Tuberculosis Tuberculosis (TB)‚ also known as consumption‚ is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). TB is the leading cause of death in the world among reported deaths caused by a bacterial infectious disease. The disease affects 1.8 billion people per year‚ which is equal to one-third of the entire world population (Todar). Pulmonary tuberculosis accounts for the majority of the TB cases in the United States (Todar). Bovine tuberculosis is another infectious

as the individuals that they happen to‚ it is safe to say that the responses to changes will be quite varied. There will be individuals who are constantly seeking something new as well as the other end of the spectrum with some people being very resistant to change. All change will be met with some form of resistance which could stem from a lack of trust or a belief that the change is unnecessary or not feasible (Yukl‚ 2006). The issue of trust or lack there of‚ often times‚ develops due to a breakdown

non-sulphur vulcanizing agent for synthetic elastomers. It is used extensively for rapid curing of butyl stocks requiring heat resistance. Butyl of this type is used to fabricate high voltage wire and cable products‚ moulded electric components‚ and heat resistant seals and hose. PQD has also been used as part of the curative system for liquid butyl elastomers. These compounds are formulated as coatings‚ sealants and electrical encapsulants. The proper choice of PQD and a co-curative‚ such as lead dioxide

An ordinary piece of glass shatters when struck by a single bullet. Bullet resistant glass is designed to withstand one or several rounds of bullets depending on the thickness of the glass and the weapon being fired at it. So‚ what gives bullet-resistant glass the ability to stop bullets? It works by a two layers of glass separated by a vinyl acetal sheet then covered in Polycarbonate. (John Shriner‚ 2014)

Chase Sigler‚ a senior double major in chemistry and human biology‚ recently presented the chemistry research he has been working on for the last three semesters at a conference hosted by the American Chemical Society. Jerry Easdon‚ professor of chemistry‚ said around sixteen thousand people typically attend the ACS conference. Close to two thousand of those in attendance are undergraduate‚ Easdon said and “many of them are presenting their senior research at a poster session‚ just like Chase did

impossible to do. For example‚ the gene from a fish that lives in cold seas was inserted into the tomato to make it frost resistant. GM foods offer greater resistance to pests‚ a longer shelf life and higher nutritional value. Research is currently being undertaken to develop drought tolerant crops using genetic engineering. Foods that have already been modified to be resistant to insects and disease are corn‚ wheat‚ rice‚ canola‚ potato‚ soybean and cotton. Whole foods that are GM are not available
