    The purpose of performing physiological tests is to figure out certain characteristics of microorganisms or to reach a conclusion on what an unknown microorganism is. It can be also used to determine what is needed for bacteria to be cultured in or on certain media. Culture media can either be liquid or solid, and they can be used to identify certain characteristics of different bacterial species. This is indicated by the growth or lack of growth in or on certain media. Solid media can also be used to isolate organisms and provide a means to observe their morphology (Wiley 55).…

    It is typically assumed that all tequilas are the same 100 % agave drinks although remarkable part of them are actually mixed spirits. There have been a few attempts to study the composition of tequila samples using gas chromatography and headspace solid-phase microextration but these techniques have proved to be too costly for routine analysis. Lachenmeier and colleagues observed that the authentic tequila research required more advanced and affordable method for separating the 100 % agave tequilas from the mixed ones. The purpose of this study was to examine the composition of various samples of authentic tequila purchased in Mexico and Germany using ion chromatography (IC) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. It was expected…

    Introduction Patient care technology is a part of the nursing care process that will immediately impact how nurses perform their jobs in the future. An array of important issues is developed into the implementation of a new technology; safety, cost, quality, and efficiency of health care for a smooth transition into the workplace. While some technologies are helpful to the patients, others may take away and distract a nurse from using their five senses that they relied on before advanced technology became available. Consequently, bar coding breast milk is a relatively technology that is new to nursing, following the lead of medication scanning. Best practice in the NICU world is showing positive results with bedside errors with the wrong…

    The lab instructor issued out a test tube labeled with letter ‘I’, which consisted of two unknown bacteria, Gram-positive or Gram-negative that were streaked from a pure culture. Sterile techniques were followed while performing precise instructions as stated in the referenced Laboratory Manual. Example 1: The first procedure performed was done by isolating a pure culture from the mixture onto a solid Trypticase soy agar (TSA) media. Sterile technique was done by flaming the loop until it turned red to ensure that there were no current bacteria on the loop avoiding contamination followed by rapidly flaming the neck of the test tube to prevent the entry and contamination of unwanted microbes.…

    Taking the fine powdered cereal and mixing with water, the iron could be extracted because of iron being added to the cereal in elemental form. This is not the most accurate way to collect iron from a sample, but it was mostly successful. The amount of iron collected was poor because of the big percentage of error in this experiment. Using the standards provided in class, a calibration curve could be created to get a general idea of how much iron was in the unknown…
