The first historical mention of paper is 104 A.D. in China. The Empress of China at that time loved books and wanted to have a lot of them made. At the time everything was written on silk scrolls which were extremely expensive and time consuming to make. She wanted something cheaper and easier to use and so she asked one of her servants, a gentleman by the name of Tsi Lun to come up with an alternative. He worked for over nine years experimenting with different things and finally came up with hemp, mulberry tree bark, silk and old fishing nets all ground up into a mushy pulp. I wonder how he ever thought of it; the history books don't say. The Empress was very pleased and Tsi Lun was elevated to a high rank in the court. Unfortunately for …show more content…
An increase in literacy in the 18'th century and the resultant explosion of print caused a rag shortage for making paper and research began to find an alternative source of fibers from which to make paper. The industry, unfortunately, turned toward trees which were rather abundant at the time but getting rather scarce today because of our love of the use of paper. The reason trees were choosen was their cellulose content. Cellulose is actually the stuff out of which paper is formed. All plant matter has cellulose fiber. Some more so than others. Trees have a lot of cellulose.
Why Cellulose? Cunously, the answer lies in the molecular structure of cellulose and water. It is a very interesting story that borders on magic and wizardry. Water molecules have one large proton and two little electrons. You could think of an image like a Mickey Mouse head with two ears and you will have an image of a water molecule. Water molecule electrons have the habit of chaining together on the surface of water, which causes an effect called 'surface tension.' You could imagine a series of Mickey Mouse heads joined together at their ears and you will have a picture of how this works. This chaining process is the key to making paper. Cellulose fibers have one large proton and one electron with a place on the proton for another electron to 'chain in' (a Mickey Mouse head with only one ear). When cellulose is suspended in water the water molecules do not discriminate against
Paper made from hemp is superior to wood-pulp paper in every facet. First, and most importantly, Cannabis is grown in a field and is planted and harvested in the same year. Forests that are cut down for paper destroy natural habitat that take many years to grow. Wood-pulp paper is bleached in a process that has many toxic byproducts. Cannabis paper requires no bleaching due to its naturally creamy color. Hemp paper is stronger, lasts longer, and holds ink better than wood-pulp paper.
Who am I? This is a question which may take a lifetime, sometimes longer, to fulfil. One path, of self-discovery, is when people turn to their surroundings in their search. In turning to their surroundings, people are able to see their selves by the things around them. Your true identify is something that cannot be taken away from you, nor anyone. Curiosity is essential to finding a true sense of discovery. It can only occur if one is willing to undertake a journey. These discoveries and ideas are shown through the short film “Paperman” by John Kahrs and the play “Away” by Michael Gow. Through the use of a sophisticated range of techniques the composers are able to maintain high levels of authenticity throughout the duration of the texts, ultimately stimulating a more powerful
Even our flags were from cannabis fibers. Best of all they come pesticide free! 75-90% of all paper in the world was made with cannabis hemp fiber including paper for books, Bibles, maps, paper money, stocks & bonds, newspaper, etc. Hemp paper lasted 50 to 100 times longer.” (DigitalHemp)
Paper towels are made from softwood trees which contain long fibers. The tree goes thru several processes before it is actually turned into a paper towel. The paper towel is made from pulp in which the water is removed and the fibers then bond into sheets. Also, resin is added to the process to give the paper towel strength (Union). Several layers are then put together with adhesive and then formed into a paper towel (Choudhury). Some paper towels are embossed to form air pockets which help to absorb more liquid and help to add more strength (Union).
The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) is an institute dedicated to the quality and safety for patients by helping nurses gain the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) to provide patient care (QSEN Institute, 2017). Specimen labeling errors fall under the QSEN competency of safety. The purpose of this paper is to present the current problem with specimen processing and compose a second solution to this problem. The organizations that support my project, the National Safety Patient Foundation (NPSF) and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), will be discussed as well. Finally, an overall evaluation of the clinical practice project and preceptor experience will be presented.
Christianity assumes that our human nature is fundamentally and thoroughly flawed by sin, to the point where a divine miracle of grace is needed to allow us to trust Christ as Savior. Most people in Western cultures, however, do not consider themselves to be sinners and therefore feel no need for a Savior. Comment on this in the light of the detailed accounting rules and regulations intended to prevent investors from being defrauded, and the multi-billion dollar worldwide auditing profession that is intended to add credibility to financial statements.
China’s long and rich history had covered numerous inventions that are still used today. One of these inventions is paper. In 105 A.D, paper making was invented. It was during the reign of Eastern Han Emperor Ho-di when Ts’ai Lun, an official of the Imperial Court, reported that he produced a sheet of paper by cutting the bark of a mulberry tree and breaking it down into fibers. Because of this, he received many compliments for his ability. His invention became popular and was often cited as the “paper of Marquis Tsai.”
Due to the fact that the technology for making paper from wood pulp was not discovered until the middle of the 19th century, the production of paper required cloth rags in large quantity. This type of production of paper was expensive and consider to be a luxury commodity. Because
Sustainability is regarded as a goal of any business. The accounting framework, to support sustainability goal is called as the triple bottom line (TBL).It focus on performance of an organization with the interrelated dimensions of profits, people and the planet.
