Music and Poetry are first cousins. Poetry is mostly private, quieter, and all around more reserved, while Music is the popular relative who strives to be heard by everyone and anyone. However, the intentions of both are identical; to invoke a certain feeling in the listener. A chorus and a stanza are one in the same, they both capture moments of the writer’s life or their emotions during a situation. Emily Dickinson, a 19th century poet, privately wrote almost 2,000 poems, all of which reflect…

Many have enjoyed Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus (SCUBA) diving as an exciting recreational sport for many years. Though SCUBA diving is a very rewarding experience, a diver must be sufficiently trained before entering a potentially dangerous situation. Divers must have an understanding of SCUBA from both a scientific and recreational view, along with ample training, to properly use equipment and prepare for potential hazards. Prolonged underwater experiences have fascinated…

Music Festival Versus Garbage: How Reusables Can Win This War A set stage, an energetic crowd, and not a care in the world. The moment at Lollapalooza is choked with nervous energy, overwhelming joy, and, most of all, anticipation. There! Entering the stage! What for now is a mere shadow on the still pitch-black platform will become the mob’s hero once the lights go up. Your favorite musician! Could anything in the universe possibly ruin this blissful time of excitement? Regrettably, you take a…

used to treat diabetes because they supply insulin. Growth hormones that treat dwarfism are produced from this bacterium, too. Human brain and neurological studies have also been done by the extraction of the green fluorescent protein found in jellyfish; because of the green fluorescent protein is then inserted into a mammal, the protein can track biological processes, specifically the neurological cells’ activity (Goldbas). Diseases such as cancer, cystic fibrosis, heart disease, muscular…

Asian Food is Healthy Imagine an American family going to for dinner at an Asian restaurant in America. They have a great time trying new and old favorite foods. They try to eat the food with chopsticks and in the end they end up eating too much at the buffet. They each grab a fortune cookie for the ride home. But when they return home one of the family members ends up getting sick from the food. Why is this something that tends to happen so often? Most Americans that have experienced…

The Effects of pGLO Plasmid Injection on Prokaryotic Gene Expression. By Kush Patel 3rd Period, AP Biology, February 12, 2024. Lab Partners: What is the difference? Brody Bonsor Andrew Zhang Marianne Baquero Clarie Gabrielson Abstract: In the pGLO lab, E. coli bacteria were genetically modified using a plasmid that contained three key genes: araC, GFP, and ampicillin resistance. Through a process of heat shock and incubation, the pGLO plasmid was successfully introduced…

The Animal Book Chapter 1: Animal characteristics Chapter 2: Body Parts Body plans refer to similarities in development, structure, and function among members of a particular group (phylum). At some point, members of that group share the same body plan during their development process. Which could be a possible explanation for shared structural plans that have been observed in the anatomy and embryology. Timing, pattern, and scale of development determine the organism's shape, and closely…

Within the community of Swansea, I believe that a problematic issue in the environment is the amount of pollution present throughout Swansea Channel, and more specifically, under Swansea Bridge. To further understand the extent of this predicament and identify the main problems and potential solutions, I decided to interview various locals, figure out the most common types of pollution present, investigate how the pollution is affecting the environment, interview a dive expert and get some facts…

where to go in Christchurch we first were planning to go to Akaroa where we first saw was the beach it was a very wavy one but weirder it wasn't salty my mother said it was because it was part of a lake so I started drinking it. It was fun until a jellyfish stung me first it was calm but after it started to sting and it was going all over my body, unfortunately, I had to go out of the sea A.K.A the…

indication of great possibilities for the future of genetics. The goal of these lab experiments was to be able to create recombinant DNA with the insert of egfp gene. EGFP also known as Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein was originally isolated from the jellyfish Aequorea Victoria and was introduced into the scientific field as a tool to signal gene expression. When EGFP is exposed to Ultraviolet Light, the protein glows a very…
