An Investigation in Monoclonal Antibodies Meena Henen Introduction One of the major medical concerns of the century has been finding a cure for cancer. Scientists have made progress in solving the cancer puzzle with the innovation of procedures such as chemotherapy and various scanning methods‚ but no one has yet found a definite solution. Possibly the newest discovery in the cancer field has been monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Nicknamed “magic bullets‚” mAbs have

Crime Scene Investigation Abstract Documentation of the crime scene starts with the first responder and does not conclude until the scene is released and the evidence has been impounded. Physical evidence comes in all shapes and sizes‚ and there are multiple search patterns that are used to identify evidence. These patterns include line/strip search (used by one or two investigators who walk in straight lines across the crime scene) this method is best used in scenes where the boundaries are

The crime scene examination and subsequent search should be done in a careful and methodical manner. After talking to the officer(s) who were the first ones on the scene and learning from them of any changes that might have been made to the scene since their arrival‚ such as turning lights on or off or opening doors or windows‚ start the examination by working your way into the body using great care to avoid disturbing or destroying any evidence as you do. Carefully observe the floor or ground surrounding

aerobic respiration in plants and animals e.g. germinating seeds and mealworms Bio Experiment : Comparing Rate of respiration in mealworms at different temperatures? Mealworms are cold-blooded animals and are unable to maintain a constant core temperature‚ hence respiration would therefore change with temperature. As glucose is oxidised‚ oxygen is used up and carbon dioxide and heat energy is produced. Increment in temperature / production of CO2 or O2 consumption would hence be good indicators

Lineups in criminal investigations has been the traditional form of identification for putting the focus on a specific suspect in a criminal case. Law enforcement agencies typically use three different types of lineups: field lineup‚ photographic lineup‚ and physical lineup. Field lineups take place shortly after a commission of a crime and the officers a have a suspect in custody and an eye-witness that is whiling to identify the suspect. The witness goes to the suspect’s location and asked if the

Biology coursework The aim of this experiment is to investigate the affect of pH on the enzyme amylase. The amylase is used to break down the polysaccharide starch. Amylase is a digestive enzyme classified as a saccharidase (an enzyme that cleaves polysaccharides). It is mainly a constituent of pancreatic juice and saliva‚ needed for the breakdown of long-chain carbohydrates (such as starch) into smaller units. Amylase is also synthesized in the fruit of many plants during ripening‚ causing them
