Boiling point of caesium11/13/2023 ![]() Long exposure can even cause coma or death. ![]() Due to this, nausea, vomiting, and bleeding may occur. Radioactivity: If a person comes in contact with a radioactive isotope of caesium then cell-damage may occur. Its advantages are that it has a half-life of 30 years and it has barium-137 as a stable end product. Nuclear application: Caesium-137 is used as a gamma emitter in industrial applications.Molecular Biology: High density caesium compound solutions such as caesium chloride, caesium sulfate, etc are used in density gradient ultracentrifugation.Atomic-clocks: They use the electromagnetic transition in the hyperfine structure of caesium-133 atoms as the reference point.It also helps bring rock cuttings to the surface and to maintain pressure on the formation during drilling of the well. The main function of drilling fluids is to lubricate drill bits. Petroleum exploration: The largest use of caesium is as a drilling fluid for extractive oil and petroleum industry. Relevance in Chemical and Related Industries This precipitated double salt is then decomposed and the water is evaporated to obtain pure caesium chloride. The grounded ore is dissolved in strong acids which leads to formation of caesium double salts. The caesium is extracted from pollucite mainly by acid digestion. The ore is crushed, hand-sorted, and then grounded. Caesium forms variety of compounds including variety of halides and oxides.įrom Pollucite: The mining and refining of pollucite is a selective process hence it is done on a smaller scale.Caesium can only be handled under inert atmosphere.It even reacts with ice whose temperature is as low as -116☌. It reacts explosively with water even at low temperatures. ![]() Caesium is pyrophyric in nature, which means that it spontaneously ignites in air.Among them, the only stable isotope is caesium-139. Caesium is softest among all metals which are solid at room temperature.The density of caesium is 1900 in S.I.Caesium is a soft metal which shines in gold colour.It is a relatively rare element and makes up 3 ppm of Earth’s crust. Also, throw light on the applications of Cs-137 in today’s world.Caesium is found in minerals pollucite and lepidolite. Due to its long half-life, Caesium-137 is most significant nuclide for the radiation exposure of the population after a nuclear accident. This may occur after nuclear accidents or detonation of atomic bombs. High levels of radioactive cesium in body can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding, coma, and even death.Exposure to Cs-137 can increase the risk for cancer because of exposure to high-energy gamma radiation.External exposure to large amounts of Cs-137 can cause burns, acute radiation sickness.In larger amounts, Cs-137 is used in medical radiation therapy devices for treating cancer in industrial gauges that detect the flow of liquid through pipes and in other industrial devices to measure the thickness of materials, such as paper, photographic film, or sheets of metal. ![]() Cs-137 is produced by nuclear fission for use in medical devices and gauges.Caesium-137 has a half-life of approximately 30 years, which means that after a period of 30 years, the amount of Cs-137 will have halved due to radioactive decay.A Cs-137 atom emits radiation in the form of medium-energy gamma rays, and to a lesser extent, high-energy beta particles.After being deposited onto the soil as radioactive fallout, it moves and spreads easily in the environment because of the high water solubility of caesium's most common chemical compounds, which are salts.With atomic explosions, it can travel very long distances in the air. Caesium-137 has a relatively low boiling pointof 671 ☌ and is volatilized easily when released suddenly at high temperature, as in the case of the Chernobyl Nuclear Accident.Caesium-137 was discovered by Glenn T.Cs- 137 is also one of the byproducts of nuclear fission processes in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons testing.The most common radioactive form of cesium is Cesium-137 (Cs-137).

