India. Four concentrations (5, 10, 20 and 30%) of the essential oils, their mixtures, DEPA and DMP were prepared in sunflower oil, which has no mosquito repellency as per laboratory trials. Laboratory trials mixtures of essential oils were prepared in different ratio as per the results of the preliminary trials. 2.2 Laboratory trials: Repellent test chambers (30 x…

I still haven’t found a restaurant that makes Chinese food as good as him. At the end of my first year in college it dawned on me that my dad had cancer that had disseminated throughout most of his body and could no longer run the family restaurant. The following months I spent my time as a crutch on which my family could rely upon; numerous hours were spent at the restaurant tackling tasks I never had to worry about before. With the passing of my dad, I began to wonder how cancer ever got a…

Development and the Global South as a Laboratory of Technological Experimentation” Technological Determinism is one of the three major theories on science and technology studied in Science and Technology Studies. The other two are Social Construction of Technology, and Actor-Network/Assemblage Theory. This essay will focus on Technological Determinism, and analyze Adam Moe Fejerskov’s article “The New Technopolitics of Development and the Global South as a Laboratory of Technological…

medicine, which has the ability to translate scientific discoveries to a deliverable form that can directly help the patients in need. For three years, I studied the role of tumor microenvironment on breast cancer metastasis in Dr. Semenza’s laboratory at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. As I studied the role of Hypoxia-inducible factor on integrin expression and subsequent cell motility, I learnt that cancer is a multi-faceted disease that consists of a web of multiple…

Animal Research Should be Allowed for Scientific Research With the development of technology and the demand of medical treatment, animal research appear in the public views. According to Use of Laboratory Animals (1988), animal research, which is using animals to test biomedical and behavioral research of animals to compare with human, were appeared in over 2000 years ago (p. 12). Some activities about the welfare of animals who used in research and groups of antivivisectionist to against to…

Society as a whole has evolved greatly since dinosaurs roamed the Earth over one million years ago. Medicine was in its infancy in the year 3000 B.C. Penicillin was accidentally discovered in 1928 by Alexander Fleming. Today, science has evolved in such a way that disease can be prevented, organs can be transplanted, and quality of life can be extended by decades from the technology that has arisen from the human mind. Research has provided extensive growth in the medical field. Illnesses…

Social identity is a person’s sense of who he is based on his social group membership. Social identity theory is a theoretical framework developed by Tajfel for the study of intergroup relations. The theory is based on the assumption that people want to improve their self-image through enhancing their self-esteem. The group people belong to is a source of self-esteem. The group people chose to belong to gave them their social identity and a sense of belonging. In order to improve the image of…

Plant Material Collection Fully grown whole plants of Tribulus terrestris Linn. were collected from different localities of Chennai, Tamilnadu. The fruits were separated out from the plants and washed in running tap water to remove adhering dirt and soil particles and dried first under shade in room temperature and secondly in a hot-air oven for complete drying at 50-60˚C. The dried fruits were made into coarse powder by grinding and stored in labelled bottles for further study and…

To put it differently, building cathedrals are much like modern laboratory activities as David Turnbull explains in his book, Masons, Tricksters and Cartographers (Turnbull). Ideas of how and the style to build these superstructures sometimes came from the concept of “capturing” technology. Capture refers how cultures…

saccharalis by the summer of the 2017. By maintaining large numbers of the parasitoid in the laboratory throughout the winter we will be able to start releasing as soon as the bean plataspid reappears in the field in spring. These release sites will include our long term monitoring open field plots of Kudzu. Releases will take place throughout the…
