“Test-Tube Burgers” One summer when taking a trip to a friends country house for a weekend I took on the challenge of being a vegetarian. My friend‚ an only child‚ had been raised a vegetarian by parents who were also vegetarians; never once in his life had he eaten meat. Although the family was tolerant of whatever I did‚ I decided this was an opportunity to try it for myself and see what it would be. At the end of the few days I found it quite easy‚ although in reality I did not consume nearly

In exploring how everyday practices have national resonance‚ many anthropologists and others have considered how consumerism can put `the nation in the hands of ordinary people’‚ as Kemper concisely puts it. But how do consumer products have `national resonance’? What sorts of connections are made between people and products such that this relation may have national resonance? Consumerism is a stage for the expression of identity. Individuals consume according to their ideas of personal identity

Nursing Care of the T-Tube after Cholecystectomy Also called a biliary draining tube. May be placed in the common bile duct after cholecystectomy or choledochostomy. The tube facilitates biliary drainage during healing. The surgeon inserts the short end (crossbar) into the common bile duct and draws the long end through an incision in the skin. The tube is then connected to a closed gravity drainage system. Post-operatively it remains in place between 7 to 14 days. Equipment Graduated collection

The benefit verses the effect of fetal Magnetic Resonance Imaging has been a controversial subject for years. Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a helpful tool for diagnosis of many diseases and abnormalities‚ but is it actually harmful to the fetus? Do the benefits of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging outweigh the risks? Ultrasound is the mostly commonly used imaging used in pregnancy‚ but in certain cases using fetal Magnetic Resonance Imaging in conjunction with ultrasound is very beneficial in planning

Carbon nanotube 1 Carbon nanotube Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure. Nanotubes have been constructed with [1] length-to-diameter ratio of up to 132‚000‚000:1‚ significantly larger than for any other material. These cylindrical carbon molecules have unusual properties‚ which are valuable for nanotechnology‚ electronics‚ optics and other fields of materials science and technology. In particular‚ owing to their extraordinary thermal conductivity

Recently a scientist by the name of Mark Post helped create a “test tube” beef burger. The burger was grown in a solution of nutrients and cost about 330‚000 dollars to make. The burger was created by taking muscle cells from a cow and growing them into tissue. The meat had to be dyed to make it look like real beef. The meat contains no fat and is disease free. The meat was made in the Netherlands at Maastricht University. It was served to two volunteers and was flavored with egg powder and bread

Next we added mossy zinc to the first test tubes‚ Sn granules to the second and Cu filings to the third and compared the rates of evolution of hydrogen gas in each test tube. 2.1.2. We mixed 3mL of 0.02 M KMnO4 and 2mL of 3 M H2SO4 in a test tube and stirred using a glass rod. Next‚ we divided the solution into two. We added 2mL of 0.03 M Na2C2O4 solution to the first half and
