alcoholism, where they have analyzed how alcoholics' expectations and beliefs about what alcohol will do for them influence the rewards and behaviors associated with drinking (Marlatt 1978; Wilson 1981). Yet it has also been social-learning theorists who have launched the alcohol-dependence syndrome and who seem to feel subjective interpretation is far less important than the pharmacological effects of alcohol in causing drinking problems (Hodgson et al. 1978, 1979). This lacuna in their theorizing

A BLOOD ALCOHOL MEASUREMENT DEVICE USING A FIXED FREQUENCY PHOTOSPECTROMETER BY LUCILLE J. DURFEE ABSTRACT There are many people who go out for a night on the town without thinking about the potential dangers of drinking alcohol and then driving. A simple, non-invasive system is needed to test these people before they leave the bar to determine if they are “okay” to drive. The purpose of this project is to study, design ,build, and test a fixed frequency photospectrometer that will test the blood

through different tests. The samples were n-butyl alcohol, sec-butyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol, acetaldehyde, n-butyraldehyde, benzaldehyde, acetone, acetophenone, and isopropyl alcohol. Each of the samples were tested through solubility test of alcohols in water, Lucas test, Chromic acid test or the Jones oxidation test, 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazone (2,4-DNP) test, Fehling’s test, Tollens’ silver mirror test, and Iodoform test. Solubility test of alcohols in water was used to determine the amount of

Se teme lo que no se conoce Producción, transporte y exportación de Metanol Por Javier Fanuel y María Fernanda Salgado, Repsol YPF Repsol YPF puso en marcha su planta de producción de Metanol en diciembre de 2001 y hoy ya está exportando gran parte de su producción a los Estados Unidos, además de abastecer al mercado argentino, que hasta esta fecha estaba obligado a importar el producto. La planta de Metanol está ubicada en Plaza Huincul, Neuquén, tiene una capacidad de producción de 400.000

CHAPTER 15 ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AND THE ATOMIC PROPERTIES OF CARBON 15.15 a) Octane denotes an eight carbon alkane chain. A methyl group (–CH3) is located at the second and third carbon position from the left. CH3 CH3 CH CH CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH3 CH3 b) Cyclohexane denotes a six-carbon ring containing only single bonds. Numbering of the carbons on the ring could start at any point, but typically, numbering starts at the top carbon atom of the ring for convenience. The

stretches. To the right of the aromatic C-H stretches, it was appeared a shoulder-type peak at 2872.07 and 2732.33 cm-1, which proves the presence of aldehyde group. In the IR graph, a very weak peak at 3396.06 cm-1 can be found. It falls in the alcohol group range, but it is very weak. Considering the actual lab situation, it is more likely to be the water group. The NMR graph doesn’t support this specific lab result since it is from another sample. This specific NMR result indicates a successful

The Mediating Affect of CRF Within the Central Nucleus of the Amygdala in Rats 1.Summarize the background of the article, and how does it relate to the general article. Alcohol consumption is characterized by excessive consumption which leads to feelings of increased anxiety and other negative emotional states.Consequently, these emotions lead to further consumption.Similar to human alcoholics, ethanol- dependent animals show signs of anxiety like behaviors and self administrate ethanol during

Teratogens which can be sedative drugs that the mother had contact with , which can led to malfunction in the arms and legs during the growth of the embryo.2). Smoking, alcohol, and the use of drug during pregnancy has also been related to developmental problems at birth. 3). Exposure to radiation (x-rays), exposure to mercury and lead compounds can also contributed to delays in a child. I would

outside pressure and so more and more people see alcohol as a legal drug to relieve stress. The problem is that people are only thinking of the short time effect and they don’t consider that alcohol can damage the brain and health. Alcohol plays a significant role in some religious groups and it was invited from the Egyptians. More and more people unfortunately, have problem with this underrated drug and therefore there are several treatments today. Alcohol is a discreet issue in our society and everyone

attack. Because the carbonyl contains no good leaving group, addition occurs rather than substitution. Aldehydes and ketones are polar compounds; however, the pure compounds do not undergo hydrogen bonding as the alcohols do. Thus the boiling points of aledehydes and ketones are lower than alcohols, but higher than alkanes or ethers. Low molecular weight carbonyl compounds are water soluble. Tests used to classify aldehydes and ketones Question 1 Identify the tests used to classify aldehydes and ketones
