Theanine Can Save Lives Cancer cells have a method of expelling drugs intended to kill them. Cancer cells use glutathione to detoxify doxorubicin, a drug used for chemotherapy, and escort the drug out of the cells. Along with being one of the things cancer cells use against drugs and chemicals, glutathione is one the liver’s first-line of defense against drugs and chemicals. For se

Atoms What is the significance of the derivation of the term atom' That matter appears to be continuous but is actually discontinuous. This means that the continuations of division of a matter would eventually reach a limit to this dividing, a particle that could not be further subdivided. The Greek philosopher Democritus (460-326 B.C) developed this model in the fourth century B.C.,

History And Development Of Electricity History and Development of Electricity For hundreds of years, electricity has been a challenge to many scientists. They have known about its existence but found it difficult to explain what electricity actually is. Exactly what electricity is, is unknown. It has no weight but can lift and move thousands of tons. It has no shape, still, it is

GM Crops Genetic engineering involves altering the genetic structure of living plants and organisms making them capable of producing new substances or performing new functions (Anon 2002). Genes can also be transferred between different species to receive desired traits; this could not occur in nature due to limitations by the “natural barriers that exist between different species” (Ande

Inheritance Of Normal Phenotype And Polka Dot Phenotype In C-Ferns Abstract C-Ferns have independent haploid and diploid generations, distinct sexual types within the gametophyte generation, and they rapidly develop to full sexual maturity within two weeks. They also possess a variety of distinct visual phenotypes that can be used to perform genetic crosses. All of these traits make t

Controversy of Cloning The Controversies with Cloning Throughout the past century, the United States as well as many other countries around the world have made astonishing advances in technology. Many of the concepts and devices that are so common to us today, were once illustrated only in the plots of science fiction films. Some of these advances are so complex that even the movi

Careers In Science At this point in time, I have yet to decide what I want to be when I grow up. I hope to attend a state college and major in business or something computer related. Recently the occupation of computer networking has been introduced to me. From all that I have learned about it, it seems to be a good choice for a career. Although I am not sure if computer networki

Coral Reefs Coral reefs are arguably the world’s most beautiful habitats. Coral reefs have been called the rainforests of the oceans, because of the rich diversity of life they support. Scientists have not yet finished counting the thousands of different species of plants and animals that use or live in the coral reef. There are three types of coral reefs: fringing reefs, barrier reefs,

Schizophrenia Is Precipitated In People Who Are Genetically Predispositioned To The Neuropsychiatric Illness By The Use Of Certain Illegal Drugs Schizophrenia is a highly complex and yet particularly prevalent neuropsychiatric illness. It is a chronic disease in which the senses of reality, thoughts, and perception are distorted to varying degrees. Although most people associate mind d

Art Therapy Music and art therapy produce results that are more effective for autistic patients than any other currently prescribed treatment. Art therapy is designed to reunite emotional conflict and promote personal growth. Unlike conservative methods of treatment, art therapy puts emphasis on non-verbal communication making the most of uncomplicated art materials (Goldberg, 2002).

DNA DNA In this report I will discuss the topic DNA and Forensics. This is an interesting topic because there have been great advances in the field of forensic science that have affected it's credibility and usage in solving crimes that would otherwise go unsolved. DNA can be found in almost any bodily fluid (semen, saliva, blood, etc.) and in less obvious places such as a strand

Throat Cancer Do you know anyone with cancer more specifically throat cancer' I do and so I wanted to learn more about it. Throat cancer also known as cancer of the pharynx can be included in the group of head and neck cancers. 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with cancer from this group annually. There are more than 500,000 survivors living in the United States today. The tumors are often

Thyroid Cancer The word cancer has earned itself the connotation of fear and death. This is true for many types of cancer, but thyroid cancer often has a different story. Because it is usually curable with surgery, causes little pain and has effective means of diagnosis and treatment, it is often termed “the cancer to get” (American Thyroid Association). This is because it is one of t

Mount St. Helens Mount St. Helen’s Mount St. Helen’s, located in the Cascade Mountains, about 95 miles south of Seattle has been an active volcano for more than 4,000 years. It is considered a very young volcano. Over the last 4,000 years, the mountain has erupted regularly every few hundred years and the top that was destroyed in 1980, was less than 500 years old. The 123 yea

Message Therapy Massage Therapy is a new growing trend, but does it work effectively' This is the basis of this Journal article. In this article, many researchers believe that this is a true theory and practice. In addition, in this paper the new research found is being studied to see if massage should actually be used in Therapeutic Recreation. The major areas that massage will help red

Theory Of Evolution Today’s human being is the product of millions of years of trial and error through the process of evolution. Charles Darwin was the first to bring fourth the idea of evolution. His theory involved the instance of natural selection. However he could not explain exactly how natural selection worked, he just knew that it existed. The scientific world was much more re

Theraputic Hypthermia Hypothermia, defined as a core body temperature less than 95 °F(35°C) occurs when heat loss exceeds the body’s heat production. (Ruffolo p.47) Thermal stability in humans depends on the body’s ability to adapt to changes in internal and external temperatures. Heat is transferred throughout tissues and fat, and is released at a rate directly related

Time Travel Many science-fiction stories have been based around the concept of time travel, a self explanatory subject that we have all probably dreamed of since our youth. The power to roam over time unrestricted can allow us to travel far into the past and see the births of eras that could answer the questions that have left us stupified for ages, and travel far into the fu

To Hell To Hell By: Donovan Webster The author Donovan Webster and a group of explores venture to the South Pacific island of Ambrym to document volcanic pits on the island. This story talks about Photographer Carston Peter and why he continues to climb into the volcanoes. Plus Webster paints a very vivid picture of the events that happen on the trip. Also he describes their drop i

Covalent Bonds Covalent and Ionic Bonds By Andrej Petrovski Ionic Bonds An ionic bond is an electrical attraction between two oppositely charged atoms or groups of atoms. Normally, atoms are neutral and have no charge. However, in order to gain stability they will sacrifice their neutrality by either losing one or more of its outermost electrons thus becoming a positive ion (catio

The Hindenburg The Hindenburg The Hindenburg was a huge gamble in a long line of gambles for the Zeppelin Company. It was three football fields long, and it was held aloft by 7 million cubic feet of hydrogen and could fly at 84 miles an hour. It was luxurious, with a dining salon, lounges, and staterooms. She still holds the record as the largest aircraft ever to fly but,

Stem Cell Applications The ongoing research of stem cell biology has introduced possibilities of cellular replacement strategies, which if successful, could create effective treatments for diseases such as Parkinson’s Disease and Diabetes (type 1), as well as repairs to severe spinal chord injuries that were previously untreatable. The medical value of these stem cells is their potentia

Tornado Similarity in several respects between discrete cases. A logical argument by analogy relies upon an inductive inference from the supposition that things are similar is certain known respects to the likelihood that they are also similar in some further unknown respect. Example: "Jennifer enjoys listening to the music of Beethoven, Mahler, and Bartok. Susan and Harold also like Bee
