Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) is a way to measure the sensitivity of microbes to antibiotics or antifungals (antimicrobials). Organisms are tested for growth in various concentrations of antibiotic. This allows microbiologists to see which concentration (MIC) of antimicrobial will be effective against the pathogen. It also used for determining treatment for patients suffering from infections such as pneumonia‚ meningitis‚ endocarditis or osteomyelitis or managing the treatment of high-risk

Measuring the effect of the concentration of caffeine on heartbeats. Caffeine is a stimulant which increases cardiac arrhythmia (improper heart rate) by increasing stress hormone (e.g. adrenaline) secretions. It also increases blood pressure which contributes to the blockage of receptors such as adenosine A1 and A2 receptors. The caffeine blocking receptors also blocks vasodilatory function‚ in which blood vessels become less dilated. Hence wise‚ caffeine is also known as a mild stimulant of the

In “ Did the United States put its own citizens in concentration camps during WWII” the author writes about internment camps in the U.S. In the other article “ Concentration Camps 1933 - 1939” the author writes about Concentration Camps in Germany. Although those were two camps during WWII they still were very different in their people‚ places‚ and events. The first article included a number of people‚ places‚ and events. One group of people in particular were the Japanese ( 112‚00 of them). The

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) and salt have a lot in common‚ including a similar appearance. Both consist of white crystals that can differ in size and both may show up in the same types of dishes. Their similarities do not mean that they are exactly the same or that you can use them interchangeably. In this SPICEOgraphy Showdown‚ we will take a look at how MSG and salt compare to each other. How do MSG and salt differ? MSG is one of many different forms of salt used in cooking. Other forms include

War World 2‚ Concentration Camps During War World 2‚ Hitler authorized the SS‚ after December 1934‚ to be “the only agency authorized to establish and manage factories‚” called concentration camps‚ like Ravensbruck (ushmm.org). These camps were built throughout Germany and the system expanded as the Nazis took over. The system of the camps grew more deadly and affected many camps‚ like Ravensbruck. Ravensbruck was a camp mainly for women‚ and was deadly. In the end of the war‚ Ravensbruck was

Concentration is graphed‚ a straight line will result. The regression line’s equation is used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution once the percent of T has been measured.

FORM CLASS: L6 3 SUBJECT: Biology TITLE: Enzymes AIM: To investigate the effect of substrate concentration on the enzyme amylase INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are perhaps one of the most important proteins of the human body. Enzymes such as amylase‚ an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates‚ work by means of surface catalysis. In other words‚ the surface of the enzyme enables other molecules to react in a manner they would not be able to without

Salt of the Earth: Communist Subversion or Political Activism? Salt of the Earth was released in 1954‚ during the anticommunist McCarthy era by a collection of blacklisted individuals‚ including screenwriter Michael Wilson‚ producer Paul Jarrico‚ and Hollywood 10 director Herbert J. Biberman. Salt is based on the Empire Zinc strike of Local 890 in Bayard County‚ New Mexico that took place from 1950-1952. In many ways‚ Salt of the Earth resembles the archetypal American dream by presenting the
