Definition Organic
Category: Rawfood & Organics
What is the exact definition of Organic Chemistry ?
Are hydrocarbons the only compounds of carbon which are studied in organic chemisty.??
Therefore, would it be right to say “Organic Chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the study of carbon compounds”
OR
does this sound better — “Organic Chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the study of carbon compounds or specific carbon compounds such as hydrocarbons .”
Thanks in advance?
1. Are hydrocarbons the only compounds of carbon which are studied in organic chemisty.??
No, they are not.
2. Therefore, would it be right to say “Organic Chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the study of carbon compounds” This is much better!
3.does this sound better — “Organic Chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the study of carbon compounds or specific carbon compounds such as hydrocarbons .” not really.
The best way of defining organic chemistry is to say what it doesn’t include: “Organic Chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the study of carbon compounds excluding the simple compounds like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, carbon disulfide etc”"

3000yrs: The Story of Chopsticks $59 The concept of applying various space forms is always an important issue when facing an exhibition design project. How can the forms of space be used to communicate in Exhibition Design? This question will be explored and defined through the creation of an exhibition on the subject of chopsticks. The book aims to explore the concept of space and form in exhibition design, particularly in terms of design strategies and their meanings. Although the boundary is still vague between architecture and exhibition design currently, my intention is give an example of a clear definition. Due to the trend of deconstructivism and developments in architectural technology, more dynamic space forms were introduced into various environments than in the past. The geometric and organic forms both offer more variety for us to explore. The book provides fundamental knowledge and examples of space and form in exhibition design. The results of the study may help to sensitize designers to various design strategies involving space and form, and to the possible benefits of using space and form for creative solutions. |

Attack Aircraft: Strike Fighter, Ground-Attack Aircraft, Attack Helicopter, Future Offensive Air System, Flying Bomb $8.87 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Ground-attack aircraft are military aircraft designed to attack targets on the ground and are often deployed as close air support for, and in proximity to, their own ground forces. The proximity to friendly forces require precision strikes from these aircraft that are not possible with typical bomber aircraft. The resultant proximity to enemy targets also require aircraft that are more robust than other types of military aircraft. Examples include the American A-10 Thunderbolt II and the Russian Sukhoi Su-25 Frogfoot. They are typically deployed as close air support to ground forces, their role is tactical rather than strategic, operating at the front of the battle rather than against targets deeper in the enemy’s rear. As such, they are often attached to and in the direct command and control structures of army units as opposed to air force units, though tactical air forces attached to army formations are still an organic part of the air force and ultimately under air-force command. A number of names have or are used for ground-attack aircraft: attack aircraft, fighter-bomber, tactical fighter, tank-buster, tactical bomber, strafer, strike aircraft, attack helicopter, gunship, etc. A light strike aircraft is another category, based on adapted trainers or other light aircraft. Like most combat aircraft classifications, the definition of ground attack is somewhat vague. A key difference between it and otherwise similar designs like attack aircraft is the expectation that they will receive small arms fire and are generally armored to protect the pilot against this threat. In general a ground-attack aircraft will also be smaller and less “fighter like” than designs like strike fighters, attack aircraft or interdictors. In US service ground-attack… More: |

Biological Discoveries And Problems $12.71 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER TV. Biology. Although the evolutionist holds that in the course of ages out of the few have evolved the many, and to him attempting to survey the universe in the past as well as in the present, all things merge one into another, and hard and fast lines of demarcation are impossible to be drawn, yet he recognises the great differences that may in time obtain between bodies that have varied along different lines, though their original forms may have been the same. Hence he makes use of the exceedingly convenient phrases known as definitions, whilst he is conscious that not a few of such definitions will not hold in relation to the extreme members of the series they are intended to define. Whilst, therefore, we feel assured that in their lowest forms living things graduate into the non-living and that no definition will completely include all that we name organic to-day whilst it excludes all that we name inorganic, it is convenient, nay necessary, to adopt some definition that will point out the most essential differences between the majority of living forms and the majority of non-living forms. A. Definition of Life.—Of the multifarious definitions of life that have been suggested, only a few of the most notable will be mentioned. They will be those of Schelling, of Richerand, of Bradlaugh, of De Blainville, of Lewes, of Spencer. (1) Schelling.—Life is the tendency to individuation. It has been pointed out ere now that this definition includes crystallisation. It may be said,in passing, that probably no definition can be framed that will exclude the phenomena of crystallisation. But to the writer another objection seems to apply to the above definition. The use of the word ” tendency ” would appear to be objectionable. A definition of life that only states |

