MSc Sustainable Community Design Heriot Watt University/ Findhorn Foundation College Q. Discuss the mechanisms for developing a circular metabolism in an urban environment and how these feed into the development of a sustainable community. INTRODUCTION The majority of cities today display a linear metabolism: a one way flow with resources and food coming in and waste products being pumped out. Food is brought into cities‚ eaten and then sewage is discharged

do you think will happen after you inject TSH into the three rats? Your answer : a. The normal rat will become hyperthyroidic and develop a goiter. Predict Question 4: Propylthiouracil (PTU) is a drug that inhibits the production of thyroxine by blocking the attachment of iodine to tyrosine residues in the follicle cells of the thyroid gland (iodinated tyrosines are linked together to form thyroxine). What do you think will happen after you inject PTU into the three rats? Your answer : a. The normal

Autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD) is the most common autoimmune disease associated with type 1 diabetes. Therefore‚ a sound understanding of the disease process and how it impacts glycemia is important. ATD may present as Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) or Grave’s disease. HT results in hypothyroidism and is the most common presentation‚ while Grave’s disease results in hyperthyroidism (Kakleas‚ Soldatou‚ Karachaliou‚ & Karavanaki‚ 2015). Specific HLA types in patients with type 1 diabetes are associated

Microbial metabolism is the means by which a microbe obtains the energy and nutrients (e.g. carbon) it needs to live and reproduce. Microbes use many different types of metabolic strategies and species can often be differentiated from each other based on metabolic characteristics. The specific metabolic properties of a microbe are the major factors in determining that microbe’s ecological niche‚ and often allow for that microbe to be useful in industrial processes or responsible for biogeochemical

There are 4 common types of thyroid cancer‚ and each type responds best to 1 or a combination of thyroid cancer treatments. Papillary Thyroid Cancer The most common type of thyroid cancer‚ papillary cancer‚ accounts for 70% to 80% of all recorded thyroid cancer cases.
