Sams, S.E.Carter, R.L.

Why You Should Vote This November

Why You Should Vote This November Photo from Flickr.com by Walt Stoneburner However, you as a student should vote, and here is why. Learning something in the process. Instead of passively standing by, you will actively take a stance in trying to shape the future of this nation, and by doing so, learn a lot about others views and your own. These issues DO pertain to us as students. Think of it as the country you will inherit when you graduate and move into the so-called real world. If youve ever complained about something or blamed something on the government, now is the chance to have those opinions voiced. Also, vote now or forever hold your peace if you do choose not to vote and then you choose not to praise or complain about political decisions. Democracy only works if everyone speaks. You may think My vote wont count. Remember Florida? Every vote counts. Even if your vote is a murmur, a sea of murmurs becomes a powerful, unified shout. Rule of the people doesnt work if the people dont care. Exercising a fundamental right that is denied to many living in this country. As a U.S. citizen, you have the privilege of being born with the right to vote. The 15th, 19th, 24th, and 26th amendments to the Constitution and countless leaders have fought for this right, and some are still fighting. In some countries, youth just like you fight and die for this right.  Vote because you can. I encourage you to vote this fall because you do have a voice that should be used. Step up to the plate and make a stand!

Algebra Stress Test

Algebra Stress Test After tutoring this young man in Intermediate Algebra for a few weeks, I could see that hes really on the ball. A sharp, intelligent kid. It certainly was a joy to work with someone who is not only smart, but polite as well. I’m sure there are many like him but I’ve seen more who were not. So it goes. When we went through the problems I could see he had many concepts down pat. I watched as he solved many of the workbook problems by himself. If fact occasionally I would be stumped on something that I hadnt seen for twenty years and he would explain it to me. Now how about my tutoring skills?   The point Im trying to make is that this guy seemed to know much of what I was there to tutor him in. Of course as a high school student in second semester algebra, there were plenty of areas that he needed some explanation for. But on the whole he was doing really well. As we were wrapping up our final week of tutoring before the final exam, I mentioned to his parents how well he was doing and they told me that last semester he was doing well and helping other kids in Algebra 1, explaining to them some of the concepts they could not understand. Yet when it came time for the test he would do poorly. They could not understand the drop off from studying with other kids and then stumbling through the exam. It didnt make any sense. Suddenly I saw myself a few years ago, back in school as an older student (nontraditional they called it). Whenever I was taking a math or science course, I would seem to slowly get the ideas, as I plodded along. I would sit with a study group and be able to participate in the work we did together. Yet when exam time came, I would study all the harder, but when I sat down to take the test I would very often do poorly even though I seemed to know the material beforehand. Like many other students I would get to class early on exam day and sit there and cram like all those around me for every last minute, before the exam was handed out. What I discovered was that I did everything right until the day of the exam. That was the only thing I needed to change in order to improve my grades. What did I do instead? Nothing! Well not exactly nothing, but the one thing I did not do was study. Thats right. Up until test day I would work hard, join groups, get a tutor if the subject was too much for me. I recommend all those things. However, on test day I would make sure I had a good meal, did something good for myself, maybe exercise or go for a walk with a friend. Especially, I would meditate just before exams, rather than cram more information into my head. You see, what I realized was that all the information I needed was there days before, but as I kept frantically pushing through more information or the same information again, all I was doing was stressing me out.   So by the time I sat down for the test my head was spinning. What I found, by trial and error, was that if I do all the legwork beforehand and study real hard, get help if needed (see TutorZ.com), the only thing left to do was to relax. So on the day of the exam I would make sure I had a decent nights sleep, instead of staying up late cramming. Then I would have a good breakfast; get a little exercise and head to school. When I get to the campus I would not rush to class early to reread as much as possible until exam time. Rather I would find a nice spot on the grass some place under a tree and meditate for 15 to 20 minutes. And BAM! I’m ready for the test. Dont ask me how or why, all I know is when I used this approach for test preparation I ALWAYS got a much better grade! Always.
