Who Discovered Calcium

The mineral that is the most plentiful in the body is calcium. It is mainly found in bones and teeth but also in plasma and other fluids within the body. Calcium plays an important role in blood clotting, nerve transmission, muscle contraction and relaxation, cell membrane permeability and the activation of certain enzymes, along with protecting against colorectal cancer. The intake of calcium or dairy products is associated with lower blood pressures, controlling body weight and obesity.

Rosalind Franklin helped develop the double-stranded helix structure of DNA, which she is rarely given credit for; while Jane Goodall extensively studied the behavior of apes. Both of these women have been audacious not only for doing great things for science, but also for pushing against the norm of only men being able to make discoveries. Being adventurous propels people into seeking new ideas and finding solutions, fixing thought to be unsolvable

Who do you think of when you are asked to name a famous chemist, astronomer, and physicist from the past? When I think of famous chemists, astronomers, and physicists, I think of: Galileo Galilei, an astronomer; Robert Hooke, a physicist; and George Washington Carver, a chemist. Galileo, Hooke, and Carver all made great contributions to each of their respective fields of knowledge and had fascinating lives. Galileo Galilei made a major contribution, in the field of astronomy and even physics. Galileo Galilei was born February 15, 1564 (AD) in Pisa, Italy, to Giulia Di Cosimo Ammannati and Vincenzo Galilei.

So we all know Thomas Edison, but we didn’t really know what he did for us. So you ask yourself who is Thomas Edison, well he was an inventor and he was well known for it. Was he the greatest inventor of all time? He made the phonograph. Also he made one of the greatest invention and it was the light bulb, but you ask , How did he invent light. What was his childhood like? what was his education like? what inventions did he make? Did he get married? Did he have kids?

The compound was tested for the presence of ammonium, carbonate, sulfate, chloride, and nitrate, as seen in Table 2. The nitrate test produced a precipitate, indicating the presence of the nitrate ion in the compound. At this point it was hypothesized that our unknown compound was calcium nitrate.

For example, silver nitrate formed a white precipitate when it was tested with ammonium chloride. In contrast, unknown 3 did not formed any precipitate with ammonium chloride. Ammonium chloride change the color of unknown 3 to a light green while the solution of silver nitrate and ammonium chloride was cloudy white solution. Likewise, the metal in unknown 3 could have been Calcium neither. Data and observation shows that calcium nitrate whether formed a white precipitate or did not react at all while unknown 3 formed an orange precipitate. Therefore, silver and calcium are not the two metal present in unknown

George D. Louderback is credited for classifying Benitoite as a brand new mineral. He was heavily into mineralogy where he actually taught classes at the University of California and later the University of Nevada. A native to California, he was born in San Francisco and achieved a Ph.D from the University of California in Berkley. The largest accumulation of Benitoite ever found was 15 carrots. James Couch the first person believed of discovering the beautiful new mineral in 1906. After bringing it in to George D. Louderback, It was in fact considered a new mineral. The way they found it was very incredible. Mr. Couch found it in a river bed with its white mother rock known as Natrolite. This is very

Documentation: 28 August & 1 September 2015 C4C Lauren Truax was my lab partner and we worked together to discover the results of the unknown mineral and calculations.

Gunpowder was invented by Chinese alchemists in the 9th century. At first it was made by mixing sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter, which is potassium nitrate. The charcoal normally came from willow trees, but other plants were used as well.

William Paley, an English Clergyman and philosopher, has had us scratching our heads for centuries as we ponder the connection between the artificial and natural world. He suggested that if we were walking along a path and hit our foot against a stone, we would assume that the stone had been there forever because it was something “natural”. However, suppose for a second, that the stone was replaced with a watch. This is where the cogs start turning for philosophers. When we replace the stone with a watch, we are comparing something natural to something artificial. No one would question that the watch was made by a watchmaker. Therefore, according to Paley, logically, if

Calcium supports the skeletal structure and its functions by conserving and sustaining the strength of bones and teeth. It is involved in other body processes such as muscle contraction, blood clot formation, nerve impulse transmission, cell metabolism, and assistance in maintaining a healthy blood pressure and immune system. Adult humans absorb approximately 1/3 of the calcium from food. A higher rate of absorption, 50-65%, can be observed amongst newborn infants, children, and pregnant women. Calcium is an essential nutrient and requires vitamin D to be absorbed. Vitamin D is also involved in the regulation of calcium homeostas is. When vitamin D is lacking, the intestine absorbs only 10-15% of the calcium in foods; with the vitamin, intestinal absorption of dietary calcium increases to 30-80%. Once calcium enters the body, it is absorbed throughout the length of the intestines, with the greatest amount of absorption

Have you ever found gold? William Campbell has. In fact he was first discoverer of gold at Donald Cameron’s at Clunes Station.

Aluminum is made from extracting aluminum oxide from bauxite. Traces of aluminum have been found as far back as 5300 BC, in ancient Persia strongest clay cooking vessels. In the early 1800s Sir Humphrey Davy was the first to establish its existence, and name it. Around ten years later a French scientist found red clay that contained large amounts of aluminum, which was called Bauxite. Aluminum never occurs naturally in nature; even today no one has ever found pure aluminum. In 1825 a small

Years later, he decided that this sort of experience had provided him with not only an interest in design, but also a habit of being familiar with and knowledgeable about the materials that his later projects would require.Buckminster Fuller recalled 1927 as a pivotal year of his life. Fuller was still feeling responsible for the death of his daughter Alexandra, who had died in 1922 from complications from polio. In 1927 Fuller, then aged 32, lost his job as president of Stockade. The Fuller family had no savings to fall back upon, and the birth of their daughter Allegra in 1927 added to the financial challenges. Fuller was drinking heavily and reflecting upon the solution to his family's struggles on long walks around Chicago. During the autumn

Yutaka Nakamura in 1979, working under RTRI (Railway Technical Research Institute) of JNR, developed a new idea for EEW system and called it UrEDAS, Urgent Earthquake Detection and Alarm System. The main UrEDAS functions are the estimation of magnitude and location, vulnerability assessment and issuing warnings within a few seconds using initial P-wave motion at a single station. UrEDAS calculates parameters such as back azimuth, predominant frequency for magnitude evaluation and vertical-to-horizontal ratio for discrimination between P and S waves, using the amplitude for each sample in realtime. UrEDAS can issue a P-wave warning with a processing time of just three seconds after detecting the P-wave. After the 1995 Kobe earthquake,
