The Stranded

Imagine a deserted island, far away from the city and its bright lights, in a place no one has ever heard before. It could be called a paper town or a ghost town. However know that nothing and no one is there. Now imagine being stranded on that exact island. Panic and fear are the only emotions being felt. But the island is not empty anymore, for now its population is three. Now resided by three of the worst people, Sarah from “Ah Love! Ah Me!”, Barett from “Take Over Bos’n” and Fear, the…

understood methods of gene silencing are RNA interference (RNAi) and antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs). In RNAi, the molecules that identify the target mRNA are called small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs). These siRNAs are short, synthetically made double-stranded RNA molecules (Koenig et al. 2013). The combining of…

Forbidden planet can be seen as relating to many different types of workings but the one that stands out is The Tempest. The Tempest is a story of a man that is stranded on an island that uses his magical powers to gain control of his island. Even though The Tempest and Forbidden Planet portray the same lessons, plot, and even characters there are distinct differences. The main difference is that The Tempest uses magic and Forbidden Planet uses technology. However if you think about the…

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) or Steinert disease is a rare genetic multisystem disorder. Typical symptoms are delayed relaxation of muscles (myotonia) and slowly increased muscle weakness (dystrophy). It also affects the eye, heart, endocrine system, and central nervous system [1]. The prevelance is estimated at 1:10,000 [2]. DM1 is caused by an unstable (CTG) microsatellite repeat expansion within the DMPK (dystrophia myotonica protein kinase) 3- untranslated region (3’-UTR) in chromosome…

Mills recommendation the in rescue 2 scenario would have been that the rescuers should run over the lone individual tied to the narrow road, in other to save the lives of the five stranded. His reccomendation in rescue one would have been based on an examination of the outcomes of saving the five imminently threatned by the tide. Compared to the possible outcome of saving only a single person. In rescue two is would have based his…

Explain how in one organism codon usage and tRNA abundance might be connected. Codon brings the genetic material that could translate to protein. Each codon contains triplet nucleotide, and each of them code for an amino acid, two different nucleotide sequences can encode the identical protein. There is some special codon that code for the initiation and termination of translate. The most common start codon is AUG, and the stop codon are UAG, UGA, and UAA. tRNA has a tertiary structure, and…

If I became stranded on an island the four items I would choose to bring is a machete, a water filtration device that could both filter fresh water and convert saltwater into freshwater, a sleeping bag and another person, who would also bring their four chosen items with them. The features I would like the island to have is that there is an abundance of trees, many animals of all sorts, different terrains and it would be nice if it were a larger island. One of the item’s I would choose is a…

person’s willpower, their persistent nature, which somehow almost feels primal for us to survive. For instance, try to imagine yourself stranded on an island. Try to think of how far you’d be willing to go to survive in such a hostile environment. Now imagine that but ten times more intense. That’s how far Tom Hanks had to go in the movie Castaway. He was stranded on a remote island for so long that he forgot what people and civilization were. He learned to adapt on the island, but over time he…

large, dangerous animal seems frankly crazy. However this was the case for Pi in Yann Martel’s novel, Life of Pi. Pi was stranded in what seemed to be a hopeless situation with not much more than his faith, a tiger, and his will to live. In this novel as well as in normal human life faith is a very important aspect of people's lives. For Pi this was evidenced in his time stranded on the boat with a 450 pound bengal tiger. At the end of the novel however the reader is brought to a question, is…