Building community: African dancing and drumming in the little village of Tallahassee, Florida. $49.99 A socially created community has emerged in Tallahassee, Florida, with West African dancing and drumming at its core. This phenomenological study is to describe and understand the nature of the African dancing and drumming community in Tallahassee, Florida, and its function within its participants’ lives as focused on from a group paradigm using a participant case study design. The basic research question is what are the factors that allow African dancing and drumming to help build “community” as the participants describe community? This research uses social survey document analysis, participant observation, interviews (personal and oral history), and focus group methodology to (1) provide an accurate historical account of the development, major milestones, and contributors to the Tallahassee African dance and drum scene, (2) determine what the participants mean by the term “community” and establish a definition of community based on their meaning utilizing the McMillan and Chavis (1986, 1996) model, and (3) identify what factors led to the creation and sustaining of this sense of community.;Based on my research, I was able to develop a context specific definition for the term community: The Tallahassee African Dance and Drum community consists of multi-generation members, relating and functioning like a family, providing support and energy for one another, while paying homage to the African cultural traditions, developing through an organic evolution and maintaining through a love for the art. Additionally, through this research process I have identified a set of key elements necessary to create and sustain the members’ sense of community. These elements are: (a) appreciation of tradition; (b) concept of family; (c) communication; (d) support; (e) energy; (f) love of the arts.;I have found that in the Tallahassee African dance and drum community, dance has extended beyond a classroom experience and has integrated itself into a way of functioning for most |

Evaluating microbial role in terrestrial carbon storage. $49.99 Studies of the transformation and sequestration of soil organic carbon have dramatically increased in recent years due to growing interest in understanding the global carbon cycle as it pertains to climate change. Dynamics of the terrestrial carbon pool are heavily influenced by the catabolic and anabolic activity of microorganisms. Microbial biomass and degrading residues have been reported to play an important role in the sequestration of carbon into soil stable carbon pool, while this control is poorly elucidated. To better understand the microbial involvement on the stabilization of carbon in soils, I used biomarkers (PLFAs and amino sugars) to investigate microbial role in various projects. Furthermore, the protocol of biomarker amino sugar determination was particularly evaluated, scientific concerns were developed, and relevant methodology mechanisms were explored. The study of soil profiles (Ch. 3) revealed that amino sugars preferentially accumulated in the subsoil, supporting the hypothesis that microbial metabolites are refractory and that they may contribute to terrestrial carbon storage. Microbial residue abundance, production and transformation in soils are affected by vegetative species in situ and laboratory experiments (Ch. 4-5). Further discussion on the interpretative traits of biomarker PLFA and amino sugars allow breaking a new path to study the dynamics of soil carbon transformation among different microbial regimens. Additionally, application of isotope dilution method incorporating with mass spectrometry technique suggests the newly biosynthesized amino sugar-glucosamine may be more stable than extant in soil carbon storage (Ch. 6-7). Lastly, I report that a widely used method can cause some aminoglycoside antibiotics to create artifacts that fall under the operational definition of amino sugar-glucosamine or amino sugar-muramic acid in samples that are amino sugar-free (Ch. 8), therefore this methodological deficiency may bias our |

Fermentation (Food) $50 Fermentation in food processing typically refers to the conversion of carbohydrates to alcohols and carbon dioxide or organic acids using yeasts, bacteria, or a combination thereof, under anaerobic conditions. A more restricted definition of fermentation is the chemical conversion of sugars into ethanol. The science of fermentation is known as zymology. Fermentation usually implies that the action of the microorganisms is desirable, and the process is used to produce alcoholic beverages such as wine, beer, and cider. Fermentation is also employed in preservation techniques to create lactic acid in sour foods such as saurkraut, dry sausages, kimchi and yogurt, or vinegar (acetic acid) for use in pickling foods. |

