What Does SEC Mean in Organic Chemistry?

What Does SEC Mean in Organic Chemistry?You may be wondering what does SEC stand for in organic chemistry. This is a very simple question that can lead to a more detailed answer.The definition of the symbol S in organic chemistry is represented by the letter 'S'. This means that the second element is S, and the first element is represented by an 's'. When we combine the first two elements we get the symbol for the compound 'S'. This is the chemical symbol for sugar.Symbology is the scientific name given to symbols or concepts used in order to represent something. There are many different symbols used in organic chemistry. Many are symbolic and some are direct realizations of molecules. Let's take a look at some of the most commonly used symbols:The ACAN (Abbreviation for Arsenic-Carbon Anion) is a symbol which is used to represent the compound A and C. The 'C' is directly visible on the two A and the 'A' is hidden from view by the 'N'. The symbol ACAN stands for 'Abine' or arsenic an d 'Ab' is the prefix for carbonyl, which is a molecule that contains carbon and hydrogen.The CLOTHING (Equivalent Exchange Composition) symbol is used to represent the compound CLOTH and EE. The 'Q' in CLOTH stands for 'quaternary ammonium' and the 'E' stands for electron. EE stands for 'exahumene' or ethylene. The CLOTH stands for 'chloroformaldehyde' or chlorine and the 'E' stands for enantiomer. The dye CLOTH stands for 'chlorobenzene or chloroformaldehyde'.There are also other symbols that represent these compounds. C is a symbol that represents carbonyl and the 'O' stands for oxygen. The symbol for the carbonyl group is called the Carbonyl Group and this represents the carbonyl group. The group itself is composed of four carbons, each of which is named differently. The most common one is the 'C' and the most common one is the 'I'.Some of the words used in organic chemistry are commonly known as acronyms. These acronyms are combinations of a single symbol, like the symbol for CO and the single letter C. Some of the acronyms for carbon dioxide are CO2, CO. Carbon dioxide is the major component of our atmosphere. The acronym KNO3 stands for a combination of the letters K and N.

College Supports for Students with ADHD

College Supports for Students with ADHD If you are sending your teen off to college this August, now it the time to make sure that the proper ADHD supports will be in place when they arrive. Even though your teen is about to gain a great deal of independence, they will likely need help and encouragement to get their ADHD supports in place before college begins. Research campus services with your teen, and help them send emails and make phone calls if they need to schedule appointments. Aim to create a solid plan that covers each of these areas: Academic Accommodations: Think about the academic supports that your teen has accessed during high school. Did they have a 504 Plan, an individualized education plan (IEP), or an informal plan that allowed them to have things like extended time on tests or the ability to take exams in a separate room with no distractions? These accommodations and others are available to college students with ADHD who need them. In order to qualify, colleges require documented evidence of an ADHD diagnosis. At most schools, this means recent results from an evaluation that includes cognitive and achievement testing, as well as an assessment of ADHD symptoms and impairments. Often a signed letter from a pediatrician or psychiatrist is not sufficient. Contact the colleges learning support center to find out about their requirements. Also find out about other academic supports on campus, like tutoring services and writing centers. Encourage your teen to sign up for services when school starts rather tha n waiting until they are struggling. Its all about preventing academic problems before they happen. Medication management: If your teen takes medication to manage their ADHD, find out if the psychiatrists on-campus provide ADHD medication management services. Some colleges and universities require students to see doctors and psychiatrists off campus to have their ADHD medication prescriptions filled. Others require a diagnosis from an off-campus physician before they will begin prescribing medications. The campus medical center will be able to answer questions about the services provided on-campus, and will give referrals for off-campus providers if one is needed. Social Success. All college students, and especially those with ADHD, have more success socially when they join clubs and participate in extracurricular activities. Have casual conversations with your teen about the activities theyd like to participate in on campus. Encourage them to learn about the clubs and sports available at their school. Just dont take over and do the research for them unless they ask for your help (and even then, do the online research together)! Theyll be more likely to join if they feel like participating was their own idea and not something their mom or dad told them to do. Talk about Alcohol. My own research and that of my colleagues has shown that college students with ADHD are more likely to experience problems with alcohol on campus than students without ADHD. Even if students with ADHD drink the same amount of alcohol as their peers without ADHD, they are likely to experience greater negative consequences. Plus, if school is already difficult to manage with ADHD, adding alcohol to the mix is only going to make it harder. Make sure your teen knows the risks, and that their risks are greater because of their ADHD. If your teen isnt going to be receptive to this information coming from you, have them talk with another trusted family member who they look up to, or an older friend, or a therapist or teacher who they respect. Counseling services. If you think your child may have difficulty with the transition to college, help them preemptively schedule a few sessions at the schools counseling center. Counseling center therapists are experts when it comes to the college transition. If your child needs ongoing support, theyll be able to provide referrals to off-campus providers who specialize in ADHD. With proactive supports in place, your child can begin their college career on the right foot and help ensure four years of success. ABOUT DR.

