- 3411: Antibiotic Resistance
- ... since the effects of antibiotics are decreasing and antibiotic resistance is increasing, new research on how to battle bacteria is starting. Antibiotic resistance spreads fast but efforts are being made to slow it. Improving infection control, discovering new antibiotics, and taking drugs more appropriately are ways to prevent resistant bacteria from spreading. In developing nations, approaches are being made to control infections such as hand washing by health care people, and identifying drug resistant infections quickly to keep them away from others. The World Health Organization has began a global computer program that reports any outbreaks ...
- 3412: The Great Gatsby
- ... of destruction. Kern, von salomon. A man like this and his acts are by no means normal, and supposedly caused by the world he knows, all morally, socially, honor, obedience is lost. The aggression takes control for many reasons. Although an extreme case of aggression, we see what may be societies cause on it s own people. Such a thing is a window to this picture. Another focus would be on ... can be encouraging that we are finding out what we really are about. Getting one step closer to the make-up of our complicated systems. Because of this research we may find out how to control our aggression and stop constant violent acts showing up. On the other hand all of this may be put into the hands of the next Hitler and he may very well use this information to ...
- 3413: Dreams
- ... hypothesis. Their neurological research indicates that large brain cells in the primitive brain stem spontaneously fire about every 90 minutes, sending random stimuli to cortical areas of the BRAIN. As a consequence, memory, sensory, muscle-control, and cognitive areas of the brain are randomly stimulated, resulting in the higher cortical brain attempting to make some sense of it. This, according to the research, gives rise to the experience of a dream ... instance, artists tend to recall more dreams than scientists, and, for the population at large, only a small percentage of dreams are recalled. Lucid dreaming, the ability of dreamers to become aware of and to control their dreams while dreaming, is also the focus of some current research. Some lucid dreamers can learn to communicate with researchers through nonverbal signals. New research also promises to yield significant knowledge about memory, storage ...
- 3414: Diphtheria (Corynebacterium diphtheriae)
- ... tissues of the upper respiratory tract has become depleted. It is the regulation of toxin production in the bacterium that is partially controlled by iron. The tox gene is regulated by a mechanism of negative control wherein a repressor molecule, product of the DtxR gene, is activated by iron. The active repressor binds to the tox gene operator and prevents transcription. When iron is removed from the repressor (under growth conditions ... doubt that the tox genes resided on the phage chromosome rather than the bacterial chromosome. Even though the tox gene is not part of the bacterial chromosome the regulation of toxin production is under bacterial control since the DtxR (regulatory) gene is on bacterial chromosome and toxin production depends upon bacterial iron metabolism. It is of some interest to speculate on the role of the diphtheria toxin in the natural history ...
- 3415: Inflammatory Bowel Disease/ Crohn's Disease
- ... on your condition. What Is the Treatment? Several drugs are helpful in controlling Crohn's disease, but at this time there is no cure. The usual goals of therapy are to correct nutritional deficiencies; to control inflammation; and to relieve abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bleeding in a really bad place. Abdominal cramps and diarrhea may be helped by drugs. The drug sulfasalazine often lessens the inflammation, especially in the colon. This ... on related drugs known as mesalamine or 5-ASA agents. More serious cases may require steroid drugs, antibiotics, or drugs that affect the body's immune system such as azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine. Can Diet Control Crohn's Disease? No special diet has been proven effective for preventing or treating this disease. Some people find their symptoms are made worse by milk, alcohol, hot spices, or fiber. But there are no ...
- 3416: Aristotle Voluntary Vs. Involu
- ... If others feel that an action is worthy or noble they will acknowledge the person’s conscious choice of the action and see they receive due reward. In general, Aristotle feels that people are in control of their actions, whether a thoughtful choice is made or not. Here Aristotle makes a distinction, a voluntary action is not necessarily a choice. A choice is a thoughtful decision, as he points out “For ... American public was involuntary or at least non-voluntary. However, much closer to involuntary as the circumstances that caused him to confess, Kenneth Star’s investigation and Lewinsky’s testimony, were completely out of his control, but he still had an option making it non-voluntary. I would say that a non-voluntary action is when a person has no plausible option due to circumstances, such as a kill or be ...
- 3417: Willie Lynch’s Speech
- ... documented in this chapter to test behavioral performance due to some sort of stimuli. Animals are used as the testing factors in some of these experiments. The term conditioning involves processes used to tame or control a reaction or response. Conditioning can also be used to develop a fear response, causing one to turn away from certain situations. Willie Lynch was a white slave owner who reporditely made a speech on ... By creating distrust among slaves he created a sort of trust or loyalty between the slave and slave owner. The basic concepts and methods used in chapter 6 on animals were further used in the control of slaves and are still being used in our communities and neighborhoods now. This method of conditioning to obtain a desirable response is being used on Lincoln University’s campus as I now speak. The ...
- 3418: Aeronautics: Aviation Powerplants
- ... might expect. They instead rotated around a fixed crankshaft. The propeller was attached to the cylinders. The advantage of this configuration was lowered production time and elimination of a costly and vulnerable cooling system. Speed control was gained by cutting the fuel supply and thus shutting down the engine. The engine would retain enough momentum to allow the pilot to simply turn back on the fuel system and restart the engine ... can take out numerous cylinders and physically stall the engine. Horizontally opposed engines are still used today in small private aircraft (Cessna, Bonanza, etc.). These, however, do not use the distributors or computers used to control the spark as do the newer cars. They instead use magnetos and spark plugs because these technologies have been proven and used for nearly 100 years. Also, no fuel injection is used but instead carburetors ...