Excerpt: Fermentation in food processing typically is the conversion of carbohydrates to alcohols and carbon dioxide or organic acids using yeasts, bacteria, or a combination thereof, under anaerobic conditions. A more restricted definition of fermentation is the chemical conversion of sugars into ethanol. The science of fermentation is known as zymology. Fermentation usually implies that the action of microorganisms is desirable, and the process is used to produce alcoholic beverages such as wine, beer, and cider. Fermentation is also employed in preservation techniques to create lactic acid in sour foods such as sauerkraut, dry sausages, kimchi and yogurt, or vinegar (acetic acid) for use in pickling foods. Since fruits ferment naturally, fermentation precedes human history. Since ancient times, however, humans have been controlling the fermentation process. The earliest evidence of winemaking dates from eight thousand years ago, in Georgia, in the Caucasus area. Seven-thousand-year-old jars containing the remains of wine have been excavated in the Zagros Mountains in Iran, which are now on display at the University of Pennsylvania. There is strong evidence that people were fermenting beverages in Babylon circa 5000 BC, ancient Egypt circa 3150 BC, pre-Hispanic Mexico circa 2000 BC, and Sudan circa 1500 BC. There is also evidence of leavened bread in ancient Egypt circa 1500 BC and of milk fermentation in Babylon circa 3000 BC. Fren… More: |

Excerpt: Adamant and similar words are used to refer to any especially hard substance, whether composed of diamond , some other gemstone , or some type of metal . Both adamant and diamond derive from the Greek word (adamas ), meaning “untameable”. Adamantite and adamantium (a metallic name derived from the Neo-Latin ending -ium ) are also common variants.Adamantine has, throughout ancient history, referred to anything that was made of a very hard material. Virgil describes Tartarus as having a screeching gate protected by columns of solid adamantine (Aeneid book VI). Later, by the Middle Ages , the term came to refer to diamond , as it was the hardest material then known, and remains the hardest non-synthetic material known.It was in the Middle Ages, too, that adamantine hardness and the lodestone ‘s magnetic properties became confused and combined, leading to an alternate definition in which “adamant” means magnet, falsely derived from the Latin adamare , which means to love or be attached to. Another connection was the belief that adamant (the diamond definition) could block the effects of a magnet. This was addressed in chapter III of Pseudodoxia Epidemica , for instance.Since |

Investigations $30 "It may be that I have stumbled upon an adequate description of life itself." These modest yet profound words trumpet an imminent paradigm shift in scientific, economic, and technological thinking. In the tradition of Schrödinger’s classic What Is Life?, Kauffman’s Investigations is a tour-de-force exploration of the very essence of life itself, with conclusions that radically undermine the scientific approaches on which modern science rests—the approaches of Newton, Boltzman, Bohr, and Einstein. Building on his pivotal ideas about order and evolution in complex life systems, Kauffman finds that classical science does not take into account that physical systems—such as people in a biosphere—effect their dynamic environments in addition to being affected by them. These systems act on their own behalf as autonomous agents, but what defines them as such? In other words, what is life? Kauffman supplies a novel answer that goes beyond traditional scientific thinking by defining and explaining autonomous agents and work in the contexts of thermodynamics and of information theory. Much of Investigations unpacks the progressively surprising implications of his definition. Significantly, he sets the stages for a technological revolution in the coming decades. Scientists and engineers may soon seek to create autonomous agents—both organic and mechanical—that can not only construct things and work, but also reproduce themselves! Kauffman also lays out a foundation for a new concept of organization, and explores the requirements for the emergence of a general biology that will transcend terrestrial biology to seek laws governing biospheres anywhere in the cosmos. Moreover, he presents four candidate laws to explain how autonomous agents co-create their biosphere and the startling idea of a "co-creating" cosmos. A showcase of Kauffman’s most fundamental and significant ideas, |

Molecular dynamics studies of metallic nanoparticles. $108 Metal nanoparticles have many desirable electrical, magnetic, optical, chemical, and physical properties. In order to utilize these properties effectively it is necessary to be able to accurately predict their size-dependent properties. One common method used to predict these properties is with numerical simulation. The numerical simulation technique used throughout this effort is the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method. Using MD simulations I have investigated various metallic nano-particle systems including gold nanoparticles coated with an organic self-assembled monolayer (SAM), the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) reaction of nickel and aluminum nanoparticles, and the mechano-chemical behavior of oxide coated aluminum nanoparticles. The model definition, boundary conditions, and results of these simulations are presented in the following dissertation.;In the first material system investigated MD simulations are used to probe the structure and stability of alkanethiolate self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold nanoparticles. Numerous results and observations from this parametric study are presented here. By analyzing the mechanical and chemical properties of gold nanoparticles at temperatures below the melting point of gold, with different SAM chain lengths and surface coverage properties, we have determined that the material system is metastable. The model and computational results that provide support for this hypothesis are presented.;The second material system investigated, namely sintering of aluminum and nickel, is explored in chapter 4. In this chapter MD simulations are used to simulate the kinetic reaction of Ni and Al particles at the nanometer scale. The affect of particle size on reaction time and temperature for separate nanoparticles has been considered as a model system for a powder metallurgy process. Coated nanoparticles in the form of Ni-coated Al nanoparticles and Al-coated Ni nanoparticles are also analyzed as a model |