Backed by Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Dean Heller of Nevada and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, the Graham-Cassidy-Heller-Johnson measure would stop Obamacare’s mandate to buy insurance, give more power to states and alter health care program Medicaid. However, PBS reports that this measure stands out from its predecessors for, “…its much more aggressive proposal to shift funding to states. It would move a trillion dollars in federal health care spending directly to states, in a formula the senators say would be based on the state’s percentage of lower-income people and (to a lesser degree) older and sicker residents.” GEORGIA TECH CAMPUS STILL UNSETTLED IN WAKE OF SHOOTING, WASHINGTON ST. GIVES BACK TO THE COMMUNITY Screenshot from a video that shows the moments before the shooting of a Georgia Tech student (Image: YouTube/Inside Edition) In the wake of a campus police officer shooting a student on Saturday and protests that followed, the campus of Georgia Tech is still shaken and unsettled, according to Inside Higher Education. Scout Schultz, a 21-year-old student with a history of mental-health issues, died Sunday after being shot in the heart, family members said. Schultz was the president of the student group representing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer students and preferred the pronouns “they” and “them,” having identified as nonbinary and intersex, reports IHE. Many, including Schultzs family, have questioned the training given to the officer and why campus officers arent armed with tasers.

College Guide to Cannabis

College Guide to Cannabis Image from Flickr via Vaporizers_ *I am not a medically licensed doctor or a certified scientist on this subject. I have gathered my facts from published studies, testimonials, and general research of published literature. I have cited sources whenever possible. There are many, many angles at which we can view the effects of marijuana. Here, I have tried to establish a basic overview of the plant, its use, and social impacts. This is not a comprehensive guide, but it is intended to spread awareness and promote thoughtfulness in our actions. From Flickr via Whirling Phoenix Recently Colorado and Washington state have legalized Cannabis at the state level for  recreational  use for adults. Marijuana legalization is one of the most controversial issues our nation faces today. Personally, since it doesnt hurt anyone I think the decision is up to the individual, but not everyone agrees. I think much of the debate can be soothed over with a little more education about what the  drug is, how it affects our bodies, and what social impacts may come from its use. Marijuana Tax from Flickr via startmakingasense A Brief History Marijuana has been used medicinally and  recreationally in the Eastern part of our world for an estimated 5000  years. If we skip ahead a few thousand years, in the 1600s the crop was brought to America by the Jamestown, VA settlers. George Washington grew it, and it was even used in medicine in US pharmacies. Ironically, California was the first state to pass a prohibition law against its use in the early 1900s. Throughout the 90s there was a progression of limitations put on its use until it was made illegal everywhere in the United States. The US government patented marijuana as an antioxidant and neuroprotectant in 2003 (which makes little sense to me considering it has been used since before the US was even formed, but anyway). In 2005, it was declared illegal at the federal level, even to be used as medicine. So, even though adults in Colorado and Washington can freely enjoy its use, they are still at risk for arrest if the federal government decides they want to restrict them. Principle Source: Marijuana History Timeline For a Cool Infographic visit: Hazy History of Marijuana From Flickr via Rafaellduartee Is it Intoxicating? An intoxicant is a substance that poisons the body, or is harmful to it in any dose, like alcohol. Although the term is frequently used to describe bud, it is not often explained how it is intoxicating. The intoxication is described as euphoric and relaxing with the possibility for anxiety and possible paranoia. Where it is legal, marijuana is often used to treat anxiety and may even help with fear extinction (possibly for PTSD). Generally, though, it is a nontoxic substance because it does not poison the body in any dose. From Flickr via TMartin_33 Dosage Marijuana is a mind-altering drug. It changes the way you think about some things. More specifically it can affect your  mood, memory, appetite, pain sensations, cognition, and emotions.  The chemicals that affect your brain alter your perception. They do not cause hallucinations. However very high doses, especially of edibles may cause vivid imaginations. Much of the drugs possible negative effects, such as anxiety and paranoia, may be attributed to excess consumption in a short period of time, causing the user to feel overwhelmed and confused about her or his internal and external surroundings. The strength of the effect is really based on the individual: their tolerance, personal  preference, and why they are using it. It is up to the user to decide when enough is enough. For  inexperienced  users it is recommended that they start with a small amount (one bite of brownie or one hit or puff) and then see how they feel. It is impossible to overdose on marijuana. Primary Source: Experts Recommendations From Flickr via Liz Henry Your Brain on Cannabinoids Naturally, your brain cells (neurons) produce endogenous forms of cannabinoids called endocannabinoids (more specifically, anandamide). They