Essays on Plate

Cell culture is an in-vitro technique of cultivating cells under controlled conditions and in sterile conditions. The technique was first developed by Ross Harrison in 1907. During the process of cell culture, the cells are detached from their tissue of origin and segregated from each other, either by mechanical or enzymatic means. The detached cells are then transferred before culturing them in cell culture plate or flask. The first generation of producing cell through this method is called primary cell culture. The cells from the primary culture are transferred to a new culture plate with a fresh medium to ...

Introduction to the Health Issue

One of the notable health issues that remain relevant in the health system today is childhood obesity affecting children between the ages of 2 and 19 years. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2016), the total population of children experiencing obesity has more than tripled since the 1970s within the American society. Currently, one out of every five children aged between 6 years and 19 years suffers from obesity (as highlighted in figure 1) (Bariatric Surgery Source, 2016). Obesity results from a situation where the body has excess fat that it is not able to ...

The theory of continental drift assumes that the earth is composed of one continent for billions of years. It slowly drifted apart to form the seven continents which could be recognized in the modern times. The drifting of the continents is mainly due to the lighter rocks at the surface which is influenced or moved by the heavier rocks beneath. On the other hand, the plate-tectonics theory assumes that the earth is composed of plates or slabs which are shifting or moving away or towards each other. The movements of the plate depend on the condition and chemistry of ...

1. Exercising regularly is good for health. However, one should not be erratic about it i.e. one should have a plan and stick to it. Fitness also includes the food intake. One should have a balanced diet that gives all nutrients in the correct proportion. Exercise and food together lead to a healthy body. At times an overweight person will not be prepared to expose himself to others in a fitness centre. However, one should realise that it is to change this very situation that one need to keep oneself fit. As a result, one becomes more confident about ...

Around the world, there are roughly 1500 potential active volcanos. Most of these volcanoes are around the Pacific Rim also referred to as ‘Ring of Fire.'

Volcanic ash has minerals within it when incorporated into the soil; it adds nutrients.

Volcanic mountain slopes are steep in nature. It makes it inaccessible to both animals and human beings. It provides habitat for rare plant and animal species away from human manipulation. Gases that erupt from volcanoes provide water and atmosphere. Regardless of the slow processes involves I making them it is significant over an extended period. Most volcanoes exist on the brink of tectonic plates. Amongst the tectonic plates, the largest is the Pacific ...

It’s a bright and warm Sunday morning, and as I jog along the park's walking trail, my mind is busy with thoughts of mouth-watering sizzling steak on the grill. They say that, “Exercise helps reduce food cravings,” but that doesn’t work for me. The more I exercise, the more it triggers my appetite and the sheer thought of marvelous succulent, savory steak fueled my cravings. Sundays always give me the blues as it brings back memories of my dear Grandma who cooks the best Salisbury steak that were so good- to- the- last- bite. I grew up ...

Literature Review

Impact Mitigation

Intelligent locomotive bumper designs have been touted as possible life-savers for pedestrians. Paden, Kelly, Hines, Botham and Simms explored the feasibility of a life-saving locomotive bumper (103). There were several motivations behind their paper. Perhaps the most important one was the high number of pedestrians that were killed every year in train impacts. Between the years 2007 and 2012, about 10,950 non-suicide deaths were attributed to train impact on humans. Including suicide deaths on railroads, 28,800 pedestrians were killed during that 6-year period. Also, Paden et al., noted that passenger trains served densely populated areas ( ...

Part 1

Question 1 Tectonic plate motion refers to the movement of continental and oceanic plates from one place to another due to the effect of forces that generally act on these plates. These movements cause some effects to the surrounding environment and even to the earth surface in general. A scientist by the name of Wegner had earlier on formulated a theory that instituted some of the facts and evidence backing this presence of continental drift that had happened some time back in history (Runcorn, 2013). Furthermore, the critical evidence in support of continental drift is the jigsaw fitness of ...

Hawai'i was the 50th state to join the USA. It comprises 132 islands and is said to be the home of volcanic islands. These islands reside in the Central Pacific Ocean. Moana Loa is one of the top most active volcanoes that had formed the island of Hawaii in the ocean (Networks, 2016). The movement of plate tectonics has resulted in the volcanic eruption and, however, the volcano towering and presence of valleys had a significant impact on the economic value.

Thin Layer Chromatography of Amino Acids

Introduction The technique used for this experiment was thin layer chromatography (TLC). TLC is used to separate components of a mixture (Clark, 2016). The purpose of this experiment was to identify an unknown amino acid. The components will have different affinities to the stationary and mobile phases. The various components will travel at different rates based on their affinity to either the mobile or stationary phase (Clark). A polar stationary phase is used in TLC experiments and the mobile phase can be a combination of solvents or just one solvent (psu.edu, n.d.). TLC can also be used to monitor ...