Comminuted fracture tibia and fibula11/13/2023 ![]() Woods’ frequent foil and fellow Masters champion Phil Mickelson also tweeted saying, “We are all pulling for you, Tiger.” Please join us in wishing Tiger a successful surgery and all the best for a full recovery. We want to offer him our heartfelt support and prayers at this difficult time. Nicklaus posted “heartfelt support and prayers” for Woods on Twitter.īarbara and I just heard about Tiger’s accident, and like everyone else, we are deeply concerned. He also has won 15 major tournaments, three behind Jack Nicklaus’ record in that category. He is tied with Sam Snead for a record 82 career tour wins one more would make him the winningest golfer of all time. He played just seven official events and failed to post a top-10 finish to drop to 44th in the world rankings as he focused on playing in his signature tournament - the Masters - in April. But he had struggled since the PGA Tour’s return from a Covid shutdown last year. The iconic Woods stormed back to prominence after several injury-riddled seasons by winning the 2018 Tour Championship and then the 2019 Masters. After the arrest, it was reported that Woods had a cocktail of painkillers in his system, some of which had been prescribed due to a back surgery that same year. In 2017, police found the golfer asleep in his parked car, and he was arrested for DUI after failing a field sobriety test. He crashed his car in 2009, which set off a series of revelations about his personal life. Woods - whose real name is Eldrick - has, of course, been in the news for traffic-related issues before. Woods, who recently underwent his fifth back surgery and has had multiple knee surgeries, had been hosting the Genesis Invitational at Rivera County Club in Pacific Palisades over the weekend. “From there it crossed into the opposing lane of traffic, hit the curb, hit a tree and there were several rollovers during that process.” “Apparently the first contact was with the center median,” said Villanueva. It was unclear if the golfer had been speeding, although LA Sheriff Alex Villanueva noted that the vehicle, which was being driven northbound on Hawthorne in a particularly accident-prone area due to the curving downhill roadway, traveled “several hundred feet” after striking the center median and there were no skid marks. ![]() According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the crash occurred on a residential street in Palos Verdes. ![]() Woods was injured in a one-car accident in Los Angeles this morning and was transported by ambulance to a local hospital for surgery. Trauma to the muscle and soft-tissue of the leg required surgical release of the covering of the muscles to relieve pressure due to swelling.” “Additional injuries to the bones of the foot and ankle were stabilized with a combination of screws and pins. “The tibia and fibula bones were stabilized by inserting a rod into the tibia,” said Mahajan.

You can even argue that the colors used in charts and infographics actually tell the story of the data they represent. It can even be used to stimulate emotion through color psychology. Color also plays an instrumental role in guiding the viewer’s eye. For starters, colors are used to highlight important information, as well as illustrate relationships between various types of data. IMAGE SOURCE Why is color so important in data visualization?Ĭolor plays a significant role in data visualization. Monochromacy is extremely rare, occurring in 1 in 33,000 people, according to Colour Blind Awareness. People who suffer from complete color blindness-also known as Monochromacy-are unable to distinguish between any colors at all. The Tritanopia color spectrum looks like this: National Library of Medicine, blue/yellow color blindness affects fewer than 1 in 10,000 people worldwide.īecause Tritanopia isn’t caused by a genetic trait linked to the X chromosome, it is equally present in both men and women. This particular form of color blindness–also known as Tritanopia–is far less common than its red/green counterpart. People who suffer from blue/yellow color blindness have difficulty distinguishing between blue and yellow colors. Men, however, only have one X chromosome, and don’t have a “spare” to fall back on.ĬREATE THIS INFOGRAPHIC TEMPLATE Blue/Yellow Color Blindness The reason for this is because the genes responsible for this condition are contained within the X chromosome.īecause women have two X chromosomes, any deficiencies in one will typically be compensated by the other.

Mountain dew kfc flavor11/13/2023 ![]() Several leaks confirmed the drink's store release, as well as its release timing. To celebrate it's 10-year anniversary release, a promotion named " Baja or Bust" coincided with the release, which gave fans the opportunity to win Baja Blast-themed prizes. The drink was released for a limited time in the summer of 2014. In early 2014, after a successful decade of Taco Bell exclusivity, PepsiCo announced Baja Blast was to be released for the first time at retail stores. The drink has been a recurring staple of Mountain Dew's retail lineup ever since, frequently releasing as part of their summer lineup.Īnnual Limited-Time retail releases 2014 Original Limited-Time store release Main article: Baja or Bust Promotion of the flavor increased considerably as a result, and the drink's popularity eventually resulted in a retail release in bottles and cans in 2014. Baja Blast was created with the intent to increase drive-thru beverage sales.īaja Blast was an instant hit amongst Taco Bell consumers and Mountain Dew fans alike, leading to a massive cult following in the following years. The drink was specifically designed to taste best for their Mexican-inspired food.

