Report On Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a long term chronic skin disease that causes the skin to grow quickly. It results in a thick, silvery white or red patch of skin. In a normal situation, the skin cells grow steadily and flake-off about every month, and as these old skins flakes off, new skins immediately starts the skin starts to grow. However, in the case of psoriasis the new skin will not wait for weeks before moving to the surface of the skin in just a couple of days. The skins grow very rapidly, and forms thick patches known as plaques. Their sizes range from large to ...

Objective

Purpose of this laboratory is to inspect the effect of precipitation hardening in Aluminum and steel alloys.
Theory
Hardness is a property of a material which delineates resistance to permanent or plastic deformation. For metals, hardness is generally defined as the resistance to indentation. One way to attain hardness is to look into the effect of precipitation hardening. This type of hardening helps to detain the yield strength in the material. There are four methods used to test hardness of a material: Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, and Knoop. The Rockwell hardness test measures the depth of indentation, while the other three ...

Considering the effects of cover crop and intercropping on garden settings

1. Introduction
1.1 Background
Sustainable agricultural production systems, otherwise known as agroecosystems, employ a variety of techniques to maintain environmental quality. Cover crops are one strategy used by growers to preserve and enhance soil resources because of their impacts on soil-nutrient dynamics (such as nitrogen and carbon fixation)and microbiological functions (Steenworth and Belina, 2008). Cover crops such as cereal grass, hairy vetch, and oilseed radish, manage problems in an agroecosystem such as soil quality, erosion and fertility, water quality, pests and weeds because they tend to be less resource intensive than other crops and instead contribute to ...

Abstract

Scientists have conducted multiple ab initio calculations to determine the infrared spectra and the array of complexes BrH: NH3, ClH: NH3 and FH: NH3. Additionally, the research incorporates investigating the effects of inert gasses’ atoms on the infrared spectra and arrangements. The scientists constructed a double dimension MP2/6-31+G (d, p) energy surface for complexes XH: NH3. The two-facet Schrodinger calculations were solved for the dimer and the proton stretching series. Most complexes have differing infrared spectra even though their equilibrium arrangements are characterized by traditional hydrogen bonds. The grounds (v=0) and (v=1) that are both found in FH.NH3 describe the ...

Dissolved Oxygen

INTRODUCTION
Dissolved oxygen is a useful parameter used to determine the level of effluent in waste water treatment. Living organisms in water bodies require oxygen to break down organic matter. These organisms consume the dissolved oxygen in water and give out carbon dioxide. Oxygen does not readily dissolve in water and gets depleted quickly by increased micro-organism activity. To maintain optimal oxygen levels in a water body, the oxygen replenishing rate from the air should be equal to dissolved oxygen use by micro-organism in the water. A curve drawn to represent dissolved oxygen levels down a stream from a point of effluent ...

Abstract

Medical reforms in the form of legislation have played a big role in bringing about parity in the health care sector.

The problem of adolescent depression is concerning as depression and suicide in adolescence is increasing rapidly even as better treatment and awareness has resulted in decreasing rates in adults (Gray, 2010). There are a number of reasons for this increase in youth. One reason for concern is that it can be difficult to determine when an adolescent is acting developmentally appropriately and when they are depressed. Adolescents are often moody, irritable, histrionic, reactionary and oppositional. These are also signs of depression so figuring out where the line between normal adolescent behavior and behavior that might indicate a problem is not easy ( ...

A stroke is a cerebrovascular event resulting in rapid functional cell death in local tissue. Strokes, also known as cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) are a major cause of disability globally (Doyle, Simon, & Stenzel-Poore, 2008) and occur due to a disturbance in the blood supply to the brain. This disturbance in cerebral blood flow commonly results in a period of ischemia, an interruption to the delivery of oxygen to the brain tissue. Focal ischemia due to occlusion of brain artery is the cause of more than 80 % of all strokes (Flynn, MacWalter, & Doney, 2008). The other major cause ...

Introduction

The null hypothesis for the experiment was that oxygen production is the same in both plants while the alternative hypothesis was that oxygen production and thus the rate of photosynthesis is higher in Ceratophyllum than in Cabomba due to its efficiency in carbon dioxide utilization (Kitaya, Murakami, & Takeuchi, 2003).

Materials and Methods

Experimental Design
The research question to be answered in the experiment was whether there is rate difference, in oxygen production, in oxygen production between Ceratophyllum and Cabomba. It was predicted that each of the plants would have different oxygen production rates. The dependent variable was the rate in oxygen ...

Introduction

In health care services, the nurse is the first person most patients meet when they come for treatment, and in many ways a nurse is the ‘gatekeeper’ of the access to medical services. However, for taking the correct decisions (in our profession it literally are life and death decisions), a nurse has to be equipped with the proper information regarding the patient. So proper information capturing is crucial phase in the treatment of a patient. This is where triage forms gain their significance. The Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of triage is – “the process of sorting of patients according to the ...

Antibiotic resistance occurs when there is a gain or change in the DNA of the bacterial organism. Most mechanisms of antibiotic resistance are associated with plasmid-mediated transfer of genetic information; using transposons facilitates the transfer of information, and in fact many common modes of resistance are associated with transposons such as beta – lactamases, tetracycline resistance and aminoglycoside resistance (Microbiology, 2007 pg. 64-65). Resistance is accomplished by one of three mechanisms (Microbiology, 2007 pg.65):
- Decreased uptake
- Alteration of target site: A change in the penicillin binding site of certain bacterial cell walls leads to less binding. ...

The lower parts of St. Johns River is an estuarine river that has salinity rivers fluctuating with changes in tides. The dark coloration of the rivers is due to the extremely high levels of tannins from decaying matter. Turbidity, the dark coloration and other matters prevent the penetration of light deep into the water. As such, the growth of submerged vegetation happens in the shallow regions of the river. The river is fed from tributaries some of which are salty, the Atlantic ocean, tributaries and human wastes from industries and treatment plants for waste water. The lab report presents ...
