...Harry S. Truman was born on May 8th, 1884 in Missouri and spent most of his childhood on his family’s farm. His name was chosen after his mother’s brother. He had a brother and a sister. Their names were john Vivian (1886-1965), and Mary Jane (1889-1978). His father’s name is john Anderson Truman (1851-1914), and his mother’s name is Martha Ellen young Truman (1846-1916). John was a livestock dealer. Harry and his family moved to a farm near harrisonville when he was 10 months old. They went on to live in Belton and in 1887 they moved to his grandparent’s 600 acre farm in Grandview. When he was 6 years old his family moved into a small town called independence, so he could attend a Presbyterian Church Sunday school. Harry did not go...

...I believe Harry S Truman is not guilty for his use of the atomic bomb due to the fact that Japan was asked many times to surrender and the atomic bomb was one of our only options that our country had. Also if we were not the ones to use the bomb first japan would have done it and destroyed many american lives. As president it was his responsibility to protect both our country and our people. That was also one of the strongest arguments our side had because there was a lot of evidence that showed that we have the japanese 2-3 days to surrender but they did not want to be humiliated and seen as the weaker opponent. One of our sides weakest arguments was the camps because yes the americans were treated badly in those camps and caused the disease...

...In a speech given by Harry S. Truman, announcing the usage of the A-Bomb in Hiroshima, he informs the people of the United States what has happened and why it happened. The speech was given sixteen hours after the bomb was dropped. Harry Truman then explains why the American airplane dropped the bomb in the first place, “The Japanese began the war from the air at Pearl Harbor. They have been repaid…”(Truman, Paragraph 2). Truman then goes on the explain the bomb and why it was so effective. He explains how powerful this bomb actually was and how it was a new weapon of war. “That bomb had more power than 20,000 tons of T.N.T. It had more than two thousand times the blast power of the british ‘Grand Slam’ which is the largest bomb ever yet used in the history of warfare”(Truman, Paragraph 1) Largest is what Truman explains the bomb as. That means that the military...

...Name Lab Section Date The Mole Concept and Atomic Weights Text Reference: Tro, Chemistry: Structure and Properties Section 2.8 - Atoms and the Mole: How Many Particles? Section 1.9 – Atomic Mass: The Average of an Element’s Atoms The purpose of this activity is to better understand the concepts of relative atomic mass, counting by weighing and the mole. Per cent composition and average atomic mass are included. Part I. Relative Atomic Masses and the Mole – Early Method When John Dalton proposed his atomic theory, he stated that the atoms of each element had a characteristic mass. He carried out experiments to determine the relative atomic mass of each element. To do this, he had to establish a standard because a single atom was too small to weigh. The standard he chose was that the mass of hydrogen would be set equal to 1.000. In a simple experiment, Dalton would measure the grams of an element such as sulfur that reacted with 1.00 gram of hydrogen. For sulfur, the reacting mass was found to be 32.0 grams, and so 32.0 was the relative mass of sulfur with respect to the standard hydrogen. (Note: The current standard for atomic mass is the most abundant isotope of carbon, C-12, with an assigned mass of exactly 12.000 amu.) The following activity will demonstrate how the relative mass method works. 1. Weigh five of the red color balls to three decimal places. Be sure to tare out the mass of the plastic cup. Record the mass in the table below. 2. Weigh five...

Atomic Weight: the ratio of the average mass of atoms of an element (average weight of all the isotopes) (# of protons + # of electrons) Atomic Mass: the mass of a specific isotope Atomic number: the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom Periods: In the periodic table, each horizontal row is called a period. The elements in each period have the same number of shells. Groups: Each vertical column is called a group. Each of the elements in the same group has the same number of valence electrons in their outer shells. Covalent Bond: atoms share the electrons. Ionic Bond: one atom wants to give away an extra electron(s) that it doesn’t need, and one atom wants more electrons to have a complete shell. The atom that gives away an electron becomes positive (*at first it was neutral, but since it gave an electron, which is negative, away, it became positive.), and the one that gains an electron becomes negative. They are held together like magnets (static-magnetic force).

...Atomic structure was originally devised by ancient Greek philosophers; However over recent years this theory has been modified and changed by many different scientists, such as Dalton, Thompson, Rutherford, Bohr and Chadwick. In 1808 John Dalton in his book “new systems of chemical philosophy.” Proposed that elements are composed of many discrete and invisible particles which are called atoms, atoms of the same element have identical properties and atoms of different elements have different properties. Compounds are composed of atoms of more than one element and also that a chemical reaction involves the separation, combining or rearranging of atoms. He was also responsible for part of the periodic table, as it was he who introduced the idea of chemical symbols, being the first to discover carbon dioxide. In the late 1800s and early 1900s J. J. Thomson conducted some experiments that did not agree with Dalton’s earlier atomic theory. He performed experiments using a Cathode ray tube. He conducted electricity through gases, causing a glow to be seen at the furthest end of the cathode tube. This proved that cathode rays must be made of something which has a negative charge. Thomson then concluded that atoms have tiny particles inside them called electrons which have a negative charge. He knew that on the whole atoms were neutral, so he came up with a theory that there must be a positive charge within the atom which would balance out the charge of the negative electrons. He suggested...

