As technology has gotten better and more console varieties have come out, video games have become a huge part of people’s lives. Over sixty-five percent of households in the U.S., play video games. The average time spent people use playing video games is around eighteen hours per week. Though this is the average, there are larger percentages, especially close to the teenage years and younger. What is so off turning about this though, is that there are beneficial educational learnings within…

Bacteria They are formed by a single rudimentary cell. They have no nucleus or plastids, but chromatin. Some have assimilators pigments. They are on earth, water, and air, and can generally move. They may be causing disease and therefore are called pathogens. Those that do not cause disease are called saprophytes. In some cases, they are even useful, as in digestive processes or synthesis of vitamins. By the way, they are called coconuts when circular; bacilli if they have the form of rods;…

On farm interventions currently practised by egg producers for controlling egg related Salmonellosis Australia Major commercial egg producers in Australia are represented by Australian Egg Corporation Limited (AECL). The AECL has a voluntary egg quality program which provides guidelines for food safety, biosecurity, environmental use, hen health, welfare and labelling for the national egg industry. The AECL has also developed voluntary Codes of Practice for assisting egg producers. These codes…

This gene therapy was achieved through the use of hemodynamic tail vein injections to transfect hepatocytes in vivo with a plasmid containing osteocalcin and a control empty vector. The gene therapy was also designed to express a vector engineered to cause synthesis of a mutated osteocalcin protein which was incapable of being carboxylated. The expression of both of these forms…

The Identification of Two Unknown Bacteria Mixtures Through the Method of Characteristic Testing and Elimination Khoa Vuong TA: Charlie Roll Micro 3301 4/11/24. Abstract: There is a surplus amount of microorganisms that are out there in the world. A single swab of any surface, including the human body, will yield many different types of microorganisms. Once grown on a nutrient-rich medium, the identification of these microorganisms can be made by isolating pure colonies and performing and using…

Extra Virgin Olive Oil Impairs UV-Induced Cell Damage in Cancer-Prone Mice INTRODUCTION Ultraviolet radiation produces various wavelengths that are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The four different UV wavelengths are classified as UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVA produces the longest wavelength at 320-400nm, UVB produces wavelengths from 290-320nm, and UVC wavelengths are the shortest wavelength that is completely absorbed by the ozone layer. However, it is known that…

What is biodiversity? Introduction Biodiversity is defined as the variety of life on Earth at all its levels and includes genes to ecosystems, as well as the ecological and evolutionary processes that sustain it (Cardinale, 2012). The Earth’s biodiversity has long been a source of wonderment and scientific curiosity, but is increasingly becoming a source of concern. The sheer diversity of life is of inestimable value. Biodiversity has a number of functions on Earth, from providing a foundation…

INTRODUCTION Cancer can be defined as a special kind of illness that occurs when the cells in a given part of a body begin to grow out of proportion than is normal. Currently, in the United States, this disease is the second leading cause of deaths. Human beings over the history have had tumors and remedies have been implemented, and others continue to be performed and studied over time (American Cancer Society, 2010). These methods of treatment include chemo-preventive methods and of late…
