Systemic Telomere Length and Aging Telomeres represent essential structure for genome stability, since their role is to protect the extremities of linear chromosomes from degradation and recombination. Furthermore, they also participate in the nuclear architecture, as well as in the meiosis-specific genome recombination and reorganization. Telomere length is the result of the equilibrium between shortening and lengthening mechanisms, and in many different organisms there is a decrease in…

temperatures while increasing the times. Water-based holdups of blastospores and conidia were set to ca 1x〖10〗^7 〖mL〗^2 and detained in a water soak at 50 ± 1˚C for 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 minutes. In those times they started finding changes. The predictor variables in this experiment were the temperature changes, while the response variables were the the number of germinated propagules. As they increased the temperature the germination percentage went down. Q #6: What is the major conclusion…

Despite my wish to deny the fact, I must admit that the issues involved in State v. Johnson still occur in present-time. One personal experience that appeared in my mind during this podcast was the time a man followed me while I was alone in downtown Ashland last year. The man approached me and expressed some frightening things that caused me to run away. After I arrived back to SOU, the first person I told the story to angered me by responding with “What race was he? Was he black?”…

Age is a significant predictor; according to the literature younger juveniles are more likely to reoffend than older juveniles. Ethnicity is also found to be a strong predictor of recidivism in juveniles. Deep rooted mistrust of the police, courts and corrections in communities of color have particularly contributed to the overrepresentation of racial…

As cited by Maddux & Rogers (1983) not only does self-efficacy expectancy considerably effect intentions to implement the recommended coping behaviour but it also demonstrated to be the most influential predictor of behavioural intentions. Research on TTM has revealed that the model gives a clear understanding on an approach to smoking cessation; however a majority of studies have exposed many limitations with its claims. TTM would benefit from precise definitions…

The article written in the New York Times, entitled “A Breast Cancer Surgeon Who Keeps Challenging the Status Quo”, focuses on Doctor Esserman approach to breast cancer screening and treatment. Doctor Esserman argues that breast cancer screening has resulted in over diagnosis and treatment for individuals with positive result (Hefner, 2015). According to the article, Dr. Esserman is an avid supporter of the active surveillance for patients with ductal carcinoma in situ or D. C. I. S. instead of…

According to the textbook, early peer rejection is one of the strongest predictors for future antisocial behavior (Bartol & Bartol, 2016). While peer rejection alone does not guarantee that a child will develop to have antisocial tendencies, it does contribute to a cascade effect. The developmental cascade model indicates that “a person’s developmental skills or deficits enhance, affect, or determine the next skill or deficit along a life-course trajectory” (Bartol & Bartol, 2016, p. 30).…

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Over 60% of the cardiovascular deaths are due to ischemic heart disease (IHD) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (cdc wonder ref). Systemic hypertension is one of the leading risk factors worldwide for IHD and AMI (GBD). Hypertension affects over 75 million people in the United States and the prevalence is increasing worldwide. Heart attack statistics showed that 69% of patients who present with their first myocardial…

If grit is a significant predictor of success, then I feel I have reached that goal. An article in Forbes Magazine talks about how the topic of grit, and whether or not young people have it anymore, was the focus of a TED Talk and a book by Angela Duckworth about the power and passion of perseverance. I started swimming competitively when I was in the second grade and am still swimming. Like any competitive sport, there are plenty of days when I don’t feel like getting in the pool -- I’m tired…

The Impact of Geography Between Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia Geography has an extremely underestimated influence on civilizations. Ancient societies were especially shaped by geography because they depended heavily on local natural resources to survive. Two societies in particular that experienced this impact were Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. The land surrounding these countries helped to develop a thriving economy, government, and culture in each population. Both Egypt and Mesopotamia…
