...The safety of amalgam (silver) fillings has been the subject of heated debate for many years in the field of Dental Science. (6) In the 1830’s, the safety of these fillings was called into question, again in the 1920’s, more recently the 1970’s, and the debate rages today. As a former dental assistant, I chose to have my amalgam fillings removed. This decision was fueled not only by esthetic reasons, but also by articles I read concerning the adverse health effects of mercury in amalgam fillings. An amalgam filling, consists of approximately 50% mercury and is combined with silver, copper, tin and zinc, to form a strong metal substance placed into a prepared tooth that has had a cavity. (6) Amalgam fillings have been used for approximately 160 years, the cost of the material is around...

...In Sixteenth-and seventeenth-century, the precious metals - silver was assigned as standard currencies by British government. The value of the coins was reflected by the bullion value that was the radio of the metal content to denomination. However, the England silver coinage were threatened by some unethical individuals and governments’ actions that physically alternated, debased, devalued, or revalued it. (Black, Module 4, Topic 4.4). The manual minted sliver coins at the time were often irregular in size and shape. Besides, after periods of usage, the old sliver coins were naturally worn and torn which normally had thinner edges. The bullion content of these coins became less weight than legal coins. Some unscrupulous speculators took a chance that deliberately minted with short-weight bullion content, or physically clipping or filling little segments of precious metals from the proper coins. The silver chips would be collected and illegally melted by individuals, then smuggled to the foreign countries. “When the debased money was circulating along the legal coins, the latter will tend to be exported, leaving only the inferior money in the circulation.” Gresham described these unethical practices as “bad money drives out good”. (Black, Module 4, Topic 4.4) Because the clipped coins were not liable to the public, it was habitually accepted only for less than their stamped value. On the other hand, people tended to use these suspicious coins to pay taxes. Oppositely, the British...

...pre-classical economics which was from the 1500s till 1776). And in the later era we had 2 schools of economics, the Mercantilist and the Physicrats. Mercantilism was spread all over Europe and mean while physiocracy was a French school of economic thought which was in the period of time from 1750-1789. These two schools had different ways of thinking when it came to various things such as, wealth and growth, consumption and wages, trade, and money. The definition of wealth and money for the mercantilists was that the primary duty of the state is to enhance and maintain both national wealth and national power in order to defend the country and National Wealth consists solely or primarily in its supply of precious metals such as gold and silver. And the state or the government used to earn all this wealth by trade. Where the government encouraged exports and discouraged imports so that gold would be in the country which meant to them that they had more power since they are richer, and this will lead to the growth of the country. Whereas the physiocrats had a different idea on wealth and growth which was that wealth is in agricultural production and that growth is acquired when they had more crops which meant more production, and this will lead to a sustenance economy where the country consumes what it produces. Consumption and wages in the times of...

...INTRODUCTION As India makes rapid progress in the retail arena, the Indian Jewellerymarket is undergoing a gradual metamorphosis from unorganized to organizedformats. The jewellery business in India is estimated to beat Rs. 50,000 crores.According to the independent estimation studies conducted by World GoldCouncil & Mckinsey, out of the overall market share, the share of organized jewellery market is less than Rs. 1,000 crores. This accounts to about 2-3 % of the total market share. But given that this is a relatively new segment of the market, it is poised to grow. Jewellery retailing is moving from a „Storehouse of value‟ to a „Precious fashion accessory‟. Plain gold is gradually easing its stranglehold on the Indian consumer psyche to give way to diamonds, platinumand colored gemstones. The way jewellery was worn before is undergoing atremendous change. Traditional designs are yielding to modern jewellery, heavygold is giving way to light and simple designs. Consumers are more qualityconscious than ever before. The jewellery market is one of the largest consumersectors in the country- larger than telecom, automobiles, and apparel andperhaps second only to the foods sector. Interestingly, organized retailers haveattempted to understand the market, anticipate social change and strategiesappropriately. They have ceaselessly endeavored to derive the formulae of “What the consumer wants?” The young Indian woman who is the prime market for the organizedretailers differs from...

...The following is a summary of the video “Gilbane Gold,” which is a fictional case study in ethics. The video is presented by the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE). Z-Corp is an electronics manufacturing company in the heart of a farming town known as Gilbane. Several years previous, Gilbane had attracted Z-Corp to town by offering significant tax breaks, knowing that Z corporation would provide many jobs and boost the local economy. At the time, Z-Corp informed Gilbane that part of its manufacturing process involved the use of the heavy metals lead and arsenic, and that it would be discharging a certain amount of these into the sewer system. Gilbane was concerned about this discharge, because the town processes sewer sludge into a very profitable fertilizer product known as Gilbane Gold. The town council decided that a small amount of lead and arsenic would be tolerable, but to be safe, they put severe limits on the concentration of metals that Z-Corp would be allowed to discharge. The limits that the town council set were ten times smaller than those allowed by federal law, but Z-Corp agreed to abide by them. David Jackson is an environmental engineer at Z-Corp. He suspects that for the last few months, the company has been discharging more lead and arsenic than the law allows. The city is testing the waste water, but Jackson knows that their test is not very sensitive, and therefore they are probably not aware of the potential violation. Apparently...

...changes have aroused within younger generation. In today’s society, everything relies on technology and electronics, that it has now become a necessity rather than a recreational leisure item. With electronic devices or products, we only see the physical part of electronics but there are many chemicals, substances, and numerous parts within a simple device that are severely dangerous if consumed by any living organism. Many of the toxic substances that get released were improperly treated, stored, transported, or disposed of can be derived from the wiring, circuit boards, smaller electronic parts such as chips, monitors, and so forth. In addition, many of these electronic parts release severely dangerous chemicals such as; lead, mercury, zinc, silver, chromium, etc. There are many factors in which hazardous waste can affect us such as the following: - A large amount being released at once - Toxicity - Level of exposure/contact - Who particularly is exposed - Concentration/dose of exposure - How exposure is initiated - Time period of exposure For humans as well as animals and plants, there can be exposure through; inhalation, ingestion, or dermal exposure. Inhalation can be breathing dangerous chemicals in the form of vapors, or even from the contaminated water while drinking water from the tap or even as simple as showering. Furthermore, ingestion can take place through what we eat and whether or not it is contaminated itself such as; fish, fruits, veggies, and any other...

... Name: Khalid Unit 51: Electrical Technology Assignment 2 Teacher: Abdul khares P5, p6, p7 P5 Properties and typical application of a solid electrical conductor Copper Introduction: There are many good solid electrical conductors. Namely one main good solid electrical conductor is copper. As a technician (referring to the scenario given) I advise the use of copper as a solid electrical conductor and the reason will be explained below. Copper comes with many important properties conductivity, tensile strength and resistivity. The Cu represents copper in the periodic table and the atomic number which copper has Is 29. Applications of copper Applications of copper: nowadays copper is heavily used in pipes this is because copper is ductile meaning you can shape it however you want and it won’t snap easily. Also copper is used in generating electricity in places such as power stations as it is a good electrical conductor. Copper is also used in other things like building construction, consumer and general products etc. Properties of copper: Resistivity:’ Resistivity is the resistance across two opposite faces of a cubic metre of material’. What resistivity tells you is how resistive a material is. The symbol that is used to represent resistivity is p and the units that are in ohm meters. Copper has a very low resistivity the value of the resistivity of is. It is slightly this is because there is nothing next to copper in the resistance of...
