A molecular method for identifying Calicophoron infecting cattle in South Africa Lavinia Perumal School of Biological Sciences and Conservation‚ University of KwaZulu-Natal‚ Westville‚ Durban. Email:209512772@ukzn.ac.za Abstract Calicophoron species were collected from the ruminants of cattle from a Kokstad abattoir in South Africa. The second internal transcribed spacer (ITS-2) of the ribosomal DNA had been used as the genetic marker in this molecular study. In an attempt to identify as

The San Andreas Fault and its role in Plate Tectonics and Earthquake Prediction The San Andreas Fault is one of the most widely studied faults in the world. Scientists use an array of methods in collecting data and providing analysis of fault characteristics both past and present. Presently there are many differing hypothesis and models used to describe crustal movements and deformation within the Pacific and North American plate boundary. Historical earthquakes along this fault have proven to be

The Verification of the Molecular Formula and Percent Composition of the Compound Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Nice sounding title Date Performed Lab: 8/31/06 Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to confirm the chemical formula of magnesium oxide by comparing the masses of pure magnesium solid prior to any reaction and magnesium oxide solid after a reaction between all of the magnesium and oxygen from the air when heated from a Bunsen burner in a crucible. Using molar masses of both magnesium and

the term "obesity" pretty easily these days. In a world so often focused on losing weight and being thin‚ anyone with a few extra pounds on them may end up being called "obese." Yet‚ if a doctor’s tests determine that you are obese‚ you need to be aware of the health risks that obesity can produce. But there are more factors besides weight that determine your health. People can be different shapes‚ sizes‚ and weights due to culture‚ genetics‚ or preference. Obviously not everyone is thin‚ not everyone

Constructing Plant Phylogeny Based on Morphological Characteristics and Molecular Data Phylogeny is the study of evolutionary relationships among groups of living and extinct organisms on earth (Campbell et al.‚ 2011). To show evolutionary relationships‚ a phylogenetic tree (a visual representation of the lineages among organisms) is constructed. All phylogenetic trees are hypotheses that are to be tested‚ modified‚ and tested again. One type of tree‚ known as a

Objective: To determine relative molecular mass of a soluble base‚ X2 CO3 by carrying out an acid-base titration with the following reaction ‚ knowing the amount of hydrochloric acid used and the amount of substance Z used. Hypothesis: The X in substance Z is a group 1 element because substance Z is a soluble metal carbonate and would most likely be sodium or potassium because these elements are commonly used. Materials 100 cm3 beaker‚ 250 cm3 beaker‚ 250 cm3 volumetric flask with stopper

minimum weight be required for models? When we have a job that we love‚ we want to keep it no matter what. That’s understandable‚ but we have to be careful how far we actually go in order to keep it. There are things much more important than any job in the world like our health. Even for those who’s jobs‚ looks are everything. We all want to look our best at all time‚ especially if we are in the modeling business. There have been many issues with models and their ways of losing weight. These models

into the doctor for a regular check-up‚ she told me I was overweight which caused me to have high blood pressure. I never thought or did anything about it because I figured it was the muscle from athletics and weightlifting. The motivation to lose my weight came from several moments. Whether it was looking at a magazine‚ on vacation‚ or on television‚ I always saw a fit‚ trim‚ muscular people. I decided it was time to shape up.
