Cellulose acetate

Discoveries of new and unexplored animals pose a challenge to Zoological nutritionists and veterinarians. Charged with the task of formulating a diet for an animal for whom they have no concrete nutritional information, professionals have to develop innovative ways to extrapolate what they know about existing domesticated animals’ diets and digestive tracts and apply it to exotic animals. Such an approach can be very helpful in the case of the okapi. Okapia johnstoni, commonly known as the…

Critically discuss the emerging role of the gut microbiota in metabolic health Summary: The connection between gut microbiota, obesity-related disorders and inflammation have been increasingly recognized and understanding the composition of gut microbiota may play a potential role in preventing and/or treating metabolic health. Both in animal and human studies had recognized an alteration of microbiota composition leading to the development of obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes. With new…

Environmental Effects The poisonous gases from cigarettes increases air pollution levels of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide making it very difficult for one to breath. This not only effects human heath but also the environment. They are made of cellulose acetate, a plastic that is not biodegradable even after the cigarette has extinguished it can cause wildfires, harm to plants and animals and toxic to the water we drink. The environmental effects of production for tobacco products is…

Between 1916 and 1949 a few other companies offered colored shellac discs, including a blue-shellacked series from Columbia during the 1930s and chocolate colored pressings from a budget label “Perfect Records” prior to the 1930s. In 1949 when RCA Victor launched their 45-RPM format they began color-coding their records based on genre calcification. They classifications are as follows: Black Vinyl – Pop Pressings (Prefix 47) Green Vinyl – Country Music (Prefix 48) Red Vinyl - “Red Seal”…

Vinyl Record Materials Materials to used to make records have evolved and changed several times over the years. The earliest disc records from 1889-1894 were made of various materials including wax and. Rubber. Shortly after, a shellac based compound had been experiment with leading to it becoming standard. Each manufactures exact formula varied, but they typically coated records with a shellac (wax) resin Shellac The materials typically used to make for a shellacked disc where cardboard and…

1.3. Nutritional Aspects of Pectin: Pectin plays significant industrial roles in different fields. Its physical and chemical properties make it a valuable material in the food and pharmaceutical industries (May, 1990) (21). 1.3.1. Source of dietary fiber: The fruits and vegetables which are specially rich in pectins have dietary fiber contents in the range of 1-2%.Pectin fibers have higher hydration properties than other fibers and this property is exploited in its use as a constitutional…

mM. Km and Vmax values for leukocyte GCase using p-NPG as substrate was found to be 12.6 mM and 333 U/mg respectively. Fig. 4. Determination of Michaelis constant of GCase for different p-NPG substrate concentrations (0.71 mM-2.50 mM) in sodium acetate buffer (50mM, pH 5.0). All the samples were assayed in the presence of 6 mg/ml sodium taurocholate and 70 μl of…

actually are not biodegradable. Filters that are used in cigarettes have been perceived to make smoking “safer”, but smokers do not know how toxic these butts are. And they are just causally being thrown on the ground. These filters contain cellulose acetate, a plastic that cannot break down. They seem like just a small piece of trash, but they are very hazardous to the environment (Cigarette Butt Waste). According to Americans for Nonsmokers’ Right, “It is estimated that 1.69 billion pounds of…
