Assessment findings that support Mr. C’s dehydration status are his electrolyte levels, BUN level, specific gravity, weight loss, dry skin and mucous membranes, and persistent vomiting. One of the first indicators of Mr. C’s dehydration is that he has been vomiting for three days. As he persistently vomits for prolonged time, he is losing a large amount of fluids. Continuously vomiting reduces a certain amount of fluids within the body that make…

The main purpose of the original experiment was not accomplished. During this experiment due to the lack of DNA needed to prepare the 19 solutions with different concentrations over six orders of magnitude and also the BPES buffer, the different absorptions could not be measured and no calculations were possible. As a consequence, the binding constant of Ethidium Bromide to DNA using absorption spectroscopy was impossible to measure since no data was available. Instead, the whole experiment was…

I. INTRODUCTION HE versatility of muscles is a crucial factor for efficient animal locomotion. In combination with a high degree of force control muscles enable precise motions depending on the wanted action. Animal locomotion involves (a) fine motor skills like sneaking, grabbing and communication; (b) quick short term acceleration like catching prey; (c) very long-term movement patterns which need to be performed efficient like digesting, migration and sometimes even (d) avoiding motion by…