California’s “third city” San Diego is oftentimes forgotten between San Francisco’s foggy weather, Golden Gate Bridge and tech industry connections; and Los Angeles’ sports teams, movie stars, and of course, Hollywood. To be sure, what San Diego is popularly known for, namely its beaches, its great weather, and its zoo, are hardly the attractions that provoke excitement and “must go” desire. Rather, the city’s attractions they seem to focus on rest and relaxation. Indeed, that is probably why San Diego is one of the top cities in the nation for conferences and conventions. Indeed, one of ...

Apart from green packaging, other factors that are considered in packaging industry include cost, volume, and time. The ...

Autobiographical Essay

The most interesting and engaging stories in our life do not necessarily have to do with the principal milestones. One gets invaluable experience and life lessons in the course of daily life and sometimes a usual day can leave unforgettable impressions in mind forever. Growing-up and gradual moving into adulthood includes a lot of transformations and changes in our mindset, attitudes and way of thinking. Life lessons are quite bitter and in some situations I have felt really uncomfortable, ashamed, awkward and even miserable, but this is the way wisdom and endurance come into our life. Nobody is excellent ...

Overview: Overview: Antigen-antibody reactions are commonly used in immunological assays. In a traditional agglutination assay, the end product is a visible antibody-antigen complex that settles as visible particulate matter in the solution. In other cases, the reaction is invisible and wants the use of a specific enzyme or isotopic probes that can amplify the signal created by the antigen-antibody reaction, so that they can be detected with the naked eye or an ELISA/RIA reader1. Hemagglutination is a visible antigen -antibody assay in which soluble antibodies react with antigen on the surface of (red blood cell) RBC to form a ...

Advantages and disadvantages of having a circumcision

Various persons and groups have advocated for and against circumcision, often citing various advantages or disadvantages to back up their respective positions. Some advantages according to Elist (2013a), the National Health Service (NHS) (2016) and Webmd (2014) include the reduced risk of developing urinary tract infections (UTIs), sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) especially HIV, cancer of the penis and cervical cancer in female partners. It also acts as prophylaxis against balanitis, balanoposthitis phimosis and paraphimosis as well as facilitates the maintenance of penis hygiene (Elist, 2013b; NHS, 2016; Webmd, 2014; Wiswell, 1997). Disadvantages of the procedure include complications which may ...

A section of psychologists holds preposterous assertions of having first-hand evidence on extra-sensory perception, for instance, dreaming about something that actually happens later and foreseeing the future through mind reading (Plate & Joyce, 2013).The ideology of extra sensory perception was prompted by J. Rhine, a psychologist at the Duke University, by denoting physic abilities that include telepathy and clairvoyance. He elaborates the perception’s trans-temporal operation as being precognition or retrocognition in nature. However, most psychologists have refuted these claims asserting that the concept cannot be tested in the realm of science. Ingrained in a series of retrospective experiments ...

At one point, different concepts and theories of the natural science meet at an explanation of phenomena in a manner that most scientists may not imagine. Such is the relationship between geology and physics. Geology, definitively, is the study of the composition and elements of earth. In an advanced understanding, geology defines the different aspects of the universe such as rocks and the processes by which they change. On the other hand, physics is the branch of natural science that details the understanding of matter force, energy and matter with their movement through time and space (Anand, 2002). With ...

A General Outlook on Meiosis and Mitosis Processes

Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis. Think phases, starting and ending products, chromosome numbers, the purpose of each, and the cell types that complete each type of division. Be sure to do a DIRECT compare and contrast, and write in paragraph form - Mitosis involves one cellular division resulting in identical daughter cells while meiosis involves two cellular divisions resulting in different daughter cells. Meiosis produces four haploid cells while mitosis produces two diploid cells- this ensures genetic diversity by sexual reproduction in meiosis and cellular reproduction and production of general growth products in mitosis. The chromosome number also ...

Radiology, without which it is impossible to imagine modern medicine, was born with the discovery of the penetrating radiation made by German physicist Roentgen. This industry has largely contributed to the development of medical diagnostics. As any other industry, its development was revolutionary and has been infuenced by modern technologies. Today, X-ray diagnostics gets a new development. Using age-old experience of traditional radiographic techniques and armed with new digital technologies, X-ray diagnostics is still a leader in diagnostic medicine. In 1894 German physicist Roentgen (1845 - 1923) launched an experimental study of electrical discharges in the glass vacuum tubes. ...

