Plasma display

an exaggerated version of the interaction between the Earth and the Sun. Earth’s magnetic field acts like a shield to the harmful solar winds by funneling them around it. When the sun emits large bursts of plasma some slip into the Earth’s upper atmosphere at the poles creating a light display in the sky called the aurora borealis. Mars does not have the same magnetic shield as Earth does. The following picture illustrates how influential the difference that the magnetic fields make. On the…

goes on to inhibit an ATP sensitive potassium channel (KATP channel) [17]. This then leads to the membrane becoming depolarised which triggers an influx of Ca2+ ions. These Ca2+ ions cause the migration of a vesicle containing insulin to move to the plasma membrane which then releases…

small gallery in the middle of Stanley Street brings together three artist displaying their artworks that vary in scale, medium, and character. The gallery standings in the heart of Sydney’s Darlinghurst art precinct, the exciting energetic gallery displays works of mostly Australian Artists. Showcases the works of established and emerging artists. The space is a multi-disciplinary exhibition space showing the work of artists in a diverse range of mediums including painting, sculpture,…

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is identified as a metabolic disorder, directly involving the pancreas which has a chronic effect on the body in those who are diagnosed. The lack of insulin production and/or the body’s decreased ability to use insulin effectively is what leads to the disease process causing multiple body systems to undergo changes as a result (Shrivastava, 2013). DM can be classified into two categories: Type 1 or Type 2. The National Diabetes Statistics Report 2014, consensus that 29.1…

Transcytosis is mediated by the binding of a receptor protein on the plasma membrane of an endothelial cell, with its specific ligand on the apical side. Caveolin-I protein present on the apical surface of the plasma membrane then forms microdomains called ‘caveolae’, which mediate transport of the ligand-receptor complex into the cell. Thus, coupling the nanocarrier-drug conjugate to a ligand…

Airway/Pain Management Mentor Experience Reflection Mentoring is the most valued factor in an educational setting. The performance of the group depends on the competency of the mentor. Confidentially, professional skill and communication are the three most important characteristics of an instructor pose to have an active mentorship (Dunn, 2012). Professional competency of the mentor is one of the principal mentor characters leads the mentee towards professional skill development. In the…

The authors created the Accelerated Sensor of Action Potentials 1 (ASAP 1) using a green fluorescent protein source on the extracellular side of the plasma membrane to highlight the membrane potential changes as demonstrated by the fluctuation in the fluorescent brightness. Neuronal action potentials generated are monitored up to 200 Hz in frequency using this device. The general purpose of this experiment was to further understand information processing in the brain and how brain activity is…

of these receptors might prevent glioblastoma invasion (Miller, R., & Perry, A. 2007). Glioblastoma also may arise through 2 distinct pathways of neoplastic progression. Tumors that progress from lower-grade (II or III) astrocytic tumors typically display both well-differentiated and poorly differentiated foci. Secondary GBMs develop in younger patients, with time to progression from lower-grade lesions ranging from months to decades. Primary and secondary GBMs also harbor distinct molecular…

Name: Rawaa Ali Fadhel ID: 201510493 Echinocandins and Flucytosine as Antifungal agents.  Echinocandins Echinocandins are the first class of antifungals which target the fungal cell wall, also was a significant achievement in antifungal chemotherapy. Echinocandins discovered during the search for new antibiotics, as fermentation metabolites with antifungal activity. Three semi-synthetic echinocandin derivatives have been developed for clinical use: • caspofungin, • micafungin, •…

(Foster T 1996) Coagulase is a traditional marker for identifying Staphylococcus aureus from other types of staphylococci. (Foster T 1996) The coagulase test detects the amount of coagulase. A colony of this organism is mixed with plasma and incubated at 37°C for four hours resulting in a clot formation. This indicates a coagulase positive Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus can also express a deoxyribonuclease (DNase). (Foster T 1996) A DNase test is commonly used to differentiate…
