Ashley Kupfner Three-Source Synthesis Paper 4/15/2015 World of GMOs While out shopping for food have you ever wondered what is in the food or what makes some foods cheaper? Genetically Modified Organisms, or GMOs, have created many opportunities to lower food prices, but how is this done? Many companies like Monsanto, Clange, Aventis, Dupont, and Syenta have overcome this strange feat to produce food with genes that are modified or engineered to improve production and/ or profit of the…

Synthesis of Literature Multiple steps were utilized in critically appraising research articles for this project in order to decipher if enough valid and reliable evidence was collected from the evidence search to make recommendations for an innovative project at LakeWood Health Center. These steps included searching for and analyzing articles for validity, reliability, and applicability utilizing a rapid critical appraisal checklist presented in Evidence Based Practice in Nursing &…

solution of ferric and ferricyanide ions. Another approach for the PB deposition is based on the chemical synthesis without the need for an electrochemical step. The chemical procedure can be performed in situ by different ways from the solutions of Fe2+ ions and [Fe(CN)6]3- ions [27], Fe3+ and [Fe(CN)6]4- [28,29], or from Fe3+ and [Fe(CN)6]3- [30–32] in the presence of H2O2 and pre-synthesis supported on a substrate followed by the entrapment inside the bulk of composite electrodes [33]. In the…

the reaction of benzil with ethanol and potassium benzilate. In order to produce benzil, benzoin was reacted with nitric acid. A crude product of benzil was produced from the reaction of benzoin and nitric acid. Through the process of multi-step synthesis, benzil was produced through the oxidation of an alpha-hydroxyketone to an alpha-diketone using nitric acid. Prior to the reaction of nitric acid and benzoin, nitric acid was protonated to form an oxonium ion. The hydroxyl group on benzoin acts…

The synthesis of ammonia reaction is a quite a remarkable one. It does not occur spontaneously -- at least, not on Earth because of the relatively low temperatures here; it requires a catalyst to commence the reaction, instead. Additionally, the product of this reaction makes it possible for the Earth to sustain its population (that will be discussed later with the date). Ammonia is an extremely important part of people 's lives, and most do not realize that fact. In this paper, the data will…

There are many ways of getting sick such as airborne, touching someone. For a long time this is how people have gotten a cold or chicken pox. As medicine is readily available to aid in the recovery of an illness. Viruses can become resistant to medicine just as our bodies could resist to some sicknesses. In the book Biological Terrorism by Steve Goodwin and Randall W. Phillis they present a history of microorganism used to help cure diseases and misused by Medics, and biological warfare. To…

Cosmetic Use of Botulinum Toxin Type A Introduction Botulinum toxin was first identified as a cause of food poisoning over 100 years ago (Carruthers and Carruthers, 2009). Since then, there has been an identification of seven different serotypes labeled A-G; all produced by different strains of the bacteria Clostridium botulinum (Hurkadle et al., 2012). Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) is the main and most well-studied serotype that is used in cosmetic (Hurkadle et al., 2012). The BTX-A can be…

leucine to proline at amino acid position 1544(Ashcroft, 2005). This mutation simply reduce the activation of the channel by stimulatory nucleotide MgADP, as the NBDs sensitivity to this nucleotide is greatly/entirely lost. The failure of the channel activation means the open state of the channel pore is greatly reduced/blocked. This occurs as the inhibitory nucleotide (ATP) would have higher affinity for the channel than the activating nucleotide (MgADP). Closure of the K+ channel leads to…

Candles are made up of chemical compounds pressed together in the form or a candle. They are made of two totally different types of wax which is Paraffin wax and Beeswax. The Paraffin candles are 95% of the world’s population of candle production. But when it comes to the beeswax the beekeepers can only used one or two pounds of the wax for every hundred pounds of honey they are able to harvest. They are also thought being able to clean the air because when the beeswax candle is burned it…

the elongation step of viral DNA replication. The study showed that Acyclovir is phosphorylated into monophosphate purine analog, and remained in the infected cells before being converted into the triphosphate active form by the viral thymidine kinase. Once in this form, DNA polymerase will substitute it for Guanine triphosphate into the viral DNA chain. Due to Acyclovir’s structure, the lack of a second hydroxyl group prevents another residue to be attached and terminates chain growth. This…
