Different gene silencing methods are being used in biomedical research for the development of potential disease therapeutics. Most of these methods are similar in that they involve the disabling of mRNA by preventing it from being translated into a protein. They differ in the type of molecule used to disrupt mRNA. Due to these differences, each silencing method has specific advantages and disadvantages. Two of the most currently understood methods of gene silencing are RNA interference…

“I don’t believe blindness comes with a parking space does it?” She said with a all too serious face. My hand stopping before being able to grip the handle of the BP gas station. “I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you mean.” As my hand retreats to my side. “Well it just so happens you've won the worst parking job of the year on this side of the damn hemisphere.” She was stating this while gesturing to my tattered suburban. Glancing over I noticed my back right wheel was on the line. I wanted…

Global warming is a serious problem, and it’s just that; a global issue. We have to make sure that we catch up with the rest of the world, because the fate of the world literally hangs in the balance of this. Our world is the only one we have, and Al Gore’s documentary proves so much of this. He’s proven that the planet’s CO2 emissions are rising. He’s proven that the atmosphere is deteriorating. He’s proven that we cannot let our planet deteriorate any further. The question is, what did he want…

techno-commercial team in identifying, designing custom solutions for our end clients. We are involved in a highly specialized, non-commodity, project oriented business. Our success depends largely on a select group of customers such as ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, and a few other international oil companies. Our survival depends solely on doing a better job than our competitors in satisfying the unique needs of these customers. The marketing topics we covered in class and the insights I have gained…

In order to improve the health of Australia as a whole, priorities need to be established. Health priority issues are those health issues that are of greatest concern to governments due to the effect they have on the overall health of Australians and their burden on the health system. These issues are identified through the use of the social justice principles, priority population groups, the prevalence of the condition, potential for prevention and early intervention and its cost to the…

Patient doesn`t abuse alcohol, but drinks socially, no use of tobacco or smokes or use of illegal drugs.

Ground squirrels are among the most intensively studied groups of mammals (Harrison et al, 2003) and generally classic subjects for research on variations in life-history traits and population dynamics (Hoffmann, 2002; Miche ner, 1998; Oli et al, 2001). They are small- to medium-sized animals that spend much of their lives in extensive burrow systems (Nowak, 1991; O¨ zkurt et al., 2005) and are obligate hibernators during seasons with low ambient temperatures and poor foraging conditions…

Hobfou, Johnson, Ennis and Jackson (2003) stated that women in our society are often placed in repeated conditions of dependence on parents, partners, and social services for their economic survival. These conditions have left these women with the feelings of being disempowered and hopeless, with low self-esteem and lack of self-confidence, thereby reducing their capacity to cope effectively with stressful situations in their lives. Faced with the lack or loss of material, personal and social…

Clinical Context & Experience I had my fifth and sixth night shifts this past week. The fifth shift was rather busy we had four patients and overall the unit had a high census. During that shift I had two patients with GI bleeds who were both being prepped for a colonoscopy the following morning, a patient who was admitted half way through the shift with suspected infection, and the last patient. We were constantly moving and barely got a chance to rest besides for our lunch break. The sixth…