Urban Environmental Issues

The current urban growth happening is really harming mother earth. This is because there is a shift in local climate in urban cities. This is normally referred to as the effect of urban heat island. Most urban cities are normally warmer than non-urban cities. These temperature changes are normally responsible for the crumble of many coastal forests. Another harmful effect is that there is a dense population of people in urban cities. This leads to exhaustion of resources due the increased needs of people. There is also the decline of biodiversity, land disturbance and a lot of environmental pollution. ...

1.0 Tectonic Setting of South China Hong Kong, which is located near the southeastern margin of the Eurasian Continental Plate (ECP), called the Cathaysia Block, in Southeast China, rests on a stable intraplate region of the ECP some 700 km from its nearest plate boundary, an area that underlies Taiwan and trends southward to the Philippines and northeastward to Japan (Pappin, Koo, Free, & Tsang, 2008). Although stable, this continental intraplate region has been associated with earthquakes in the past as it straddles the northeast-trending Lianhuashan Fault Zone. There are two major fault zones, which trends in the regional northeast ...

Photographing food is a major business, and is not as simple as snapping a photograph of the food delivered to you at a restaurant. More specifically, “food styling” is the process of dressing up a plate to look more appetizing and photograph in a more appealing way. When looking at the food styling photography used to market foods from low, middle, and high end restaurants, it is interesting to see how the images differ, as they relate to the foods presented in the restaurant setting, and how each are used, visually, to demonstrate different aspects of our larger food ...

Use of Fossil Fuels for Power Generation and the Need for Renewable Energy

According to Nelson (2011), more than 85% of the world’s energy consumption, which is estimated at 520 exajoules, is generated through the burning of fossil fuels such as petroleum, natural gas and coal (p.19). Electric power generation from non-renewable sources will, unequivocally, result in their exhaustion and creation of a major energy crisis. For this reason, it appears primordial to shift in a greater scale to alternate power generation, such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, etc. Amongst these, Sorensen (2011) explains that though hydroelectric power does represent one of the major forms of power generation, its growth is stagnant ...

The continental plate in the eastern part of Asia is composed of various volcanoes and tectonic movements. Most of the volcanic rocks in this region are composed of alkali basalts with signs of continental contamination. There are various models that explain the region’s magmatic evolution. The two most common models used to explain the movements refers to the surficial processes and the other one refers to the deeper processes associated with the Pacific ocean plate. These two processes are antithetic and may hay happen subsequently. The volcanism can be traced by tomographic imaging that can be directly associated ...

The Lip-plate culture expresses high levels of maturity among women (Mursi Online, par 2). In particular, the Lip-plate is a sign that a woman can give birth. Furthermore, the Lip-plate ensures that a woman is not mistaken as a member of another neighboring tribe. A western view would lead to an assumption that the Lip-plate is a form of body mutilation that affects women. However, the Lip-plate is a body art that is ...

Abstract

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are a type of motors that have permanent magnets mounted on the rotors instead of the rotor windings. This particular design gives the motor a few advantages over ordinary induction synchronous motors. The magnets attached to the rotor do not require excitation, which reduces the power consumption in PMSM. This gives the motor high operational efficiency and reduces the motor active diameter. PMSM are therefore associated with applications that require high torque but have limited operation space. The permanent magnets suffer from flux leakage and are therefore aligned in a pattern that minimizes flux ...

An earthquake is any seismic event that causes seismic waves. These can be caused by human activity or natural causes. For example, fracking often causes earthquakes which are human caused. Earthquakes often shake or displace the ground or surface of the earth near the epicenter and if the displaced earth is under the ocean, it will usually cause a tsunami. Most earthquakes are caused by geological faults but they can also be caused by landslides, mine blasting, and volcanic activity. Earthquakes are measured by overserving seismometers that are set up across the globe in strategic places for ...

Thermal conductivity is defined as a material’s property to conduct heat. Heat transfer across materials occurs in materials that have lower thermal conductivity and transfers faster in materials with high conductivity. It is important to determine the thermal conductivity of materials since different materials are used for different applications. For instance, materials with high conductivity are more efficient when they are used as heat sinks since they can conduct heat away faster. Those with lower thermal conductivity are often used as insulators (Callister 78). The classical transfer of energy happens through conduction, radiation, convection or combination of all ...

Background

This case examines the political reasons and bargaining that goes into a decision to build a prison. There are many factors that go into play before the decision is made and many are political because of the money and employment capabilities that prisons bring to the community.

Key Issues

One of the issues is the logistics of the facility. The original plans called for the building on a federally protected watershed. The need though was multifold for the economic boast that a prison would bring to this rural area. So attempts to redistrict this area would be possible.

The numbers of women in prison were growing and in the state the other prisons were overcrowded.
