Lord Kelvin

Aaxup:

'''William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin '''(26 June 1824 - 17 December 1907)

Among many things, Lord Kelvin is associated with the creation of the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics and the temperature scale of Kelvin.

His work on the Laws of Thermodynamics began after hearing another attempt made by James Prescott Joule to discredit the highly popular caloric theory associated with heat. Unlike many of the attendees, Kelvin was intrigued enough to listen to Joule's work, even though he himself was skeptical. Kelvin still believed the Carnot–Clapeyron caloric theory, however, he began to doubt it after experiments he performed himself. The caloric theory did not yield an "absolute temperature scale", only an "operational definition of temperature". Over time, Kelvin began to believe the theory that Joule was discussing, however, he believed that it was possible to find a compromise between Carnot and Joule's theories. This pondering lead to his formulation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Soon a partnership between Joule and Thomson lead to publications, Joule's work being accepted, and the kinetic theory.

During his doubts of the Carnot-Clapeyron theory, his want for an absolute temperature scale had him thinking. He thought that a certain point could be reached where no further heat could be transferred, later to become 'absolute zero', which had been speculated by Guillaume Amontons in 1702. He was later able to determine the correct temperatures of absolute zero: as approximately −273.15 degree Celsius or −459.67 degree Fahrenheit.

===Proposal===
Langmuir Monolayers of sweet orange essential oil, the phospholipids dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG) and E.coli lipid extract were used to investigate the antibacterial properties of essential oils. The Langmuir Monolayer technique is a useful one for the formation of model cell membranes by allowing analysis of the interactions between the molecules and their organization capabilities. Monolayers using the sweet orange oil as a subphase with DPPC added were found to be more fluid, and to be less stable, as indicated by a low surface pressure at low molecular areas when compared to monolayers with ultra pure water as the subphase. Similarly, monolayers using the sweet orange oil as a subphase with the E. coli lipid extract added were found to be more fluid, and to be less stable, as indicated by a low surface pressure at low molecular areas when compared to monolayers with ultra pure water as the subphase. These results were also found with the trials of DPPG. Further investigations will involve using a simpler gram-negative model, such as 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-L-serine (DPPS), since E. coli is a more complex gram-negative model, and observing those results in the orange oil, changing the concentration of the oil in the subphase and using different essential oils as subphases.

Aaxup: /* Ingredients */

This recipe was one that I found online: [http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2012/12/25/30-minute-whole-wheat-pretzels]/ but there are a couple modifications. -AAA

==Ingredients==
'''Baker's Percentages'''
*Bread Dough
::100% all purpose flour (use as baseline)
::74% water
::0.7% yeast
::1.1% salt
*Topping
::6.6% unsalted butter
::45.1% granulated sugar
::0.61% cinnamon

'''One Batch Measurements'''
::Bread dough (''made the night before, see the Let's Make Bread recipe'')
::2 Tablespoons butter
::1/3 cup granulated sugar
::1 teaspoon cinnamon

==Directions==

*1) Preheat oven for 425 degrees F.
*2) Lightly flour the flat surface you will be using to shape the dough.
*3) Take chunks of the dough and shape it into whatever shape you wish (''I did pretzel shapes and made braids using three stands of dough'')
*4) Take a cookie sheet and line it with parchment paper.
*5) Place the pretzels onto the cookie sheet, and bake them in the oven for about 10 minutes.
*6) While the pretzels are baking, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Set that aside.
*7) Just before you take the pretzels out of the oven, melt the butter in the microwave.
*8) Using a brush, apply the butter onto the pretzels. Use all of it.
*9) Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mix over the pretzel for a light dusting (''using too much can create a hard crust on the finished product'')
*10) Place them back into the oven for another 5 minutes at 425 degrees F (''do not broil them'')
*11) Remove from oven and let cool.
*12) Enjoy!
