First, a confession: Prior to taking this class, I was not attentive with understanding the requirements, so I will not pretend otherwise. As a student who didn’t enroll in college until my mid-thirties for reasons besides desire or ability to learn, most classes I’ve taken thus far have been very interesting to me. This one I must say, had me challenged, but not in a way I enjoy. Within my professional development, I have worked in operations and logistics for nearly two decades, but lack…

It states that “Counting up all these points in the light curve, we saw at least 24 rings—though considering gaps in the data created by occasional poor observing conditions, we estimated that the system is more likely to have at least 100 rings” (Kenworthy). Sometimes with technology it is hard to know the exact…

study focuses on selection of different Low Impact Development (LID) design options that can attenuate flood flows in urban areas. Watershed considered for this study is Moores Run watershed (8.8 Km2) located in Baltimore, Maryland. A basin scale curve number based hydrologic model was developed in HEC-HMS with the aid of ArcGIS and HEC-GeoHMS. USGS 01585230 at Radecke Avenue gauge was used for the calibration of hydrologic model. Design storms with different return periods, developed by NOAA,…

Aromatic plants bear essential oils which are fragrant and so are named ‘Aromatic’. These plants retain their fragrant components in specialised cells and tissues of organs even after drying. Oil may be present in external glands as epidermal cells or their modification such as ‘Secretory Hair’ or may be present internally throughout the plant forming Schizogenous formation which on dissolution of surrounding cells forms Schizolysogenous gland which further grow into long canals. Secretion such…

cells. Expression and purification of TG2 is procedurally similar to hS100A7 and I am currently in the process of purifying the protein using FPLC under the supervision of Dr. Ruiz, as well as optimizing the purification protocol to obtain higher yields of protein in future purifications. My projects as a lab technician have given me the opportunity to participate in research that involves collaborations between different labs, as opposed to independent research in an academic setting like with…

In trying to plan a home garden it made me realize as to how much planning needs to go into it. One of the first steps that need to be taken is deciding how big of a garden you want as well as to how you will organize your plots.
