- 811: Hemp
- ... these esssential fatty acids provide our immune system has been use to help those suffering from cancer, cardiovascular disease, glandular atrophy, gall stones, kidney degeneration, dry skin, immune deficiency, acne, menstrual problems as well as AIDS. HEMP AS A SOURCE OF FIBRE The hemp plant produces some of the strongest natural fiber known to man. Hemp fiber is ten times stronger than cotton and can be used to make all types ...
- 812: Study of Environmental Issues Associated with Industrialization
- ... to eyes by means such as snow blindness and cataracts, which is the clouding of the eye that can eventually lead to blindness. Above all this, excessive UV exposure can lead to symptoms similar to AIDS as prolonged exposure could weaken the human immune system. As far as plants and animals go, plants may die or may not be as healthy as a result of too much UV exposure and animals ...
- 813: The Promise of Genetic Engineering
- ... and starvation could possibly end through the use of technology in the agriculture field. The death rate would go down and very dramatically in Third World countries. We could see the end of diseases like AIDS and conditions like hemophilia. If you are interested in supporting genetic engineering you can write to your congressman and ask him or her to vote down the restrictions on genetic engineering. You can also make ...
- 814: The Rain Forest - Example of a Flourishing Ecosystem
- ... food though, it also contributes to something of much greater importance. The field of medicine owes a lot to the enormous "gene bank" that the rainforest supplies. Treatments for such things as Leukaemia (Madagascar Periwinkle), AIDS (Catanospermine) gives new hope to these terminal diseases. Perhaps the most noticeable life form within the forest are the trees themselves. Most trees in the rainforest are evergreens however some, such as the wild Kapok ...
- 815: Evolution
- ... shorter lifespan as well - but because they can develop very quickly into large colonies given ideal conditions, it is easier to understand bacteria in clusters. Should a single bacterial organism develop a trait that slightly aids its resistance to destructive environmental conditions, it can pass its modified genetic structure on to half of a colony in a matter of hours. In the meantime the colony is quickly expanding, fully adapted to ...
- 816: Twinning in Cattle
- ... to inform the producer of twins through the use of proper palpation techniques as well as ultrasound. Blood can be analyzed in labs to determine fetal weight gain. In addition nutritious feeds and technology that aids in calf survival have made the possibility of high twinning success rates closer to being reality. These factors enable the genetic possibilities to be an asset to producers (Gregory 23-24). Increased frequency of twinning ...
- 817: New Developments or Research in Genetic Cloning: Summary
- ... development of therapeutic agents. Part III: Brief Discussion about the Advantages and Disadvantages of Gene Cloning Advantages The most appealing aspect of genetic cloning is that it will improve our lifestyle. Fatal diseases such as AIDS could be cured by genetics. Through X- ray crystallography, new drugs could be manufactured to stop mutation of proteins. Our quality of food will increase, because farmers will only sell produces of the highest quality ...
- 818: What Are The Major Components of Biological Membranes And How Do They Contribute To Membrane Function?.
- ... matrices that may have very different compositions. Since there are no covalent forces between lipids in a bilayer, the individual molecules are able to diffuse laterally, and occasionally across the membrane. This freedom of movement aids the process of simple diffusion, which is the only way that small molecules can cross the membrane without the aid of proteins. The limit of permeability of the membrane to the diffusion of small solutes ...
- 819: Genetic Engineering, History and Future: Altering the Face of Science
- ... Recombinant factor VIII, the blood clotting agent missing in people suffering from hemophilia, can also be created by genetic engineering. Virtually all people who were treated with factor VIII before 1985 acquired HIV, and later AIDS. Being completely pure, the bioengineered version of factor VIII eliminates any possibility of viral infection. Other uses of genetic engineering include creating disease resistant crops, formulating milk from cows already containing pharmaceutical compounds, generating vaccines ...
- 820: Episcopalianism / Anglicanism
- ... Reform, and Integrity (gay/lesbian caucus). The diocese's commitment to social witness and community service is expressed through the work of 13 Episcopal Charities and Community Service agencies; various committees including the Hunger Commission, AIDS Task Force, Committee on Affordable Housing; the Committee on Ending Racism, and the Commission on Aging; and participation in community organizing efforts. Coming to America to have a freedom of choice was how the Anglican ...
