Linus Pauling (1901-1994) A master and maker in many fields, Linus Pauling lived a very long and productive life spanning nearly the entire twentieth century. By the time he was in his twenties, he had made a name for himself as a scientist. After many significant contributions including his work on the nature of the chemical bond, he turned to chemical biology and is generally accepted as the founder of molecular biology. Later in his life he became very involved in issues of politics and
and discoveries into the world. Linus Carl Pauling is one of the most well recognized scientists of the 1900’s as his assortment of knowledge spread across many topics of science. Pauling was born in Portland, Oregon where he was forced to begin working at a young age of twelve due to his father’s death when he was merely nine. Although Pauling was often preoccupied with family responsibilities, he quickly realized his interest in the field of science. In 1922 Pauling finished his schooling at Oregon
Linus Pauling was an American peace activist, chemist, author, professor, and biochemist. He was also a well respected man and defender of civil liberties and health issues. For this, he was often considered as the founding father of molecular biology and as one of the greatest scientists and humanitarians. Linus Carl Pauling was born on February 28, 1901, in Portland, Oregon, to Lucy Isabelle Darling and Herman Henry William Pauling. He is the oldest of three siblings, Lucile and Pauline. In September
consulted her psychiatrist due to the positive results, the psychiatrist then told her to stop taking niacin because “it can be harmful.” When the patient stopped the intake of niacin she went back to her severe depressant stage (James Colquhoun). Pauling stated that nicotinic acid (niacin)…, has cured hundreds of thousands of their psychoses, as well as of the physical manifestations of their disease. This example, enhances the fact that vitamin therapy can successfully
Introduction The following is a review of the book, The Double Helix, by James D. Watson that was published in 1968. Here the Norton Critical Edition will be used for page numbering and insights for this review, which was edited by Gunter S. Stent and published in 1980. The Double Helix is a personal recollection of the period of time when the structure of DNA was discovered. James D. Watson (Watson) along with Francis Crick (Crick) were the two scientists who published a paper in 1953 which purposed
extended periods of time unprotected. The widely known Linus Pauling may have been the first individual to propose the importance of vitamin C as a means of improved health, and a preventive measure of such illnesses as cancer. However, the proposal of high dosed Vitamin C was not received in a positive manner, as it is often considered one of the most controversial proposals in 20th century science. Despite the evidence proposed by Pauling, many scientists of the time deemed this idea as too “simplistic”;
body and well-being, however, have failed to realize the harm that vitamin supplements can do to the body; this is indicated by Paul Offit, the author of “The Vitamin Myth.” He states that over time researches and various studies have proved that Linus Pauling, the soul of the vitamin myth, statements of what vitamin supplements could do for the human body and or life. For example, the National Cancer Institute in 1994, researched smokers who were given various supplements over a period of time however
James Watson and Francis Crick utilized the work and evidence of many different scientists in order to come to their final conclusion as to the structure of DNA; greatly using the work of Maurice Wilkins, Rosalind Franklin, and Linus Pauling. The first time Watson is truly introduced to the world of X-ray diffraction pictures of DNA was when attending a lecture held by Wilkins. From this, he learns that genes are able to crystallize, so they therefore must have a regular and repeating structure
In this analytic research paper, the famous Nobel Prize Winner, Linus Pauling, will be the center of attention through the exploration of several aspects in his life. The prelude of this paper will be a brief historical perspective of Pauling’s upbringing, schooling, and academia. Proceeding is an overview of key individuals who impacted Pauling’s life and journey to his achievements. After seeing the individuals who impacted Pauling; his individual awards and Nobel Prize achievements will be analyzed
Linux is a trademark owned by Linus Torvalds [1]. It is an operating system which is powerful, free and inexpensive to own based on UNIX [1]. It is a POSIX-compliant with versions available to install in cell phones, supercomputers and most computing systems [1]. Linux is an open source program as its source code is available to the general public for use and the right to modify from its original design without any charges [1]. New code will be added to the next version made available with Linux
itself. This was a big issue; due to the fact that all know (well published) operating systems to that point had been well guarded by software developers, thus making it difficult for people to truly expand on operating system mechanics. Then came Linus Benedict Torvalds. At the time he was a sophomore majoring in Computer Science at the University of Helsinki, his hobby also included computer programming. At 21 he found himself spending most of his time toying with computer systems, trying to see
When it comes to what makes a modern operating system ideal there are a variety of key elements. The security should be a very important part given the consistent threat of data breachers and brute force attacks. Customizability is also a valuable asset as computer users have different needs, so it needs to be considered. Furthermore an ideal operating system also is free as in freedom so users and developers can improve the code. Ultimately the security, customizability and the overall free nature
Helmer and Nora's Relationship in Ibsen's Doll's House Ibsens use of language helps us see the characters nature and to find out their personality and structure of the characters relationships. Each character has their own unique use of language. This helps us to see the difference between the characters and their relationships. As we read through the play A Dolls House this becomes clear when we learn about Nora and Torvalds relationship and how it changes throughout the play. As we

The Microsoft Windows operating system is the most well-known and most frequently used operating system among computer users today; however, there is another operating system that was developed by Linus Torvalds, a software engineer and hacker from Finland, that can be advantageous to learn despite it being developed in the early 1990s (Goldsborough, 2011, p. 12). The Linux operating system, while not maybe as well-known as the Windows operating system
In Brother Grimm’s “Brother Lustig”, the main character, Brother Lustig, is initially portrayed as an honest, inexperienced and stupid young man, who shares all his possessions with others. For this reason, when analyzing Brother Grimm’s tale form a Jungian psychoanalytic perspective, will become a prime example of a character experiencing individuation, for he eventually becomes a more selfish, cunning and independent person. Through meeting his archetypes, Brother Lustig goes from an honest, stupid

“Let’s go for a jog!” I said in excitement. “Don’t fall behind because I had gym today, so my feet are screaming to run again,” Alex jokes. “Then let’s go to the trail before it gets dark,” said Lilly. “On your marks, get set, GO!” Alex screamed before they even got to the trail. “Funny,” I said, “but now the animals are running as fast as race cars.” “Oh well,” Alex chuckled. “Do you want to start here?” I said more than asked. “Sure,” replied Alex. “Maybe we can see the animals that didn’t
deep emotional attachment to the objects as well. It's called "essentialism," or the idea that objects are more than just their physical properties. When I was younger I used to watch a show called Charlie Brown, where there was a character called Linus. He could always be seen carrying around a ratty old blanket which he would drag everywhere he went. That blanket seemed to give him a sense of security that one would expect from a "security" blanket and if the he was unable to reach the blanket,
structure was double helix and second, that its backbone was outside. Watson and Crick started to work on the model again as word came from the United States that Pauling had tackled the problem and planned to present his discoveries to the world. This pushed Watson and Crick to work even harder, the two begin to search for Peter Pauling work. The two discovered that he made an error similar to them when trying to understand the structure of DNA. After putting the pieces together Watson and Crick
structure of the DNA molecule. With contributions of other scientists, James Watson and Francis Crick were able to solve the structure of DNA. Through contributions and integral relationships of Watson and Crick to Maurice Wilkins, Rosalind Franklin, Linus Pauling, and other smaller contributors the DNA structure was finally solved. The first and primary contribution to solving the DNA structure was the relationship of Crick and Watson. Without their teamwork and determination, another scientist would have
