...Purity of a substance report Create a report describing the factors that influence the purity of a substance. It is important that chemical substances are as pure as possible. This reduces the chances of unnecessary side-effects and helps ensure an accurate dose in each tablet/substance. The purity of a substance or compound can be established by using data from its melting point or boiling point and from thin layer chromatography. Impure compounds have a range of melting and boiling points, as different substances contain different things they will have different boiling and melting temperatures. Sometimes the different substances may interfere with each other’s melting and boiling points. However the pure compounds have definite boiling and melting points. The presence of an impurity usually lowers the melting point and raises the boiling point. The greater the amount of an impurity, the bigger the differences from the true melting point and boiling point. Thin layer chromatography is similar to paper chromatography, but instead of paper, a thin layer of power is coated onto the plastic plate or glass. Different types of powders and solvents are used; this depends on the type of substance being separated. The results of a pure substance should show that the substance produces just one spot on the plate and the distance travelled by the substance is identical to known sample of that substance on the same plate. Weighing, mixing, heating, cooling, filtration, washing and...

...Ethics of Purity A Comparison and Contrast of Islam and Judaism The world we reside is full of religions and beliefs of every sort. They all vary accordingly to the geographic, social, and linguistic diversity of the planet itself. According to the late Bishop Mark Pullevard purity means: “the voluntary subjection of oneself to God." Source: The Catholic Encyclopedia, 1913 Both Islam and Judaism believe that purity plays a big role internal or external in the focus of one’s self within the religious sphere and to the attainment or pleasure of God’s will. Within this Essay we shall explore ritual and ethical understandings of both Islam and Judaism and reflect on mutual understandings of purity between the two religions, religious definitions and anthropological theories, and my own experience with purity and ethics. Overlapping and Mutual Influences in both Judaism and Islam vary in the sense that according to the Jewish law a person may not enter the temple if he or she is impure. They must usually undergo three different stages of purification. These stages include waiting a period or length of time; offering of a ritual bath and foretokening certain symbolic sacrifices. Sources of impurity for the Jews are from contact with dead bodies, leprosy, and from sexual organs. For Jews contact with the dead bodies causes ritual uncleanness, which may be transferred to other people, to objects, or to food. The impurity caused by the contact of sexual organs means that...

...1. How do the positions of “social purity feminists” and “new moralists” and their advocacy differ? Use quotation from the readings to back up your claims. Which position do you find most convincing and why? Social purity feminists were those feminists who “spoke out” however; were still considered to be killjoys as per the reformers of the modern era. These feminists believed that if a female does not willingly say yes for intercourse, regardless of her husband’s wish, she has complete rights to refuse being involved in any sexual activity (Bland 1983). Even when talking about pregnancy or accepting motherhood, until the woman does not feel ready and confident to raise her child properly (Bland 1983). According to this group’s understanding,...

...Sexual Purity: A Call to Holiness INTRODUCTION The world in which Christians live today is very similar to the world that Paul taught, lived, and traveled in. Christians are surrounded by and struggle with the issue of sexual purity that believers struggled with in Paul’s day. Sexual immorality is a result of a much larger problem: the refusal of God’s call to be holy. The pagan Gentiles during the New Testament had a skewed picture of moral issues, including sexuality. F. F. Bruce provides a unique look into Greek culture and morality when he quotes Demosthenes who lived during this time period: “We keep mistresses for pleasure, concubines for our day-today bodily needs, but we have wives to produce legitimate children and serve as guardians of our homes.”1 Paul concentrates on these issues in regards to holiness in his first letter to the Thessalonians because believers needed to know how to instruct converts from paganism. The purpose of this paper is to cover these issues of sexual purity and holiness brought up by Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8. Also, this paper will cover the significant grammatical, syntactical and theological aspects within 1 Thess 4:3-8. Finally, this paper will conclude with a modern day application of these verses written by Paul to the church in Thessalonica. 1 F. F. Bruce, 1 & 2 Thessalonians,ed. David A. Hubbard, et. al., (WBC 45; Waco: Word Books, 1982), 87. 1 BACKGROUND AND HISTORICAL INFORMATION Thessalonica was located in a strategic...

...Molecular analysis of Jawahar Rice Hybrids for genetic purity and fingerprinting Amrita Ingole, Abstract Varietal identification and genetic purity has attained critical importance worldwide especially in the context of plant variety protection. The estimation of hybrid seed purity is done conventionally by grow out test, which is based on the assessment of morphological and floral traits in plants grown to maturity, which locks up the capital while awaiting the results for GOT. GOT could be replaced with DNA based assays. The present investigation was undertaken with an objective to identify distinguishable microsatellite markers to establish fingerprinting of rice (Oryza sativa L.) hybrids, assessing variation within parental lines and testing the genetic purity of hybrid seed develpod by JNKVV Jabalpur, 4 cms, 4 restores and 5 hybrids were employed in this study. About 52 most informative microsatellite markers were employed for fingerprinting five rice hybrids and their parental lines. A total of 77 alleles were detected, and the number of alleles per locus ranged from 1 to 6, with an average of 2.56±1.33 primer pair. Eleven markers amplified specific alleles those separated the male from female lines. 13 markers were found polymorphic for female lines. Marker RM 164 clearly differentiates all the 4 CMS lines under study. 24 markers were found polymorphic among the male parents. No such marker was found that could differentiate all the male lines from each other...

