ASEPTIC TECHNIQUES AND SOURCES OF MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION. Introduction The spread of infections has come to a point where it has become catastrophic. Aseptic technique is the method used to prevent contamination of infections. It is widely used in hospitals‚ pharmacy‚ and pharmaceutical industries and in laboratories. Different establishments have come up with more ways to improve infection control. In hospitals health care acquired infections are costing the NHS £1 Billion a year and

when volcanic islands collided in the south west of America‚ where the North American plate is now. Mountain building occurred about 75 million years ago when the uplift of almost 2 miles in the region‚ (called a Laramide orogeny event) started and created the Colorado Plateau. The rocks in the Grand Canyon were igneous or sedimentary rocks before the collision of tectonic plates. The collision pushed the plates under the earths crusts. The rocks recrystallized under high temperature and pressure

EARTHQUAKES 8 MEASURES TAKEN TO MINIMIZE EARTHQUAKES 9 BIBLIOGRAPHY 11 INTRODUCTION Earthquakes are caused by the movement of the earth’s tectonic plates. Earthquakes occur where the earth’s plates meet along plate boundaries.For example as two plates move towards each other‚ one can be pushed down under the other one into the mantle. If this plate gets stuck it causes a lot of pressure on surrounding rocks. When this pressure is released it produces shock waves. These are called seismic waves.

MAJOR FAULT LINES The Philippine Sea Plate or Philippine Plate is a tectonic plate comprising oceanic lithosphere that lies beneath the Philippine Sea‚ to the east of the Philippines. Most segments of the Philippines‚ including northern Luzon‚ are part of the Philippine Mobile Belt‚ which is geologically and tectonically separate from the Philippine Sea Plate. The North American Plate is a tectonic plate covering most of North America‚ Greenland‚ Cuba‚ Bahamas‚ and parts ofIceland and the Azores

accreted more towards the land mass. Later closure of the Iapetus Ocean moved the passive margin further inland as the oceanic plate subducted under Laurentian plate (Stone‚ 2012) (figure 2). During this event‚ Franklinian basin probably transformed into a foreland basin as a result of the subduction of Iapetus Oceanic plate which preceded the formation of supercontinent Pannotia.

How Old is the Earth? James C. Wood‚ Sr. Liberty University PHSC-210 – Elements of Earth Science Instructor Mark Ivins March 2‚ 2015 Introduction The scientific community has been split on many things and the age of the earth is one of the subjects in which it is split. There are some who believe that the earth is billions of years old based on scientific measurements and there are others who believe that the earth is only thousands of years old based off of what the Bible teaches.

OBJECTIVE: 1. To distinguish the bacteria abilities to metabolize various substrates and end products formed. 2. To observe the growth of different bacteria species in term of structures and its morphology based on different chemical substance applied. 3. To observe physiological and immunological properties utilized by different species of bacteria. INTRODUCTION: Bacteria biochemical testing can determine the types and numbers in terms of colony forming units of bacteria present in a

of well-known famous peaks like Nanga Parbat‚ Evereast and Namche Barwa etc. The Himalayan ranges hold a huge concentration of lithospheric mass comprising Precambrian to Recent sediments. The contnent to continent collision of Indian and Asian plates is considered as the grave reason for the origion and development of Himalaya. This collision occurred in last 100 Ma yielding the uplifting of Himalayan chain of mountains. This lead the closing of Tethyian sea during 60-50 Ma. The over trust sheets
