Alpha Tau Omega

Dogs are our best friends. Would you really want to harm you friends? That’s what Cesars method insists on doing to our canine comrades. Mark Derr should be considered correct about his accusations about dog trainer Cesar Millan because his methods harm the dogs, fails to produce lasting results, and overall, is faked by Cesar Millan. Cesar’s method should be considered wrong because it inflicts emotional and physical harm on the dog. This is apparent when Mark Derr writes “...his…

1. Most aquaporins have a similar structural arrangement, consisting of a similar fold. This fold contains helices encasing a small water-conducting channel where water is able to arrange in a singular line. There are cytoplasmic and extracellular loops immersing into the membrane through opposing sides, and form two smaller helices creating a psedo transmembrane segment. Within the membrane, there are four aquaporin molecules forming a homo-tetramer, creating a fifth channel; the channel is…

Being That James was one of smartest kids in his school, he never felt like he fit in much. He was never considered unpopular or lame but he always felt different from everyone else. Every day for him was a day closer to graduation, which is where he would part from what he described as the children of the corn. Attending Fredrick Douglass High School was exactly where he wanted to be, considering that it was the best tech high school in the city of Atlanta. One thing that he didn’t anticipate…

maneuver played a major role on the patellar reflex. One of the prevailing hypotheses has to deal with the alpha-gamma co-activation theory. It states that the alpha motor neurons activates the motor tone, which leads to the spindles providing feedback to the brain. This process is done by the gamma motor neurons, who are in charge of controlling the stimulation of the cerebellum. Also, both the alpha and gamma motor neurons meet at the same effector muscles. Furthermore, when the extrafusal…

I have a deep-seated passion for fixing injustice in the world, particularly the inequality of women, including the systemic violence they face in our contemporary societies. Political theory has given me a framework in which to pursue the desire I have, to understand these issues in an educated context. This has led to my fascination with the writings of political thinkers, frondeurs, philosophy, international law, and the freedom of sexuality. I intend to purse feminist political theory,…

Introduction I am a member of a Kappa Alpha Theta at Chapman University, and have recently considered running for a position. With the new slate of officers changing, positions were opening up once again and surprised as I was many of my peers encouraged me to run for a position. Due to studying abroad I couldn’t, however I am still debating whether or not to in the future. However, I am concerned that taking a position will affect my relationship with my peers. Personally I am very reserved…

receive. I joined my sorority Alpha Delta Pi here at the University of South Carolina a little over a year ago and I can truly say it has been the best decision I have ever made. I love this sorority for several reasons mainly for the rich history, sisterhood and friendships I have made that have made me feel at home here at Carolina. I can honestly say joining Alpha Delta Pi at University of South Carolina will be the best decision you will ever make. HISTORY: Alpha Delta Pi was founded on…

Alpha 1-Antitrypsin Deficiency Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is caused by mutations in the serpina1 gene on chromosome 14. The serpina1 gene codes for the Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) enzyme which is a protein that protects the lungs, and is made in the liver.This deficiency occurs when there is a lack of a protein in the blood called alpha-1 antitrypsin. Without the protection of this protein, the lungs are more sepetable to be attacked by neutrophil elastase. Neutrophil elastase is an enzyme…

contagious. You can only get it if your parents have the allele. The main problem is that ATTD makes a person at risk for lung and liver damage. With ATTD the protein Alpha-1 Antirpsin is in shortage. This is a protein that protects the lungs in the body. The deficiency causes some of the proteins to get stuck in the liver ("Learning about Alpha-1 Antitrypsin").This means that they cannot reach the lungs to protect. Other symptoms of AATD are jaundice and swelling of the abdomen. Jaundice is a…

There are many autoimmune diseases that affects a 5% of the population. This occurs when the immune system can not detect the difference between self and nonself. The human immune system protects the body from foreign virus’ and sends antibodies to kill the unknown virus. This disease then causes the body to produce antibodies that will attack against the body’s healthy cells. It proceeds to attack itself and it’s healthy body cells. The actual cause of autoimmune disease is unknown. One theory…