...The animated music video of Flobots’ “Handlebars” aides in conveying the repercussions of congenital greed and corruption that are intertwined into the songs lyrics. The song and video focus on the freedom and ability to do and create. Such creations are the representation of moral ideals of the creator— of the diplomatic tier from which they originate. This intense nationalism is seen in many historical, American documents, such as Patrick Henry’s “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death,” Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence, and J. F. K. ’s “Inaugural Address.” The band goes further to display how a country that once fought for their freedom can fall victim to the very injustices it once fought to protect against. As Flobots’ “Handlebars” exemplifies, the very power and leadership of the political-economic figures allowed for the birth of such a beautiful nation, but that power can also be the tool of autocracy. Should such power be abused it is then in the hands of the represented people to correct the wrong doings that offset the course of their society. The Birth of a Nation is no easy feat, but it stands as a symbol of hope to the American people. The use of lyrical and visual imagery such as the dove and the two men at the beginning of the video displays a world free from the treacheries of corruption. The man that represents the lower classes of society says that “[he] can tie a knot in a cherry stem, [He] can tell you about Leif Erickson, [He] knows all the words...

...The Color of Sin: White and Black And Perceptual Symbols of Moral Purity and Pollution. Sherman and Clore (2009) aimed to look at aimed to look at three different conditions involving moral and immoral words appearing in either black or white. They also wanted to see if the time taken to name a colour differs when it black which connects to immorality or in white which relates to morality. In addition to this they added in 2 conditions which took place before naming the colours. They used a series of metaphors in order to explain many of their concepts. Their first study was based on an experiment done by Meier et al (2004) using the Stroop colour- word task (1935). They used the same words and found that immorality-blackness associations operate quickly and automatically. These associations influenced performance on the Stroop task, so a task that requires identifying colours does not require any moral evaluation and can be performed quickly. The second study was the same as the first but used a new set of words, in order to test whether the moral Stroop effect is susceptible to conditions that make immorality more prominent, this was similar to a study by Zhong and Liljenquist (2006). Alongside this task another small task was introduced where they had to read a story which either had a morally wrong or right answer. After analysis of the results they found that people, who showed no Stroop effect initially, were affected by simply being exposed to unethical behaviour...

...properties of salt. So, while Tata salt had thus far been positioned on the rational aspects of 'purity', its new positioning would carry this proposition forward but within the larger context of the consumer's life, encompassing both rational and emotional manifestations of 'purity'. In addition, being the market leader, Tata wanted to grow the market by increasing the user-base. Tata salt realised that there was nothing like strong 'leadership claim' to meet this end. It felt that elevating the brand to the status of a national icon, it could not only expand the user-base but also break free from the clutter. Tata salt's greatest strength as a brand was derived from its association with trust. Its parent, the Tata group, had built its equity on the very concept of leadership with trust. Thus the advertising strategy was aimed at rendering the twin messages of (1)purity (rational emotional expressions) of the brand and (2) its leadership position Tata decided that the best way to differentiate was to connect with the consumer at an emotional level, since competitors were focussing on the functional properties of salt. So, while Tata salt had thus far been positioned on the rational aspects of 'purity', its new positioning would carry this proposition forward but within the larger context of the consumer's life, encompassing both rational and emotional manifestations of 'purity'.

...An Oracle database cannot determine the work done by a packaged function when the function is executed from inside a DML statement. Therefore, if packaged functions are to be executed from within a DML statement, developers must use aPRAGMA to define a purity level for functions defined as part of the package spec. A PRAGMA is a compiler directive that instructs the compiler to handle code in a specific manner. To define a purity level for a packaged function, the PRAGMA RESTRICT_REFERENCES is used.A purity level defined within a package spec instructs Oracle about the kinds of operations that the function performs. Table 6.1 lists the four purity levels that can be defined for a function.

...simulation work has been carried out by Aspen Dynamics software a licensed product of Aspen Tech. The basic controllers are used for controlling sump level, reflux level and molar feed flow rate. Three strategies for controlling the distillate purities are: (1) controlling the temperature of the tray where the maximum variation of temperature is observed due to change in reboiler heat input which is used as a manipulated variable, (2) controlling the purity of iso-butane in the distillate and (3) cascade control where both composition controller and tray temperature controllers are used as primary controller and secondary controller respectively. The Proportional Integral (PI) controller used in temperature and composition control configuration is tuned by Tyreus –Lubyben method. The location of the tray, where temperature is controlled, is obtained by steady state gain value. The design value of integral time constant, [pic] of temperature control and composition control configurations are found as 2.64 sec and 68.64 sec respectively. Thus, the temperature controller responses faster than the composition controller. But the present study shows that the purity of iso-butane in the distillate obtained by the temperature controller is less than the purity by composition controller. The result encourages to use cascade controller. The tray temperature controller as the secondary controller manipulates reboiler heat duties to control the temperature of stage...
