You are to imagine that you are an atomic force microscope (AFM) instrument manufacturer interested in convincing a potential materials science customer that (1) they should be investing in an AFM to get crucial insights necessary for their research; and (2) they should buy your AFM. As part of your pitch, you should provide them with a brief introduction to what AFM actually isincluding a brief history of its development, what it allows you to do, and what typical operating parameters or performance metrics are. You are to do this as a 5-7 page (double-spaced) prospectus.

Finding water on other planets
write about how some of the information can be used to find water on other planets. What type of telescopes and what forms of light are being used? What are the key pieces of information they are looking form (the signature clues that water is present)?
break down the paper into these following parts:
-An explanation of the electromagnetic spectrum and the relationship between frequency/energy/wavelength
-The types of telescopes that can be used to detect water and what makes them so special
-The characteristic readings that scientists are looking for.
must be 5-7 pages, not including the citations page. Double spaced.
A citations page is required and must contain at least two references from scientific journals.
NO QUOTATIONS OF ANY KIND ARE ALLOWED, EVEN IF THEY ARE CITED
YOU MUST HAVE CITATIONS WITHIN THE BODY OF THE TEXT (if you use a piece of information, you must say which of the references you obtained it from)

Calculating Ksp From Molar Solubility – Solubility Equilibrium Problems – Chemistry
Duration: 16:02
User: n/a – Added: 11/30/17
Watch the video concerning this week’s topics of solubility equilibria and determining Ksp. Make an outline of the video (50 points) and give two examples of worked problems similar to the ones worked in the video (50 points) and submit it here. This assignment is worth 100 points.
How to write an outline
An outline presents a picture of the main ideas and the subsidiary ideas of a subject. Some typical uses of outlining might be an essay, a term paper, a book review, or a speech. For any of these, an outline will show a basic overview and important details. It’s a good idea to make an outline for yourself even if it isn’t required by your professor, as the process can help put your ideas in order.
Some professors will have specific requirements, like requiring the outline to be in sentence form or have a “Discussion” section. A students first responsibility, of course, is to follow the requirements of the particular assignment. What follows illustrates only the basics of outlining.
Basic outline form
The main ideas take Roman numerals (I, II, …) and should be in all-caps. Sub-points under each main idea take capital letters (A, B, …) and are indented. Sub-points under the capital letters, if any, take Arabic numerals (1, 2, …) and are further indented. Sub-points under the numerals, if any, take lowercase letters (a, b, …) and are even further indented.
MAIN IDEA
Subsidiary idea or supporting idea to I
Subsidiary idea or supporting idea to I
Subsidiary idea to B
Subsidiary idea to B
Subsidiary idea to 2
Subsidiary idea to 2
MAIN IDEA
Subsidiary or supporting idea to II
Subsidiary idea to II
Subsidiary idea to II
MAIN IDEA
It is up to the writer to decide on how many main ideas and supporting ideas adequately describe the subject. However, traditional form dictates that if there is a I in the outline, there has to be a II; if there is an A, there has to be a B; and so forth.
Outline example
Suppose you are outlining a speech about gerrymandering, and these are some of the ideas you feel should be included: voter discrimination, “majority-minority” districts, the history of the term, and several Supreme Court cases.
To put these ideas into outline form, decide first on the main encompassing ideas. These might be: I. History of the term, II. Redistricting process, III. Racial aspects, IV. Current events.
Next, decide where the rest of the important ideas fit in. Are they part of the redistricting process, or do they belong under racial aspects? The complete outline might look like this:
Gerrymandering in the U.S.
HISTORY OF THE TERM
REDISTRICTING PROCESS
Responsibility of state legislatures
Census data
Preclearance
Partisan approaches
RACIAL ASPECTS
Gomillion v. Lightfoot (1960)
Civil rights
Voter discrimination
Voting Rights Act (1965)
Majority-minority districts
CURRENT EVENTS
Effects of gerrymandering in 2012 and 2016 elections
Gill v. Whitford Supreme Court Case
It is only possible to make an outline if you have familiarity with the subject. As you do research, you may find it necessary to add, subtract or change the position of various ideas. If you change your outline, ensure that logical relationship among ideas is preserved.

Animal lover
How I became interested in wanting to becoming a veterinarian.
As a kid I got my first dog Cody and was interested in how to properly take care of him.
Then I received a fish and enjoyed taking care of him and learning what they like(gold fish)
Then I got a cat for a short period of time and enjoyed the demeanor as well.
geograpghy
For this forum, find a recent news article (within the past 12 months) that describes the latest developments in a conflict, issue, or other major event in the Russian or European realm. Provide a brief summary of the conflict/issue/event that your article describes, and your own analysis of how this issue might affect the realm, and might be resolved. Be sure that the topic of the news article has some connection with the geographical issues and concepts we’ve been discussing, and be sure to highlight these connections in your discussion.
California
There are 2 parts for this assignment.
First part, I want you to comment about what you enjoyed or didn’t understand about the readings. I’ve attached the 3 readings.
Second part,
Covid-19 has shown us that we are all interconnected in the world. In this forum, discuss how CA has been portrayed in relationship to the Covid-19 pandemic. CA was one of the first states to require mandatory social distancing. Please discuss how you think CA has been unique in this time of crisis.
I’ve attached the classmate’s response to each questions so I want you to follow the structure.

coral reefs
This assignment was inspired by the New York Times editorial, A World Without Reefs, wherein the author argues that the worlds coral reefs are doomed and it is far too late to do anything about their demise. (See: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/14/opinion/a-world-without-coral-reefs.html.) This controversial article inspired a blog on the New York Times online opinion page (Dot Earth) titled, Reefs in the Anthropocene Zombie Ecology? (See: http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/14/reefs-in-the-anthropocene-zombie-ecology/) Your assignment is to review both the original editorial and the public reaction it received. Then, write an essay of at least 1,500 words either defending or refuting the editorial authors position. Be sure to carefully cite sources and credit any quotations appropriately and in the proper format
Journey of a Carbon Atom
. In this essay you will use your imagination and write an 750-1000 word creative story about a carbon atoms journey through time, beginning in prehistoric times and ending in the present. Although this journey will be fantastical, your descriptions and processes should be fact based and referenced. For this essay please:
Describe the form carbon takes through 5-10 transformations.
One of your transformations should include time spent bound up as an essential component of a fossil fuel, and
One should include the form carbon takes in an oil byproduct today, and
One should include the process of photosynthesis and respiration.
I am looking for a demonstration of an understanding of the: carbon cycle, geological time, photosynthesis, and the use of fossil fuels as a resource.
