The pathophysiology of atherosclerosis involves a series of complex events that can be likened to that of a chronic inflammatory process, which results in the development of an atherosclerotic plaque. The first step in the process involves injury to the endothelial cells of the artery that results in endothelial cell dysfunction. The activated endothelial cells attract vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and leukocytes, which proliferate and accumulate in the walls of the artery (Seidman, Mitchell, & Stone, 2014). These cellular components lead to the formation of a large amount of connective tissue matrix. This is the ultimate end point in ...

Emancipation was not an easy time for Africans as they were still on the bottom line. The bad effects of emancipation were seen across different areas of the Caribbean, but the overall decline was seen in the plantation economy. Most of the ex-slaves left the estate and others settled as small farmers. The result was the labour shortage and increased labour costs that affected the sugar industry to shut down (Emmer, n.d.). The yearly sugar production got slumped by 36% and the biggest reason behind this was the increased cost of sugar production. Other reasons were competition in sugar ...

Lab Section_______________________ Teaching Assistant_________________ Professor_________________________ INTRODUCTION I. The foraging behavior of fruit flies is important to observe for a number of reasons. One of the reasons foraging behavior of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) is studied is to determine whether fruit flies are capable of learning, as well as the behavioral significance of a behavior, in terms of adaptation (Prokopy & Roitber 1984). Moreover, the foraging behavior of fruit flies reveals the behavior of so-called Rover flies versus Sitter flies. A rover fly expends more energy seeking food, whereas sitters expend less energy, but is more efficient, given low population ...

Introduction

Fruits flies or Drosophila melanogaster nourish on the fungi and bacteria present on rotting fruit. They have a unique capability of tracking food via remote chemoreception while flying and landing. Once they sense the smell of the food, they continue to hunt for it on the ground. This behavior is termed as foraging, and it is dependent on the process of chemoreception (Bateman, 1972). Flies possess chemoreceptors in the front pair of legs to sense such unique sensations, which facilitate them to discover or taste the substance ...

Philosophy questions

- With reference to Locke's theory regarding ideas as well to the idea of primary and secondary qualities, breakdown and explain in Locke’s own terms what exactly you are perceiving when you perceive an object that you would identify as “a yellow banana”. In other words, what exactly are the primary qualities of this object, and what are its secondary qualities?

A yellow banana would be identified according to Locke’s analogy using various steps. The idea that the object is a banana to start with, is derived from learning and after the individual has interacted with bananas ...

John Locke’s argument is based on refutation of the notion of existence of innate ideas in the human mind. He argues that all ideas existing in the human mind came about because of particular experiences and encounters. The concept of a yellow banana, if it was to be analyzed in terms of John Locke, would entail deep mental analysis and synthesis and prove that its inception is not as simple as it seems. We have to analyze the concept of a yellow banana in terms of its primary qualities and its secondary qualities. Primary qualities mainly entail the physical qualities ...

These contractors, then, turned to other rival contractors and subcontractors to complete the jobs. Since fast work was required and the products were anticipated, the contractors and subcontractors would “sweat” as much labor from their workers. Under this system, the ...