Molecule $53.7 A molecule is defined as an electrically neutral group of at least two atoms in a definite arrangement held together by very strong (covalent) chemical bonds. Molecules are distinguished from polyatomic ions in this strict sense. In organic chemistry and biochemistry, the term molecule is used less strictly and also is applied to charged organic molecules and biomolecules. In the kinetic theory of gases the term molecule is often used for any gaseous particle regardless of its composition. According to this definition noble gas atoms are considered molecules despite the fact that they are composed of a single non-bonded atom. A molecule may consist of atoms of a single chemical element, as with oxygen (O2), or of different elements, as with water (H2O). Atoms and complexes connected by non-covalent bonds such as hydrogen bonds or ionic bonds are generally not considered single molecules. No typical molecule can be defined for ionic crystals (salts) and covalent crystals (network solids), although these are often composed of repeating unit cells that extend either in a plane (such as in graphene) or three-dimensionally (such as in diamond or sodium chloride). |

The general definition above includes compound classes with otherwise unrelated chemical structures, properties and uses, including vegetable oils, petrochemical oils, and volatile essential oils. All oils can be traced back to organic sources. An essential oil is a concentrated, hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from plants. An oil is ‘essential’ in the sense that it carries a distinctive scent, or essence, of the plant. Essential oils do not, as a group, need to have any specific chemical properties in common, beyond conveying characteristic fragrances. In history, oil has been used for Vikings, Spartans, etc. in war as they believed it made them stronger. |

Longevity In Organisms Generally. 3. Longevity defined. It is very necessary to have a clear perception of the meaning of the principal terms involved in the consideration of the duration of life. By ‘ longevity’ must be understood the length of time during which life is exhibited in an individual.1 Unless we introduce the term ‘ individual,’ and assign to it a definite meaning, we become involved in numerous difficulties when making a comparison of the length of life in different species of organic beings. However important in a zoological sense the definition of ‘ individual’ may be which regards the various forms and existences appertaining to a species between ovum and ovum, as the individual of that species, for physiological purposes, such a definition cannot be accepted. The whole product of a fertilized germ, whilst it no doubt, in many cases, agrees with all requirements as a definition of the individual of a species, is yet, in many other cases, open to .muchobjection. In the Vertebrata, in Mollusca, in most Insects, such a definition is unobjectionable; but when we consider the numerous examples of asexual reproduction we are led into difficulty. ‘ It seems a questionable use of language to say that the countless masses of Anacharis alsinastrum which, within these few years, have grown up in our rivers, canals, and ponds are all parts of one individual.’i And yet, as this plant does not seed in England, these countless masses, having arisen by asexual multiplication, must be so regarded, if the above definition be accepted. In the Hydrozoa are we to ascribe the same amount of individuality to those forms which give rise to separate polypidoms by the separation of budded offspring, as to those to which these remain attached, to form a compound polypidom ?

One Day It’ll All Make Sense $9.98 With his previous records (released under the name Common Sense), Common demonstrated that he was one of the few Midwestern rappers to have a unique vision, but One Day It’ll All Make Sense is where his talents come into focus. Blending hip-hop with jazz is a ’90s clich? , but Common relies on bebop rhythms and street poetry, resulting in an album that has a loose, organic flow. The grooves have deep roots and the rhymes have humor, heart, and intelligence — few of contemporaries could achieve the emotional impact of “Retrospect for Life” or the gospel-tinged “G.O.D. (Gaining One’s Definition).” And that extra layer of emotional involvement gives One Day It’ll All Make Sense a weight and spirituality that makes the record special. Certainly few of his peers have made an album as musically and lyrically rich as this, and it’s about time others follow his lead. ~ Leo Stanley, Rovi |

