Chemistry Of Performance Enhancing Drugs Chemistry of Performance Enhancing Drugs Introduction Athletes use performance-enhancing drugs in order to get an edge off of their compatriots and rivals. These performance-enhancing drugs are used at various levels from secondary to international. There is no general rule or guideline for the use of these drugs in athletic competitions but th

Chemistry Through Entertainment For many years students have been taught in the traditional classroom setting. You have a teacher, blackboard and a desk. Most students want to learn, but loss interest or are discouraged when they learn above or below the average learning speed. But when students are offered an opportunity that allows them to learn at their own pace and in the comfort of

Chernobyl Chernobyl & Nuclear Power There are different accounts to this story but the basic plot to this story is that on April 26, 1986 in Chernobyl, a city that was at the time part of U.S.S.R. (now part of Ukraine), there was one of the world’s most fatalistic nuclear disasters. The disaster at Chernobyl marks the “only accident in history of commercial nuclear power where radia

Childhood Obesity Between 5-25 percent of children and teenagers in the United States are obese. As with adults, the commonness of obesity in the young varies by ethnic group. It is estimated that 5-7 percent of White and Black children are obese, while 12 percent of Hispanic boys and 19 percent of Hispanic girls are obese. Clearly Proving the differences related to ethnic groups.

Cholera Cholera Cholera has smouldered in an endemic fashion on the Indian subcontinent for centuries. There are references to deaths due to dehydrating diarrhea dating back to the Hippocrates and Sanskirt writings. Epidemic cholera was described in 1563 by Garcia del Huerto, a Portuguese physician at Goa, India. The mode of transmission of cholera by water was proven in 1849 by John

Avian Flu 1) What is a virus' Any of various simple submicroscopic parasites of plants, animals, and bacteria that often cause disease and that consist essentially of a core of RNA or DNA surrounded by a protein coat. Unable to replicate without a host cell, viruses are typically not considered living organisms. 2) Name of virus to be studied- Avian flu virus 3) Background res

Circadian Rhythm Analysis of Circadian Rhythm Research Circadian Rhythms are our biological clocks; these tells us when we should sleep and also when we should wake up, but not limited to the previous. Researchers also believe that the rhythms control body temperature, mental awareness, pain awareness, and also hormone production.(1

Classification Of The Red Kangaroo And The Banksia Ornata Eutherian mammals, or placental mammals, once dominated the lands of Australia. However, through convergent evolution, marsupials have branched out and filled the recesses formerly occupied by their closely related eutherian counterparts. After Pangea was broken up, South America and Australia became island continents. This cut

Clones These human cloning news stories are updated from searches of 100,000 global publications and newspapers on human cloning and animal cloning. 13,530 separate news stories / articles / features on human cloning or animal cloning in the last 12 months alone. See below for human cloning links, human cloning videos (RealVideo) etc. These web pages have had over 5.5 million hits in l

Cleft Palate Cleft lip and cleft palate Cleft Palate is the fourth most common birth defect in the United States. One of every 700 newborns is affected by cleft lip or cleft palate or even both. A cleft lip is a separation of the two sides of the lip. The separation often includes the bones of the upper jaw and upper gum. A cleft palate is an opening in the roof of the mouth in which

Cloning Versus Identical Twins Cloning Versus Identical Twins A century ago no one considered implanting embryos, surrogate parenting, manipulating DNA, or cloning. Now, these are not merely ideas, they are reality. But unless you have kept up to date in scientific circles, the specifics of these procedures may be unclear. This paper is not an attempt to explain genetic engineering,

Cloning ALL CONSTRAINTS UPON CLONING SHOULD BE LIFTED Cloning has been a very controversial topic since it affects moral values of human beings and other living things alike. In February 1997 scientists in Scotland announced the birth of the first cloned sheep named Dolly, this heralded the future of cloning possibilities and scientists began extensive experiments on cloning and have

Cloning Cloning Imagine the world where everything was doubled, or tripled. There’s a newly developed technology that can allow doctors and scientists to duplicate living organisms. This development in technology is known as cloning, and it has forever changed the views of life. Cloning can serve as the answer to problems which plaque the human, animal, and plant populations. Any li

Cloning The biological definition of a clone is an organism that has the same genetic information as another organism or organisms ("Cloning", 1997). From this definition and from information about the science behind cloning, my current view on cloning is that it is ethical. This statement ignores information about how we can misuse cloning and what consequences occur when the procedure

Cloning Cloning Cloning Twenty-five years ago, scientists thought that cloning was virtually impossible. In the last five years, the science of cloning, has come to realization. What is a clone' A clone is a duplicate - much like a photocopy is a duplicate, or copy, of a document (Kolate, 238). A good example of copies that occur in nature are identical twins, which are duplicates of

