and not necessarily the injury. On 23 June 2003 Ms. Donna Majewski of the Great Lakes Chemical Corporation requested interpretation of the standard based on a the administration of an anti-viral treatment given to an employee that was bitten by a macaque monkey, who are known to carry Herpes Virus 1. In this scenario the treatment was given prior to testing of the monkey. After the monkey was tested the treatment was deemed unnecessary. OSHA interpreted the standard to read because the treatment…

length of time after presentation. Further, symptomatic disease has been recorded in immunosuppressed people with manifestations going on for more than 2 years and in immunocompetent youngsters with side effects going on for up to 6 weeks. Also, braid macaques contaminated with a human norovirus shed infection in their dung for no…

In the previous chapter, it was shown that a three-component structure of relationship quality exists within this study group and gives evidence to suggest that this theoretical framework is likely to be reflected in other captive chimpanzee groups. Chapter 3 explains the quality and asymmetrical nature of chimpanzee relationships at the dyadic level. However, it is important to understand how a relationship between two individuals contributes to the dynamics of an entire social group as the…

“What is more important? Man or Monkeys” this was the question asked by the Chairman of Kerala State Electricity Board, in 1970. The incident dates back to the days when Silent Valley protection movement was at peak. Save Silent Valley was a movement to save the Silent valley, an evergreen forest in Kerala, in 1973. The campaign was designed to save the Silent Valley from being flooded due to construction of Hydro-electric power plant in that very place by Kerala State Electricity Board. This…

Tetra the monkey was a female monkey born in October 1999. Tetra is a rhesus macaque and was cloned by the process of embryo splitting. Tetra was the first primate cloned. “Cloning is a cell, cell product or organism that is genetically identical to the unit or individual from which it was derived.” Researchers and institution Tetra was created in the Oregon National Primate Research Centre in Portland, United States of America by a team that was led by Professor Gerald Schatten. Professor…

The legalisation of three-parent babies (mitochondria donation) in recent years has been a broadly discussed matter, with scientists and everyday citizens alike, opposing to or approving of the procedure. The pros do not outweigh the cons at this stage of time to legalise mitochondria donation. The procedure of mitochondria donation is not only relevant to the individuals undergoing the procedure, but is relevant to society as a whole. Mitochondria donation broaches the concerns of ‘designer…

To start this experiment, two microcentrifuge tubes were exposed to different ingredients. One was labeled “+DNA,” the other with “-DNA.” They were both filled with different bacteria. More specifically, the “+DNA” tube had pGFP in it and included a plasmid. Included on that plasmid were two genes: gfp (gene for green fluorescent protein) and an ampicillin resistant gene. The gfp gene makes cells glow and the resistant gene fights against ampicillin, which kills cells. This plasmid DNA was…

Introduction Mitochondrial Replacement Therapy (MRT) is an In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatment that became legal in the UK in 2015 as a method of overcoming mitochondrial disease. There are several methodologies for performing MRT, including spindle transfer and pronuclear transfer, but methods essentially make use of donor mitochondria whilst maintaining the chromosomal DNA from the mother (or both parents depending on methodology). Since the discovery and development of MRT, the…

findings prove that with this material, the Archaic Homo sapiens did partake in cannibalistic activities. Cannibalism was not the only way that Archaic Homo sapiens acquired their food. “Abundant fauna and flora recovered from Bilzingsleben include macaques, forest elephants, steppe and forest rhinoceros, bison, deer, large horses, wild oxen, and bears” (Conroy and Pontzer 460). At many sites, the medium or large fauna found were gazelles, boars, and deer, and smaller fauna found in many…

Animal testing has been carried out by researchers for many years all over the world for medical advancement and products. Animal rights activists and researchers robustly debate both sides of animal testing. Involuntary animals are tortured and killed in an inhumane way to benefit humans. The malicious treatment of animals for research is unprincipled. The problem in using animals for research is they have no voice or rights to decline the unethical torture and suffering they endure in an…