are released and bind to cannabinoid receptors on presynaptic neurons. (Basically, they bind to preexisting doors on your neurons that allow chemicals to enter/exit.) This sends a signal to the firing cell to release less of a neurotransmitter, helping to reduce pain  (- click for a video). Exocannabinoids, from the cannabis plant, affect cells in the same way, but come from outside the cell. Cannabinoid receptors are one of the most  abundant  G-protein coupled receptors in the brain; called CB1 they are present almost everywhere. CB2 receptors also allow cannabinoids to bind and are primarily located in the body and the immune system. The active ingredient in cannabis is called delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). When THC binds to a receptor, it causes less of the neurotransmitter (cell information) to be released and passed on to the next cell, except for dopamine (reward feeling) which is released more abundantly, possibly explaining the euphoria. This calming of the nerves may impair short term memory and memory recall. There is still a lot unknown to the public about THCs affect on our brains and bodies, but the empirical evidence up to this point suggests that the results are mostly beneficial when used moderately and in a controlled setting (i.e. not while drivi ng). Psychologically, it is common for a user to experience heightened sensations meaning tastes, smells, sounds, sights, and feelings are intensified. This phenomenon may be similar to the heightened sense of happiness or anxiety. From Flickr via narconon Addiction Marijuana can be addictive. Especially for younger or under-educated users. But it can only be as addictive as you let it be, like an addiction to cheeseburgers. Basically, there are two types of addictions physical and psychological. Physical addictions are for substances, or behaviors, that your body craves, and without them will have withdrawal symptoms. For example, a person who smokes  cigarettes  becomes physically addicted when the receptors in their brain for nicotine desensitize, and then want more nicotine. A person who smokes marijuana may become addicted in the sense they continue using it when it negatively impacts  their personal life, school and/or job. But there is nothing about the plant itself that will make you need it. Like with most things, it requires the user to have self control. Some withdrawal symptoms may include:    insomnia, restlessness, loss of appetite, depression, irritability, and anger. Keep in mind though, that many reasons people use marijuana in the first place is to regulate sleep, appetite, and mood, so it is not too surprising that they may be less regulated once use stops. From Flickr via miriyaparino Hemp The Marijuana, or hemp, plant has a multitude of uses not even associated with getting high. It is biodegradable and a cleaner source than petroleum fuels. Currently it is illegal to grow in the US for industrial use, but it can be imported as for the cases of hemp seeds and clothing. And because hemp is one of the fastest growing crops we can plant, we dont have to worry about running low as we do with other natural resources. It can be used to make: concrete energy (fuel) hemp seeds (protein!) rope (Thanks, Columbus!) Hemp is the most durable natural vegetable fiber. clothing ( it softens with each wash) cosmetics animal food carpeting platic-molded products insect  repellent building construction Primary Sources: http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/ncnu02/v5-284.html http://www.green-organic-world.com/hemp-plant.html http://www.voteindustrialhemp.com/ http://www.growandmake.com/hemp-vs-cotton From Flickr via BrooklynSheWrote Gateway Drug Blaming Marijuana for the harmful use of other drugs is understandable since legally they are in the same category. However, there is nothing inherent about the plant that will cause you to crave it or any other drug. I think that where it is legal there is less of a risk for criminal drug dealers to push other types of drugs, but that seems to be uncommon even in areas where it is still illegal. Once again, it comes back to self control. From Flickr via jcamilobernal Method Use The media often portrays marijuana as a party drug or reserved only for those terminally ill. These are only two types of users out of many. It has potential for physiological and psychological benefits, when used with care. There is still a lot not known, mostly because of its illegality. Smoking vs  Eating: When used for health benefits, it is probably best to eat it because you avoid the smoke. There are studies that say smoking will lead to lung cancer, and there are studies that say smoking will strengthen lungs against cancer. It is important to remember that a studys conclusions are only as strong as their methods, so when drawing conclusions we should think critically about the whole picture. Cooking with the plant will reduce any risks associated with smoking. The doses will likely be more potent, though. Some reasons for use include: Help with exercising Help with meditating Concentration (remember your dosage or this can backfire) As an Anti-inflammatory For PMS (mood regulation) Immune system booster, homeostasis Hormone regulation Spirituality Glaucoma Social anxiety Treatment of Cancer (Lung Cancer Cell Death) Reducing nausea  diarrhea Theres more. I encourage you to do your own research, but if you insist, here is another non-comprehensive list: Click   From Flickr via Rafaellduartee Legality While it is legally in some states medicinally and/or recreationally, the federal government still bans its use for personal, medicinal, or scientific reasons.

