Color One of the biggest draws of a grass lawn is the vibrant, green color. Giving up on grass doesn’t mean relegating your lawn to shades of tan. Decomposed…

The City of New York has been described as both crushing and hopeful, the gauntlet through which some of America’s greatest players have passed. From Alexander Hamilton to the man who revived his fame, Lin-Manuel Miranda, this city has extracted the raw talent of it citizens much in the way of a French press makes coffee, with boiling heat and then indomitable pressure. The city does not waste. It does not waste time, or resources, or space; like concentrated solution it seemingly pulls awe…

There are several factors that can be regarded as determinants of health; such as personal, social, economic, and environmental factors. Neither the health nor the factors that affecting health are constant across time, geographical locations or different socio-economic sub-groups. Direct comparisons of the level and gravity of different health related measures can offer direct evidence of an economy's evolution in raising overall standards of living and shed light on how different health…

The key to the future is in the cells. Scientists have unlocked the cell in stem cell investigations. On average, 30 people die daily because they can’t get a transplant and over 120,000 people are on the transplant list (Greely). This makes stem cell potentially life-saving for thousands of people. Scientists can now help save lives and protect human life. It may be hard to distinguish the difference between stem cells and other cells, but some of the major differences between stem cells and…

is not true alternative or replacement for a true living, whole-body system that animal research testing provides. Living creatures, animals and humans alike, are complex beings. Theoretical models, simply cannot replicate the complexities of a real, living system, nor can it replicate the inherent unpredictability. The use of live animals allows the research scientist to anticipate future issues with viability and efficacy. The scientist can view potential health problems and the…

1. Introduction Alzheimer’s disease can be characterized as a neurodegenerative disease where an individual suffers from progressive loss of memory and basic mental functions. Because researchers cannot pinpoint a specific factor that causes Alzheimer’s disease, many theories exist regarding its causation. One such theory, the dysfunction mitochondria within an individual’s brain cells, the organelle’s DNA mutation, and the implications these two variables have on the causation of Alzheimer’s…

research done that go in depth on understanding how cannabis affects the body in order to aid patients going through HIV/AIDS. What is a virus? This is the question that creates the foundation of our study. A virus is microscopic organism that can only replicate after penetrating an organism inside its host. It, in essence, is a parasite. Viruses have the ability to infect animals, plants, bacteria and archaea. Although there are millions of strains of viruses, in modern science, about 5000…

Does life exist elsewhere in the universe? — One of the most fascinating and compelling questions, whose answer has eluded us since the moment we learnt about the cosmos. It could in fact help us understand our own existence. There are several probabilistic arguments that not only try to show the existence of life, but also the existence of communicative civilisations. Frank Drake formulated the Drake equation one of the most famous one of these models. Rather than evaluate and quantify the…

The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) recently declared that “all biological evidence (any physical evidence that can connect an offender to a crime) found at crime scenes can be subjected to DNA testing” (NIJ, 2012). Forensically speaking, biological evidence represents the collection and preservation of materials that contain DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), a cellular fingerprint that is unique to everyone (University of Leicester, 2016). Within the past 30 years, DNA testing gained notoriety…
