Foundations for buildings

Modern nuclear power is based on harnessing the energy released in a fission reaction. The development of atomic energy started in the 1930s with the discovery that atoms could be split with neutrons. This discovery laid the foundation for building the first atomic bombs during World War 11. A basic reaction representing the fission of uranium can be represented as ...

In works in general, bricks set in cement or in cement mortar are usually applied for foundations for buildings, for water-tanks, and for foundations for engines. In the latter application, it is sometimes overlooked that under the continuous action of oil, cement becomes disintegrated it is therefore advisable, apart from the fact that every apparatus, and... 

Erythromycin A, the major fermentation component of S. erythraea, is a 14-membered ring macrolide that is used by medicinal chemists as the foundation for building semisynthetic derivatives of erythromycin antibiotics. (Macrohdes inhibit bacteria by interfering with microbial protein biosynthesis.) Semisynthetic macrolides are popular with clinicians because they can be administered orally and have relatively low toxicity. They are often used to treat respiratory tract infections, and have been especially effective against conditions such as Legionnaires disease and community-acquired pneumonia. Erythromycin therapy is often prescribed for individuals allergic to penicillin. One of the most widely used macrohde antibiotics... 

A fill often serves as the foundation for buildings, infrastructure, container storage and other structures and must safely transfer these loads to the subsoil. Foundations... 

The term alkali has been largely superseded in chemical conversations by the more general term base , and I shall gradually move towards using that name. An alkali is simply a water-soluble base there are bases that don t dissolve in water, so base is a more general term than alkali . The name stems from the fact that a single compound, the base, can be used as a foundation for building a series of different salts by reaction with a choice of acids. Thus, suppose you take the base sodium hydroxide, then you would get the salt sodium chloride if you neutralized it with hydrochloric acid, the salt sodium sulfate if you used sulfuric acid, and so on.
