SCARS THAT WON’T HEAL: THE NEUROBIOLOGY OF CHILD ABUSE By Martin H. Teicher 68 In 1994 Boston police were shocked to discover a malnourished four-year-old locked away in a filthy Roxbury apartment‚ where he lived in dreadfully squalid conditions. Worse‚ the boy’s tiny hands were found to have been horrendously burned. It emerged that his drug-abusing mother had held the child’s hands under a steaming-hot faucet to punish him for eating her boyfriend’s food‚ despite her instructions

As a result of this‚ new areas have evolved such as bioinorganic chemistry and bioorganic chemistry. In this section we will talk about an important concept in bioinorganic chemistry called “Metallobiomolecules”. Metallobiomolecules 2.3. Electron Transfer Proteins 2.3.1. Cytochromes 2.3.2.

that can be met by conventional energy sources. The solution to long term energy source is the nuclear powered batteries which have a life span of few decades and can pack in energy densities thousands of time greater than conventional battery sources. Hence‚ there is an urgent need to harvest enormous amount of energy released naturally by the tiny bits of radioactive material. Unlike conventional nuclear power generating devices‚ these batteries do not rely on the fission or fusion reactions and

Nuclear Energy There are many advantages and disadvantages of using nuclear power. Nuclear power is said to prevent power outages that happen in areas without nuclear power. For an example‚ if we were using hydroelectricity and the dam suddenly malfunctions‚ then we won’t have electricity until someone fixes the dam‚ and that would be difficult if it happened in the middle of the night. However‚ on the other hand‚ nuclear power is also considered toxic and it pollutes the Earth with harmful and

4) TRANSFER OF PROPERTY IN GOODS AS BETWEEN SELLER AND BUYER & RISK The property in the goods is defined to be transferred from the seller to the buyer when the latter acquires the proprietary rights over the goods and the obligations linked thereto. ’Property in Goods’ which means the ownership of goods‚ is different from possession of goods which means the physical custody or control of the goods. Otherwise ‚ a person may be in possession the goods passes to the buyer because of the consequences

NUCLEAR REACTORS A nuclear reactor is a device to initiate and control a sustained nuclear chain reaction. Nuclear reactors are used at nuclear power plants for electricity generation and in propulsion of ships. Heat from nuclear fission is passed to a working fluid (water or gas)‚ which runs through turbines. These either drive a ship’s propellers or turn electrical generators. Nuclear generated steam in principle can be used for industrial process heat or for district heating. Some reactors are

Nuclear Chemistry Imagine the majority of Earth being quarantined off and people having to live in specified areas to avoid harmful radiation that originated from nuclear energy/waste. The integration of nuclear energy/medicine is largely controversial among people. Every side to the argument has its benefits as well as its negative consequences. Nuclear energy should not be used in society because of the threat it poses to thousands of people. In contrast‚ nuclear medicine has positive aspects that

Depending on the cancer that one may have cancer cells have more chromosomes that are scattered which is for why cancer cells are formed. In cell division all living things obtain cells in which come from other preexisting cells. If normal cells are do not divide and make new cells then cancer will occur. In order of all cells to be
