Secondhand smoke is also known as Environmental Tobacco Smoke‚ or ETS. It’s defined as a combination of the smoke that comes

Clays are one of the important natural materials‚ which have been examined for catalytic applications. Clays are characterized by a layered structure and hence they are slippery when wet. They are broadly classified as cationic or smectite type (having layer lattice structure in which two-dimensional oxyanions are separated by layers of hydrated cations) and anionic or brucite type (in which the charge on the layer and the gallery ion is reversed complimentary to smectite type). Anionic clays are

Name: Professor`s name: Course number: Date: Metabolic Pathways of Drugs The principal site for drug metabolism in the human body is the liver organ. The process of metabolism usually inactivates drugs though some drug metabolites are pharmacologically in active status. Inactive substance which has a metabolite that is active is referred to as a prodrug. Drugs are metabolized

BIOREMEDIATION INTRODUCTION:- The process of bioremediation was reportedly devised by George M Robinson in the 1960 during experimentation with dirty jars and the introduction of microbes this was however not applied until the 1972 clean out of the fuel holding tanks on the RMS queen mary. Science 1972 bioremediation has become greater developed as a means of cleaning up spills of gasoline diesel ‚ heavy metals and other easily degraded petroleum products (National Research Council 1993).

ABSTRACT: Medicinal plants are potential sources of new drugs to improve the treatment of diseases whose treatment is associated to anti-oxidative agents. In the current study‚ we carried out a comparative analysis of the antioxidant activities of extracts of the selected leaves of 6 common medicinal plants. Total Ascorbic Acid Content‚ Total Carotenoid Content‚ Antioxidant potential using FRAP assay and Total Phenol Content was quantitatively estimated from leaves of Rauvolfia serpentina‚ Cymbopogon

Potassium is one of the body’s major ions. Nearly 98% of the body’s potassium is intracellular. The ratio of intracellular to extracellular potassium is important in determining the cellular membrane potential. Small changes in the extracellular potassium level can have profound effects on the function of the cardiovascular and neuromuscular systems. The kidney determines potassium homeostasis‚ and excess potassium is excreted in the urine. The reference range for serum potassium level is 3

Over the last few decades Schizophrenia has become embedded in mainstream vernacular as any behavior or emotional response that is out of touch with reality. However even with its popularity heightened through movies and headline news stories‚ schizophrenia is still one of the most enigmatic and least understood disorders of the brain. With current research focused on the role of neurobiology and functioning on a cellular level‚ investigative analysis has merited new innovations towards its source

Schizophrenia: Genetic or Environmental? About one percent of the American population suffers from schizophrenia. The term schizophrenia literally means the "splitting of psychic functions" (Pinel‚ 447). At the time of the early 20th century‚ this is what was used to describe what was assumed at that time to be the primary symptom: the breakdown of integration among emotion‚ thought‚ and action (Pinel‚ 447). Schizophrenia is a form of psychotic disorder which causes people to have difficulty
