Nutrition Research Task – Year 10 Pass Carbohydrate loading is a strategy involving changes to training and nutrition that can maximise muscle glycogen stores prior to endurance competition. The technique was originally developed in the late 1960’s and typically involved a 3-4 day ’depletion phase’ involving 3-4 days of hard training plus a low carbohydrate diet. This depletion phase was thought to be necessary to stimulate the enzyme glycogen synthase. This was then followed immediately by

BIO-PSYCHOSOCIAL MODEL OF HEALTH AND ILLNESS INTRODUCTION The medical model has been the predominant approach used by physicians in diagnosing and management of diseases and illness in most Western countries. The biomedical model of illness and healing focuses on purely biological factors‚ and excludes psychological‚ environmental‚ and social influences. According to this model‚ good health is the freedom from pain‚ disease‚ or defect. It focuses on physical processes that affect health‚ such as the biochemistry

There is a growing trend of overweight people living in America. This is nothing new however‚ overseas American’s are known for being "fat" and "lazy"‚ and for the most part it is hard to argue otherwise. American’s being overweight has become such a common trend‚ that when I walk down the street‚ and happen to see a overweight person‚ I don’t even consider them as being overweight anymore‚ because it has become commonplace‚ and obese American’s may get a look here and there but for the most part

PROTEIN TRANSLATION 1. Initiation Translation To begin translation: large and small ribosomal subunit‚ along with the initiating tRNA‚ assembles onto the mRNA 2. Translation Elongation The next amino acyl-tRNA enters the ribosome at the A site The amino acid at the P site is transferred to the tRNA at the A site. The ribosome moves one codon farther along the mRNA‚ releasing the empty tRNA through the E (exit) site. The A site is free for the next incoming RNA. The cycle is repeated as the

The function of fiber in the body is to help with gastrointestinal health and cholesterol-lowering benefits. Fiber is also an important role in seven other essential nutrients that the body needs to have. Some food sources of dietary fiber are wheat‚ rye‚ oats‚ beans‚ peas are some of the main foods that provide good fiber that can benefit people. Fruits and vegetables are better sources of fiber‚ but people would have to eat more of these foods in order to equal the fiber contributions of beans

The Living Fiber For centuries man has gratefully accepted the protective qualities of wool. By the carefully crossbreeding of sheep‚ he has developed fibers of different lengths‚ diameters‚ and various degrees of softness and crispness. Wool is almost custom-made by nature to fit the needs of man. In its processing and manufacture‚ man takes up where sheep left off. But while new processes and treatments have made wool more versatile in its uses‚ man has not improved the fiber itself. Wool

Dietary fiber is several plant materials that the body is unable to digest. Fiber is important for the digestive system and lowering cholesterol. Fiber is divided into two categories: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber can dissolve in water which forms a gel-like substance. Soluble fiber has been connected with increased diet quality and a decrease in the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Some foods that are high in soluble fiber include: oatmeal‚ legumes‚ strawberries‚ apples and barley. Insoluble

Proteins are also essential nutrients for the human body. They are important in body tissue‚ and can also serve as a fuel source. Every cell in the human body contains protein. The basic structure of protein is a chain of amino acids. We need protein in our diet to help our body to repair cells and make new ones. The human body needs a lot of amino acids to maintain good health. Protein is also important for growth and development in children‚ teens‚ and pregnant women. Proteins are polymer chains

Optical Fiber Communication Course Code-MCS-616 1. Draw a diagram to approaches of optical communication. 2. Draw a block diagram of Light wave application areas. 3. Why do we use fiber computing? State the characteristics of optical fiber communication. Why we Use Optics for Computing? One of the theoretical limits on how fast a computer can function is given by Einstein’s principle that “signal cannot propagate

Fiber Optics Assignment Many modern medical materials and equipment work on a principle which is beyond the capacity of human transducers. Comment and discuss the working principles of an endoscope‚ uteroscope or a rectoscope showing the illuminating path‚ the image path‚ transmission path and the liquid transfer or operating instrument ducts‚ showing the position of suitable valves. This will therefore explain how light travels through an optical fibre and show how such
