Cannibalism is one of the strongest food taboos instilled in modern western culture. Today, people all over the world face the idea of cannibalism with derision and claims of “I would never do that!” For example, people viewed the case of Austin Harrouff, a college student from Florida who recently killed an elderly couple and was found “biting the face of the male victim,” with fear and disgust (Newsome). Although the motive for the attack was not known, Austin became someone many people viewed…

This paper seeks to establish a provisional diagnosis from presenting signs and symptoms and discuss the supporting pathophysiological implications of the prognosis, based on the following case study. Bill is a 62-year-old male who self-presented with a cardiovascular emergency at a small regional health centre. The information gathered in the primary and secondary surveys allows the formation of an evidence-based prehospital management plan including optimal pharmacological therapy and other…

In November 2008, I was a normal teenage girl in the eighth grade, when my mother, Stacie Laprarie, was diagnosed with breast cancer. I remember this day very clearly. I had a normal day at school, only to come home and find both my parents upset. As soon as my brother and I walked in the door, our parents sat us down at the kitchen table, to tell us that our mom had received a phone call from her doctor and, she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. They told us not to worry, and they…

Despite being a relatively new source of energy, nuclear energy has emerged as one of the most influential energy sources. Nuclear power was developed in the 1950s after several years of intensive research on atoms, uranium, and radioactivity (Ferguson, 22). Initially, nuclear energy was mainly applied in the military field through the production of destructive weapons such as bombs. However, as years progressed, it became an essential component of industrial production. Nuclear energy is…

sharp cutting flakes tested positive for human blood. Even with this evidence many people argue that there was “mutilation without intent to consume the remains,” however the discovery of a human coprolite proves this argument incorrect. Discovered in situ in the hearth of feature 15 and confirmed as a human coprolite through its size and shape, it most likely was entirely composed of meat. Scientists analyzed the coprolite through enzyme immunosorbent assay which “revealed the presence of human…

In general, enzyme thermostability is an intrinsic property, determined by the primary structure of the protein. However, external environmental factors including cations, substrates, co-enzymes, modulators, polyols and proteins often increase enzyme thermostability. With some exceptions, enzymes present in thermophiles are more stable than their mesophilic counterparts. Some organisms produce enzymes with different thermal stability properties when grown at lower and higher temperatures. There…
