Research in the uses of silicon
THE HISTORY OF SILICON Baron Jons Jakob Berzelius was born near Linkoping in Sweden. He studied medicine at the University of Uppsala, but became interested in chemistry . He became a professor and lecturer at Stockholm in 1807. In 1808, he joined the Stockholm Academy of Sciences, and in 1815, started a 17 year career as a chemistry professor at the Carolin Medico-Chirurgical Institute, also in Stockholm. He became the permanent secretary of the Stockholm Academy of Sciences in 1818. Berzelius was the first person to isolate silicon in 1823, and thus he is credited with its discovery. Due to his contributions to science, he was named Baron by Charles XIV John (Swedish and Norwegian king) in 1835. Berzelius, an accomplished scientist, discovered cerium, selenium, and thorium, and was the first person able to isolate silicon, zirconium, and titanium. He created the chemical notation system which is still used, and also came up with the theory of radicals. However, the achievement Berzelius is most recognized for is his measurement of atomic weights. Berzelius was able to isolate/identify silicon in 1924. He began the reaction by heating (in a container with silica) potassium metal chips. The reaction below resulted: SiF4 + 4K --> 4KF + Si (silicon tetrafluoride + potassium --> potassium fluoride + silicon) The Si and KF mixture must be separated chemically.

Future Technologies
Special Topic: Future technologies Prognoses of the future technical development Nobody really can say in which direction our science goes. There are so many different subjects that can revolutionise the whole world. Here are some examples of these future technologies: Gene engineering: The scientists think that they will have completely decoded the DNA (Desoxy Ribo Nuclein Acid) of humans in 50 years. After that we will be able to create a human with all the attitudes we want to give him. (more intelligent or good looking, for example). Today we are able to clone an organism and force bacteria to produce medicine. It sounds simply you just put the gene (building plan) for the enzyme (medicine) into the DNA of a bacterium and you let this bacterium multiply itself. After a certain time you have millions of bacterias which produce the medicine you want. Fusion energy: This technology can change society completely. We would have unlimited energy for the whole world. The sun is the best example. It has been burning for billions of years just with the help of fusion energy. With further researches perhaps it will be possible to replicate any atomic element, connection, molecule and material we want. Robots: Today many people could not imagine working without their computer. This computer technology is the base of Robots, Computers that can walk and talk. Today we
Ultrasounds and why they are helpful to humans
EXTENDED ESSAY Ultrasounds and why they are helpful to humans Ivan La Bruna D #0261-011 American School of Milan IB Extended Essay May 2003 Word Count: 3770 Abstract Ultrasounds are sound waves that exceed the limit of human hearing. In latin ultrasound means that it goes beyond a boundary, in this case the sound wave goes over our hearing capacities. The study of sound waves could be considered ancient study because sound was always an interest of the people. This is why people created many musical instruments in different areas, the most curious thing is that the shapes differ from location and also produce different sounds. Without these studies on sound scientists or explorers probably would have not reached the level of wave reproduction there is in modern times. In the past sound waves were reproduced with wind and string instruments while in modern days scientists are able to create a sound wave with specific requirements. What will be discussed in this essay will be an explanation on what aer ultrasounds and why they are applied to society. Ultrasounds are used mainly in the medical environment but also in detecting the distance of objects, on submarines, and other uses which will be discussed. The good thing about ultrasounds is that they are not very expensive and for this reason it has expanded more and more. For example ultrasounds are used in the

ITM Assignment-Business School Project Background The Aytoun building is currently situated on Aytoun Street of Manchester city centre; this is the home of Manchester Metropolitan Business School. The plans are for the current site of the university to be moved to a more appropriate location situated near the other metropolitan campuses on oxford road near by All Saints campus. This project is involving the moving of the site for current Manchester Metropolitan Business School which is currently situated on Aytoun Street, Manchester. The planned destination for the new site is a new building situated on Oxford Road. This project is planned to take place in May next year, and preparation for this move needs to be of the highest standard. For this assignment we are going to design a Project Definition Report for this project to allow external contractors to analyse the best possible proposal. We need to include details about all aspects of the move and all sectors of the move, the different sections of the business school that will need to be taken into careful consideration are all offices, the library, information systems support and the drop-in, computer laboratories, reception, media services, and all other associated services housed within the business school. It has been decide that the move from the current destination for economical and financial reasons. The new

Systems Case Study
For this system of control study, I am going to investigate the Information Technology computer security system in Canary Wharf, London. Canary Wharf is a development on the Isle of Dogs, a complex of Stone- and glass-sheathed office buildings begun in the 1980s and a central 50-story skyscraper, One Canada Square, dominates it. In 1987 a rapid transit system, the Docklands Light Railway, was built to link the Isle of Dogs and other areas. Some of the systems in the database that I will focus on include: * What the Information Technology defense systems are * If the system is penetrated, what happens? * The techniques developed and used to protect single computers and the network * The different types of harmful effects to hardware, software and physical loss of data * The simple and then more complex methods of data protection and an in depth look at the Data Protection Act. (See appendix one) * The different types of tracing a hacker and what they use to infiltrate * The most widely used system of decoding in the US which is Data Encryption Standard (DES) (See appendix two) I will look at all of these points in depth to find out what and why hackers break into systems especially as Canary Wharf is already the third rated terrorist attackers point in the world even through computer security as well as through physical security. The system itself has a very secure

Title: select either a qualitative or quantitative study, then make a critical analysis of it using any eight of the following categories: introduction, abstract, documentation, literature review, aims, context, research design, research methods, reliability, validity, mode of analysis. The purpose of research studies can be seen upon as to explore the information within the given environment and consider their viability and effectiveness and whether these can add value for learners to the overall experience. The term 'Research' can consist of different meanings, research enquires can be defined as; a methodical, formal and precise process employed to gain solutions to problems and to discover and interpret new facts and relationships. (Waltz and Bausell, 1981, p.1). Therefore the ultimate goals of research are to formulate questions and aim to find the answers to those questions. The immediate goals of research are categorised as exploration, description, prediction, explanation and action, where they provide a strategy for figuring out which questions to ask and which answers to seek. (Sarantakos, 1993). Primarily this assignment will focus on a specific educational research study, based on 'Bullying and racism among Asian schoolchildren in Britain' conducted by Mike Eslea and Kafeela Mukhtar. (Eslea and Mukhtar, 2000.) The study is formulated and conducted upon the
Describe the benefits of technological developments in equipment and facility design in two contrasting sports Sport Football
Task 3 Describe the benefits of technological developments in equipment and facility design in two contrasting sports Sport Football Equipment Design features and benefits Football boots are light weight and are made of such materials as kangaroo leather. Most top level players have sock-liners which fit with the contours of foot to provide extra comfort and strategically-placed traction blades provide maximum grip. Football boots help with a player grip, acceleration and turning ability. Footballs have had technological advancements such as having air retention system, being high density and having a high abrasion surface which provides extra durability. The match balls played with in the premiership is precision engineered to exact standards to ensure that it is produced to within 3g of its ideal weight and to an exact circumference of 68.5cm. The benefits of the newer footballs are the increased swerve that the ball offers and a better accuracy of passing. Gloves The latest pair of reusch goalie gloves helps to prevent injury to the goalies hands through reusch Ortho-Tec glove which provides protection for vulnerable areas of the hand. The glove's upper hand is reinforced in a way that the fingers - including the thumb - are braced against forces occurring during a ball's impact. The system not only prevents injuries, it is also suitable to disburden and protect an
