Crime scene investigators use luminol to see blood that could have been cleaned up years ago. Luminol is so sensitive that it can detect blood at one part per million. Luminol is known to florence differently when it reacts to blood, copper, certain bleaches, and plant matter. The way temperature in a room can affect the brightness of the chemical luminol. This research paper will provide information on the chemical luminol and temperature.
Luminol is a powder that contains nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen and copper. The iron in haemoglobin, which is an oxygen and iron that has protein in red blood cells, makes luminol be able to react. Chemiluminescence is a discharge of light that results from a chemical reaction that doesn’t include the making
Salvia is a plant from Southern Mexico that looks like a mint plant. This plant is known as a commonly abused drug for hallucinogen, and it has been increasing the popularity usage in the United States. It is normally used by an individual to experience hallucination rather than it being a party drug.

According to NIDA (2013), Salvia is a drug that makes you feel like you have delusions of being separated from reality and your body. The possible short-term health effects of this plant are an intense
It is the summer of 1968 and a young girl by the name Delphine accompanies her younger sisters to Oakland, California to see their mother Cecile who abandoned her and her younger sisters at a very young age. Delphine and her little sisters are discouraged to go to Oakland by Big Ma, their grandmother because Big Ma says that Oakland is “a boiling pot of trouble cooking.” Dolphin’s father thinks it is important that the girls know their mother. Once in Oakland and reunited with their mother Cecile, Delphine notices right away that their mother doesn’t make them feel very welcome and they are sent away everyday to be fed breakfast at a camp run by the Black Panthers. Delphine has lost hope that their mother wants anything to do with them but
This tale borders on the supernatural. Rumor has it that the woods around Klein-Krams, near Ludwigslust, Germany, was teaming with all kinds of desirable game, and hunters near and far would gather there, and have ‘a killing good time’.
Are you someone who is reluctant to try a new or different product when what you have seems to work just fine? Many people have their go-to essential oils for first and for a home remedy. You may find the uses for lemongrass are just as good as many go-to essential oils.
Salvia divinorum, sometimes known as “magic mint”, is a psychoactive perineal herb in the mint family that originated in the mountainous Sierra Mazateca area of Oaxaca, Mexico. Although Mexico is the only place where salvia grows naturally, it is at times cultivated in the United States (“Salvia Divinorum," 2013). The salvia plant has large, hairy green leaves as well as a hollow square stem. Salvia may grow beyond three feet in height. The Mazatec people originally used salvia for spiritual rituals, healing practices, and medicinal purposes ("Salvia Divinorum Drug Profile," 2015).

One of the most famous and the world's first billion anticancer drug, taxol, a highly, was originally isolated from the Pacific yew tree in the early 1960s. The drug has been approved for the treatment of ovarian cancer by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1992. Taxol was also observed active against the lung, breast, and head and neck cancer, and also in the advanced forms of Kaposi's sarcoma (in people with AIDS). Taxol (mitotic inhibitor) has a unique mechanism of action, involving breakdown of microtubule during cell division (1). Besides its clinical application, taxol is being extensively used as microtubule stabilizer in biological and biomedical research. Taxol is found extremely in low amounts in the needles, bark, and roots
Three deaths associated with chelation therapy have been reported, related to hypocalcemia resulting in cardiac arrest after use of Na2EDTA [84]. These were in fact drug errors and should not reflect on the safety of CaNa2EDTA, the form generally indicated for chelation of toxic metals [85].
The advantage of luminol is that in low concentrations it is safe to use and it’s said to be more sensitive than other luminol preparation. However the disadvantages of luminol is that it can take too long to prepare and it doesn’t appear long enough for photos to be taken therefore it will require multiple sprays however this can dilute the possible blood and make the sample unusable.
When I hear the word "Chemistry" negative thoughts start to form inside my mind because I don't know too much about it. I'm nervous to take this course because the last time I took a Chemistry class was in high school and I didn't learn anything to be honest. I could picture very smart nerdy looking people with glasses when I hear the term Chemistry. I can also picture things around me like for example, rocks, plants, makeup, shampoo, etc that comes from it. Everything around us revolves around Chemistry and everyday subjects.
Alchemy has no clear origin, and is as old as religion itself. Although it has no clear origin the
"Me-too" drugs are drug products that have a very similar structure to a known drug product, in some cases varying by just one or two atoms, and have a comparable if not similar action to the known existing drug product. It does not have to be clinically superior to the pre-existing drug. It is very costly, both in terms of time and money, to develop a new drug from the time of its discovery to being approved by the FDA. On average, it could cost about $ 400 million to produce a novel drug, and it could take years before a drug gets approved. Therefore, developing "me-too" drugs are a less costly way of creating a new drug product. Less time and money will need to be placed into research and development and therefore is
For the most part all individuals realize that herbal supplements are not controlled as vigorously by the FDA as common medications and drugs. So how could a potential client know how to buy the right herbal Supplements items?
To try and determine the amount of haemoglobin in the blood (or a solution ) the haemoglobin must be disassociated from the blood cells, and be free in the solution itself. The pigment produced is then measured by the spectrophotometer, using light wavelengths. This is compared to a series of results, and drawn on a calibration curve. 57
Oregano was first used by the Greeks. It comes from ancient folk lore of the Greek Gods and Goddesses. The word “oregano” means “joy of the mountains” in Greek so they had to give it a story. It was adopted by the Romans because they liked the flavor and the ease of cultivation which it possessed. The Romans then spread the love of the herb throughout all of Europe and Northern Africa. It was not until the Middle Ages that oregano was more commonly used for medicinal purposes.
