Parallel fiber

can aid the reduction of deforestation by its ability to be using as hemp paper, lower pollution through the conversion to hemp biodegradable plastics and can reducing greenhouse effects from livestock used for clothing material via the use of hemp fibers. If managed properly with evident rules to its users and retail sales, hemp can be accepted and tolerated within society more easily enabling for a safer industry of the plant as well as less of a danger to its users. Factors dealing with the…

For the Carleton Prize for Biotechnology, I would like to nominate the brilliant scientist Rosalind Franklin. Her crystallographic work at King’s College, London was a crucial contribution to the double-helix model of DNA discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick (Gregory, 2002). Her contributions to the scientific community are still being quoted today and without the discovery of the structure of DNA, present day scientific projects such as The Genome project would not have been possible…

You’ve had a very long day and a good cocktail is all you need. Yes, alcohol puts you in a relaxed state of mind, but it’s only temporary. Alcohol can help you get to sleep faster, but it may impact the length of your sleep. Alcohol intensifies deep sleep or the third cycle sleep during the first half of the night, but then increases sleep disruptions in the second half of the of night. As mentioned earlier, REM is the cycle of sleep that causes dreams and develops memories. A large amount of…

one I want to solve with every fiber of my being. THIS is even I problem I don’t want help with, and one I never realized until the last event supporting the life motto. (Which, by the way, happened the time of typing) All in all, I think this is a good trait of mine, but one with many very large cons, and I think this is how I run my life. Stay to yourself, and you cannot hurt others. A blatant lie, considering I hurt anyone I talk to for 15 minutes, but that’s parallel to the point. I believe…

What is meant by “agonist and antagonist muscle pairs”? Give an example What is meant by agonist in muscle pairs is that it does the majority of the workload in an exercise and is considered the prime mover (primarily responsible for movement). The antagonist in respect to the agonist counteracts. The antagonist helps allow the agonist to perform a task. An example could be the biceps brachii contracts when doing elbow flexion. While the antagonist would be the triceps brachii relaxing during…

devices, emphasizing patient selection, technique, and complications. The precise mechanism of spinal cord modulation for neuropathic pain is partially understood. The original ‘control gate theory’ postulated that continual activation of afferent fibers within the dorsal columns of the spinal cord inhibited transmission of…

Advertisements affect the American public through celebrity endorsement, television commercials, and news articles in the media, and can also influence dietary decisions. The social changes and updates in technology display the rapid changes in what is currently popular to eat. A randomized control trial funded by The Financial Markets Foundation for Children, a nonprofit committed to improving the welfare of children, found that everytime a child was exposed to a product in a commercial, the…

Company used contour crafting to "print" 10 houses in a single day using a massive printer that was 490 feet long, 33 feet wide, and 20 feet deep. Another company named NASP, recently demonstrated that a giant three-armed printer filled with mud and fiber to build extremely cheap houses in some of the most remote places on Earth. This has obvious major implications on all construction, building, and home repair…

Procedure of LASIK: First, the eye is numbed with a few drops of topical anesthetic. An eyelid holder is placed between the eyelids to keep them open and prevent the patient from blinking. A suction ring placed on the eye lifts and flattens the cornea and helps keep the eye from moving. Once the cornea is flattened, a hinged flap of corneal tissue is created using an automated microsurgical device, either a laser or blade. This corneal flap is lifted and folded back (figure 1). Then the excimer…
