Yellow Fever: Why the Shortage of Vaccines Should ‘Bug’ You Yellow fever - a tropical acute viral haemorrhagic disease - is a substantial burden that nearly a billion people in the world are currently vulnerable to. This disease is caused by a flavivirus that is transmitted via the bite of infected mosquitos. The name ‘yellow fever’ holds true to symptoms that are commonly associated with those infected which include jaundice‚ otherwise known as yellowing‚ of the skin and sclera due to liver damage

Although the repeal of the Corn Laws is one of the most studied questions in 19th century tariff politics‚ its historical interpretations are still disputable today. The repeal of the Corn Laws is historically relevant because of “its alleged significance as an indication of the waning of aristocratic domination of British politics” (McKeown 1989: 353). Historiography has to solve the following empirical puzzle: in 1846 Charles Villiers (a leading member of the Anti-Corn Law League in parliament)

alpha-amylase enzyme with starch substrate and establish the optimum temperature and pH for this reaction. The optimum temperature and pH for the reaction of alpha-amylase and starch was predicted to be a temperature of 50°C and a pH of 5. The optimum temperature and pH for the reaction was determined by monitoring the reaction rate of alpha-amylase at different temperatures and pH’s by means of using a spectrophotometer to measure the disappearance (in absorbance) of the substrate starch. As a result‚ the

After a certain amount of time- different amount of time needs to be used in order to have reliable results- iodine is added in a well on spot plates‚ then two drops of the mixture of amylase-starch is added from

Amylase is an enzyme‚ Enzymes‚ also called catalysts‚ are in living things and there are thousand of them. Enzymes break down food by the active site on the Enzyme forming a chemical bond with a substrate and then water attacks the substrate until it is hydrolysed (split in 2).

A Comparison of the Effects of Three GM Corn Varieties on Mammalian Health Bs Biology 1-1 Dr. Arsenio Abstract We present for the first time a comparative analysis of blood and organ system data from trials with rats fed three main commercialized genetically modified (GM) maize (NK 603‚ MON 810‚ MON 863)‚ which are present in food and feed in the world. NK 603 has been modified to be tolerant to the broad spectrum herbicide Roundup and thus contains residues of this formulation. MON 810 and

Corn‚ beyond doubt‚ is one of the biggest stories in human history. The “ruler” of the entire American food chain is corn. From farmyards to supermarkets‚ countless types of food ingredients and even forage are corn-derived. In 2007‚ the States alone produced 13 billion bushels of corn. Such massive reap is attributed to corn-farm subsidies by the government‚ a “legacy” of the Great Depression which gives corn an unnatural edge over other kinds of crops. The policy is‚ in fact‚ skewed in favor of
