What does hydrogen gas mean?
Medical Definition of hydrogen
: a nonmetallic element that is the simplest and lightest of the elements and that is normally a colorless odorless highly flammable diatomic gas —symbol H — see deuterium, tritium.
Hydrogen gas is sometimes used directly to create an acid. For example, it is used in the creation of hydrochloric acid: H2 + Cl2 → 2HCl. Hydrogen gas is used in the processing of petroleum products to break down crude oil into fuel oil, gasoline, and such.
This article in the form of power point will guide you in understanding the the concept and applications of macro as well as micro nutrients in the soil.
Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

5. CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Stability : Pure nitric acid is not very stable. Even at ordinary temp. in presence of
sunlight it undergoes slight decomposition.
4 HNO3 → 2 H2O + 4 NO2 + O2.
Oxidizing properties: Nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent as shown
by its large positive E◦ values.
NO3- (aq) + 2H+ (aq) e- → NO2 (g) + H2O (l) E◦ = 0.79 V
NO3- (aq) + 4H+ + 3e- → NO (g) 2H2 (l) E◦ = 0.96 V
6. CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Reactions with metals: Nitric acid dissolves most metals including iron, copper,
and silver, with generally the liberation of lower oxides of nitrogen rather than
hydrogen. It can also dissolve the noble metals with the addition of hydrochloric
acid.
Cu + 4HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2NO2 + 2H2O
Reactions with nonmetals: Reaction with non-metallic elements, with the
exception of silicon and halogen, usually oxidizes them to their highest oxidation
states as acids with the formation of nitrogen dioxide for concentrated acid and
nitrogen oxide for dilute acid.
C + 4HNO3 → CO2 + 4NO2 + 2H2O
7. MANUFACTURING OF NITRIC ACID
INDUSTRIALLY NITRIC ACID IS PREPARED BY
FOLLOWING THREE (3) METHODS:
CHILE SALTPETRE METHOD BY NANO3
BRIKLAND EYDE’S METHOD BY USINGAIR
OSTWALD’S METHOD BY AMMONIA SOLVEY PROCESS
8. CHILE SALTPETRE METHOD (BY NANO3)
It is the first commercial process of manufacture of nitric acid from sodium
nitrate extracted
from Chile saltpeter. The process is now become obsolete since second decade
of nineteenth century.
Raw Materials:
Sodium Nitrate
Sulfuric acid
9. Process:
Equal weight of sodium nitrate (or potassium nitrate) and sulfuric
acid is charged to cast iron retort having outlet provided at bottom to
take out solution of sodium bisulfate.
The reactants are heated to about 2000 0C by the hot furnace gases.
The furnace gases are produced by combustion of coal in the
furnace.
Then the vapors of nitric acid are cooled and condensed in water
cooled silica pipes.
10. Process:
The cooled acid is collected in stoneware receiver. The un-condensed vapours are
scrubbed with water in absorption tower which is packed with stone ware balls and
cooled by cold water.
The dilute acid is re-circulated till it becomes concentrated. The residual sodium
bisulfate is removed by outlet provided at the bottom of retort.
Reaction:
NaNO3 + H2SO4 → NaHSO4 + HNO3
13. BRIKLAND EYDE’S METHOD (ARC PROCESS)
Process:
CO2 and dust free air is heated in an arc furnace at 3000 o C.
Nitric oxide is formed. Gases coming out from the furnace are
cooled at 1000 oC by passing through cooler then gases are passed
in a boiler and cooled at 150o C.
Cold water is circulated around the boiler to cool the gases.
Gaseous mixture is now passed through aluminum tubes. The
temperature of gaseous mixture becomes 50oC.
14. Gaseous mixture is passed in oxidizing tower where NO is oxidized into
No2.
2NO + O2 ——–> 2NO2
NO2 is absorbed in water in absorption tower then dilute HNO3 is obtained.
3NO2 + H2O ——-> 2 HNO3 + NO
Now HNO3 is not manufactured by this method because consumption of electricity
is very high to maintain the temperature 3000 o C. Even at this temperature 1%
NO is formed (Disadvantage).
15.
16. OSTWALD’S METHOD
Principle:
NH3 is oxidized into NO by air at 800 oC in the presence of Pt (Platinum)
catalyst.
Raw Materials:
Ammonia
Air
Platinum
Water
Steam
Power
17. PROCESS
Mixture of NH3 and O2 in the ratio of 1:9 is passed through catalyst chamber
containing Pt- gauge. Temperature of the catalyst is kept at 800 oC.About 95 % NH3
is converted into NO.
4NH3 + 5 O2 ——–> 4NO + 6 H2O + 21.6 K.Calorie
Heat liberated maintains the temperature of the catalyst. The gases coming outare
cooled to about 50 oC and mixed with more O2. This gaseous mixture is passed in
oxidizing tower where NO is oxidized to NO2.
2NO + O2 ——> 2NO2
NO2 is passed in absorption tower. The dilute solution of HNO3 is obtained.
3NO2 + H2O ——> 2HNO3 + NO
18.
19. NITRIC ACID SAFETY AND
HANDLING:
Nitric Acid is an extremely corrosive acid capable of causing
severe chemical burns very rapidly.
When handling Nitric Acid in the workplace, it is highly
recommended to wear:
Chemical Safety Glasses.
Face shield.
Gloves
As an added safety precaution, eyewash station and
washing stations should be easily accessible incase of
exposure to nitric acid.
20. APPLICATIONS

ammonium nitrate & ammonium etc. Large amounts are reacted with ammonia to
yield ammonium nitrate.
It is commonly used in science laboratories at schools for experimenting when
specifically testing for chloride
As a nitrating agent in the preparation of explosives such as TNT, nitroglycerine,
cellulose poly-nitrate, ammonium picrate.
It is used as a medicine to remove chancres and warts.
Used in fibers, plastics and dyestuffs industries
Used in metallurgy and in rocket fuel production.
It is used in calorimetric test to distinguish between heroin andmorphine.
