The Tubes

The day I first went tubing I conquered fear itself. Fighting against the water, against nature, I won, but it wasn't without challenge. The water crashed against the tube. Starting to lose my grip, I slowly brought my hand back to the handle. Then the tube jerked ahead and I began to fall. The day was refreshing with the temperature in the upper 70s, unlike the normal 100 degree weather we had before. Excitedly, I jumped onto the boat knowing I would never be the same when I came back.…

4.00 5.32 3.52 3.95 All results are recorded with 2 decimal points for higher accuracy Numbers highlighted in yellow are outliers Qualitative Observations: In all of the sets, DNA has formed as a white cloudy mass in the ethanol layer in each test tube. The DNA is also very fragile and will break apart into loose strands if we agitate it too…

BACKGROUND Photosynthesis is a solar-powered process that transforms energy from the sun into oxygen and carbohydrates (Harris-Haller). For the process to occur visible light, water and carbon dioxide have to be present. When photosynthesis has occurred the final product includes organic molecules such as glucose an oxygen (necessary for cellular respiration). There is a significant correlation between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. During photosynthesis, the plant uses carbon dioxide…

reduced to E. faecalis, B. subtilis, B.megaterium, and S. aureus. With this result I was also able to eliminate S. epidermis, M. roseus, and M. luteus. Additionally on day one, I inoculated bacteria 7B onto a Urea tube of media in order to further eliminate incorrect bacteria. The Urea tube would distinguish if bacterium 7B would produce Urease, resulting in a positive test result. After 48 hours of incubation, the result of the Urea agar slant was positive. This result reduced my possible…

(LIA) black cap tube will be used to test decarbonation lysine, if positive for decarbonation it will have a purple slant and if negative it will be a darker red color. The LIA tube will also be used to test decarboxylate lysine, which will help us distinguish bacteria that will produce hydrogen sulfide from those who cannot. If positive for decarboxylate lysine it will have a purple butt, and if negative it will have a yellow butt. The Sulfide Indole Motility (SIM) blue cap tube is a semisolid…

Exam on COPD and related factors Please download questions and type answers being sure to cite references. • Define COPD and describe the three major disorder groups including symptoms and diagnostic signs. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a group of lung diseases that are characterized by constant obstructed airflow through the lungs and airways. The three disorder groups are: 1. Chronic bronchitis: this is when there is "persistent inflammation and excessive secretions of…

set of for this experiment included filling a 500 ml beaker as well as a 10 ml test tube with water. the second step was to invert the test tube placing it in the beaker without allowing oxygen to enter the test tube. A piece of glass tubing connected to a rubber tube and stopper was then placed in the beaker. The side of the glass tube not attached to the rubber tube is placed under the open end of the test tube. Next 10 ml of the 0.8% concentration of substrate solution was added to 10 ml of…

The sphygmomanometer is used to read our blood pressure. Many of us are aware of this medical machine because we get our blood pressure checked at the doctor’s office. This is important to us because it can let us know of any heart complications such as high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, or kidney disease. All of these are preventable if caught in time with a doctor’s supervision and medication. Although many of us have seen this device there is a process to using this medical…

knowing that no one came with me. The waves hit over and over reiteratively until conclusively it stopped. I didn’t realize that it had bigger waves than any other parks I have been to. After it calmed I grabbed a tube to sit on. The little waves started to come so I started to push the tube back toward the shore… CRASH. It was my birthday, so I decided to go to Ocean Breeze. Most of the day I stayed with my friend Ryan and his sister Trinity.We went on a great deal of rides from there…

it works very similar to Pyxis machine, which is unit dose medication dispensing machine to prevent medication errors. There is another point that you share with us that surprised me, in the Essentia Health Hospital in Virginia there is no pneumatic tube system, which is used in most hospitals in Twin Cities area. Based on my working experience at Fairview hospital and my IPPE experience…