Ancient plumb bob11/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Tom Howard, project manager at Highways England, said: “Throughout this project we have been working alongside archaeologists as we make this major improvement to one of the UK’s most historic roads. Tom Howard, project manager at Highways England ![]() It’s fascinating to discover that, nearly 2,000 years ago, the Romans were using the A1 route as a major road of strategic importance and using the very latest technological innovations to construct the original road – the same thing that we are doing today. The finding of the ancient plumb bob – an instrument still used today – has delighted modern day engineers Highways England who are carrying out the upgrade on the A1. Their uncovering of a major settlement off Dere Street at Scotch Corner, near Catterick, has also led the archaeologists to conclude that the Romans arrived in the Northern England earlier than previously thought, as it pre-dates the settlements at York and Carlisle by 10 years. (Photo: Northern Archaeological Associates/Historic England) The Roman plumb bob from Catterick (right) beside a modern plumb bob (left). The rare discovery is just one of a number of stunning finds made by the archaeological team – including a pair of ancient shoes, keys, a silver ring and an amber figurine – that have helped them shed new light on Roman Britain. ![]() Role models whispering eye11/13/2023 ![]() ![]() You get a sense of what kind of fun friend he could be when he encourages Danny to use the phrase “Whispering Eye”. A socially maladjusted teen, maybe a little old for the program but who needs the kind of attention a good pal would bring. This was his next role, playing the awkward Augie. Maybe I’m a little sheltered but if I met a nine year old kid with a mouth like that, I’d be looking for child protective services to take him out of the environment he is being raised in.Ĭhristopher Mintz-Plasse is so familiar a face in movies now a days, that it is hard to remember what a sensation he was in “Superbad”. Thompson has personality to spare and he plays up the part so well that I wondered how they got away with the dialogue he has to speak. In a battle of wits with Wheeler, the kid wins most of the time. Ronnie, is a pre teen firecracker with the mouth of a sailor. The two kids that Danny and Wheeler get matched up with are nightmares themselves. If “Big Bird” was a human, he’d look and move like Gayle (of course that language would never come out of his mouth). Before she was drained of all her charm by “Glee” she made this movie a comic gem by her presence. ![]() Her lines are some of the most foul and most quotable and of course the most funny. She is in the movie for about ten minutes and steals every scene she appears in. Sturdy Wings is founded and run by addict turned do-gooder Gayle Sweeny, played by the acerbic Jane Lynch. ![]() Congratulations, you’re stupid in three languages. Venti is the only one that doesn’t mean large. In fact, tall is large and grande is Spanish for large. Thankfully, before that happens we get an exchange like this:ĭanny: No, venti is twenty. Obviously, the events in the film are designed to be a wake up call for him to adjust his attitude. ![]() Paul Rudd plays him as if he has a chip on his shoulder and he uses it to justify being a douche to everyone around him. Danny is at the point in life where he is afraid he is settling and he does not like it. Wheeler’s counterpart is Danny, the spokesperson for an energy drink who despises his job. You don’t think I’ve noticed those 34 C’s in the camouflage tank top setting up a tent directly to the left of us? Or how about those twin cannons hiking up a mountain ridge 50 yards due west? Or the ridge itself? Round mounds of grass shaped like… You know, being aware without drawing attention. Wheeler: Never stare at the boobies, kid. Wheeler is an amiable goof who probably will not get far in life but who deserves every friend he has. While there are some drug references, this is not a stoner film like the Seth Rogan comedies of the past ten years. As Wheeler, the less ambitious and more socially satisfied of the two, he espouses wisdom like a college student, after midnight on a three hour buzz from the hot box he got out of on his way to the frat party. He has made a bunch of films that are entertaining and while he is not really a thespian per se, he is usually cast very well and “Role Models” may very well be his perfect role. I’m not sure why Sean William Scott gets the crap I hear flung at him. Here they are matched with a couple of youngsters and the bonding and hilarity ensue. They get sent over to “Sturdy Wings” a mentoring organization along the lines of Big Brothers. Two guys who work together get into a legal tangle and have to do some community service as a way of avoiding jail time. This is dumb comedy done in a smart way and it has so many quotable lines that it could easily displace Caddyshack on the list of guy movies that guys will quote incessantly. If you are a fan of films like “I Love You Man” or “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” then you don’t want to miss this treat starring the slacker gods Sean William Scott and Paul Rudd. It is just funny as all get out with wiseacre talk, inappropriate life lessons and a cast of funny people who are just trying to entertain you for a couple of hours. There is no historical value, cinema language, or back story intrigue to make this a movie you should see. I just bought tickets for three different Concerts in February for the Kiss End of the Road Tour, so this seemed like an easy pick to return to this month.
