Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) is a rare, autosomal recessive metabolic disorder in which the body is unable to process certain amino acids properly. It causes brain damage and progressive nervous system degeneration. MSUD is caused by mutations in three different genes: BCKDHA, BCKDHB and DBT (Warrell, Cox and Firth, 2012). The BCKDHA gene causes MSUD Type Ia due to the mutation in the E1α subunit, BCKDHB causes Type Ib due to the mutation in the E1ᵦ subunit, and DBT causes Type II due to…

Mysterious Monsters on Maple Street Imagine the horror and fear of finding out that there is an alien in your neighborhood. That is what happened in the fictional teleplay, “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street”, written by Rod Serling in 1960. As well as the remake of the teleplay, “Monsters on Maple Street”, in 2003. The 1960 version is about neighbors pointing fingers at others for being aliens that caused the power outage. Similarly to the 2003 version were neighbors find scapegoats for the…

and “Monsters Are Due on Maple Street”, written by Rod Serling. I discovered that Rod Serling never specifically cites the Cold War in his teleplay “Monsters”. Yet Mr. Serling portrayed throughout the story to illustrate a picture of paranoia, distrust, and fear that created an atmosphere of the United States during the Cold War. To begin with, the setting in the beginning of the of both texts were peaceful and ideally. However, after electricity stopped working on Maple Street people were…

I think that the theme in ¨Monsters are Due on Maple Street¨ by Rod Sterling, is that fear can make you act out in ways that you usually wouldn’t. In the story, a strange object flew over a Maple Street, a part of a neighborhood. All of the power went out, including the cars. The people that lived on that street started blaming other people of calling the monster’s there. They all went crazy. In the end, you could see these two figures talking about how it happens the same every time. At the…

For example, the Toronto Maple Leafs had 28 wins during the 2015-2016 season. So, by taking the total wins (28) and diving it by the total games (82), the winning percentage will be 34.15%. There are other factors that could affect a team’s winning percentage as well. I have decided…

the nation. People come from all over to the popular shopping area downtown. Maple Road intersects Woodward Avenue at the heart of downtown Birmingham, where many of the businesses are clustered. Maple is one of the main roads used by shoppers to access the downtown. I regularly run through Birmingham and down Maple so I know how important the road is to people trying to enter the city. In September of 2015, West Maple Road was converted from a 4 lane road to a 3 lane road (2 normal lanes and a…

In the play, Monsters Are Due on Maple Street by Rod Serling, the characters’ actions and events advance the plot very effectively. The text states , “What was that? A meteor?” They are all very confused as to what is happening around them. If this never happened then the whole play would have never happened or go differently somehow. In All if they never saw the “meteor” then they would have just gone about their day. Then some more things happen on maple street and the plot continues. For…

hand-colored prints. An interesting example of an unconventional medium is an artwork called “Maple Leaves on a River” created by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). This artist took a sheet of paper he had painted blue and let a chicken with red paint on his feet run freely on it. Hokusai created this artwork that communicated a sensation to his audience of a fall day by the river without actually showing this. “Maple Leaves on a River” is a perfect example of an artist using an offbeat…
