Down Syndrome 2
Number of words: 474 - Number of pages: 2.... to another
cell. The total number of chromosomes is 46, however the
excess material from the twenty-first chromosome results in the
affects of the syndrome. With translocation, most cases occur
sporadically, with no bearing on maternal age. These two types
of this syndrome are very rare, being responsible for only 6 or
7 percent of all cases.
Children with Down syndrome are at high risk for health
problems. These include congenital heart defects, respiratory
problems, increased suseptibility to infections, and/or
obstructed digestive tracts. Leukemia has a greater frequency
of .....

I.t. Doctors Database Analysis
Number of words: 1175 - Number of pages: 5.... birth e.t.c. However, in an office cabinet it really would not be easy at all to put and keep the files in some sort of alphabetical sequence.
Currently the database is pen-and-paper based, which may be cost effective but is very time-consuming when compared to a computer-based database. Say you have a paper-based database. If one of your clients move house or get married, you would have to create a whole new record because of the altered information. And say it was a family who moved residence, and then after you made the new records the parents got married. It would cause a lot of hassle .....

Integrated Pest Management
Number of words: 457 - Number of pages: 2.... of pest control.
Tactics employed include better tillage to prevent soil erosion and introduction
of beneficial insects that eat harmful species. Many pests that are attached to
crop residues can be eliminated by plowing them underground. Simple paper or
plastic barriers placed around fruit trees deter insects, which can also be
attracted to light traps and destroyed. Weeds can be controlled by spreading
grass, leaf, or black plastic mulch. Weeds also may be pulled or hoed from the
soil.
Many biological controls are also effective. Such insect pests as the European
corn borer, and the .....

Chromosome Probes At The University Of Toronto
Number of words: 726 - Number of pages: 3.... Prenatal
tests using Willard's probes would be much simpler and faster to perform
and could be available to all pregnant women who wish to take advantage of
the technology.
Current prenatal testing involves growing fetal cells in vitro and
examining them, over one or two months, to see if there are two copies of
a particular chromosome, which is normal, or one or three, which is
abnormal. A test using Willard's probes would require only a few cells and
a few days to detect abnormalities. "I don't think it's beyond the realm
of possibility that these kinds of tests could eventually .....

How Technology Effects Modern America
Number of words: 1151 - Number of pages: 5.... categories already exceeds the demand for their services," says L. Mishel, Research Director of Welfare Reform Network.
In view of these facts, I wonder if these trends are good or bad for society. "The danger of the information age is that while in the short run it may be cheaper to replace workers with technology, in the long run it is potentially self-destructive because there will not be enough purchasing power to grow the economy," M. B. Zuckerman. My feeling is that the trend from unskilled labor too highly technical, skilled labor is a good one! But, political action must be ta .....

Influence Of Influenza
Number of words: 926 - Number of pages: 4.... Corona and respitory synctial viruses. This also eliminated the disease obviously effecting the respitory tract and the child's neurology (lethargy and malaise) form being bacterial or fungal, which is common amongst young children.
A number of viruses cause respitory illness similar to the common cold, but are much more severe in intensity and wit frequently serious, and even fatal, complications. The best known of the group is Influenza (flu) virus. It can cause mild symptoms that are indistinguishable from those of the common cold, but in the more easily recognizable form it is u .....

BLACK HOLES
Number of words: 1298 - Number of pages: 5.... gas clouds bind together due to attractive forces and form a hot core, combined from all the energy of the two gas clouds. This energy produced is so great when it first collides, that a nuclear reaction occurs and the gases within the star start to burn continuously. The Hydrogen gas is usually the first type of gas consumed in a star and then other gas elements such as Carbon, Oxygen, and Helium are consumed. This chain reaction fuels the star for millions or billions of years depending upon the amount of gases there are. The star manages to avoid coll .....

Cloning
Number of words: 1846 - Number of pages: 7.... make a
clone, as they do in the cattle buisness, is to split the cells of a early
multi-celled embryo which will form two new embryos (Lawren).
For it to get started into practice it took more than fifty years of
questioning and testing. The first successful cloning experiment involved a
leopard frog. It took place in, 1952 with group of scientist from the
Institute for Cancer Research in Philadelphia (Lawren). To clone the frog they
used an embryonic frog cell nucleus(Margery). 1962, John Gurdon of Cambridge
University cloned a toad that survive threw adulthood and was able to reprod .....

Drugs: Glossary And Definitions
Number of words: 421 - Number of pages: 2.... are thermodynamically stable, optically transparent, isotropic
mixtures of a biphasic oil-water system stabilized with surfactants. The
diameter of droplets in a microemulsion may be in the range of 100 A to 1000 A.
Microemulsion may be formed spontaneously by agitating the oil and water phases
with carefully selected surfactants. The type of emulsion produced depends upon
the properties of the oil and surfactants utilized.
Ointment:
Semisolid preparations intended for topical application. Most ointments are
applied to the skin, although they may also be administered oph .....
