The fiber evidence played an overwhelming role in the conviction of Wayne Bertram Williams for multiple reasons, primarily because the prosecution was able to link twenty-eight different types of fibers to Williams and his victims (Saferstein, 2015). Furthermore, the fibers located on the victims were unusually shaped yellow-green fibers, which matched the carpet in the Williams’s home (Saferstein, 2015). The fiber evidence gained additional credibility for the prosecution when they discovered the carpet was manufactured in relatively small quantities (Saferstein, 2015). Additionally, the twenty-eight fibers located on the victims were eventually traced to various items in Williams’s possession to include: the carpet in the Williams’s home,…
The graph summarizes a study conducted by Aggarwal et al,, and we expect our results to depict a similar pattern because our predictions are based off the research conducted by their group (2010). Figure 2 presents the absorption values for one of the trials we conducted, and the sudden decrease in absorption resulted from the addition of mitochondria and FCCP. Since this was a test run, the data has not yet been analyzed, but it is important to note that the decrease in absorption, upon the addition of FCCP, appears to be inconsistent with the previous…
The processes that Blue Dragon have found to be the most successful when taking kids off of the street and offering them opportunities to gain an education have been to approach them personally and offer them a safe place to get a warm meal (Brosowski. M. 2017). They do this by looking in areas that the children are most likely to be, this means thinking like a street kid and being able to go where they are. Often these places that the children have deemed safe from law enforcement and predators are not at all safe for the children. These places include, under bridges, under rail way tracks, near the banks of the rice fields and the Mekong, and places where a large group of the children can keep each other relatively safe. Once they find these children, Blue Dragon offers them a hot meal at their HQ.…
The final stage of aerobic respiration is the Electron Transport Chain which produces thirty four ATP per molecule of glucose. It takes place in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. NADH and FADH2 pass electrons to the Electron Transport Chain and these pass through ATP synthase. Eventually, electrons are passed through cytochromes to the final electron acceptor, oxygen, and water is formed. NAD and FAD are reproduced and this is vital so that they can be used again in glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle and ATP production…
The actions that European countries did in the new world contained finding riches, spreading religion, and finding any resources that could be useful. The video describes how Europeans (mainly Spain) discovered how well the indigenous peoples were so easily making red dye, unbelievably rich mountains filled with silver, and how big of a presence Catholicism is in the new world. Red dye was not a common thing in the old world, only heavily being used for people who were rich, so Europeans brought that back with them. Europe wanted money, so they wanted to mine the silver from the Andes. Europe thought that the best way unify this new culture was Catholicism, so they made that a heavy influence.…
“Someone needs to fight, someone needs to sacrifice, someone needs to inspire, someone needs to be a hero” -Amit Kalantri. A hero is someone whose ideals are able to transcend the barriers of time itself, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s enigmatic brainchild Sherlock Holmes manages to get his own messages across by undertaking of a series of spectacular escapades. In Red-Headed League, he prevents London’s youngest and most dangerous fugitive from stealing nearly 30,000 napoleons of French gold from right out under the bank. Speckled Band tells the tale of Holmes stopping a deranged doctor who had been trained in India from using a poisonous viper to kill his niece. Finally, Holmes deals with royalty itself when he prevents the mysterious Irene…

Public interactions with the police have been highly publicized throughout the news lately. Most of the publicity portrays police officers abusing the system and using violence in order to get the public to do what they want. The technological era is supporting this statement with videos of police officers making questionable decisions. Others believe that police officers are in a tough position and have one of the hardest jobs in the world. They have to make split second decisions that might result in using force in order to get someone into custody.…
Creatine Kinase, also known as creatine phosphokinase, has extensively used to identify and observe the muscle disease. It is present in higher concentration in serum in reply to muscle insult and is the most delicate sign of muscle injury, which gives a precise estimate of progression of muscle injury (Bohlmeyer TJ et al.1994).It is found mainly in the myofibrils, mitochondrial membrane and the muscle cytoplasm (Bessman SP and Carpenter CL, 1985). CK is a dimer molecule, and composed of two subunits, CK-M (muscle type) and CK-B (brain type) and has three recognisable isoenzymes as described by Mark A et al.(2012) which are termed as: • CK-BB (CK1) Brain tissue contains 100 % of CK1. CK-1 (BB) is mostly found in higher concentrations in the brain, smooth muscle and also present in neuronal cells, retina, kidney and bone.…
Snow blue and the 7 smurfs Once upon a time in a really wealthy Family who lived far away from the city where they would go through a secret road to get to their really nice mansion in “the secret hills” where only queens and kings lived with their descendants found out that their only daughter was having a baby, which made them so worry because years before their daughter was born the mom got a spell by an evil witch, no one knows what the spell is but when the clock turns 5 in the afternoon the mom goes and hides in her room until until 5 in the morning the next day, the family lived with weirds creatures as their maids which every single maid was given to the princess after the number of the day they were born…
Lactate dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalysis the conversion of lactate to pyruvic acid and vice versa. It is made up of four subunits. The two most common subunits are the LDH-M and LDH-H protein. Five possible isoenzymes can form from these two subunits: 4H, 4M, and the three mixed tetramers (3H1M, 2H2M, 1H3M).Although these five forms are enzymatically similar they are distributed differently in various tissue. The major isoenzymes of skeletal muscle, M4, has four muscle (M) subunits.…
The protons that are located in the lumen wish to leave the thylakoid due to the concentration gradient. To do this the protons utilize the ATP synthase enzyme, the movement of protons cause the enzyme to rotate (much like a water wheel) this is favorable because it harnesses the gradient and does not expend energy. and produces. To stimulate the movement protons however, they must pass through a ring of c-subunits which are then pushed to rotate this ring is tightly attached to nucleotide binding sites which when interacting with the stalk that connects them to the c-ring, morph and synthesize ATP, from ADP and Pi. This is unfavorable because the synthesis of ATP is energetically pricey seeing that it has to overcome the electrostatic repulsion of its three phosphate groups, using numerous…
Abstract Bacteriorhodopsin is located in the plasma membrane of Halobacterium halobium, where it acts as a proton-pump, transporting protons out of the cell. Since its discovery in 1979, much research has been done on Bacteriorhodopsin and there have been many advancements in our knowledge. Firstly, on its structure and function and secondly, on the conformational changes it undergoes during retinal isomerisation. Introduction Bacteriorhodopsin is a globular protein, (Henderson, 1975) which acts as a light driven proton- pump located in the native purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium. It was first discovered by Stoechenius and his lab in 1979 (Stoeckenius, 1979).…
As enzyme concentration increased, the color strength continued to increase. In Biology in the Laboratory, this is confirmed by the section concerning the effect enzyme has on activity (Helms et al,. 1998). In Figure 4, the substrate and color relation had a direct relation to an extent. As substrate concentration increased, the color strength continued to increase until the solution reached maximum velocity.…
