of hard to believe that something so small could hold such a special place in my heart. When I was a sophomore in highschool my grandfather passed away. He practically raised my cousins and I. We were extremely close. After his death my mom went through his stuff with my grandmother, and they found an old work ID. They decided I should have it. The top of the ID reads “The West indies Sugar CO. LTD Frome”. Before coming to the United States my Grandfather worked at a sugar cane factory. I…
magnifying glass and roast all those ants alive. One, two, three...how long would it take to rid the world of all those ants? How many magnifying glasses would you need? “Mr. Pierce?” “I heard you the first time...and it’s Daniel” Out of the corner of his eye, Daniel watched as the seventy-something-year-old man squirmed in his seat. Everyone did that around him lately. Dr. Randolf tightened his grip on the clipboard, fiddled with his green pen, and flashed a relaxed smile. “We only have an…
I sat in the dim lit laboratory waiting for the computer monitor to display the chromatogram of the sample that I had injected into the High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). I knew the peak chromatogram should come at the thirteenth minute, and if it did, the ophthalmic formulation which had become an axial part of my life over the past many months will have an added chance to become a drug product of the future. Or of course, I might just get a flat line or a confusing mix of…
of preventable blindness in the world. Trachoma is an ocular infection caused by intercellular parasite Chlamydia trachomatis. It thrives in dirty atmospheres with close proximities since the disease is spread by contact of infected eye and nose discharge through hands, towels and flies. Most of the risk factors include poor hygiene or lack of facial cleanliness, poor access to clean water or water storages, overcrowded households or lack of latrines, and an inadequate sanitation or plethora…
Manisha where do I began? I suppose I’m sorry is where to start. I am so sorry. Since, I don’t have your number I do not know how to contact you because you seem not to speak to me in person. I said a lot of things last year, I made a lot of mistakes and in the end, it was down to me being weak, alone, scared and hopeless... I blame myself for every moment that caused you pain. For this, I'm truly sorry... I know I've said that word a thousand times but out of everyone in this life that I've…
natural light ash brown hair delicately landed on mid neck, but the three bangs laid on his forehead; it color was different, it was blue serene sea color with bright white highlight that look like spot of an animal coat. His mid light brown eyes gaze at the sculptures softly with the look of devotion but also a sadness in the…
The way you see things is divided into three different stages: early vision, middle vision, and high vision. Early vision determines the basic components of how an image looks, it's like a first impression. Then middle vision combines all the components/features that you notice in the image, into recognizable object groupings. This is useful when you need to classify the object you're seeing with your memories/prior experiences/knowledge. And higher-level vision is useful when the object has…
other, we could not say for certain that they are staring at the pattern, size, or color. d) For these experiments, a modern eye tracking device will be used. Eye trackers can follow the gaze direction and eye movement of participants and this will work well in following the direction that the infants are looking and enable us to determine which pattern the infants look at (Eye Tracking). e) The participants will be randomly assigned into 4 different groups. Each group will see either the…
Maybe it was the box in front of the house with large red, runny, letters proclaiming me to enter. Or maybe it was the blue door, that looked far too new to be attached to this house. It could have been the crumbling brick that made up the entirety of the house, or the crumbling bricks that sat outside the small building. It called to me, pushed me to it’s bidding, begging me to enter. It probably hadn’t been the best idea to enter, in hindsight, I could have made a much better decision. This…
We followed a few of the people that had come out of the eye and asked them if they had seen Salim, but Kat and I had no luck. “Where could he have gone” Kat said. “I don’t know but we have to find him.” However, at that moment I saw a 10 foot tall skinny man in a suit, but it was more of a monster. Also, it’s skin was space black and it’s face was flat. I pointed to it and Kat look and her eyes went wide. “What is that thing?” said Kat. When I finally had the courage to look away from it I…
