Web 2.0 and public relations “The greatest craving of humans is to express and to be understood” Humans love and desire connection with others. The boom of internet age is the proof of this desire. Internet survived the dot com bubble and the world saw the rising of giants like Google and Yahoo who thrive on information sharing and “connecting” people through chat rooms and social networking. The desire to express finds its manifestation through newer channels like blogs and social networks which

Are People the "Puppets of Society"? Student Notes 2 ARE PEOPLE THE "PUPPETS OF SOCIETY"? What makes people behave in the ways they do? Are their actions determined by forces beyond their immediate control or are they able to choose and select their behaviour with an element of free choice? This is one of the oldest problems philosophers and social scientists have grappled with and it still emerges in many debates today as the example below illustrates. The problem has led to a long

May 1‚ 2013 Enzymes as Drug Targets Enzymes are defined as any of numerous proteins produced in living cells that accelerate or catalyze the metabolic processes of an organism. Enzymes are usually very selective in the molecules that they act upon‚ called substrates‚ often reacting with only a single substrate. The substrate binds to the enzyme at a location called the active site just before the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme takes place. Enzymes can speed up chemical reactions by up to

Enzyme Lab Daniyal Abdali (Rachel Lee) (Sarina Dolch) SBI 3UI Mr. Vrabec October 20‚ 2009 Test #1 * Add a small piece of cracker in test tube #1 and add Lugol’s solution. Observation #1 * The cracker turned a black colour when the Lugol’s solution was added to it. This was a positive result‚ meaning that the cracker contains starch. Test #2 * Add a bigger piece of cracker in test tube #2‚ add 5 mL of Benedict’s solution‚ place in a boiling water bath‚ and record observations

Digestion and Enzymes – APP. Hypothesis: The enzyme‚ Amylase which is used to break down carbohydrates will work the best when heated at 40°C. Also‚ as the temperature increases the reaction rate of amylase increases too. However‚ the reaction rate of amylase will start decreasing when the temperature reaches the enzyme’s optimal temperature. Many enzymes are specific for a certain substrate. For example‚ lipase is a specific enzyme for fat substrates and protease‚ a specific enzyme for protein

As a nursing student‚ I learned to shave patients in preparation for surgery; as a public health nurse‚ I taught mothers to clean their infants’ umbilical cords with alcohol and showed patients newly diagnosed with diabetes how to wipe the skin with alcohol before injecting insulin. Since then‚ high-quality research has shown that pre-operative shaving increases rather than decreases post-operative infections (Kjonniksen et al. 2002)‚ that cleaning umbilical cords with sterile water shortens the

Equilibrium is the state in which the competing influences of a system are balanced. In this experiment‚ four activities were conducted to study equilibrium namely Equilibrant Force‚ First Condition for Equilibrium‚ Locating the Center of Gravity and Second Condition of Equilibrium. The % Error obtained for the following activities were 14.13% and 2.35% for Activity 1‚ 4.90% for Activity 2 and 7.52% for Activity 4. Friction is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another

Patrick McCrystal Enzymes: Natural Catalysts Enzymes are catalytic proteins‚ meaning they speed up chemical reactions without beingused up or altered permanently in the process. Although various enzymes use different methods‚all accomplish catalysis by lowering the activation energy for the reaction‚ thus allowing it tooccur more easily. Enzymes have very specific shapes (conformations). Part of the conformationis the active site of the enzyme‚ where the actual catalysis occurs. The specific molecule