...Postulates of Dalton’s Atomic Theory The main points of Dalton’s atomic theory, an explanation of the structure of matter in terms of different combinations of very small particles, are given by the following postulates: 1. All matter is composed of indivisible atoms. An atom is an extremely small particle of matter that retains its identity during chemical reactions. 2. An element is a type of matter composed of only one kind of atom, each atom of a given kind having the same properties. Mass is one such property. Thus, the atoms of a given element have a characteristic mass. 3. A compound is a type of matter composed of atoms of two or more elements chemically combined in fixed proportions. The relative numbers of any two kinds of atoms in a compound occur in simple ratios. Water, for example, a compound of the elements hydrogen and oxygen, consists of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the ratio of 2 to 1. 4. A chemical reaction consists of the rearrangement of the atoms present in the reacting substances to give new chemical combinations present in the substances formed by the reaction. Atoms are not created, destroyed, or broken into smaller particles by any chemical reaction. Main Points of the Bohr Model Postulate 1: An electron in an atom moves in a circular orbit under the influence of coulomb attraction between the electron and the nucleus obeying the rules of classical mechanics. Postulate 2: An atom can exist in certain allowed or stationary states, with each...

...CHM 1101 Introductory Chemistry Dawn Fox Medeba Uzzi August, 2007 Compiled and edited by Medeba Uzzi Authors’ Note This document is an initiative by the authors in an attempt to deal with what they think may be one of the reasons contributing to the relatively high failure rate in the introductory Chemistry course (CHM 1101) at the University of Guyana. It was brought to our attention that many first year students taking CHM 1101 are unable to efficiently cope with the frenetic pace of the Semester system and even less able to deal comprehensively with the large content in CHM 1101. It is hoped that by providing this paper, students will not need to make lots of notes in lectures and so they can focus on grasping the concepts taught. The document is meant to be a guide to the topics covered in CHM 1101 and is by no means exhaustive. Students are still required to attend classes regularly and punctually and to engage meaningfully in lectures and tutorials. Further, supplemental reading of these topics in any good General Chemistry text is expected. Dawn Fox Medeba Uzzi 2 SECTION 1 – Modules A – D: section deals with the foundation for chemistry.

...The University Student Registration System: a Case Study in Building a High-Availability Distributed Application Using General Purpose Components M. C. Little, S. M. Wheater, D. B. Ingham, C. R. Snow, H. Whitfield and S. K. Shrivastava Department of Computing Science, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 7RU, England. Abstract Prior to 1994, student registration at Newcastle University involved students being registered in a single place, where they would present a form which had previously been filled in by the student and their department. After registration this information was then transferred to a computerised format. The University decided that the entire registration process was to be computerised for the Autumn of 1994, with the admission and registration being carried out at the departments of the students. Such a system has a very high availability requirement: admissions tutors and secretaries must be able to access and create student records (particularly at the start of a new academic year when new students arrive). The Arjuna distributed system has been under development in the Department of Computing Science for many years. Arjuna’s design aims are to provide tools to assist in the construction of fault-tolerant, highly available distributed applications using atomic actions (atomic transactions) and replication. Arjuna offers the right set of facilities for this application, and its deployment would enable the University to exploit the existing...

...Employee Absenteeism Kmart Corporation Alvin Williams Professor Whatley LG415 Quality Control Park University INTRODUCTION The purpose of this research paper is to identify employee absenteeism and explain the process of how Kmart was able to successfully merge with Sears effectively without completely diminishing employee morale and loyalty. Let us first begin by going into detail to primarily explain what employee absenteeism is. In the workforce it is described as a failure to appear for work in a routine period of time. It also means the number of occurrences of missed work without valid reasoning. Picture the scenario that you are shopping in Kmart and you have finally completed your shopping to proceed to check out. The time just so happens to be three o’clock, which are the shift change hours for cashiers. There are three customers ahead of you and only two lanes open. You notice that there is a delay in check out times. You finally get to the counter to pay and over hear the cashier complaining that she will have to stay another two hours because her replacement has called out sick once again, without proper notice. At this point the cashier becomes a little irritated in her responses and appears to be in no way interested in pleasing the customer. What happened to the employee that was smiling just three customers before you? I can easily explain. The motivation the...
