In The Zookeeper’s Wife (2007) Diane Ackerman, asserts that the story of the Żabiński family is one of great turbulence and triumph, and is one that needs to be told. Ackerman supports this assertion by telling the family’s story and using excerpts from the diary of Antonina Żabiński that colorfully illustrate their story. Ackerman wishes to educate and inform her audience about the Żabiński’s story in order to reveal the harsh realities of World War II that many of her readers can not imagine.…

The first and foremost thing we can do to help is by reducing our energy demand. This can be anything from not driving as much to not using our heaters or air conditioners as much. For example, our car exhausts release bother aerosols and greenhouse gases: which are water vapor and CO2. These are two things that we do not need more have in our atmosphere. If we can find a way to both drive less and less emissions of these things from our car, then we are one step closer to creating…

using hazardous chemicals and other materials that will protect our hands from infection and contamination. Mouth mask is intended to be worn by health professionals during surgery and during nursing to catch the bacteria shed in liquid droplets and aerosols…

The movie Hairspray is a loosely based 1960s themed musical turned movie that contains controversial topics along with nostalgic themes from fashion to type of speech. Although the main character didn’t fit into the status quo of the usual icons that were known for beauty and class, the quirky teen made many decisions in her high school life that people of the time would frown upon. The running theme of the plot included the iconic styles and fashions staples, the impact of society on general…

Catalase containing, positive, bacteria consist of aerobic, oxygen respiring, and facultative anaerobic, can grow either with or without oxygen, bacteria. Being catalase positive means the bacteria is exposed to hydrogen peroxide in a concentration high enough to make it toxic to the bacteria cells. Thus, the cell needs to break down the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas to survive. Catalase positive bacteria can include beneficial bacteria. Two harmful bacteria that are catalase…

“Yeeww gunna taaake awl dat?” the mealy mouthed Beaumont native asked me. A question that still haunts me when I think about a certain weekend I went camping along the Neches River. Looking at his displaced eyeball, and the huge wad of tobacco juice he spat onto the ground, a quickly delivered response of “Yes, yes we are!!!” was retorted. Planned and necessary, every item was personally deemed necessary in order to “survive” the weekend. Even though I had never camped before, no one was going…

Bubonic plague, a deadly disease that is transported to humans through fleas, has been a worldwide issue from as far back as the year 1347 A.D. This disease has caused more than 200 million deaths since its first rampage in Europe. The bacteria Yersinia pestis has been researched to be the main cause of bubonic plague, but at one time there were many speculations as to the cause of this plague. Inspired by S. Scott and C. Duncan’s “Biology of plagues” and “Return of the Black Death”, George…

This report will highlight the difference in vegetation change from 1991 to 2011 in the southern Amazonia of Brazil. The report will do this by outlining what NDVI is and how it is derived and then analysing the specific results of Brazil. NDVI stands for Normalised Difference Vegetation Index and usually derived from satellite data, for landsat data this is usually thirty metres above the ground, to classify land cover change over a continental scale (DeFries and Townshend, 1994). When light…

Salbutamol Discovery Chiral chemistry was introduced in 1848 by French chemist and biologist, Louis Pasteur. He discovered this new branch of chemistry after he separated two isomers of ammonium tartate (1). This paved the way for several progressions in the pharmaceutical industry. Although it took approximately a century for scientists to use chiral compounds as effective drugs, they have played a remarkable role in the life of plants and animals (1). The credit for discovering the chiral…

Morphology Influenza is made up of enveloped virions that further made up of eight segmented, single-stranded, negative RNA genomes (Bourmakina and García-Sastre, 2005). Influenza is then broken down further to three categories; A, B, or C, which is determined by the antigenic differences in their structural components nucleoprotein and matrix protein (M1) (Bourmakina and García-Sastre, 2005). Both nucleoproteins and MI proteins are crucial to the survival of the virus. In Influenza A’s RNA,…
