STEM fields

runners plunged their way through them. I was sitting in the dewy grass underneath the canopy of our tent. Rain trickled down the stadium steps as I heard the booming announcer eagerly bellow, “Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 2016 State Track and Field Meet.” My heart began to beat like a hammer pounding upon a solid bed of concrete. However, I was calmed by a sense of nostalgia as I remembered running through a familiar driving rain on my home track; the track where I had spent hours…

million-degree atmosphere and drives the solar wind.” (IRIS mission overview) This mission could help us to understand how material in the Suns corona reaches temperatures thousands of times greater than its surface. It may also explain how magnetic fields cause solar flares. All of these things will help us to understand…

Goal: Educate home buyers as to why a septic inspection is so important before buying Word count in this document: 797 Title: Why you should get your future home's septic inspected before buying it If you're looking to buy a home, you should always get it inspected first. You can never be careful when making a huge purchase like this, so it's always a good idea to get it thoroughly inspected before you sign those final papers. Aside from getting your potential future home inspected, you…

TITLE PAGE EXECTUTIVE SUMMARY CONTENTS PAGE INTRODUCTION CASE STUDY REPORT BODY BIOPRINING- Design concepts- Bioprinting is the three-dimensional printing of biological tissue and organs through the layering of living cells. While this area of manufacturing is still in the experimental stage and is currently used primarily in scientific study rather than applied science, the possibility of creating functional replacement…

Stem Cell Research Stem cells have been a factor in the scientific world since the 1800 when scientists figured out all living organisms are made up of cells; and some cells have the potential to create other cells, yet many people are still misinformed on the uses and great potential that stem cells posses. Most people who are against stem cells are not in favor of them because of the old extraction processes used but gladly science has found a new, more humane way to do so. Stem Cells can be…

Stem cells research could eventually help lead to cures for numerous diseases. Cancer, for example, affects one in four Americans, and takes 1,800 lives every day. Heart disease affects 64 million people, costing hospitals $368 million (Germinder, Hills). There are many potential uses for stem cells. Stem cells can be transformed into almost anything. It is crucial in the health industry to understand how stem cells are extracted, how they are beneficial, and how the research for stem cells is…

Have you ever imagined the world with an identical copy of you? If you have you know it can be a terrifying thought. Duplicating ones – self would be walking in a world of no individuality. The world would lack diversity if nobody ever had the chance to be unique. Scientists are fascinated with the idea of cloning. You may ask, what is cloning? Cloning is the production of an organism with genetic material identical to that of another organism (Seidel 1).One’s physical character and behavioral…

Growing embryonic stem cells in labs can create millions. These cells can then be frozen and sent to other labs for further experimentation (“Stem Cell Basics”). So creating stem cell lines is what the scientists are doing in their labs or using existing stem cell lines to research embryonic stem cells. Stem cell lines are a large number of cells, all carrying the same genes, grown in laboratories through many cycles of growth and division over a lot of generations of cells. One cell line can be…

Stem Cells are they ethical? The use of stem cells has a lot of potential, whether used to cure otherwise incurable diseases like Parkinson 's disease, Alzheimer 's disease, diabetes, or a spinal cord injury. Stem cells can also be used to create new organs to save thousands of lives every year for the people that need an organ transplant. Like all things though there are some downfalls. In order to obtain these critical stem cells, it involves the destruction of human embryos. In turn, it…

of different cell types. Essentially, stem cells are the blank slate necessary for the creation of specialized cells. These specialized cells include muscle cells, brain cells or red blood cells, etc. Adult Stem Cells and Embryonic Stem Cells – The Difference Adult Stem Cells Adult stem cells can continue to self-renew or divide, indefinitely. This enables them to produce a variety of cell types: However, although there is some evidence that suggests adult stem cells can become other types of…
