things based on current research. Science is like a law which is subject to change as more evidence are found or redefined. For example, just think of how our understanding of the world has changed as a result of the invention of telescopes and microscopes, and that is why the science is a lifelong learning…
The development of advanced microscopes has enabled scientists to further their investigation on the criteria for life. As a result, biologists have been confronted with a baffling question: is there a size limit on life? If so, then just how small can something be before it can no longer be considered alive? Ever since the discovery of nano-sized particles called “nanobacteria” or “nanobes”, researchers have been scrambling to unravel and analyze the mysterious functions of these purported…
material. The three different surface materials were treated with Poly ethyl methacrylate monomer, Minute-Stain glaze, or mono-poly glaze. These different samples were compared after 30 days. Samples were analyzed with the use of scanning electron microscope. Initially the surface of all samples was intact. Fewer irregularities were seen in monopoly and Minute-Stain glaze treated samples. After 30 days, untreated liner and treated with monomer showed severe wear with exposure of generalized pits…
A new treatment that has gained a footing as a proper treatment for epidermolysis is the use of tissue-engineered skin grafts, also called apligrafs. Apligrafs are bilayer skin equivalents which contains components found in both real epidermis and dermis skin (Falabella; et al., 2000). The apligrafs are also the only bilayer skin grafts approved by the Food and Drug Administration (Falabella; et al., 2000). This treatment is being heavily researched because…
laminate materials is difficult due to their anisotropic and non homogeneity in nature which consist of distinctly different phases, their response to machining. Machining of composite materials is rarely avoided in view of losing the strength of components due to interlayer fracture and delamination damage. In specific situations where metal inserts are inevitable in case of joining or affixing with other mating part, in this situation milling and drilling operations can’t be avoided with…
Cardiac Differentiation Using BMP4 and CHIR99021 Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide with approximately 600,000 deaths in the U.S. only. One of the major difficulties with heart diseases is the heart’s failure to produce new and healthy cells in a timely manner. Unfortunately, the heart lacks the ability to quickly generate new tissue composed of viable cells, leading to patient death. Cardiovascular progenitor cells (CVPCs) are believed to be highly useful in…
Introduction Brahmaputra River, the peculiar drainage pattern of large Southeast Asian rivers, reflects a complicated tectonic history of crustal deformation in the Himalaya and river re-organization. In general, the Himalayas are divided into three tectono-lithologic domains: the Lower Himalayas, the Higher Himalayas and the Tethys Himalayas (Amano and Taira, 1992); surprisingly this river flows through over these three domains (Fig.1). The mineral assemblages are correlated with these…
What is Muscular Dystrophy? MD is a type of disease that is inherited, which causes a loss and wasting away of the skeletal muscles in one’s body. Currently, there are several types of MD. This research paper will focus on Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy. Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy is the most common form of MD that affects the muscles of the face, neck, and arms, has no treatment and has several ways to be diagnosed, and has a foundation that helps people who have the disease with medical…
The rabies virus has already survived for hundreds of years and is often fatal. The are 71 different species in this pathogen's family with 11 genera. The genus I identified is the lyssavirus from the family Rhabdovirdae. The species of the family Rhabdovirdae, I found on this farm in Montana, was rabies. Animals and humans can be a host to this virus. It is a zoonotic disease prevalent in wildlife, and the main animals involved vary between continents. In North America the main animals involved…
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE When typical virus attacks human blood cells. The infected cells can be visualized using a special microscope. The microscope generates digital images that medical doctors can analyse and identify the infected cells. Fig. 1: System Architecture Step 1: Image Pre-processing Step 1.1: Input image In this, when you click on pushbutton named input image, the current…
