Spore

I particularly enjoyed the scene, where FBI attempt to quarantine the entire building, but to forget to turn off the air system. As a result, those spores managed to escape from the building. It was also interesting to know that Anthrax incident occurred around the same time as the 9/11. Although I believe that biological warfare is merely a fictional story, it is a reality according to the book, and…

Article Review Clostridium difficile is a bacterial organism that can be found in a small percentage of individuals alongside the natural flora of the digestive system; it produces spores, which can live for long periods of time outside of the body and due to their nature are excreted within fecal matter (Kenneley, 2013, pp. 63). According to Irena Kenneley in the article "Clostridium difficile infection is on the rise", C. difficile is increasing in frequency among individual populations…

Contrary to Hick’s thesis; pain and suffering are not needed for moral development or to complete one’s “soul-making” process therefore Hick’s argument for soul-making is untenable and should be rejected. The soul-making theodicy is as follows; the idea that God has only allowed the existence of evil into the world so that people are allowed to learn from these evils in order for us to develop our moral character; to learn and further understand values. As an end result of this moral development…

Spider mites live on the leaves of the cannabis plants and are a common problem faced by all weed growers. They belong to the group of ticks and spiders, and are usually characterized by their ability to spin silk webs. Thrips on the other hand are small insects, with the ability of quickly damaging a cannabis plant. We will first discuss the right way of tacking spider mites. These bugs are quite common and therefore, growers need to remain vigilant to spot them as early as possible. Good…

Research on Allergies By Jonas Wilson, Ing. Med. Allergies are exaggerated immune responses to substances that would otherwise be seen as harmless. Allergies rank high on the list among the world’s most common health conditions. They begin when an allergen, the substance responsible for the reaction, causes the production of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies, which coat mast cells. On subsequent re-exposure to the allergen, IgE reacts and causes the release of histamine and other…

MOLD CONTROL Mold is a health risk What is it? Mold is comprised of microorganisms that are fungi, and it reproduces by spores. There are over 100,000 mold species around the world, with as much as 1,000 different species that are common in the United States. How do I know I have it? Mold is actually a natural process in our ecosystem. An important part of our natural environment, mold can also grow at unsafe levels in our homes. The weather in your part of the country will influence the…

only at a 50% of the population. This pathogen also does not continue to multiple outside of its environment in the host cell. C. brunetii is very environmentally stable and handles physical stress - such as ultraviolet light and disinfectants – in a spore-like manner, living in the environment for years. It is an extremely hardy bacterium that has a high drive to target macrophages and monocytes, which are seen commonly in the placental…

frigate sailed into the harbor of the colonial town of Jamestown, Virginia with its human cargo deep within its sweltering bowels. Unknowingly, the Dutch captain introduced the first captured Africans to the New World (North America) implanting the spores of a slavery system that evolved into an ordeal of unimaginable brutality and exploitation. According to James A. Henretta, “And so came the conflict. Called the War Between the States by southerners and the War of Rebellion by northerners,…

boating traffic, which is common in the sound. If also G. turuturu can survive the low temperatures of LIS in winter months when recreated in a lab environment, then other methods need to be explored, because extraction is impossible with the growth and spore abilities of this weed. G. turuturu can generate up to 300 blades in one month (Heinonen…

Historical Use of Anthrax The first anthrax bomb of the West was dropped onto Gruinard Island in 1942. The test was conducted by a British team while American officials observed (Mangold & Goldberg, 2000). The test provided disturbing results about how badly an anthrax weapon could contaminate a targeted area. It took half a century to finally clean up the anthrax contamination but the tests proved that anthrax could be produced, weaponized and transported quite a distance to inflict damage to a…
