Brain-Controlling Sound Waves Used to Steer Genetically Modified Worms by Shelly Fan, by using pulses of ultrasound and microbubbles with some nematode worms, a group of scientists at the Salk Institute in California were able control the worms into moving certain directions or in certain patterns. The process was non-invasive and could lead to many new ways to control even a human brain in the future. Since the success with the worms, it was experimented on other animals but they lacked TRP-4…
all started when Mr. Dejong assigned the homework where you had to catch worms yourself and go fishing with the worms that you caught. It was the perfect day to go fishing, and it just rained so I decided to go worm catching so I did. As I went outside I started to dig a flower bed as my mom instructed me to. As soon as I found rich soil, I started to dig. I found one worm, then another, and another soon I had about 14 worms! When I went back inside to tell my mom and dad, my dad said “I’ll…
pace, and he was almost at the door when he saw a worm five feet from his feet and getting closer every second. Mr. Malo crawled towards his front door with a renewed vigor, but he knew that he would not make it in time. The worm would sink its teeth into his ankle, and feed its hunger for blood on him as his kids stood by watching. As the worm lunged to grab Mr. Malo’s ankle, his wife appeared from nowhere and hit the worm with a chair. The worm flew away from Mr. Malo and slammed into the wall…
normal heart rate of the worms. The other control was a caffeine solution that served as our positive control. Our other solutions that we exposed the worms to consisted of increasing concentrations of two different NSAIDs (ibuprofen and aspirin). For each NSAID, we had a solution equivalent to the recommended dosage for a person based on body weight (the proportional dosage solution), ten times the concentration of this initial solution based on the body weight of the worm, and one-hundred…
behavior of the nematode worm, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. Elegans). Nematode worms are appropriate for sensory physiology studies because its neuronal wiring is similar to that of humans. We focused on the role of three sensory neurons in the nose of the nematode—the 1) AWA and 2) AWC neurons are involved in chemo-attraction and the 3) AWB neurons are involved in repulsion. With the use of RNA interference (RNAi), we diminished or eliminateed specialized proteins within the worms to test if…
suspend services to the Internet. Multiple bogus requests are sent to the server resulting in overloading the server and preventing legitimate usage (Taylor et al., 2011). A blended attack is an attack that involves a combination of attacks using worms, Trojan horse, virus, and other types of malware. The blended attack utilizes multiple payloads and targets that make up the virus programming (Taylor et al.,…
leading to the Phosphate binding to Calcium, which would have led to less availability of phosphate for the plant (Intelligently). Also this could happen since red wriggler worms are known to be found in manure and in the woods under leaves; they’re…
Grasshopper on the Road, is a book imagined by Arnold Lobel. This book is intended for children of young ages. However, this book has a deeper meaning. The main character, Grasshopper decides to embark on a journey down a long dusty road that goes up hills and down into valleys. Along the way, Grasshopper meets a series of different insects. The main purpose of the book is to teach children that change is good. Arnold Lobel tries to tell the reader that everything changes. Nothing can stop…
and intestinal worms can grow on any dog size, they are primarily a health problem for pups, whose growth increases the risk to more viral infections and gut problem. These cute little dogs get infected from several worm and parasites like hookworms, tapeworms and whipworms, which even results to poor health and sometimes death. It is necessary to use adequate resources in the form of wormouts for dogs that helps eliminate deadly parasites. Most efficient Wormouts for intestinal worms Wormouts…
the dawn of time. What we cannot comprehend drives us to tragic things to our relatives or the people around us. Helminths is a parasitic worm, which when mature can be seen with the naked eye. Pregnant younger are the ones to most likely be affected by helminths. The types of helminths are tapeworms (cestodes), roundworms (nematodes) and hookworm. These worms can only survive in certain types of weather…
