Introduction

Freezing temperatures during winter months greatly contributes to hazardous conditions on American roadways. According to the Salt Institute (2012) 70% of roadways in the United States experience congestion due to winter weather. Icy roadways greatly contribute to hazardous winter conditions and can increase the chances of personal injury or accidental death for motorists. Currently, across the nation, icy roadways are addressed with the application of sodium chloride (salt) to deice icy roadways and to prevent the formation of ice on dry roadways.

The mechanism by which salt causes ice to melt and prevents ice from forming has been ...

DNA fingerprinting requires the use of certain methodologies and tools to ensure that the sequencing process of the DNA is accurate. DNA extraction is a critical step in DNA fingerprinting. To obtain the DNA, the source has to be living as I learned from the Utah site.

Certain additives are necessary in the extraction process. These include salt and alcohol. The salt helps the DNA to stick together while the alcohol is used for precipitating the DNA. The making of several images of the DNA requires the application of certain tools, which the Utah site provides a very good example. The ...

Question 1

Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control hypothesized that the salt intake of children is increasing their risk of developing hypertension, similar to that seen in adults (Park, 2012). The study included over six thousand children between the ages of eight and eighteen, a good sample size for statistical analysis. One potential drawback in the design of the study is that it only involved a detailed interview of the children and not an actual measurement of their daily salt intake. However, the results were clear. Children appear to be eating as much salt as an adult every day and the higher ...

1. Introduction Opioids such as codeine and morphine, are the active pharmaceutical ingredients of many drugs such as pain relievers (analgesics), cough suppressants, sedatives, etc. Opioids are derivatives of opium and bind to the μ-opioid receptor (μOR). The coupling of the μOR to Gi, the inhibitory subunit of the G-protein, blocks the activation of adenylyl cyclase and results in the analgesic effect. The opioid receptors belong to the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) superfamily and specifically to the rhodopsin-like family A. These receptors consist of two closely related members, namely, δOR and κOR (Manglik et al. 2012, p. 322). ...

Introduction

The kidneys refer to the organs that are involved with several important regulatory roles in vertebrate animals. Kidneys play a crucial role in the urinary system as well as in the homeostatic functions such as electrolyte regulation, maintaining a balance between the acids and bases, and in regulating blood pressure. Kidneys filter the blood removing wastes, which are then taken to the urinary bladder as urine. During urine production, wastes such as ammonia and urea are excreted while substances such as glucose, water and amino acids reabsorbed. The kidney is also responsible for the production of hormones such as erythropoietin and ...

According to Warrick (1993), global warming is the main contributor to the rise in global sea level since the Industrial Revolution. Human activities such as burning coal and oil and cutting down tropical forests increase atmospheric concentrations of heat-trapping gases. The three main factors leading to the rise in sea levels include: thermal expansion, ice loss from Greenland and West Antarctica and melting of glaciers and polar ice caps. Land ice, that is, glaciers, ice caps, and ice sheets, stores nearly two-thirds of the world’s freshwater and is shrinking in response to higher temperatures. Glaciers partially melt ...

Salmon Fish

The Atlantic salmon fishes are known for their strong, streamlined bodies and their ability to move through steep rivers in fresh and salt waters as their habitat (Jonsson and Jonsson 2). The term “Salmo” is a Latin term which means salmon that originated from the word “salar” which means to leap. The Atlantic salmon are anadromous which means that they spawn in freshwater and acquire most of their food while they explore the marine habitats (Jonsson and Jonsson 2). The management systems used for production of transgenic Atlantic salmon is similar as those that are being presently used for non-transgenic ...

The bony fish has several adaptive features that make it suited to its environment.

The most common shape of the bony fish is the roughly cylindrical form, which tapers at both the head and the tail. This shape allows for increased efficiency during swimming. Most species of bony fish have a form of pigmentation or the other. This pigmentation is an excellent way of camouflage the fish in its environment. The fins are another structure that aid, in no small way, in propelling the fish through water thereby bringing about movement from one place to another. Some of the fins are paired (the pelvic and pectoral fins), while the others are median ( ...
