The aim of the experiment is to plot the calibration curve for deteremination of antigen 4D5 by performing ELISA experiment. The primary antibody was blocked by bovine serum albumin, then it reacted with IgG (secondary antibody). Then, the system was washed with carbonate, blocking and substrate buffers. Three replicate experiments were performed, and the experiment was performed with the serial dilutions. By measuring the optical density of the diluted solutions, the calibration line was obtained and the region with the linear dependence “concentration – optical density” was determined. The callibaraion line can be used for the practical tasks: for detecting ...

Presentation of Problem

Smoking is a major concern in WSU. Currently, the institution’s smoking area is emitting so much smoke in the environment that in turn induces non-smokers to passive smoking (WSU, 2016). Passive smoking is involuntary smoking that occurs as a result of inhaling smoke from the cigarette tip and the one that is exhaled by an active smoker(s) (environmental tobacco smoke). Just like active smoking, passive smoking can have far-reaching consequences on the non-smoker’s health. For instance, both the smokers and non-smokers in the university are likely to be diagnosed with smoking-related illnesses such as lung cancer, ...

Recreational adolescent use of marijuana can result in adult cognitive problems including learning, thinking, and memory problems (Crean, Crane, & Mason, 2011). Marijuana, also known as cannabis, is known to humanity for thousands of years. It is obtained from the hemp plant, known as Cannabis sativa. Marijuana is one of the most popular, easily obtained drugs, and controversial drugs. It contains psychoactive chemicals such as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, which was obtained in the mid-1960s. This is the key chemical behind the development of controversies in this and the last century. Certain others aspects of the endocannabinoid system including cannabinoid ...

Summary: The interaction between the limbic system and the subcortical dopaminergic system, is important in the experience of reward by the individual. The hypothesis in the present study is that, increased excitability of the medial prefrontal cortex, exerts a suppressive effect on the interaction between subcortical dopaminergic system and the limbic striatum structures (Ferenczi et al.). Lack of a reward seeking behavior is seen in patients with depression and MRI studies in these subjects have identified increased excitability of the medial prefrontal cortex. This finding was suggested as a rationale for the study. The experiments were designed to demonstrate ...

This is a surgical operation in which a damaged or failing organ in human is removed and substituted with a functioning organ. The organ donated may be from a living or deceased donor. For these organs to match, certain tests must be conducted to evaluate donors i.e. the blood type, HLA testing, and cross-match. The first test in the process of living donation process is the blood test as it determines the compatibility of a match to the recipient (Gan, et al. 775). The organ transplant process consists of several steps. However, the steps are similar no matter the ...

In the case study examined, the patient was vomiting intermittently in postoperative care while receiving Morphine intravenously. The patient’s nurse Pamela is not responsible or trained for prescribing medication, so she decides to seek advice from a senior nurse. The senior nurse Jane orders Pamela to cease the Morphine administration and changes the protocol to 10mgs of Metoclopramide. While Pamela stops the Morphine administration, she refuses to administer Metoclopramide without a prescription. Despite the warnings against administering regulated medication, Jane proceeds to act on her decision and administers the Metoclopramide intravenously, which causes the patient to respond with an allergic ...

Introduction

Developing countries of the world today are facing unprecedented challenges in attaining sustainable development. Many developing countries are plagued by issues such as poverty, population growth, terrorism, dearth of qualified teaching staff, and territorial conflicts. To find a solution to this, many economists have devised various strategies both at the macroeconomic and microeconomic levels. Many people around the world will tell you that fossil fuel is Saudi Arabia’s greatest natural resource, but they are wrong because the children are the greatest resource. An excellent education of Saudi Arabian children is the key to ...

External organisational environment of New Zealand and its impact on the businesses of New Zealand in 2014

Introduction Since the past few years, increasing emphasize have been cast “on the importance of analyzing the relationship between the organization and its environment (Pfeffer, 1972).” Several researches have been made in order to understand how the external organizational environment, general environment and task environment affect business in a country. “Also known as the operating environment, external organizational environment refers to market conditions, economic and political issues on the local and national levels, demographic factors, and other forces outside of a business that affect the overall success of that business (‘External Environment’, n.d.).” On the other ...

ACT I

OPENING IMAGE – Shot of a rainy cityscape at night; a clock strikes midnight. Joey Amana walks out of the back door of an underground casino, hurriedly and with a stifled expression of panic in his face. He holds a briefcase, and stumbles toward a car on the far side of a parking lot. (Insert flashback scene of previously in the casino: text on the screen could read “5 Minutes Earlier” or its equivalent. Joey is confidently pulling in all the money he just won in front of some angry mobsters. He says he did not cheat, he just “knows how to play cards.” Voiceover ...

In Toni Morrisons’s Beloved the use of the phrase “This is not a story to pass on” in three different iterations is confusing, because if history and literature has emphasized anything it is “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Morrison is making sure the story is literally passed but the real meaning is deliberately ambiguous, having different meanings depending on how you read or analyze the novel. It could mean “this is an important story, do not pass on it”; or miss the experience of knowing it. It could also be saying that slavery ...

Hello President Fry,

Drexel Dining Centre is a facility that all the students of this prestigious university use at least twice every day, either during breakfast, lunch or dinner. All members of the university community spent sometimes in the centre as they take their meals. However, overcrowding has been the recent order in the facility. With the increase in the number of students enrolling into the school programmes, the space in the dining Centre has been greatly overpopulated during meal times. Crowding is characterised by the large queues in the Centre and standing students during eating time. The tiny hall houses ...

The importance of effective management of pain in the post-operative patient cannot be overemphasized. Its inadequate management can have profound adverse effects on patients such as sleep disturbances, mobilization difficulties, aggression, high levels of anxiety, and increased distress and suffering (Carr et al., 2005). Post-operative pain can also have unwanted physiological effects on patients and cause complications such as nausea, vomiting, paralytic ileus, and increases in blood pressure (Mackintosh, 2007). This paper will critic the pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions that were used in the management of post-operative pain (rated at 6/10 on the numeric scale) in a patient who is ...

Abstract

OPEC is an international cartel aimed at securing interests of the oil producing countries by restricting the oil production levels. The market structure of a cartel is similar to an oligopoly, the only difference being collusion between the dominant players. The paper attempts to understand these market structures, their welfare benefits and how the firms respond in certain situations. Game theory explains the incentive for firms to cheat in a cartel. The future strategy for OPEC is suggested based on synthesis of these concepts. It includes maintaining an active dialogue, designing a detailed disincentive plan and innovation.

Keywords: collusion, cartel, OPEC, oligopoly, ...

Daylight has been used for a long time as a source of light and energy. The science surrounding daylight has evolved over the years. Quite a number of people have ventured into discovering new ways of developing and producing light which could be used any time of the day or night in film and photography industries. Several activities and events take place during daylight. This is mainly because it is considered to be convenient and economical to work during the day than using artificial light. However, as time went by people came up with new methods of producing light which could be ...

Effects of colonialism on the development of Modern African States

Ramat-Gan (2011) advances that the advent of colonialism in Africa formed the basis of the economic underdevelopment that continues to plague the countries in the modern world. The introduction of colonialism is linked to the many problem associated with the atrocities that the colonial masters implicated on the poor civilian natives of the time. Duke (2010) observes that the colonialism in Africa took different phases and faces. While the British used the direct and indirect rule in some areas, the French adopted the assimilation policy. Whichever the method that the colonial masters had, one character trait that they shared ...
