Ultraviolet

aid in their research if they plan on comparing results of a protein to another or from one experiment to the next. There are many ways that we can discover the quantitative value of proteins through processes such as the Bradford assay and the ultraviolet absorption process. The spectrophotometer is a common device used in many of these processes making it a vital for experiments about proteins therefore we will focus on the function of a spectrophotometer and how it is used to determine the…

Brain cancer, or rather brain tumors, are not all the same. There are four separate classifications for identifying brain tumors. The first is Grade 1, which means the brain has harmless cancer cells, which grow slowly but are not affecting the brain abnormally. The second is Grade 2, which is more dangerous than Grade 1, but only slightly so. The cells in Grade 1 and 2 only look slightly different than the normal brain cells, but it is still possible to identify them. The third type is…

It then begins to start the early phases of nuclear fusion. The pressure that has now been created forces atoms of hydrogen to fuse together in nuclear reactions. The energy produced then gives off varying spectrums of light, such as infrared, ultraviolet, and visible light. The Sun also produces and gives off waves; theses consist of microwaves, radio waves and x-rays. One interesting phenomenon caused by the Sun is its solar winds. These winds are composed of energized particles that are…

Doctors recommend 5,000 IU of Vitamin D to achieve optimal health. At 5,000 IU, about 95% of the population will have all the health benefits of vitamin D. Vitamin D has two forms: Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3. We offer Vitamin D3, a natural, more effective form of vitamin D, also known as cholecalciferol. Vitamin D3 is more likely to be absorbed and more effective because it is chemically different from the form of vitamin D that is produced in our body and is more effectively transformed into…

directions and moves directly to its point of absorption at the speed of light. It doesn’t need an intervening medium to carry it. Thermal radiation extends wavelength from the longest infrared rays through appearable light spectrum to the shortest ultraviolet rays. The distribution and intensity of radiant energy within this range. It’s governed by the temperature of emitting surface. The Stefan-Boltzmann Law have the total heat absorbed by a surface, which is proportional to the 4th power of…

Unwrapping the Truth about Coconut Oil Saturated Fat; Five Reasons Why It Shouldn’t Have Been Unfairly Demonized It was just a generation ago when people believed that coconut oil should be blacklisted, because it was loaded with “heart-harming” saturated fats. It’s one of those that have high levels of “bad” fat with about 90% calories as saturated fatty acids. While coconut oil saturated fat was criticized by some biased yet highly influential scientists, new studies prove that we got it wrong…

include cancer. The skin is the largest and most visible organ of the body, and reflects the health of the body. It acts as a barrier to injury and bacteria. There are many different ways to treat skin disorders: such as creams, oral medications, ultraviolet light, and lasers. Dermatologist may also perform surgery to treat patients. For example, a dermatologist may have to remove a cancerous skin lesion, some do research to find cures for skin-related illnesses, such as malignant melanoma, a…

some extent while on Mars. There are two kinds of radiation that are damaging to humans: High energy electromagnetic radiation, and particle radiation. Electromagnetic radiation includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma-rays” (Manned or Unmanned?). There is a lot of radiation, which is dangerous to…

Have you ever sat down at the dinner table, and stared at the plate of seafood in front of you, and wondered about overfishing? Have you stared at the pencil or paper that you use in class, and thought about deforestation? Have you ever wondered if you could be a part of the next extinction because of that seafood or pencil? Darrin Bell, an editorial political and social cartoonist, thinks a lot about human effects on earth, and the possible repercussions. One of Darrin Bell's many comic…

The state of the environment and its declining health due to pollution has been an issue discussed and brought to the public’s attention on numerous platforms. The fear of losing a more comfortable lifestyle overrides the fear of permanently destroying the environment. People hear that the damage done to the environment is irreversible; however, taking away materialistic objects that appear to make life simpler is a risk most humans are willing to take. Little does the population realize that…
