The Signal-Man

a. Status/pg.96: the position that someone occupies in a social group (also called social status). Status is something that all of us seem to be worried about even though we should not be. What some define status as varies from person to person. Some strive to have a high status in society some people do not care. Gang members care about their status than the average person. A gang member especially in MS13 cares about his or her status because the higher they are in status the more respect…

then reassemble. This will cause the cycle to end as the G-Protein is now again in its inactive heterotrimeric, GDP bound state. Once the G-Protein has left the receptor, the receptor can then go onto activate other nearby G-Proteins. This leads to signal amplification as the receptor, when bound to an agonist, can activate multiple…

nuclear power plants, where there is a need of evaluation and detection of radiation level and temperature change. The fiber optic sensor are application specific and are based on chemical and physical phenomenon which are then combined with electronic signals through more custom designed protocol. Thus varied uses of these sensors leads to the fragmentation of the market where these sensors find their application in Parameter measurements such as temperature, pressure, strain, vibration,…

In the book the author discusses race briefly with an elderly man. He stated how whites and blacks will not only never be able to live together but will never get along as well. He even goes as far as to say that you should never trust a white man. Naturally we as human beings will racially segregate without even really knowing it. However in gang neighborhoods this is taken to the extreme. My roommate…

Clinical Question 2 – Genetics, Oncology Limit your answer to no more than 3 pages, not including references. I will only read your first 3 pages. A 54 yo woman is diagnosed with malignant melanoma on the posterior neck. The lesion has a horizontal spread of roughly 12 mm although borders are quite irregular. She undergoes surgical resection with wide, grossly clear margins. Pathology report suggests features consistent with an ulcerated lentigo maligna melanoma to a depth of 4 mm. • Describe…

Calcium is the richest mineral in our body holding many functions during the human development. Ca2+ controls many cellular processes such as: metabolism, gene transcription, fertilisation, proliferation, hypertrophy, secretion, exocytosis, cardiac ventricular mechanisms, neuronal dopaminergic pacemaker mechanisms, contraction, coordination and thinking, (Rubin, 2016). These processes can occur anywhere between a few microseconds to hours to complete. The basal Ca2+ concentration of…

signalling is cause by gradients across the plasma membrane, as the resting concentration of Ca2+ in the cytoplasm is normally kept ˷100 nM, compared to the extracellular concentration which is ˷1.5mM. To continue low concentration within the cell, Ca2+ signals can be generated either from extracellular calcium or from within the intracellular stores. Some proteins within the cell act as sensors and buffers to ensure that the concentration remains within its range and does not rise above 10x-7M…

INTRODUCTION - ~ THESIS - When evaluating Arnold “Junior” Spirit from Sherman Alexie’s The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian and Jin Wang from Gene Luen Yang’s American Born Chinese, similarities radiate in both characters as their disparity in race deem the two of them as outcasts in the entirety of society. In addition to their lack of social interactions, their uniformity in their impulsive decisions cost them each a dear friend. Although Junior and Jin are quite similar, they…

I-Kappa-B-alpha which is often abbreviated IkBa is a protein whose role is to mask the nuclear localization signals to inhibit the NF-kB (nuclear factor kappa beta) proteins by keeping them in inactive states and isolating them in the cytoplasm, this inhibits the NF-kB transcription factors and blocks the NF-kB transcription factors from binding with DNA. NF-kB is a protein complex that is responsible for controlling cytokine production, transcription of DNA, cell survival, and plays a key role…

I can list all the fact in the world based on why tattoos in the workplace are and are not accepted in the workplace, but that’s not what intrigued me into writing about tattoos. I find tattoos self portraying because not only does oneself reveal based on the art made in our bodies, but the significance it has on us and the image itself. Many people may not care or know but we all have a right to express ourselves which includes showing your tattoos. Although tattoos in the workplace are not…
