Benefits Of Alkaline, Ionized Water By Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi, M.D.Enagic LeveLuk SD501
Water: The chemistry of life. Whenever we attempt to determine whether there is life as we know it on Mars or other planets, scientists first seek to establish whether or not water is present. Why? Because life on earth totally depends on water. A High percentage of living things, both plant and animal are found in water. All life on earth is thought to have arisen from water. The bodies of all living organisms are composed largely of water. About 70 to 90 percent of all organic matter is water. The chemical reactions in all plants and animals that support life take place in a water medium. Water not only provides the medium to make these life sustaining reactions possible, but water itself is often an important reactant or product of these reactions. In short, the chemistry of life is water chemistry.

DNA replication is a semiconservative process. It means that each strand acts as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. Therefore, this process takes us from one parent molecule to two daughter molecules, with each newly formed double helix containing one new and one old strand.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. Why is an understanding of chemistry important to someone studying biology? All cells (and thus organisms) are composed of chemicals All life processes involve a variety of chemical reactions Reveals the complexity and elegance of life
3.
4. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space… Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter Our current model of atoms was first described by John Dalton in his work “The Atomic Theory” Living Things Are Made of Matter Made up of….
5. Compounds are substances which contain 2 or more different elements chemically combined in a fixed ratio Atoms Elements and Compunds
6. Molecules are substances which contain 2 or more atoms, and are the most basic unit of a substance Molecules can contain atoms of the same element or different elements Molecules
7. Which of the following are molecules only and which are molecules and compounds? CO 2 O 2 H 2 H 2 SO 4 HCl N 2 H 2 O Molecule and Compound Molecule Molecule Molecule and Compound Molecule and Compound Molecule Molecule and Compound
8. Elements!!! Elements are substances made up of 1 kind of atom! 6 different elements make up 97% of the compounds that are found in living things There are more than 100 known elements today
9. Atoms Protons + charge, nucleus Neutrons 0 charge, nucleus Electrons - charge, orbit in the electron charge The # of protons in an atom determines its identity!
10. Elements!!! One element differs from another by the number of protons in its nucleus An element’s atomic number equals its number of protons Element Number of Protons Hydrogen Carbon 8 7 1 6 Oxygen Nitrogen
11. Sometimes atoms of the same element differ in their number of neutrons Isotopes Useful in biological research if radioisotopes

Review of Atoms Molecules and Compounds Use the web resources listed below to help you study the topics covered so far: http://csep10.phys. utk . edu / krogh _ instructorCD /biology/ch2/animations/mod02_1. swf http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/biocoach/biokit/chnops.html http://www.chemthink.com
13. Chemical Bonds and Reactions The Point of Reactions and Bonding is…. Energy!!! Why Bonds Form Types of Bonds Reactions and Equations
14. Why Do Chemical Bonds Form ? Atoms are most stable when their outermost energy level is filled with electrons To accomplish this stable state, atoms may share or transfer electrons among their nuclei and form bonds ! A Bohr Model can be used to determine the number of electrons in the outer shell of any atom!
15. Types of Bonds Chemical Bonds Form When Atoms Share or Transfer Electrons Ionic Bonds Covalent Bonds Forms when an electron (or electrons) is transferred from one atom to another Forms when an electron (or electrons) is shared between atoms Type of bond formed is dependent on the electronegativity of atoms involved
16. Ionic Bonds Sodium wants to lose an electron to become most stable Draw a Bohr Model of Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) How does each atom become most stable with a full outer shell of electrons? Chlorine wants to gain an electron to become most stable The strong attraction between the positive sodium ion and the negative chloride ion creates an ionic bond NaCl is common table salt
17. Covalent Bonds A hydrogen atom wants to share its electron. For example, it can share its electron with another hydrogen atom or two hydrogen atoms can share their electrons with an oxygen atom which wants to share a total of two electrons. Shared Pair of Electrons
18. Covalent Bonds If the electrons of a bond are shared equally a non-polar bond is formed If the electrons of a bond are not shared equally a polar bond is formed Polar Covalent Non-Polar Covalent

25. The Importance of Water The Structure of Water Two hydrogen atoms are each joined to an oxygen atom by a single covalent bond The weak attraction between the hydrogen atom of one molecule and a slightly negative atom within another molecule
26. The tendency of molecules of the same kind to stick to one another is called cohesion . The type of attraction that occurs between unlike molecules is called adhesion .

30. Ions and Living Cells When NaCl dissolves in water the ionic bonds are broken. The positive sodium ion is attracted to the slightly negative part of the water molecule and the negative chloride ion is attracted to the positive part of the water molecule.
31. Ions and Living Cells When a covalent compound such as water is converted to ions, there are H + and OH - ions in solution The presence and abundance of these ions is critical to the functioning of the cell in terms of its biochemistry The level of H + and OH - ions in solution is measured by the…. pH Scale
32. Ions and Living Cells A pH of 7 indicates an equal number of H + and OH - ions in solution A pH less than 7 indicates a solution with excess H + ions = acid A pH greater than 7 indicates a solution with excess OH - ions = base
33. Ions and Living Cells The functioning of living cells can be affected by a change in pH Because the very reactions of life cause pH changes, there is a need for cells to be able to regulate the pH of the intracellular fluid
