The Central Nervous System is the control system of the human body; it is the core of the human nervous system. The Central Nervous system is made up of the spinal cord and the brain. The brain uses the electrical signal, which is generated by the Central Nervous System. These electrical signals travel via the Peripheral Nervous System effector cells. These effector cells carry out physiological responses whenever the brain demands it. Axonal regeneration occurs successfully in the Peripheral Nervous System. However, regenerative axonal growth starts occurring in the Central Nervous System too, but stops two weeks after the ...

The regeneration of nerves throughout the human body has been a subject of much interest in biology recently. The unique characteristics of both the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) provide insights into the mechanisms occurring after once damage occurs. A good understanding of tThe differences between these mechanisms also may lead to new therapies for nerve-damaged patients, including stroke patients. Following injury, the nerves in the CNS of an adult mammal will not regenerate, while the PNS will. These differences appear in every stage of axon regeneration. Within hours of axotomy, the PNS begins ...

Bio fuel cells utilize biocatalysts for the conversion of chemical energy stored in glucose into electrical energy. Bio-catalyzed oxidation of glucose or other organic substances at two electrode interfaces provides a means for conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy. The obtainable power of a fuel cell (P cell) is the product of cell voltage (V cell) and the cell current (I cell)

The ideal voltage id affected by the difference in potential of the oxidizer and fuel as represented in the equation

Introduction

It has been known that all living things have electrical charges in their bodies. These electrical charges are distributed throughout the body of an organism. In the modern physiology, it has been found out that it is possible to measure the strength of charges in the body as well as their distribution. The human body is not exempted since it contains the electrical charges as well. In addition, a number of the modern equipment used in hospitals such electrocardiogram, electromyogram, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalogram all depend on the distribution of electrical charges in the body so as ...

The specter of Adolf Hitler has made the Second World War stand head and shoulders over what was originally known as the Great War. Oftentimes, casual students of history think of mustard gas, trench warfare and the odd grotesqueness of mounted cavalry meeting armored vehicles in combat and then mentally move on to the images of concentration camps and nuclear holocaust, which are the trademarks of World War II. However, Pat Barker’s Regeneration turns our attention back to the war waged by Kaiser Bill, starting with the open letter of Siegfried Sassoon, dated July of 1917. Its theme ...

Muscular dystrophy is an inherited disease where the different genes that control muscular function are defective (Emery, 2008). It has been found that many forms of dystrophy are caused by a deficiency in dystrophin, which is a muscle protein (Emery, 2008). This disease is not infectious and cannot be acquired from any activity. It is characterized by muscle weakness and wasting where the specific muscles affected vary for different types of dystrophy (Emery, 2008).

Among the various types of muscular dystrophy, the Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most prevalent, with an occurrence of twenty to thirty cases for every one thousand live male births (Brown, Miller & Eason, 2006). Another common type is the Becker muscular dystrophy, which is less severe than the Duchenne and occurs in three out of every one hundred thousand boys (Brown et al., 2006).

Analysis of a Quotation from T. S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land”

April is the cruelest month, breeding

Memory and desire, stirring

Dull roots with spring rain. Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow, feeding A little life with dried tubers. (Eliot)

T. S. Eliot’s renowned poem “The Waste Land” denotes his dissatisfaction with the state of modern life in general, a work that mirrors the degraded confusion of the WWI ravaged Europe. It utilizes the integration of mythology into his poetic expression, with numerous references, which result in a narrative that is almost lacking in coherence. His introductory lines offer a glimpse into his dark pessimism that colors the entire poem, ...

Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and further divide through the process of mitosis to produce more cells. Stem cells are found in multicellular organisms; however, in mammals there are two broad categories adult stem cells that are found in diverse tissues, and embryonic stem cells that are isolated from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst. Stem cells and progenitor cells act as a system that repairs the body in case it is injured as well as replenishing tissues (Humber 105). However, in the developing embryo stems cells differentiate into specialized cells ...

Water Contaminants from Pharmaceuticals and Chemical Industries

Abstract

In industrial processes, the generation of waste waters is unavoidable sometimes. It is therefore important to develop process for decontaminating this water. The treatment of toxic effluent that contains pharmaceutical and industrial chemicals cannot be satisfactorily attained through the use of conventional processes. Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) have been very vital and successful in their application to degrade these toxic compounds found in water. The high generation of extremely powerful oxidizing agent like the hydroxyl radical forms the back bone of the AOPs. This method is capable of destroying organic compounds until ...

Abstract:

Medicine and science had always maintained a steady flow of debates by the beginning of the 20th century with the ongoing increase of diseases, and virus mutations keeping up with the modern technology. Medicines had to be updated regularly to ensure that mutations would not influence a person’s sickness and overall health. It is common to see various medical procedures claiming that they can cure a disease or complication without the need to pay medicines regularly. One of these offerings is known as stem cell treatment, which uses stem cells to repair damage tissues or cure diseases. While ...

Dense rainforests have been disappearing at an alarming rate as human beings penetrate deep into the forests, clearing them so as to make room for their own activities. About 8000 years ago, this planet was covered by approximately 14.8 billion acres of forest, but unfortunately, currently the Earth consists of only 8.6 billion acres of forest remaining due to the extensive human exploitation (Jean 33).

Hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) exhibit genetic heterogeneity. Most of the HCC tumors are associated with activation of insulin/IGF-1/IRS-1/Ras/Raf/MAPK/Erk and a WNT/Frizzled receptors/β catenin signaling cascade which provides targets for therapy. All the pathways are mediated by genetic mutations and signaling compounds and the loss of regulatory proteins also contributes for tumor generation. Two signaling pathways are involved in the carcinogenesis which includes insulin/IGF 1/IRS 1/MAPK and Wnt/FZD/β catenin pathways. The insulin/IGF-1/IRS-1/MAPK cascade plays a crucial role in regulating regeneration of liver and embryonic development. The constitutive activation of these cascades which is due to IRS 1 over expression leads to ...

Artemis and the Sanctity of Balance

The Feminine Divine: Artemis and the Sanctity of Balance

Artemis is a divine representation of nature’s primal force and its capacity for self-preservation. Her archetype is, as Ginette Paris has said, connected to global ecology through the cycle of life and death, and of sacrifice in the sense that death itself plays a necessary role in maintaining the natural equilibrium (Paris, 2009). A feminist goddess, she is suppliant to women in childbirth in which she holds power over life and death. Through Artemis’ intervention, as Paris asserts, abortion becomes a sacred act ...

Introduction

The Egyptian Jewish community is comprised of two groups of people: indigenous Arabic-speaking Rabbanites and Karaites who have Judeo-Arabic culture, of which some claim to have had their residence in Egypt since the pre-Islamic era[ CITATION Emi00 \l 2057 ]. Most of them reside in Cairo's Jewish quarter, in the port district of Alexandria, and in several provincial towns[ CITATION Emi00 \l 2057 ]. The two groups dispersed to various nations for social and political reasons. This research paper will explore the dispersion of the Egyptian Jewry with emphasis on the factors that contributed to the dispersion.
