Biological hazard

TITLE PAGE EXECTUTIVE SUMMARY CONTENTS PAGE INTRODUCTION CASE STUDY REPORT BODY BIOPRINING- Design concepts- Bioprinting is the three-dimensional printing of biological tissue and organs through the layering of living cells. While this area of manufacturing is still in the experimental stage and is currently used primarily in scientific study rather than applied science, the possibility of creating functional replacement…

I am currently pursuing a degree in Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Daytona Beach campus of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. One main issue that interests me and is an area I can focus my skill set towards is in the field of renewable energy. With the rising use of fossil fuel as an energy source, other means must be found to satisfy humanity’s need before our oil and gas reserves run out. An interesting alternative to conventional fossil fuel energy methods is that of nuclear power.…

A LIVING HAZARD: BRACKEN FERN [Pteridium aquilinum (L.)Kuhn] INTRODUCTION With their large, shiny green and highly dissected leaves, ferns are so visually appealing and many of them are sold as ornamentals. But certain fern species can create substantial problems and they are herein called “problem ferns”. Pteridium aquilinum (bracken fern) is one of the problem ferns which cause the greatest range of problems on ecology and human welfare. Bracken fern has been described as one of the five…

For many years the legal drinking age as well as the legal driving age has been up for debate. Problems such as underage drinking, binge drinking and drinking and driving are only a few of the many issues faced among teenagers. Obviously the U.S has done little to nothing try to control these issues that are happening every day. Something needs to change before these problems get any worse. The United States is constantly evolving and so should its laws. A lot has changed since these laws have…

The relationship between vaccinations and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one that is very controversial. Annually, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Academy of Family Physicians jointly publish a schedule of recommended immunizations. Children today are routinely vaccinated against 14 diseases during their infancy and preschool years (Miller & Reynolds, 2009). In today’s society, vaccinations are used to prevent childhood diseases and…

than the majority population (Jepson et al., 2012). This is associated with an increase of between 40% to 60% risk of having the disease for South Asians (Heart UK, 2013). There are numerous reasons to account for this however, as the profile of biological risk is similar between South Asians and other ethnic groups, the difference in prevalence cannot be explained by the commonly associated risk factors such as hypertension or hypercholesterolemia (Williams et al., 2009). Therefore, there are…

Introduction Agricultural risk is associated with undesirable effects that arise due to imperfectly predictable biological and non-biological factors which are normally beyond the control of the farmers. Such may include sporadic outbreak of new pests and diseases, adverse climatic conditions like drought, flood, storm and frost. In addition, others may include or can be classified as resource risks like lack of farm inputs and credit access, poor markets, plummeting of producer prices,…

Neil Armstrong once said “I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul... we're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.” NASA has been sending satellites, space shuttles, people, and many other things into space ever since they were first created, but sending all those things into space isn’t the only thing that NASA has done, they have also done as much as they can to help the people…

At a young age, men were taught to repress their feelings because expressing them is a feminine characteristic. Therefore, men suppress their struggles and suffer silently making it difficult for family members to perceive their disorder. On the other hand, families and victims are not entirely at fault for not recognizing the signs of MD. We mistake continuous exercising as a healthy behavior. The media such as daytime shows and magazines have taught us how to eat, how to count our calorie…

or underground as the case may be, has been a survival tactic since humans began roaming the earth. Underground is, and has been, the preferred way to stay safe from aerial bombs, radioactive fallout, from chemical attacks and even from certain biological contaminates. Underground bunkers however, are not perfect and they are not for everyone. Are They Suitable For Long Term Survival? Today's underground shelters, as they are called, are not your granddad's bomb shelter that was popular during…
