Qualities of Ozone?

Ozone is oxygen however in an alternate shape. It contains three oxygen particles and not two. The third particle can isolate and put forth a concentrated effort to different chemicals or substances. This capacity to join to different substances implies the ozone can change these substances. This is the reason ozone is created and utilized for specific purposes. 

Utilizing Ozone 

Ozone is found in layers of the world's air where it sift through hurtful ultra-violet beams. At the point when ozone is found at the ground level, it is destructive to the respiratory framework. Utilized as a mechanical gas, ozone can't be made and afterward transported on the grounds that it rots rapidly. Rather, it must be made nearby. Since it oxidizes metal, the decisions for its control are restricted. Titanium, stainless steel, glass, aluminum and polymers polytetrafluorethylene and polyvinylidene fluoride are utilized to contain ozone. 

Creating Ozone 

Ozone can be created in two ways- - noiseless crown release and ultra-violet radiation. The ultra-violet age resembles the procedure of ozone creation in the upper climate and the crown release is like the way ozone is produced in lightning. Ultra-violet age includes the utilization of mercury and makes issues around legitimate transfer. The quiet crown technique creates more ozone than the other strategy and is a significantly more productive process. 

Quiet Corona Discharge 

The quiet crown release technique comprises of a unit with these parts- - tidy channels, gas dryers, a wellspring of oxygen, a generator, a contact unit and light destructor. Dryers and channels clean the oxygen. The ozone is created from the cleaned oxygen by electrical release simply like lightning. By part the oxygen and making single atoms, the single particles can join to oxygen (O2) and make O3. The O3 is then released into the room.

Utilizing An Ozone Generator 

Ozone generators are dubious. While valuable in mechanical (decontaminating water, blanching wood mash, detoxifying cyanide waste) and medicinal applications (eliminating microbes, infections, scents) where strict guidelines are taken after for assembling and utilizing the generators, the utilization of ozone in littler home or individual gadgets could be unsafe. Those utilized as a part of mechanical and therapeutic settings are utilized as a part of empty circumstances. 

Ozone can cause respiratory disturbance so when a gadget is utilized as a part of a limited space the gadget ought to take after Food and Drug Administration rules. General wellbeing benchmarks have been set that show the greatest measure of ozone that is alright for people to interface with. 

For an ozone generator to create enough ozone to eliminate microscopic organisms and infections, it must surpass the general wellbeing models.

Brain Benefits of Playing Chess

10 Big Brain Benefits of Playing Chess

Source site:  http://www.onlinecollegecourses.com/2012/03/25/10-big-brain-benefits-of-playing-chess/by Staff Writers 
Not for nothing is chess known as “the game of kings.” No doubt the rulers of empires and kingdoms saw in the game fitting practice for the strategizing and forecasting they themselves were required to do when dealing with other monarchs and challengers. As we learn more about the brain, some are beginning to push for chess to be reintroduced as a tool in the public’s education. With benefits like these, they have a strong case.....
Picture


  1. It can raise your IQ Chess has always had an image problem, being seen as a game for brainiacs and people with already high IQs. So there has been a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation: do smart people gravitate towards chess, or does playing chess make them smart? At least one study has shown that moving those knights and rooks around can in fact raise a person’s intelligence quotient. A study of 4,000 Venezuelan students produced significant rises in the IQ scores of both boys and girls after 4 months of chess instruction.
  2. It helps prevent Alzheimer’s Because the brain works like a muscle, it needs exercise like any bicep or quad to be healthy and ward off injury. A recent study featured in The New England Journal of Medicine found that people over 75 who engage in brain-stretching activities like chess are less likely to develop dementia than their non-board-game-playing peers. Just like an un-exercised muscle loses strength, Dr. Robert Freidland, the study’s author, found that unused brain tissue leads to a loss of brain power. So that’s all the more reason to play chess before you turn 75.
  3. It exercises both sides of the brain In a German study, researchers showed chess experts and novices simple geometric shapes and chess positions and measured the subjects’ reactions in identifying them. They expected to find the experts’ left brains being much more active, but they did not expect the right hemisphere of the brain to do so as well. Their reaction times to the simple shapes were the same, but the experts were using both sides of their brains to more quickly respond to the chess position questions.
  4. It increases your creativity Since the right hemisphere of the brain is responsible for creativity, it should come as no surprise that activating the right side of your brain helps develop your creative side. Specifically, chess greatly increases originality. One four-year study had students from grades 7 to 9 play chess, use computers, or do other activities once a week for 32 weeks to see which activity fostered the most growth in creative thinking. The chess group scored higher in all measures of creativity, with originality being their biggest area of gain.
  5. It improves your memory Chess players know — as an anecdote — that playing chess improves your memory. Being a good player means remembering how your opponent has operated in the past and recalling moves that have helped you win before. But there’s hard evidence also. In a two-year study in 1985, young students who were given regular opportunities to play chess improved their grades in all subjects, and their teachers noticed better memory and better organizational skills in the kids. A similar study of Pennsylvania sixth-graders found similar results. Students who had never before played chess improved their memories and verbal skills after playing.
  6. It increases problem-solving skills A chess match is like one big puzzle that needs solving, and solving on the fly, because your opponent is constantly changing the parameters. Nearly 450 fifth-grade students were split into three groups in a 1992 study in New Brunswick. Group A was the control group and went through the traditional math curriculum. Group B supplemented the math with chess instruction after first grade, and Group C began the chess in first grade. On a standardized test, Group C’s grades went up to 81.2% from 62% and outpaced Group A by 21.46%.

  7. It improves reading skills In an oft-cited 1991 study, Dr. Stuart Margulies studied the reading performance of 53 elementary school students who participated in a chess program and evaluated them compared to non-chess-playing students in the district and around the country. He found definitive results that playing chess caused increased performance in reading. In a district where the average students tested below the national average, kids from the district who played the game tested above it.
  8. It improves concentration Chess masters might come off like scattered nutty professors, but the truth is their antics during games are usually the result of intense concentration that the game demands and improves in its players. Looking away or thinking about something else for even a moment can result in the loss of a match, as an opponent is not required to tell you how he moved if you didn’t pay attention. Numerous studies of students in the U.S., Russia, China, and elsewhere have proven time and again that young people’s ability to focus is sharpened with chess.

  9. It grows dendrites Dendrites are the tree-like branches that conduct signals from other neural cells into the neurons they are attached to. Think of them like antennas picking up signals from other brain cells. The more antennas you have and the bigger they are, the more signals you’ll pick up. Learning a new skill like chess-playing causes dendrites to grow. But that growth doesn’t stop once you’ve learned the game; interaction with people in challenging activities also fuels dendrite growth, and chess is a perfect example.
  10. It teaches planning and foresight Having teenagers play chess might just save their lives. It goes like this: one of the last parts of the brain to develop is the prefrontal cortex, the area of the brain responsible for planning, judgment, and self-control. So adolescents are scientifically immature until this part develops. Strategy games like chess can promote prefrontal cortex development and help them make better decisions in all areas of life, perhaps keeping them from making a stupid, risky choice of the kind associated with being a teenager.
