- 14121: Feeding Yeast
- ... starch, I expect to produce some carbon dioxide and the gelatin, high in protein, not do much. And I expected the grape juice, which is high in natural sugar to be the food yeast doesn't like and make the least gas. The information that I discovered through this experiment I hope to use to increase my comprehension of baking techniques. Experimentation For the actual experiment, I used four (4) ICB ... based on one done by the French scientist Charles Cagniard de la Tour in 1857. I used ingredients sometimes used in bread making so as to see what would help yeast grow, and what wouldn't. After about an hour of measuring the balloons every 15 minutes, it got boring. I noticed that sometimes it looked a lot bigger, but when I measured it, it grew only a little. This problem might stem form the fact that I couldn't put the string at the exact spot where it was widest every time, so that makes for an unknown margin of error, that in real scientific circles would be unacceptable, but since I only ...

- 14123: Sickle Cell Anemia
- Sickle Cell Anemia One of the worst genetically inherited diseases is sickle cell anemia. Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder that occurs when you inherit a hemoglobin S gene from both of your parents. Inheriting one hemoglobin S gene and one normal hemoglobin gene means that you only have the trait, and not the disease. Sickle cell anemia causes chronically low levels of hemoglobin (the blood’s oxygen-carrying chemical) and episodes of extreme pain. People with sickle cell anemia have inherited genes for a type of hemoglobin that forms long rods when it gives up its oxygen. These hemoglobin rods, ...
- 14124: Abortion and Euthanasia: A Significant Difference
- Abortion and Euthanasia: A Significant Difference In the desire to uphold the sanctity and quality of life, and the dignity of each individual, it is important to respect and regard each person’s own moral values and inclinations. Both abortion and euthanasia are issues of high significance as well as controversy, and it is quite apparent that people will view both issues within their own contexts. Although it ... an unwanted fetus with a potential life ahead of it. On the other hand active euthanasia involves relieving an individual from needless pain and suffering by quickening the death process and extending to a person’s own freedom of self-determination. In many cases, the individual is on the brink of death anyway, and feels it unnecessary to have to suffer any more torment and anguish than they have to. While one who supports abortion may believe that it lessens the mother’s pain and suffering, in most cases it is the mother herself who puts herself in the position to have the abortion. Should she not have to face the consequences of her actions? Any person ...
- 14125: Marvells To His Coy Mistress A
- ... diem poetry full of vivid imagery and metaphysical conceits. Each conveyed the message of living for the now. This message can be clearly seen in the poems To his Coy Mistress by Marvell and Donne s Flea. By using clever metaphors and meter, the poems not only are symbolic, but have almost a physical aspect to them. Though both poems take a similar approach, it is Marvell that writes the more persuasive one, reaching deep into the soul to win his object of affection. The main theme of Marvell s poem is to seize the day. The speaker is trying to convince the woman that it is much better to have sex now than to save her virginity for the future. The man wants to experience the pleasure now, while the woman would rather save herself until they are married. Marvell s message here seems to be that we shouldn t be worrying so much about exactly when and where to do things, but just to take things as they come and enjoy them. This theme ...
- 14126: Globalisation
- ... of ‘The West’ which did create dominance of local cultures from those who claimed to be superior. We know that ‘The West’ was a social level of development, which first occurred in Europe.

These societies were “a result of historical processes - economic, political ... of local cultures. With this rising of the west there is also capitalism and imperialism without a doubt and it is though these elements that there is domination and almost total erasure that occurs. Let’s take the Dutch, and their dominance in Java. The Dutch colonised Java and with doing so became dominant of the country and nearly totally erased it’s culture. They capitalized what the country offered them in terms of, raw materials, which were rare or not yet discovered in other parts of the world at the time, and made it their own. ...
- 14127: Goodfellas The Movie, Sociolog
- ... based on the premise that any member suffering an alleged injustice was obliged to take personal vengeance while avoiding all contact with legal authorities. Even in the modern day American Mafia, each family ruled it's own territory and when others from outside the territory interfered they were dealt with through violent methods. The wiseguys (or local gangsters) paid for their protection by paying the head of their local family. This payoff was also known as paying tribute to the boss. Many of the Mafia's folkways and mores' were identified throughout the movie. Some of the informal rules held by the Mafia were the codes of trust and silence. In other words, never rat on a friend and keep your ... rarely discussed around a board table or in a group meeting. When an action needed to be taken to correct a problem with a family member or to settle a dispute with a different family's member, the bosses communicated directly. They were private conversation between the boss and the person involved. The Lufthansa heist clearly illustrates this folkway. Every one involved had their own job to do, but that ...
- 14128: The Black Plague
- ... Plague were swellings called buboes and dried blood under the skin that appeared black. The Black Plague changed the world in several different ways.

Travelers to plague infested areas should take a special antibiotic. The most effective way to prevent plague is better sanitation. As plagues occurred regularly after the 1350's, preventative measures began to grow. Plague patients were placed in pesthouses, isolated from the general population. Ships coming in from areas where plague had broken out were forced to stay out of the port ...

- 14130: Cholesterol
- Cholesterol How many of us think about our cholesterol levels? I’m sure not many, especially the younger crowd. Sure that’s something that we wont have to worry about until we get a little older, but it’s what we eat now that will effect us later.
