This work is focused on evaluation of the potential anticancer effect of a kola nut extract on the human immortalized myelogenous leukemia line (K562) and the human immortalized line of T-lymphocyte cells (Jurkat). The objectives of this research are as follows: 1- Does kola nut extract inhibit leukemia? 2- Does the growth in inhibition induced by kola nut extract fellow a dose- and time- dependent response? 3- Does kola nut extract induce apoptosis or necrosis? 4- Which cell line‚ a K562 or Jurkat

Objective In this experiment the purpose is to study the period of the pendulum with different masses. Secondly to also study the relationship in the different lengths of the string and how it affects the period. Thirdly to find the different (time) periods in the changes in the arc size. Theory If the pendulum is set ‚ the force of the motion is used to swing back and forth . where the t period is the time the pendulum takes to complete a cycle of oscillation.

I have come up with an experiment to test the 3 variables to figure out what treatments if any will work the best. My hypothesis is that all 3 of the suggestive treatments when done before flying on an airplane‚ will reduce the effects of jet lag.