Organic Chemistry Tutor Unit Circle - Setting Up Your Circle

Organic Chemistry Tutor Unit Circle - Setting Up Your CircleAs a child, you will likely remember the organic chemistry tutor unit circle from your school days. The circle had some say in which part of the science class you would be able to take and some say in which grade you would need to reach in order to be eligible for that class.Sometimes, the circle has an impact on the way you will learn science class. For example, if your teacher used to be using the circle, you may never have been encouraged to do something else. For example, if your teacher only use the circle to determine who was in your science class or who needed to study more, you might think of doing the same thing.This is not fair, because there are many ways you can apply for organic chemistry tutor unit circle. In fact, there are some ways that you can even use this to your advantage. You see, in some circles, the kids just want to get out of the circle so they can study a little bit more.Although this could work to your advantage, it might also be best to wait to find out the circumstances surrounding the unit circle. When your parents decide to be more flexible, then you should take advantage of that opportunity to stay flexible with your own circle.Then, when you do find out about the circle, make sure you consider your options. If you found out about the circle, then you should still ask your parents to allow you to meet with their advisor and set up your future circle. Then, just wait to see what type of consideration your parents make of the issue.The other option is to use the organic chemistry tutor unit circle as an excuse to study more. Do not let anyone down; study until your marks are decent. This is the last chance for you to study well.Do not allow this new circle to get in the way of your studies; give yourself a break and enjoy your education. Good luck!
