BACTERIAL MENINGITIS BY JAY DOMANTAY JAY DOMANTAY ANATOMY 151 HERBERT MAY 11‚ 2009 BACTERIAL MENINGITIS A bacterial infection of blood poisoning in the meninges called bacterial meningitis affects toddlers‚ adolescents and young adults. The infection strikes nearly 3‚000 Americans each year‚ and 10 to 12% of those infected will die. Among those who survive‚ approximately 20 % live with permanent disabilities‚ such as brain damage‚ kidney disease‚ hearing loss or loss of limbs.(“Prevention

(Westneat 1995). Due to their different morphologies‚ different fishes within the species prey on different types of food. The main difference making up the separate morphologies‚ and subsequently feeding habits‚ is the functional and mechanical properties of the jaw. Due to so many variations of the functional morphologies of feeding‚ many studies have been conducted on wrasse feeding behavior to distinguish how the different modifications of morphology have become so diversified using the same

Transformation of Bacterial Cells with Plasmid DNA Introduction: Transformation refers to the process in which the cell integrates foreign DNA to its genetic code‚ meaning it takes the genes and incorporates them into the cell’s current DNA. Cells that can do this naturally‚ most commonly bacteria and archea‚ are known as competent. The bacteria E. coli do not have high transformation competence under normal conditions‚ but can be manipulated to produce better results using

conjunctivitis can occur in one or two of a person’s eyes. It tends to cause a watery discharge while conjunctivitis caused by bacteria causes a thicker discharge. Both are transmitted to another eye in the discharge. Children are primarily affected by bacterial conjunctivitis‚ possibly because it is more transferable in a location like school. People are at a higher risk of developing conjunctivitis if they use contacts. Those who come in

these micro-organisms were present and how widespread and abundant they were. Method: In the experiment‚ there were 3 environments in which agar plates were used to get bacteria and fungi. Environment No.1 was inside the lab with the laboratory air‚ environment No.2 was outside the lab in the open air and environment No.3 was taken from scalp scrapings from the students involved. In environment 1‚ 6 agar plates were produced. The 6 plates were separated into groups of 2. Each group of 2 was exposed

THE CHILD’S LEARNING OF ENGLISH MORPHOLOGY JEAN BERKO In this study1 we set out to discover what is learned by children exposed to English morphology. To test for knowledge of morphological rules‚ we use nonsense materials. We know that if the subject can supply the correct plural ending‚ for instance‚ to a noun we have made up‚ he has internalized a working system of the plural allomorphs in English‚ and is able to generalize to new cases and select the right form. If a child knows that the

Bacterial biosensors for victual processing The biosensor research has blossomed into a mature and highly active field over the past 20 years‚ mutually in the laboratory and in the business-related district‚ attract huge attention due to the pledge of holdings for vital aspects of the human life. The wished-for work aims to engineer a capacitive biosensor‚ which will be able to perform label-free and fast electrochemically immune-detection based on very small biological samples. This

Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite
