Stem Cells and the Future of Developmental Medicine Stem cells have a remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. Stem cells undergo processes to form new types of cells which can have a specialized function. According to this function‚ lives could be saved by the formation of new tissues and organs. Some of the specialized cells are muscle cells‚ brain cells or blood cells. Although stem cell research is debatable due to moral concerns

NANOTECHNOLOGY 1. ABSTRACT: Nanotechnology as the name suggests is derived from two words-nano meaning small and technology meaning the science and engineering so it may be defined as the science and engineering at scale of atoms and molecules. Nanotechnology involves materials so small (1 to 100 nanometers in size) that they exhibit unique properties. The goal of nanotechnology research is to understand unique properties of nanosized particles and use that knowledge to create new‚ high performance

Fuel is one of the important resources in our society. We use the fuels to support our living‚ produce electricity‚ heat homes‚ and operate machinery. Since the fuel is a limited resource‚ the fuel scarcity will be a big issue in the future. The price of the gasoline is currently on the rise. NASCAR cut the volume of fuel cell from twenty gallons to thirteen gallons each car. There is a high demand for a new energy. After the issue of fuel crisis was brought up‚ the society started to be interested

AGRICULTURE & DEVELOPMENT Agriculture is in many parts of the world is the main source of food and income of households. The role that agriculture plays in development has been debated during the last decades and the views about it are very diverse. Today‚ many authors consider agriculture as an essential factor for development and an important instrument for poverty alleviation. In my opinion access to land and water is an indispensable condition to ensure the livelihood of the poor. The current

Evaluation of impacts and developments of nanotechnology During the past quarter of century nanotechnology is one of most commonly known and developing science in the world. Sobolev (2005 p. 14) asserts that nanotechnology is the next industrial revolutionary science‚ which leads physics‚ chemistry and biology scientist to control and manipulate matter at extremely small scale‚ even at the level of molecules and atoms. Sahoo (2006 p. 21) defines nanotechnology as a science of manipulation‚ characterization

Study of Water Purification Methods Water is the most essential component of life on Earth. In the United States‚ the average person uses about 75 gallons per day of freshwater. Most of this water is pre-treated in facilities and comes out of the tap clean and ready for drinking‚ a fact many take for granted. If you are camping and hiking you won’t always have access to this source of healthy‚ potable water. Unfortunately‚ many water sources in the wilderness include microorganisms‚ bacteria
