decreased by about 16%” (De’ath et al., 2009). With the decline in aragonite, many marine organisms are unable to produce their shells, making them more vulnerable to disease and death. Reducing Australia’s carbon dioxide emissions will help to restore calcium carbonate levels so that corals can begin to sustain the calcification process again. Although outlook reports identify climate change as a major challenge facing the reef, Australia “currently [has] no market-based mechanism in place…

Assessing the body condition score (BCS) of a horse is needed in order to evaluate the physical health of the horse. The ideal BCS of many horses is between a 5 and 6, while a thoroughbred in the racing industry has an ideal BCS of a 4. While the BCS of a horse is a good way to determine the overall body condition of a horse, it does not tell whether or not the horse is getting the required nutrients in the appropriate amounts. The required nutrients can be calculated into the horse’s diet based…

we appreciate. Electrolytes have minerals in your blood and other body fluids that carry an electric charge. The minerals in major electrolytes found within the body include calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphate and chloride. For electrolytes to play their role efficiently they must have a balance of calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphate, and chloride. You lose the balance of the…

Muscles are often only described by large features and classified by a particular region of group of muscles, which does not do the complexity muscle tissue justice. When a skeletal muscle cell is broken down on a microscopic level one is able to truly grasp just how intricate skeletal muscles are along with how they function on a physiological level. Skeletal muscle cells cannot be understood until three key aspects of their structure are enumerated and these are their myofibrils, sarcoplasmic…

Kidney stones are made from mineral and acid salts (Mayo Clinic). Kidney stones are often formed in our kidneys, usually because of urine becomes highly concentrated, which allow the minerals and salts to stick together and form the stone (Mayo Clinic. The picture below from the New York Times, shows where kidney stones are usually formed, in the major calyces, where they then travel down the ureter, where it usually becomes painful (NYT). There are several objectives to this experiment:…

monthly during the winter months will help protect your pool and pool water. The ideal winter pool should have a pH between 7.4 and 7.6. Levels out of this range should be adjusted accordingly with chemicals. Winter calcium levels should fall between the ranges of 175 and 225 pm. Add calcium increaser as necessary to raise low levels. Consider Purchasing a Pool Cover Though not a necessity, a well-fitting pool cover can end up saving you money over time. Covers that fit close to the pool's…
