...Kristina Eskola BL 1020 L01 Diffusion and Osmosis Lab Report (Dialysis) Introduction: Dialysis Tubing is a membrane made of regenerated cellulose fibers formed into a flat tube. If two solutions containing dissolved substances of different molecular weights are separated by this membrane, some substances may readily pass through the pores of the membrane, but others may be excluded. We will be investigating the selective permeability of the tubing to reduce sugar, glucose, starch, and iodine potassium iodide. We will test this by placing a solution of glucose and starch into a dialysis tubing bag and then place this bag into a solution of iodine potassium iodide (I2KI). Prediction: The I2KI solution will turn blue when adding Benedict’s reagent. Hypothesis: The solution of water and I2KI will be the most permeable because they will mix and react with Benedict’s reagent and the heat so the cell membrane only allows certain molecules to enter and leave the cell Materials and Methods: In the experiment we will be using two tests. In the first test, we will be using I2KI to test for the presence of starch. When I2KI is added to an unknown solution, the solution will turn purple or black if starch is present. If there is no starch in the solution, it will remain pale yellow. In the second test we will be using Benedict’s test for reducing sugar. When Benedict’s reagent is added to an unknown solution and the solution is heated, it will turn green, orange or orange-red...

...Animal Nutrition Lab Reports FdSc: Animal Health and Welfare STE09288743 Practical 1 - Determination of the ash content of foods Introduction Foodstuffs are divided into five categories; crude protein – the total level of nitrogen in a feed, ether extract – the total fat content of a feed, nitrogen free extract – the soluble carbohydrate in a feed, crude fibre - cellulose, fibre with nitrogen attached & alkali insoluble lignin and total ash content – an indication of the mineral content of feeds. The aim of this report is to try and find out the total ash content of Wainwrights Adult Complete Dog Food With Duck And Rice through a food analysis method and compare the amount found with what the original packaging states. Mclements (2003) explains that “ash is the inorganic residue remaining after the water and organic matter have been removed by heating in the presence of oxidizing agents, which provides a measure of the total amount of minerals within a food.” It’s important for the correct amount of ash to be in a dog’s diet because as Professional Pet Foods (2013) explain, “excess ash will contribute excess minerals to the diet, potentially leading to health problems.” Method This method can be used for all types of food containing less than 50% fat, it allows for the determination of the mineral content of foodstuffs. In this process, the samples temperature is taken to 550°C to ensure all organic matter is...

Please help improve this article by adding reliable references. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (January 2009) | Paclitaxel (Taxol) is a natural product derived from the Yew tree.[1] A natural product is a chemical compound or substance produced by a living organism - found in nature that usually has a pharmacological or biological activity for use in pharmaceutical drug discovery and drug design. A natural product can be considered as such even if it can be prepared by total synthesis. These small molecules provide the source or inspiration for the majority of FDA-approved agents and continue to be one of the major sources of inspiration for drug discovery. In particular, these compounds are important in the treatment of life-threatening conditions.[2] Contents[hide] * 1 Natural sources * 2 Screening of natural products * 2.1 The plant kingdom * 2.2 The microbial world * 2.3 The marine world * 2.4 Animal sources * 2.5 Venoms and toxins * 3 Traditional Medicine * 4 Isolation and purification * 5 Synthesis * 6 See also * 7 References * 8 External links * 9 Further reading | [edit] Natural sources Natural products may be extracted from tissues of terrestrial plants, marine organisms or microorganism fermentation broths.

...Soldering Air Quality Hazards and Solutions William G. Nicholson U.S. Air Force Abstract Air quality has become questionable with recent increased production and soldering procedures conducted by the Avionics Intermediate Systems Shop at Charleston Air Force Base. With an unknown quality level of air within the soldering area there is a need for a sample to be taken and options to be considered to improve the working environment. Even though the air sample may reveal that levels are under threshold levels, the simple fact that employees are uncomfortable doing the task may warrant solutions as if the sample was above limits. Those changes would not be required by anyone outside of the Air Force, but would be considered based on employee well-being. This research paper will reveal the findings of the air quality sample, the methods of testing, and countermeasures intent on improving air quality. Most research has concluded that the soldering flux is the real contaminate and that the lead based solder does not become airborne during the process; which is exciting in the fact that expanded measures are not needed to account for lead. There are many solutions available to correct the air quality and this paper will assess the most applicable and cost effective. Keywords: soldering, flux, rosin-core, air quality, ventilation Soldering Air Quality Hazards and Solutions The current set-up for soldering avionics component parts has questionable ventilation to account...

...IMPLEMENTATION OF ENERGY EFFICIENCT AND RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES TOWARDS ACHIEVING ZERO ENERGY BUILDINGS ABSTRACT As the energy consumption, industrial production and automobile usage around the world increases gradually, the efforts to meet the steadily increasing energy demand would leave the environment devastated. Traditional buildings consume as much as 40% of the primary energy consumed worldwide and are major contributors for greenhouse gases. Hence, with the intention of reducing the energy usage which reduces the environmental pollution energy efficient measures have been introduced. The goal of these measures is to decrease the energy use of the building substantially and provide the building's energy needs with on-site renewable energy supply like Photovoltaics. This results in a concept called Net zero energy buildings or Zero Energy Buildings. Zero energy building (ZEB) is a building with zero energy consumption i.e., it consumes only the amount of energy generated by the renewable power on the building site. NZEBs produce zero carbon emissions annually as various renewable energy technologies are deployed on the building site. This paper addresses the energy efficient measures that can be implemented to cut down the power consumption. The energy efficient features implemented in ZEBs for energy savings is justified with a case study. I. INTRODUCTION The environmental effects that Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions across countries at different levels...

...UTAR FHSC1214 Fundamentals of Cell Biology Trimester 1 How YOU can do well in BIOLOGY Follow the 4A’s and you can expect A’s. A ttitude • Attend ALL lectures, tutorials and practicals on time without fail. • Be attentive in class and revise your notes after class while the topic is still fresh in your mind. Why waste time re-reading 2-3 months later? • Do your assignments faithfully as they carry marks for the finals. • Come prepared for lessons (i.e. read up beforehand). • Read up beforehand before attending lectures so that you won’t be lost and wasted hours of your life week after week. • Why stress yourself out if you can avoid it? Do NOT count on last minute revision for tests and examinations, as it will be too late to catch up and seek help in areas where you may find confusing or unclear of. • Why panic before exams because you can’t find this or that? Keep separate files for lecture, tutorial and practical. File up the respective notes systematically so that you do not lose them along the semester. • Do you expect the lecturer/ tutor to be available all the time to answer your questions? It is YOUR responsibility to take the initiative to clear your doubts or satisfy your curiosity to understand certain scientific phenomena by reading up on the relevant topics. A Based on a true story… A professor at the National University of Singapore recounts how on one occasion a student consulted him days before the exam. Student:...
