Michael Sims Instructor: Baxter NT1110 Unit 11 Lab: Research Project Cyber Crime In 1969‚ the first message‚ “login”‚ was sent over ARPANET‚ the predecessor of today’s internet (Kleinrock‚ 2008). ARPANET was designed as a communication system that would allow researchers to access information from other researcher’s computers around the country‚ therefore allowing information to flow more freely (Kleinrock‚ 2008). Computers and the internet have

The decision of a laparoscopic liver surgery or open liver surgery is based on the location and size of the tumor. Laparoscopic (minimally invasive) liver resection can be performed through three of four small keyhole-sized incisions in the abdomen to remove the tumor whether they are benign or malignant. The patient experiences lesser pain and scarring as compared to the traditional open liver resection and can be discharged earlier‚ approximately in two to three days after the procedure. Standard

“Liver transplant ethics: Should alcoholics be sober first? Toronto woman whose husband died in 2010 plans to launch charter challenge”. CBC News. 28 January 2015 This story appeared on the CBC news website‚ some of the questions and points this article raises are: • Should alcoholics be required to abstain from drinking for six months before they are eligible for a liver transplant in Ontario? • Does the six-month abstinence contradict the charter and Canadians’ right to universal access to

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

Abstract: This lab tests how temperature and pH affect how enzymes will function. The lab showed that temperature will denature an enzyme when past its optimal working temperature and won’t denature in cold temperatures‚ but have slowed molecular activity. pH will also have an affect on an enzymes efficiency‚ when out of optimal pH the enzyme will not function as it is supposed to and if to far out of the optimal pH the enzyme will change shape and no longer work. Enzymes also showed to be reusable

Experiments investigating the effect of a particular factor on an enzyme-catalysed reaction are commonly used as assessed practicals in Biology. The reason for this is there are a number of factors that can be investigated‚ and therefore‚ a number of factors that can also be controlled. From our lecture‚ we are aware that the following can affect the rate of reaction: 1) Temperature: a. Independent variable: A range of temperatures should be investigated‚ with particular attention

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

ABSTRACT: Two separate variables were hypothesized and tested within the confines of the experiment on their effects on the productivity of lactase enzyme. The measurement of light absorbance levels of different solutions based on both the concentration of o-nitrophenol (ONP) as well as the pH of the solution tested. To begin with‚ differing concentrations of ONP were tested to find the absorbance levels of ONP. Three different pH values‚ 5‚ 6‚ and 7‚ in solution‚ were tested over a period of 8
