The protein that is in sequence one is Alpha-synuclein. Alpha-synuclein is a protein whose function in the healthy brain is currently unknown (Alpha-synuclein and Parkinson's Disease, n.d.). Parkinson's disease researchers take great interest in it because it is a major constituent of Lewy bodies, which are protein clumps that are the pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (Alpha-synuclein and Parkinson's Disease, n.d.). Researchers work to characterize the protein's role in Parkinson’s…

Have you ever heard the saying, “wrong place, wrong time,” or maybe that life is about “being at the right place at the right time”? Or have you ever heard about the cartels and their crimes down in Mexico? Murders, kidnapping, drug trafficking, and lots of partying goes on every day by every cartel and by every drug lord south of the border. Unfortunately, these two topics have much in common in Mexico. Civilians that do not have anything to do with the cartels get caught up in these kind of…

Climate Change and Trade Networks as Causes of the Classic Maya Collapse The ancient Lowland Maya were a thriving and advanced society, capable of building great monuments able to survive to the present. It is therefore a mystery as to why, at the end of the Classic period from the eighth to eleventh century, Maya sites show signs of massive decline and desertion; this is referred to as the “collapse” of the Maya, though it was not an immediate or evenly distributed phenomenon (Douglas,…

The full name of EHBP1 is "EH domain binding protein 1." The symbol for the gene is EHBP1. Other names for the EHBP1 gene are HPC12, NASCIN, and KIAA0903. EH Domain Binding Protein 1 is a protein coding gene. This gene codes for an Eps15 homology domain binding protein. Its protein type is a vesicle. The encoded protein may play a role in endocytic trafficking. It is associated with prostate cancer. This gene is commonly found within the cytosol and the plasma membrane of a cell. It's size is…

But one accident took a larger toll than the most. “Frida Kahlo began painting after she was severely injured in a bus accident” (Kahlo, paragraph 1). This shows that after the accident, Frida Kahlo 's career as a painter had begun. Meaning a part of her innocence of the perfect pictured world was lost, realizing that there is only harsh reality, cold as ice. And for the fact that Kahlo only paints her own reality and not dreams, nor nightmare strictly…

Moreover, while Bloom endorses the linearity of influence, and Borges highlights its fluidity, a third distinct perception emerges. Thompson (2014, p.114) utilises David Foster Wallace’s short story B.I. #59 as a framework from which to interrogate Bloom and Borges’ arguments, detecting, “throughout [Wallace’s] fiction, influence comes not only from the past (as in Bloom’s model), or from a future, anticipated text (as in Borges’s model) but also from the cultural present.” Consequently,…

Sequence one’s protein was found to be apolipoprotein E. This protein is known as the APOE gene. The protein forms molecules called lipoproteins by combining fats in the body. Lipoproteins have the responsibility to package cholesterol and other fats, and send them through the bloodstream. To prevent disorders with this protein, it is important to maintain the right level of cholesterol, so that it does not affect the heart and blood vessels that could causes a heart attack, stroke, or a…

"The Homestead on Rainy Mountain Creek," written by N. Scott Momaday, is a memoir about the author 's childhood and ancestral history in the Kiowa village of Rainy Mountain Creek. He speaks about the various traditions of the Kiowa tribe, the preservation of memory, the geography of the "mountain", the importance of family, and the traditional values of the tribe versus the invading european "white" culture. However, I believe that the main focus of this memoir is the Kiowa Tribe itself and its…

As a result of the Watergate scandal, a series of laws were passed, by Congress, to limit the president’s power. This included amending the Freedom of Information Act. The change limited the president 's power to wage undeclared war, and the laws surrounding financial disclosure, like the Ethics in Government Act. The Ethics in Government Act established the public financial disclosure requirements for senior employees of the executive branch, as well…

time, thriving in a prosperous age — that is, until the unexpected arrival of the fearsome United States. These invaders divided the Kiowas and took their homeland. But this is no fairy tale; there would be no hero to save them from these dark times. N. Scott Momaday’s autobiography, “The Way to the Rainy Mountain” asserts and informs the audience of the negative impact the U.S. had on the Kiowa people. Momaday executes his purpose by using the experiences of the Kiowa people, his grandmother,…
