Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects the endocrine system‚ and occurs when your blood glucose‚ also known as blood sugar‚ is too high. Disease is a very common and serious disease that affects approximately 29.1 million people in the U.S.‚ let alone the 86 million people that have prediabetes‚ without even noticing it‚ (MedicineNet.com). To understand diabetes‚ it is important to understand the role of insulin and glucose in the body. Glucose‚ or sugar‚ is an important source of energy for

Three Month Treasury Bills and The Variables That Affect the Rates Abstract This paper attempts to create two models that can predict fluctuations in three-month US Treasury Bill yields. Using both simple and multiple regression analysis‚ we analyze the independent variables traditionally associated with risk free U.S. money market interest rates including the Consumer Price Index‚ the Industrial Production Index‚ and the Unemployment rate over two periods‚ July 1990-March 2001 and March 2001-December

My Investigation on osmosis Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion. While diffusion can describe the movement of any kind of molecule‚ osmosis is only about the movement of water molecules. To show this diffusion I will be using potato discs‚ of the same size and mass‚ in different concentrations of sugar solution to find out whether the mass of the discs increases or decreases depending on the concentration. I predict that when the sugar solution is 0% the mass will increase as there is

and if having an alcoholic in your family can affect the family’s future and feelings about alcohol as a whole in anyway. I chose this topic because I grew up with my dad being an alcoholic. I still remember knowing what was going on throughout the process of it. He unfortunately died when I was young‚ he was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. From my personal experience having an alcoholic in the family did affect my whole family‚ and still affects me to this day. I remember it having a big effect

Does Gender Affect Color Preference? Abstract The objective of this experiment was to determine if gender plays a role in color preference. In other words‚ do males actually prefer blue and green‚ while females favor pink or purple? This experiment was conducted by surveying ninety-six people‚ 48 males and 48 females‚ to complete a short survey. The survey asked them if they were color blind and whether they were male or female. They were then given five color cards (blue

membrane OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of concentration of blackcurrant squash on osmosis in chipped potatoes. INTRODUCTION: In biology‚ osmosis is defined as the diffusion of solvent molecules (usually water molecules) across a semi-permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration. Osmosis is of great importance in biological processes where the solvent is water. The transport

How do limiting factors affect the rate of photosynthesis? Rate is the measurement of an amount of product or time. In the case of the rate of photosynthesis‚ it is measuring the gain of mass or growth over time. If the plant is an aquatic one that grows in water the rate of photosynthesis can be measured by counting oxygen bubbles or the volume of gas produced in a measured time period. A limiting factor is something that is present in the environment that has a short supply and because of that

How Divorce Affects Children Divorce not only affects a couple that is seeking a divorce‚ but the children as well. Divorce is hurting American children very badly. Each year over a million children suffer the divorce of their parents and by 1999‚ half of all American children reaching their eighteenth birthday and who were born to married parents will have experienced the divorce of their parents. The devastating effects of divorce on children just might provide leaders with the motivation

We only had the potatoes in their solutions for 20 minutes instead of the normal 30 minutes which could mean that the potatoes did not go through the whole process of osmosis. Also‚ a lot of the experiment was rushed as we were under pressure to finish as quickly as possible. Unfortunately the time constraint was caused by and outside influence unrelated to the lab itself‚ and so next time we could do a lab under normal

defense against this epidemic due to being one of the poorest nations with limited healthcare. Haiti has the highest adult HIV occurrence and the rate is 2.2% twice the level of the Dominican Republic. The rate of HIV progression was twice as high due to problems such as poor nutrition‚ high prevalence of community-acquired infections‚ and high rates of active TB. There was an increase in sexual violence against women and gang rape. HIV spread rapidly in Haiti with women as the epidemic started
