The Fuse

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), or Bechterew’s disease, is an inflammatory disease that can cause the vertebrae in the spine to fuse together. The fusing that takes place will make the spine less flexible and can lead to a curvature of the spine culminating in a stood posture. This disease predominantly affects males in their teens 20s, and is less common in women. Early signs and symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis may include pain and stiffness in the neck, lower back, and hips. These signs and…

The purpose of “Politics and Language” by George Orwell is about how he used his literary rules for readers and writers. He enforced simpler phrases for the ones who needed clarity in their writing. The author’s targeted audience is readers and writers. The purpose of the essay is persuasive and to warn people that power corrupts. Orwell wanted to let people know what kinds of writing were best suited for them, whether it was simple elementary writing or high quality writing. The overall tone…

a vesicle, or phagosome, which then fuses with a lysosome in the cytoplasm to break down and digest food particles. However, a large fraction of bacteria engulfed by protozoa are not digested. Instead, they remain metabolically active and survive to be discharged to the outside environment (Aijaz and Koudelka, 2017). The discharge of these indigestible materials occurs when the membrane of the phagosome reaches the opposite end of the plasma membrane and fuses with it to release the…

deaths and capture that more tragic, revealing, and exciting. Capote's breathtaking ability to fuse facts with a soft air of fiction, remarkable talent in manipulating his narrative and not to mention his unbelievable skills in engaging his readers in a fine thriller, has made his non-fiction book In cold Blood a fascinating choice of a classical reading. To begin with, Capote's breathtaking ability to fuse facts, notes, and interviews with a spark of fiction was genuinely remarkable. The book…

The influence high mass stars have on our Universe is that they create and affect many other bodies in space. For example, when they explode, they create supernovas and eventually those supernovas create black holes. They also are very beautiful and powerful. A high mass star starts out in a nebula and is created by the matter that lies in the nebula. When the hydrogen gas is forced together due to gravity, the star begins to spin and reach extreme temperatures. It gets so hot that it begins…

Earth. Many scientists have referred to it as a massive nuclear reactor that burns numerous amounts of hydrogen; and just like an actual nuclear reactor, hydrogen is the essential fuel in nuclear fusion reactions. The hydrogen in these fusion reactions fuse together to form beryllium, helium, and lithium atoms. “The temperature on the surface of the Sun is approximately six thousand degrees Celsius. While at its core, it is about a million degrees Celsius” (Solarsystem.nasa.gov,2013). The Sun,…

microtrauma within myocytes of target muscles. Damage to muscle cells induce activation of myosatellite cells, which proliferate as myoblast [1]. Myoblasts differentiate and recover damaged cells as they fuse with the tissues, making the cell more durable than the original state. Satellite cells may also fuse with one another to develop a new muscle [2] which results in hyperplasia. Supplements such as; protein, BCAA, and HMB target supplying nutrients necessary for the recovery phase as…

of my role, I worked with the White, Hispanic, African-American and the second generation Indian-Americans to understand the cultural differences and similarities. I am part of the new world of second generation Indian Americans who learned how to fuse Indian traditions with American notions. I am an American, by birth and geography. I grew up as an Indian. I know the difference between Starbucks chai latte and mom-made masala chai. I can switch from Telugu to English without missing a beat. I…

The purpose is to remove the other sperm by a cortical granule reaction, specifically by raising of the vitelline envelope. There are thousands of granules beneath the cell membrane that are similar to the granules in the acrosome of sperm. They will fuse with the membrane when Ca2+ is released from the ER within the egg. This fusion will then cause an exocytosis of the granules’ contents between the cell membrane and the vitelline envelope. An enzyme, cortical granule serine protease, is…

plasma membrane. There are questions regarding how SNARE proteins specificity is enacted and controlled. Exocytosis requires two families of proteins, Rabs and SNAREs. While Rabs help vesicles dock onto the membrane, SNAREs promote the membrane to fuse. During exocytosis, Ca2+ increases intracellularly, which acts as a signal to calcium sensor…
