Introduction In the design of engineering projects‚ one of the most important soil properties of interest to the soils engineer is permeability. To some degree‚ permeability will play a role in the design of almost any structure. For example‚ the durability of concrete is related to its permeability. In designs that make use of earthen materials (soils and rock‚ etc.) the permeability of these materials will usually be of great importance. Soils are permeable (water may flow through them) because they

Title L6 – Soil Permeability – Constant Head Test Introduction Permeability is measured in term of water flow through the soil in a given time. The soil permeability is a very important factor to study the behavior of soil in its natural condition with respect to water flow. The size of pore space and interconnectivity of the spaces help determine permeability‚ so shape and arrangement of grains play a role. Often the term hydraulic conductivity is used when discussing groundwater properties

Title Membrane Permeability Aim To determine the effect of various chemicals and high temperature on the membrane permeability of beetroot Hypothesis Organic solvent and high temperature will destroy the cell membrane and make it permeable to the red pigment. The higher the concentration of the alcohol‚ the greater will be this effect. Principle Beetroot is the material used in this experiment to demonstrate the effects of high temperature and chemicals on the permeability of the cell membranes

Planning Aim: - to investigate the effects of different concentrations of alcohol on the membrane structure of a beetroot a) Decide what you think will be the effect of alcohol on beetroot cell surface membranes and how this will affect their permeability. Write down your idea as a hypothesis that you can test‚ and support your idea with biological knowledge. Hypothesis “The greater the concentration of the alcohol the more red pigments (betalains) move into the solution.” Biological knowledge:

In this context‚ vascular permeability drives tumor-induced angiogenesis‚ blood flow disturbances‚ inflammatory cell infiltration‚ and tumor cell extravasation. This can directly restrain the efficacy of conventional therapies by limiting intravenous drug delivery. Indeed‚ for more effective anti-angiogenic therapies‚

It seems to me that we African Americans‚ excuse me‚ Black Africans have lost our sense of culture and ideology behind what we believe to be our sexual nature. In return we have embodied the European and early ignorant southern racist definition of sexuality. Which has led us to being stereotyped as Hypersexual