Phosphinate $42 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Phosphinates are organophosphorus compounds with the formula OP(OR)R2. Organophosphorus compounds are degradable chemical compounds containing carbon-phosphorus bonds (apart from phosphate and phosphite esters), primarily used in pest control as an alternative to chlorinated hydrocarbons which persist in the environment. Organophosphorus chemistry is the corresponding science of the properties and reactivity of organophosphorus compounds. Phosphorus shares group 5 in the periodic table with nitrogen and phosphorus compounds and nitrogen compounds are somewhat related. The definition of organophosphorus compounds is variable, which can lead to confusion. In industrial and environmental chemistry, an organophosphorus compound need only contain an organic substituent, but need not have a direct P-C bond. |

Possibility, Agency, and Individuality in Leibniz’s Metaphysics $119.33 This work presents Leibniz’s subtle approach to possibility and explores some of its consequential repercussions in his metaphysics. Ohad Nachtomy presents Leibniz’s approach to possibility by exposing his early suppositions, arguing that he held a combinatorial conception of possibility. He considers the transition from possibility to actuality through the notion of agency; the role divine agency plays in actualization; moral agency and human freedom of action and the relation between agency and necessity in comparison to Spinoza. Nachtomy analyzes Leibniz’s notion of nested, organic individuals and their peculiar unity, in distinction from his notion of aggregates.Nachtomy suggests that Leibniz defined possible individuals through combinatorial rules that generate unique and maximally consistent structures of predicates in God’s understanding and that such rules may be viewed as programs for action. He uses this definition to clarify Leibniz’s notions of individuation, relations and his distinction between individual substances and aggregates as well as the notion of organic individuals, which have a nested structure to infinity. Nachtomy concludes that Leibniz’s definition of a possible individual as a program of action helps clarifying the unity and simplicity of nested individuals. The book thus reveals a thread that runs through Leibniz’s metaphysics: from his logical notion of possible individuals to his notion of actual, nested ones. |

Primo Levi’s Narratives of Embodiment: Containing the Human $105 This innovative reading of Primo Levi’s work offers the first sustained analysis in English of his representations of bodies and embodiment. Discussion spans the range of Levi’s works — from testimony to journalism, from essays to science fiction stories — identifying and tracing multiple narratives of embodiment and disembodiment across his oeuvre. These narratives range from the abject, disembodied condition of prisoners in Auschwitz, to posthuman or cyborg individuals, whose bodies merge with technological devices. Levi’s representations of bodies are explored in relation to theories of embodiment and posthumanism, bringing his work into new dialogue with critical discourses on these issues. Taking inspiration from Levi’s definition of the human being as a constructor of containers, as well as from the recurring references to both material and metaphorical containing structures in his work, the book suggests that for Levi, embodiment involves constant negotiations of containment. He depicts the complex relationships between physical and social bodies, the material and the immaterial self, the conscious and unconscious subject, the organic and the technologically-enhanced body, engaging with evolving understandings of the boundaries of the body, the self, and the human. |

Protestantism And Progress $19.32 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER II The Meaninq Of “protestantism” In ” Protestantism ” we have, of course, once more a historical general-conception which imperatively calls for more exact definition. The prevalent custom is to resume under this term all the phenomena which fall within the sphere of Protestant religion down to the present day, and then to found on these a general conception which represents rather what Protestantism might be or might become than what it actually is. Thus there usually predominates in these definitions either the conception of an orthodoxy which has become weakened down and lost hold of fixed principles, or of a developing and transforming philosophic outlook. In the one case as in the other, however, it is no longer a question of a posteriori historicalgeneral conceptions which exhibit the real state of the case as a whole, but of ideal conceptions which, attaching themselves to the real, emphasise one or the other element in it, and thereby seek to justify their formula as giving its ” essence ” or ” fundamental tendency.” Such ideal conceptions are, of course, indispensable to present action and volition, but they are by no means historical general- conceptions of the kind that we are in search of.1 If we are seeking a purely historical definition of Protestantism, we soon recognise that, for Protestantism as a whole, it cannot be immediately formulated. For modern Protestantism as a whole, even when it carries on the orthodox dogmatic traditions, is in point of fact completelychanged. The genuine early Protestantism of Lutheranism and Calvinismis, as an organic whole, in spite of its anti- Catholic doctrine of salvation, entirely a Church civilisation like that of the Middle Ages. It claims to regulate State and society, science and education, law, commerce |
