Edge Computing Applications in the Dairy Industry and What It Can Do For You In the past 100 years, technology has come from patenting air conditioners and zippers to 3D printers, drones and self-driving cars. Never has the ancient occupation of farming had more resources at its disposal to improve production and sustainability. Most “precision agriculture” conversations focus on crop applications; using GPS and thermal imaging to detect areas of high pest populations or disease and using…

Buffer Systems As humans, we constantly need to regulate our bodily pH. This regulation process is called homeostasis, and is controlled by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland by a buffering system. A buffer solution is used to maintain the pH at a safe acidity. “A buffer solution is an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid” (Boundless, 2010) Equation 1 – Generic Buffer Equation HA (aq) + H2O (l) --> H3O+(aq)…

However, metformin should be avoided in the patients with risk of lactic acidosis such as people with stroke, pneumonia, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and renal insufficiency and should be stopped before any surgery or if an old person has to undergo an exploration requiring iodinated contrast, because of the risk for…

Hill et al. (2006) conducted a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study to investigate the difference between β-Alanine supplementation after 4 and 10 weeks and the effect on intense cycling capacity. 25 fit undergraduate and postgraduate fit male participants from the University of Chichester, characterized by low economy and low meat consumption, liberally volunteered to participate. Subjects were not taking any dietary supplements and refrained from supplements 6 weeks before the…

Josie’s story is about the hazards of miscommunication in hospitals and the journey of a mother to becoming a national patient advocate with the establishment of the Josie King Foundation. Being a mother of four children is a full-time job, especially when moving to a new house. The house was old and needed repairs so the family ensued on a renovation of the place. The children’s grandmother came for a surprise visit one day. As the grandmother bathed in the only working bathtub, Josie brought…

The patient coded twice before arriving to the MICU, the down time for the patient had placed a significant strain on his body. Patient presented with lactic acidosis, bilateral pneumonia, and diabetic ketoacidosis. This all was in addition to the diagnosis of septic shock. Patient was intubated and had to be maintained on a positive end-expiratory volume pressure of 20 to maintain an appropriate oxygenation level…

GENTAMICIN The drug selected for study is Gentamicin. Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic composed of a mixture of related Gentamicin components and fractions and is used to treat many types of bacterial infections, particularly those caused by Gram-negative organisms. Isolation and Preliminary studies 2 demonstrated that it is a mixture of basic, water soluble antibiotic containing the aminocyclitol 2-deoxystreptamine and two additional amino sugars. Chromatographic separation of…

Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS) remains as one to the major causes of neonatal respiratory distress, which may lead to respiratory failure and death in the infant. This syndrome is the defined as “respiratory distress in an infant born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) with characteristic radiological changes and whose symptoms cannot be otherwise explained” (T. E. Wiswell, J. M. Tuggle, and B. S. Turner 1). About 8–20% of all deliveries have been detected with meconium-…
