In situ

(Anandhan & Bandyopadhyay, 2011). Nanoscale building blocks are individually exceptionally strong because they are close to ideal, defect-free materials. There are three methods to prepare nanocomposites, they are: solution casting, melt blending and in-situ polymerization. Polymer nanocomposites for various applications could be synthesized by proper selection of matrix, nanoreinforcement, synthesis method and surface modification of polymers. (Paul & Robeson,…

Cattle slaughter is the killing of nonhuman animals also referred as killing domestic livestock. The animals are generally killed for food; however, they might also be killed for other reasons such as being diseased or unsuitable times for families to feed it. The animals most commonly slaughtered for food in India are cattle and water buffalo for beef and goats for goat meat and mutton, pigs for pork and ham, horses for horse meat, chickens and ducks, and increasingly, fish farming in the…

follow a set pattern of growth through five distinct stages. I’ll give a brief overview of these stages but be aware that there are “sub-levels” to each of these stages that I will not go over. Stage 0, most commonly known as Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS), is a “non-invasive” stage where signs of cancer have been detected, but they haven’t started to spread throughout the breast or other parts of the body. Regular examinations are a must in order to discover the cancer in this stage because…

The World Health Organization (2016) has defined cancer as a term used to describe a large group of diseases which may affect any body parts including the brain, lung, bone, lymph node, and liver. By nature, our body controls the creation, growth, and death of cells. Cancer begins when cells do not die in a normal state (Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. , 2016) and when the abnormal cells are created rapidly and divide in an uncontrolled way. These excess cells then grow and form a…

My grandfather served in the United States Navy in World War II where our ships encountered what was to them a new style of fighter: the Kamikaze pilot. The Kamikaze pilot was an individual who would quite literally drive a Mitsubishi Zero plane that was unequipped with guns and flew their planes directly into American ships to keep them away from reaching Japan. The word Kamikaze has an ancient origin. Literally translated it means “divine wind.” Kamikaze was used for close to a thousand years…

support his theory. Since Lovejoy assumed that the pelvis was not in its natural position he gives critics the benefit of the doubt to the idea that he doctored up the Lucy’s pelvis to support Johanson bipedal theory. If Dr. Johanson had found an in-situ pelvis fossil of Lucy in the same position as Lovejoy’s reconstruction it would have given more credence and proved beyond doubt that the classification of Lucy as the oldest most complete bipedal human ancestor is…

In this proposal, we report the design of two bioanalytical sensors: (1) a fluorescence optrode-based optical fiber sensor and (2) a carbon-based optically transparent electrode. The first provides a means for spatially organizing microorganisms to monitor their social behavior in response to different chemical environments. The electrode sensor enables the detection of signaling molecules that are responsible for, or a consequence of, sociomicrobial behavior. Upon their completion, these…

The remedial action objectives (RAO) for the Site presented in the ROD are: · Groundwater: Prevent human ingestion of, inhalation of, or dermal contact with groundwater that contains concentrations of PCE above 5 µg/L, TCE above 5 µg/L, cis-1,2-DCE above 70 µg/L, and trans-1,2-DCE above 100 µg/L (these concentrations are the maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs) set by the Clean Water Act (or are Maximum Contaminant levels [MCL] where MCLGs are set at zero)). · Soil: Prevent human ingestion of…

1. [endif]INTRODUCTION Remote sensing is the non-contact recording of information from the ultraviolet, infrared, and microwave parts of the electromagnetic range by mean of instruments, such as, cameras, scanners, lasers, linear arrays and arrays situated on stages, such as, flying machine or spacecraft/rocket, and the investigation of gained data by mean of visual and computerized picture preparing. In a straightforward sense, remote sensing is the study of acquiring data about items or…

Commercialized Space Exploration: The Dawn of a New Era July 21, 2011, the Space Shuttle Atlantis entered Earth’s atmosphere, beginning its final approach preparations from its last and final mission of the space shuttle program, STS135. 30 years of service shuttling supplies to the ISS, conducting scientific missions and experiments, servicing equipment amongst a myriad of other tasks (most of which installed awe and dreams of possibilities in the programs participants and millions around…
