Throughout the years‚ athletes have been using a wide spread of illegal banned drugs and substances to help them perform well during sporting events. The WADA currently has a list of over 200 banned substances that prohibit athletes from using. The list include substances such as blood doping‚ and Performance Enchanced

Erythrocytes are continuously being produced in the red bone marrow of large bones. (In the embryo‚ the liver is the main site of red blood cell production.) The production can be stimulated by the hormone erythropoietin (EPO)‚ which is used for doping in sports. Erythrocytes develop in about 7 days and live a total of about 120 days. The aging cells swell up to a sphere-like shape and are engulfed by phagocytes‚ destroyed and their materials are released into the blood. The main sites of destruction

Preparation and Ferroelectric Characterization of Calcium doped Barium Titanate ceramics ABSTRACT Barium Titanate (BT) is widely used in electro-optical and electroceramic industry because of its ferroelectric‚ thermoelectric and piezoelectric properties when it assumes the tetragonal structure. In addition to its Lead free composition‚ its perovskite structure allows variation of ionic size and small displacement of atoms that lead to the distortion of the structure which has a profound
