Of all wars to have been conducted by the USA, the war on drugs is the least promising, with government and law enforcement agencies fighting it in a losing battle. When American authorities got it going some 4 decades ago, it was doomed to be a losing war for a number of reasons, of which one is a historic precedent never taken into consideration. It is well-documented that the only lesson we ever learn from history is that we do not learn any lessons from it at all. However, what America should learn is that conventional tools of mandatory bans and restrictions imposed ...

Weight loss among older citizens has traditionally been a cause of concern as it is often a symptom of ...

However, it is possible that hypertension is an incorrect diagnosis. Normal blood pressure should be bellow 120/80, but it is also considered that the blood pressure can deviate up to 140 mmHg systolic pressure and 90 mmHg diastolic reading. Because Mrs. Chang’s blood pressure reading is lower than 140/90, her case can be considered pre-hypertension at most (Cunha, 2010). Another possibility is that Mrs. Chang’s condition has changed since her last examination, but she could not have known that because she cannot remember her last examination. She currently appears to suffer from orthostatic hypotension rather than hypertension. ...

The personal ethical framework should reflect how you respond to other people. Undoubtedly, this should reflect your personal choices, culture, background and family. Ethical conflicts can cause quite a dilemma. When it comes to the workplace, a person should learn how to respect those around them, no matter how they are treated (Tabor 2916). This means that everyone should develop a form of tolerance, even for those who might seem like they do not have respect for anyone else. Before looking in to personal ethics involving other people, the consequences of certain actions should be determined. This means that a person’s moral ...

Full title- A COMPARISON OF THE INHIBITORY EFFECTS OF METAL IONS

Enzymes are an essential part for the functioning of the human system. Most of the enzymes require binding of metal ions and other non-protein components for their appropriate functioning. Such non proteins, which facilitate the functioning of enzymes, are called cofactors. The cofactors can be an organic cofactor as Thymine Pyrophosphate (TPP), Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide (FAD), Nicotinamide Adenine dinucleotide (NAD); or inorganic cofactors like metal ions, Mg2+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Zn2+ and Iron-sulphur clusters. When the enzyme is bound to a cofactor, ready to carry out its function, it is known as a ‘Holoenzyme.' An enzyme without a ...

OUTLINE

These slides attempt to estimate the extent of the problem, and point out that teenage alcohol use is probably half of what it was in 1975. It has been declining for twenty years, due in part to raising the drinking age and public education campaigns against drunk driving.

Some studies tend to overestimate this problem, which is actually a declining one.

One fairly recent estimate places the number of heavy drinkers in age 12-to-21 group at 2 million and the number of alcoholics at about 1.1 million, but these estimates vary widely by age, social class, ethnicity, location and how the questions are framed.

Almost certainly there are far more ...

The following part appraises several research reports that address the aforementioned problem.

The study by Mehta et al. (2013) clearly explains that surgical site infections increase the risk for postoperative morbidity and mortality, and increases healthcare costs. The study underscores the need to assess the patient’s subcutaneous fat layer to determine the risk. The ...

Many people around the world depend heavily on fish for food. This has led to ever-growing demand for fish and overfishing practices. In response, poor fisheries management has destroyed marine life (Carrier et al., 29). This is because the management put little measures and even leaves the sector unchecked leading to severe overfishing trends. Overfishing is the extent to which marine species are caught in a higher rate compared to their reproduction rate. Overfishing has become a major problem. It has raised various concerns about the future of marine life. Under the current trends of fishing, the world will be at ...

A Venturi meter is a flow measurement instrument with a constricted throat that increases velocity and decreases pressure (Voigt et al. 1991).

The Venturi meter has a converging throat, a cylindrical throat and a diverging recovering cone. It possesses no projections into the fluid; it has no sharp corners and no sudden changes in its contour. The converging section decreases the area of the fluid stream thereby causing ...
