1. Summarize Journal Articles The article “Florence Nightingale: Her Personality Type” by Dossey (2010) examines the famous nurse Florence Nightingale according to her personality type. Using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Dossey determines that Nightingale was an IITJ (introverted-intuitive-thinking-judging) personality. The author worked from a collection of Nightingale’s own written work and her letters, as well as her history. Dossey breaks Nightingale’s personality down into these four factors, using her life and work as a template to explain those personality traits. For instance, Nightingale is determined to be introverted due to her desire to be alone in ...

Drug metabolism is the enzymatic break down of drugs-a process that takes place in the liver. While drug metabolism can take place at the cellular level, the liver is the major site for this process due to its size-translating to a big supply of enzymes. Drug metabolism is classified as one of the liver’s processes to detoxify the body or get rid of foreign compounds (Law et al., 2014). When the drug reaches the target site and finished working, the remaining amounts may accumulate in the body to levels that may be poisonous or toxic. Drug components are ...

Q1. Explain the regulation of the cell cycle

Every cell is regulated by particular checkpoints to ensure that the daughter cells are exact duplications. This is to help guarantee that cell mutations are not passed on to the next generation of cells. In eukaryotic cells, there are three main checkpoints. These are points at which cell replication can be halted until certain conditions are met (Boundless, 2016). The first checkpoint is near the end of the G1 phase. It is here that DNA gets evaluated and checked for damage. If damage has occurred, it either gets corrected or gets prevented from moving on to the next phase ( ...

In this article, the author talks a lot about our bodies and how we digest food. He notes that the food labels we see on everyday food items are based on 19th-century laboratory experiments that weren’t able to include certain variables in their research. These variables included things such as the evolution of the food itself, the processing of the food such as cooking, and the amount of energy it takes for a particular person’s body to break it down. Some plants, for example, have evolved to become more appetizing to animals or to avoid digestion altogether ...

Stratospheric Ozone Depletion

Ozone depletion is a natural phenomenon of the earth’s stratosphere due to the presence of free radicals that are from natural causes such as volcanic activity. However, as man evolved, he discovered his environment and built industries during the industrial revolution. These industries emitted tones of pollutants into the atmosphere, including compounds Ozone Depleting Substances. The continuous use of CFCs also contributes to the effect significantly. The worst case of ozone depletion ever recorded happened in 2006, during winter and early spring in Antarctica. That sounded a loud alarm to environmental scientists, political leaders and civil organizations come ...

Stereotyping is the process by which an individual looks at another person or group of people and makes a snap judgement about their abilities, intelligence, behavior, or mannerisms as a result of their outward appearance. Stereotyping is often considered to be linked with negative perceptions about an individual’s race or gender, but in reality, stereotyping can be done about any group-- and stereotyping does not have to include a negative generalization. However, generalizing about a group in a positive manner can be just as harmful to a business environment as generalizing in a negative manner. In the text Ouch! That Stereotype Hurts, Alquilar (2006) discusses ...

- Explanations - Food miles and 100-mile diet A 100-mile diet refers to a diet that consists of foods raised and grown within 100 miles of a dinner table (Tancock). Usually, food travels some 1,500 miles before reaching the dinner table in North America (Tancock). The traveling miles are called “food miles” and affect the environment, quality of food and farming practices. Food miles increase carbon emissions through the numerous planes, boats, and trucks involved in the transport of food materials. In addition, food miles promote unsafe agricultural practices because the consumers are unlikely to visit the farms ...

Alcohol breakdown in the body system is unique when compared to other types of food, this is because alcohol can enter the digestive system directly without being altered by the body’s digestive system. In the blood stream alcohol is broken down by alcohol dehydrogenase, the amount of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) vary according to gender and ethnicity. Women’s body system produces less alcohol dehydrogenase when compared to men therefore people whose body system produces less ADH get tipsy with little amount of alcohol (Whitney, & Rolfes, 2011, p. 232).

The process of weathering deals with the breaking down of minerals, soils and rocks as well as synthetic materials as a result of contact with the atmosphere, biological entities and water. Weathering is slightly different from erosion, because it does not involve movement. Erosion involves the movement of water, wind, snow or other agents across minerals or rocks. Weathering simply takes place “in situ.” There are two significant types of weathering, chemical and physical. Each can involve a biological component, but the difference is that physical weathering has to do with soils and rocks breaking down as a result of directly contacting ...

There is no safer way in which plastic waste can be disposed. Plastic is the main lethal pollutant of the time, it account for 90% of solid waste. It is composed of a non biodegradable substance and toxic chemicals and it causes water and air pollution.

Plastics are dated back more than 100 years. The plastic industry began in 1868 and since then many new plastics have been introduced to ...

Langston Hughes short story “On The Road” is about a black man who travels across the country on railways. The story shares similarities of motion and travel that is found in Falkner’s short story “Barn Burning.” In “On the Road” we see a character interacting with other characters through the motion of travel. In “Barn Burning” the characters appear from a crowd, through a court system, which is endeavoring to discover who is to blame for it. Then the motion in “Barn Burning” continues to a wagon that moves across the country. In both story, and in the poems, “I, Too” and “The ...

A polymer is commonly defined as a combination of different compounds that in them have some structures that repeat themselves. The entire process that in the end leads to the development of a polymer is known as polymerization. In essence, it is used to refer to how the various parts are combined to form a polymer. Traditionally, more focus was given on the covalent bonds when linking the compounds of a polymer. This has, however, changed in the recent past, and non-covalent bonds have also been given some level of significance. Polymer is a term in reference to exceptionally large classes of the ...

I selected speed and accuracy as my topic because both abilities are critical in the majority of popular sports today and useful in many other movement-based skills. However, speed and accuracy often contradict each other, so it is hard to execute together. Most models and research papers consider those two abilities opposite and emphasizing one should result in trading off the other, and Fitts’ law explains that target size and movement distance are the factors responsible for that trade off. Although there are apparent tradeoffs between speed and accuracy, a better understanding of both abilities and how they can ...

Pyramid method was invented in the early 90’s. The pyramid shows ratios or proportions of food that a person was required to take in a day. The pyramid proposes for a high share of green vegetables just like other regional food guides. Hence its similarity but it differs with the other methods because it is a bit confusing. I wouldn’t follow the pyramid because it gives vague ratios to their food percentage it is hard to know if this is followed by everyone. The plate method is much simpler as it has individual assistance rather than blanket advice or direction. It ...

How do the physical and chemical characteristics of materials affect their movement, persistence, distribution, and fate in the environment?

The chemical and physical characteristics of certain materials play a major role in how they interact with the environment. Physical factors like the solubility of the material affect its movement. If a material is not soluble in water, it will not be dissolved by water in the environment and will therefore maintain its integrity. A substance which is soluble in water will move easily through the hydrological cycle. Hydrophilic substances have high rates of bidegradation, meaning they break down easily. Materials which are lipophilic are known to bioaccumulate more readily than lipophilic substances. The state of the material is also a factor ...