Cloning My fellow Americans, it has come to my attention that there is a feud being fought over the idea of cloning. As president I would like to continue this project, but in a way that all citizens will be able to cope with. As president I would like to fund research for cloning. I would like to do this, for if we could create a clone of certain organs, or be able to clone blood typ

CLONING Human Cloning Human cloning is an issue that greatly concerns the public (Tauzin 1). Cloning is a process that involves taking a nucleus with the DNA of a person and put it in an egg where there is no nucleus, then implant it in a womb of a female to carry to term (Green 1). Cloning could assist in making discoveries of genetics, cell development, and human growth (“Pro: Clon

Cloning 1. Cloning is the production of multiple, identical offspring. A clone is an animal that is genetically identical to its donor "parent". We now know that this can be achieved using cells derived from a microscopic embryo, a fetus, or from an adult animal. Cloning from adult animals was introduced to the public in 1997 when scientists announced the birth of Dolly, the first animal

Cloning On July 5, 1996, Scottish Scientists shocked the world by creating the first successful clone of a sheep. With the dawn of this new biotechnology, people have begun to question the ethical ramifications of applying this technology to humans. Many believe that cloning humans is morally wrong. As a stockholder in Cloneco, I support their use of this scientific discovery. Howeve

Cloning Cloning Bioethics, which is the study of value judgments pertaining to human conduct in the area of biology and includes those related to the practice of medicine, has been an important aspect of all areas in the scientific field (Bernstein, Maurice, M.D.). It is one of the factors that says whether or not certain scientific research can go on, and if it can, under which rules

Cloning - Is It Ethical' To begin my introduction to cloning, I would like to ask of you to erase everything that you have learned and heard about cloning. But please do not do that if you name is: Dr. Ian Wilmut, Dr. Keith Campbell, John Gurdon, Steen Malte Willadsen, Alan Colman, Neal First, James M. Robl, Mark Westheusin or Richard Seed – the fore fathers of cloning. Although

Cloning Cloning Cloning Is that a mirror, am I seeing double, or most likely, I’m looking into the future of genetic engineering. Cloning will perhaps be the most astonishing thing this generation of eyes will see. Cloning can be defined in a few different ways but it is basically making an exact copy of something else out of there DNA. Cloning is the biggest step in genetic enginee

Cloning Is Ethically Unacceptable To clone or not' This is one of the most discussable questions in the world. Cloning or Genetic engineering, in its broadest definition, means to manipulate a species so that a particular trait is increased in the population. The earliest forms of genetic engineering occurred on farms, where most people on earth lived at the time. They managed to do thi

Cloning Imagine lying in a hospital bed about to die of heart failure, liver failure, or even kidney failure. Now imagine if the only way to live was to have an exact replica of your heart, liver or kidney. The only way that this could be possible was to have an exact clone made of your organ(s) through a scientific process called cloning. Now imagine that every piece of meat or anima

Cocaine The potent drug cocaine was first prescribed as an anesthetic and a painkiller by doctors who believed that it was a safe substitute for morphine. The drug is a white, crystalline compound that has been processed from the leaves of the coca plant (Erythroxylum coca), a tropical shrub commonly found wild in Peru and Bolivia and cultivated in many other countries. For centuries

Colbalt Cobalt Cobalt is a brittle, hard, transition metal with magnetic properties similar to those of iron. Cobalt is present in meteorites. Main Ore deposits in the world are found in Zaire, Morocco and Canada. Cobalt-60 (60Co) is an artificially produced isotope used as a source of g rays (high energy radiation). Cobalt salts colour glass a beautiful deep blue colour. Cobalt was d

Colic Colic affects a number of horses every year. Risk factors associated with the horse’s lifestyle may be connected to the causes for the problem. The causes of colic are extremely numerous and still not fully understood. Symptoms associated with colic are more clear-cut and horse owners should always keep an eye open for any sign of colic. Prevention of colic by the horse owner or

Common Ground Common Ground Around one hundred forty-one years ago Charles Darwin hypothesized, in Origin of Species, that “ humans had evolved from an apelike ancestor (78).” It was one hundred ten years later before scientists concluded that humans have many of the same emotions and bonds as the great apes. Mother apes care for their young by holding, protecting, teaching, and rewa

Bacteria Bacteria Bacteria can be found almost anywhere on the globe, even in the most remote places, bacteria can be found. Bacteria belong to the oldest group of organisms. A 3.5 billion-year-old fossil contains ancient bacteria (Johnson 339). The tiniest organisms can be filled with bacteria. You cannot see bacteria with out microscope. People can grow bacteria to find out differen
