Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, with approximately 2 million reported TBI events in the US annually. The pathology of TBI is a highly complex process with both initial mechanical injury and delayed mechanisms. Primary injuries directly damage the neurons, axons, dendrites, glia and blood vessels in a focal, multifocal, or diffuse pattern. Primary injuries initiate a secondary, dynamic series of complex cellular, inflammatory, mitochondrial,…
agarose while the other gel was 0.8% agarose. The reason we poured two gels was because each gel had a different purpose. The 2.0% agarose (thicker gel) was used to determine amplicons while the 0.8% agarose (thinner gel) was used for restriction fragments. One gel was ‘thicker’ than the other gel to distinguish smaller segments than the thinner gel. By having a thicker gel, smaller segments can move better and not be cleared out by bigger segments. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is used to…
However, after destroying the bank, the fragments remain and the narrator has no idea how to remove them. After multiple attempts of eradicating the broken pieces, it becomes clear that the narrator`s inability to discard the fragments of the bank demonstrates the difficulty of changing the views of society. Even though an accomplishment during this era may feel like a breakthrough, the leftover fragments can still hinder forward progress. This type of scenario prevailed…
In 1955 the Hilprecht Collection, which contained 2500 tablets and fragments, were studied and translated. Although 2500 pieces have been found only 150 were literary works. The multiple fragments found only have a few undisturbed lines, but 50 tablets are in good condition, displaying several complete lines. The fragments contain multiple stories from mythology to catalogues. One of the most interesting stories is “The Curse of Agade: The Ekur Avenged”. About 300 lines are written about the…
another school day. I learned a lot in Professor Gitlin’s class. One of the very first things that I learned in my English 1301 class was how to fix my sentence fragments. My first paper in English 1301 wasn’t very good. After it was graded I read over the markings, and saw a lot of the word “frag”. My paper consisted of many sentence fragments, or incomplete sentences. This was a very big problem for me because…
First and foremost, since the girls’ conversation is in fragments, Szybist is trying to support the notion that this poem is about an observer piecing together a conversation between two girls. The images rather than being in full and complete form, are in fragments which belongs to a larger picture just like the jigsaw puzzle the girls are putting together that contains various sizes of pieces of a bigger image…
Bone fragments from a fracture can lacerate the surrounding tissue and cause further damage, so they must be taken to a hospital emergency room as quickly as possible. If bone fragments are piercing though the skin, then it is best to call an ambulance for transportation. They are better equipped to handle severe injuries such as this. While waiting…
The Cairo Genizah or “Sacred Trash” is the collection of 300,000 manuscript of Jewish literary collected from the storeroom of Ben Eza Synagogue in old Cairo, Egypt. Genizah in Hebrew means hide away or keeping aside, like Janaza (means burial) in Arabic is derived from Persian word ganj denotes a treasure. These manuscripts dated from 870 CE to 19th century, contain approximately 1000 years of information about the Jewish communities of Cairo (Schechter). Genizah contains the largest…
are used for humans, swine, poultry, and sheep. Point mutations can also be induced by the size, location, and type of insertion or deletion in recombinant DNA. Recent developments have shown that overlapping DNA fragments using in vitro reactions result in the joining of DNA fragments at the termini. These site-directed mutagenesis involves the remodeling of the Polymerase Chain Reaction using mutagenesis primers in recombineering…
Purification and Quantitation of DNA and Plasmid Structure Labs 3 and 4 Biology 453 Clayton Pedigo September 14 and 21, 2016 Introduction: In this report, there are two labs being discussed. The first lab being lab 3 (purification and quantitation of plasmid DNA) involved lysing bacterial E.coli cells and retrieving the plasmid particles. The purpose of the second lab, lab 4 (plasmid DNA structure), was to use the concentrated DNA from lab 3 and compare…
