Well, eighth grade is the final year of middle school, meaning that I have to go to high school next year. I'm honestly expecting high school to be a lot harder and frustrating, but hopefully I can power through it. I feel glad that I've gotten this far and that I get to go to high school, and maybe by the end of high school, I can get into college. Middle school was a good experience in my book, but it's really just middle school. My favourite thing during middle school was simply reading…

1. James Watson and Francis Crick were credited for discovering the double helix structure of DNA molecule. James Watson is known to have received his degrees at the University of Chicago and his PHD at the University of India. He then met Francis Crick at the University of Cambridge where he later worked after receiving his PHD. Francis Crick during the World War II was some biophysics who held develop radar and magnetic mines then after the war he then began the structure of DNA research with…

components of coenzymes and proteins (Axtell). Controlling gene expression via miRNA is the plant’s way of responding to limiting levels of these essential macronutrients. miRNA works by binding to single stranded mRNA which creates double stranded RNA. Thus the plant identifies the new double stranded mRNA as inferior and attacks it. For the experiment, there were four microRNAs used including miR156, miR395, miR398, and miR399. miR156 was the control and has no nutrient requirement so it…

astronaut, Mark Watney, who gets stranded during the third manned mission to Mars and his survival story. This story can be broken down into three main parts. How he was stranded, what he did to survive, and the rescue mission to return him back to Earth. Each of these categories have smaller sub-sections to them. While analyzing pieces of the main parts in the movie, scientific accuracies and inaccuracies can be found. When looking at parts of how Mark Watney was stranded, the main cause…

Catalina Mountains, including Tanque Verde Falls (Sutton & Cullinane, 2017). A flash flood at the Tanque Verde Falls area stranded 17 hikers, prompting a swiftwater rescue. Rescuers, including the Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD), Rural Metro Fire Department (RMFD), and the Southern Arizona Search and Rescue Association (SARA) worked diligently to rescue all but two of the stranded hikers. With the use of the PCSD helicopter, 15 hikers were removed from the flood waters and relocated to…

that you will be travelling to. While sometimes the tide goes out suddenly confusing the animals. However, there are many other theories about the cause of mass strandings. The first, it's the behavior is linked to parasites. It's often found that stranded animals were infested with large numbers of parasites. For instance, a type of worm is commonly found in the ears of dead whales.…

If I were to be stranded on a deserted island my immediate attention would be to find/create shelter, find a safe and clean supply of food and water, and then to explore the island. However after I accomplish all these things I will need some way to stimulate my brain, because if I did not, I would certainly lose my own sanity, comparable to Chuck Noland from the film Castaway. This is where literature comes into play, by selecting a few pieces of literature I can keep myself from reaching Chuck…

thoughts with being Hindu. While at sea Pi loses his sense in faith, but he still has a good attitude about keeping himself busy with not thinking about his current situations in life. For example, his family had died in the shipwreck and he was stranded at sea for an exhausting 227…
