Group 1 elements are referred to as alkali metals because they form oxides and hydroxides that dissolve in water producing alkaline solutions. They have one electron in their outer shell that they lose by oxidation to form ions; Na Na+ + e- that is more stable (Schwerdtfeger et al. 7520). As one move down the group 1, the elements atom gets larger as the outer shell electron get easily lost and its radius is governed by the number of layers of electrons around a nucleus and the pull of outer electrons feel from the nucleus, therefore group one element get more ...

Micronutrient and fast food

Meals that are commonly consumed at fast food restaurants are highly processed and high in fat content and calories. One such example of a fast food item is the Big Mac at the McDonald’s restaurant. It provides 540 calories and contains 32 gm of fat. However, this does not include the often included fries/chips and drink that are eaten as well with the meal. It is often times seen that the one such meal can actually provide calories and other macronutrients sufficient for the entire day.

Micronutrients are nutrients that are required for proper physiological function in human ...

This electronic poster presentation covers the psychiatric diagnosis of agoraphobia and the role of advanced practice nurses in minimizing morbidity and optimizing functionality among patients. Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by the fear of certain environments that make the patient panic (Wittchen et al., 2010). The etiology of agoraphobia centers on difficulties with spatial orientation. People with agoraphobia depend on their visual system for orientation rather than a balance between the vestibular system and visual system. Reliance on the visual system causes disorientation in open places, closed places and crowded spaces where visual cues are sparse, limited and overwhelming ...

Introduction

Marfan syndrome is named after the French paediatrician Antoine Marfan, who first described the condition in 1896 after observing the outstanding features in a five-year-old girl. The gene linked to the disease was first identified by Francesco Ramirez at the Mount Sinai Medical Centre in New York City in 1991 (Katarina et al, 1990). Marfan syndrome is an inherited disorder that harms the body’s connective tissue such as blood vessels and capillaries. This tissue holds all the body’s cells, organs and tissue collectively. It as well plays an important role in allowance of the development of the human ...

Introduction

Spinal hydatid disease is a rare form of hydatid disease caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus (Baysefer et al., 297). Dogs are primarily the definitive hosts of E. granulosus with man and sheep serving as intermediary hosts. Hence, the disease is prevalent in sheep-rearing communities (Emara & Elhameed, 12). Hydatid disease in man begins with ingestion of ova-contaminated water or food. The egg hatches in the intestines and the larvae migrate into the lungs and liver via the portal venous system. According to Prabhakar et al. (426), osseous hydatid disease is a rare secondary disease with an incidence of 0.5-2%. ...

DISCUSS THE ROLE OF ION CURRENTS IN DETERMINING THE SHAPE AND DURATION OF CARDIAC ACTION POTENTIAL

Introduction Selective permeability to various ions is an important characteristic of cell membranes, one that determines myriad cellular functions. In animal cells, ion permeability and the electrical potential generated thereof determines the activity of neurons, myocytes and the like. The electrical potential depends on the concentration of the ions inside and outside any given cell, the permeability of the cell membrane to the ions and the ion channels that are present on the surface of the cell. Cardiac cells also possess different ion channels on their surface. These determine the two types of electrical potentials, namely, resting membrane ...

- Summary After a heart attack, the restoration of the cardiac function depends on the ability of the heart to generate cardiomyocytes, or new muscle cells. The ability is, however, weak and wanes with age. The alternative strategy involves delivering the newly grown cardiomyocytes to the damaged heart tissue. It requires the use of either induced pluripotent stem (iPS) or the embryonic stem (ES) cells. Embryos are the only sources of ES cells. On the other hand, the in vitro reprogramming of adult differentiated cells transforms them into undifferentiated stem cells. The method allows the production of iPS cells ...

When taking the first steps towards learning to read, one should excel in two primary kinds of processes: the lexical processes, which will be further discussed in this presentation, and comprehension processes.

The Lexical Process

When trying to identify words and letters and then retrieve them back from our memory, which is what lexical process is all about, the eye-movement fixations provide a great way for further insight. According to Pollastek and Rayner (1989), our eyes make rapid movements, instead of going along each line and page. We could say that our eyes take quick snapshots of each content we read and stay ...

Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 2 or otherwise known as “HIV-2” has been identified as the second type of HIV disease that was discovered in 1986 in West Africa, from an isolated case of AIDS afflicted patients in the area. Studies revealed that there has been scant literature written about the natural history of HIV-2. However, present research has shown that HIV-1 and HIV-2 have some similarities and differences since they hold similar modes of transmission of the virus. However, it appears that the immunodeficiency of patients who are infected with HIV-2 develop slowly than HIV-1 and ...

Introduction

End-of-life care dilemmas have in recent years become a major cause of concern for nurses and other physicians. With the emergence of modern technology that can help sustain life even at the point where there is little hope, life-sustaining measures such as resuscitation and feeding tubes have been applied to help prolong the lives of the patient at this stage (Meisel et al., 2000). However, the decisions on the use or application of these life-sustaining measures are solely dependent on the patient's preferences or those of their family. This is coupled with the guided decision-making process between the nurse and ...

1. The title of the article is "Is Noise Always Bad? Exploring the Effects of Ambient Noise on Creative Cognition". The purpose of this research is to determine the effects of low, moderate, and high noise levels on creativity within a consumer context. The authors of the study propose that low- and moderate-levels of noise enhance abstract thinking processes in creative individuals. The researchers also propose a mechanism called processing difficulty -- or "disfluency" -- which causes a higher "construal level" that, in turn, causes individuals to engage in more abstract thinking. Furthermore, individuals who are more-predisposed to being creative, the researchers ...

Introduction

Capsular polysaccharides are of high molecular mass and low molecular weight cell-surface polysaccharides of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Wang et al. 2000). They facilitate evading the immune system; therefore, the production and extraction of this layer is a prospective therapeutic target (rcsb.org). In the Gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae, strain TIGR4 the Cps4B is tyrosine protein phosphatase CpsB. The phosphatases have capability to dephosphorylate their analogous autokinases, instead of their similar functionality equivalence; they don’t demonstrate sequence homology. This capsule or CPS act as an interface border between a microbe and its environment that presents an expansive biological and clinical significance. ...

The chicken limb (wings) develops and buds out from the lateral plate mesoderm at typical locations along the sides of the embryo. These limbs grow with regional specification that includes distinct anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral pattern. The limb buds out because of the interaction between the mesenchyme and apical ectodermal ridge (AER). The signals sent from the AER maintain the progress zone in the mesenchymal layer. The progress zone has cell in highly proliferative and undifferentiated state. This knowledge can be used to produce higher number of chicken wings from fewer chickens.

There are certain compounds that are known to ...

How much influence should the committee have in the overall management structure?

Organization structure set the functions, culture, relationship and responsibility of every department and workers in the organization. Therefore, the committee influence should be restricted to the mandate and jurisdiction of the department. Since, the structure set the functions and the role of the committee; the committee influence should be felt on its functions and the role it is supposed to accomplish. As such, the committee should do its work and hand over to the product of its work to the overall management (Loucks et al., 2011).

The $9.9 million reduction in budget allocation makes one of the things that caught me by surprise. A closer analysis of the budget reveals that security/counter-terrorism grants have reduced dramatically from the 2013 values. The other most surprising thing is that the budget for communication was also reduced in 2014. Common knowledge would suggest an increased funding in communications and counter-terrorism programs. The capital program also surprised me since the department seems to have an elaborate ten-year plan that underfunded. Further, I was surprised to note that administration of the police department increased in budget allocation. The budget shows a ...

1. Examine the inequalities of health care in Canada.

Health disparities have been reported in Canada for almost 40 years, particularly among people of low socioeconomic status, Aboriginal identity, female gender, and who live in rural or remote communities (Touhy et al., 2012). “People who are part of a visible minority tend to be economically disadvantaged with blacks and Aboriginals faring worse” (Touhy, et al., 2012, p.52). Little has been done to enhance their access to health services. Aboriginal people have limited access to doctors and dentists even though they have more health care needs than non-Aboriginal Canadians (Fred, 2009). For example, the life expectancy of Aboriginals is ...
