...collect cotton cloth used in the operating rooms or to hold bed linen or clothing of infected patients. Experiment Procedures 1. 100 ml of the 4% poly (vinyl alcohol) is added to a Styrofoam cup. 2. Food coloring can be added to the PVA in the cups to make different colors. Simple food coloring is recommended. 3. Stir the content well with the glass rod or the wooden tongue depressor. 4. Add 10 ml of 4% borax solution to the cup. Begin stirring the mixture vigorously until gelling is complete. This gel is known as ‘slime’. 5. Wearing disposable gloves, remove the slime from the cup and knead it thoroughly to mix the contents completely. Roll the slime around in your hand, gently squeezing the material to remove air bubbles at the same time. Alternatively, place the slime in a plastic bag and mix and squeeze the outside the bag 6. Take some in your hand and stretch the slime slowly. Record your observations on your data sheet. Results and discussion 1. If the slime is pull apart slowly, it can be stretched to a great distance and then it eventually breaks. 2. If its pull apart sharply and quickly, it breaks cleanly into half. 3. The slime has a slight bouncy effect when it is drop on a bench. 4. The slime breaks and flattens. It does not retain its shape. Conclusion The slime is an example of a shear thickening substance where it increases in viscosity when a shear stress is applied. If the slime is left out for a long period...

...Exercise Physiology Lab Lab Questions: Q 1) Which human body system's activity was most affected by exercise? Explain why you think this was the case. A 1) The Human body system's activity that was most affected by exercise was the circulatory system. It was the circulatory system because it was the system that increased the most after exercise. I think this is the case because it had to work the most and it had the most effect on the body. Q 2) Which human body system's activity was least affected by exercise? Explain why you think this is the case. A 2) The human body system's activity that was least affected by exercise was the muscular system. It was the muscular system because it only increased by 9% after exercise. I think this is the case because it didn't have a lasting effect on the body. Q 3) On a separate sheet of paper, please type an essay fully explaining how all of the following concepts are related to each other. Include the necessary equations, name any body systems involved. Effectively, create a story linking all of these terms together. • amount of glucose usage • oxygen intake () • heart rate () • rate of breathing () • number of repetitions of a certain muscular-moving exercise • muscle cramping • rate of ATP production () • carbon Dioxide output () A 3) When you Exercise you notice several things about your body.

...DOH has confirmed that twenty four of these cases share a connecting link to the dietary supplement known as OxyElite Pro. Currently, eleven of the twenty nine cases have been hospitalized with acute hepatitis. Two of the eleven cases have received liver transplants, and one person has died. The FDA is advising consumers to discontinue the use of any dietary supplement products labeled as Oxy Elite Pro, and VERSA-1, until the investigation closes. OxyElite Pro and VERSA-1 are distributed by USP Labs LLC of Dallas, Texas. They are sold nationwide, through an extensive range of distribution networks. USP Labs products can be founds on the internet, as well as retail outlets that sell dietary supplements. Last week, the FDA sent a warning letter to USPlabs saying its OxyElite Pro supplement contained 2 ingredients, aegeline and methylhexanamine, that has no prior history in dietary supplements, and has not been properly tested for safety. Methylhexanamine, also known as DMAA, 3-dimethylamylamine, or geranium extract, is an amphetamine derivative ingredient found illegally in some dietary supplements and often marketed as a “natural” stimulant. The supplement industry claimed it was a natural flower extract that could be used...

...an instruction manual for how to build an individual. One DNA molecule has 23 pairs of chromosomes one from each parent. The 23ed chromosome is what determines your sex, you could either be a female XX, or a male XY. Part of the chapter we did a lap on making our own DNA chain. We had to take our supplies and see what traits we had two off and which one was closest to the lines in yo have that trait. Once you made you match you had to cut them out and put them with the other chain to from your DNA linking them together. Chapter eight is about GMO’s. A GMO is where something in the DNA sequence has been altered by humans. Certain things have been changed by humans. Such things as plants. Plants have been changed to help them last in different weather conditions. Such as drought, the desert, or even climates that don't provide the right weather conditions for them to grow. Now 2 that's just somethings that have been altered. Animals genes as well as things they produce are being changed to help human life.

...clearing blood clots that occur in the heart and the lower extremities. Another useful enzyme for dissolving blood clots that occur as a result of heart attacks is human tissue plasminogen activator (TPA). Recombinant TPA is produced by genetic engineering techniques, using bacteria cultures to produce large quantities of human TPA 3” (Shields). In the first lab assignment about penicillin—How Penicillin Was Discovered, the lesson talked about how mold must be producing a chemical that killed bacteria. Turns out that an enzyme inhibitor used as a drug is penicillin. The way that an enzyme inhibitor acts as a penicillin, is that it will cross-link different “strands of the wall and is catalyzed by the enzyme glycopeptide trans-peptidase. The shape of penicillin resembles that of the normal substrate of glycopeptide trans-peptidase, so that penicillin binds to the active site of the trans-peptidase enzyme. Once bound to the active site, penicillin forms a permanent bond with one of the amino acid residues. This chemical reaction permanently inhibits the glycopeptide trans-peptidase enzyme, thus preventing the trans-peptidase from cross-linking the bacterial wall 3”...

...with subtasks * Establishing task dependencies * Specify lead and lag times A project task list can be as few as 10 or as many as several hundred tasks. With a large project, it can become difficult to locate a specific task. Using MS Project, you can organize the task list by creating a hierarchical structure. This process of structuring a task list is known as outlining. Outlining is used to organize common tasks into groups within the task list. The groups can represent phases of the project. In this lab, we will first use outlining to group the tasks of our project into phases. We will create a main summary task to represent the entire project and then several levels of summary tasks below the main summary task to represent the phases of the project. Creating an Outline 1. Log onto Windows. Open MS Project. 2. Open your project file that you created in Lesson 1, Part A (MyLab1a_XXX.mpp, where XXX are your initials.) 3. Save this file, using Save As, as MyLab1b_XXX.mpp, where XXX are your initials. Creating a hierarchical outline organizes the project tasks list into groups of tasks. Each group of tasks is preceded by a summary task, which describes the tasks within each group. The outline of a project generally begins with a main summary task. The main summary task is a brief description of the project and all tasks are subordinate to the main summary task. This main summary task is also helpful in generation of summary reports...

...TRAINING SUPER USERS IN LARGE HEALTH CARE FACILITIES Journal of Information Technology Management ISSN #1042-1319 A Publication of the Association of Management TRAINING SUPER USERS IN LARGE HEALTH CARE FACILITIES CORINNE M. KARUPPAN SOUTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT Training users to learn a new computer application can be a daunting task in large organizations. One solution involves selecting super users who will receive more extensive training and will serve later as the primary source of help to other users in their work unit. Tailored rather than generic training programs seem better suited to providing these super users with the required knowledge base. This article focuses on learning styles as a basis for tailoring training to super users’ needs. Results of a study conducted in a large health care organization suggest that the popular hands-on approach favors individuals with certain learning styles, as indicated by their higher test scores. Implications for providing effective training more uniformly across all super users are made. INTRODUCTION In order to remain competitive, health care organizations have made huge investments in new computer systems and applications. As a result, it is estimated that, in 1999, 95% of organizations involved in health services had their users trained in new computer applications [6]. Hospitals present a unique opportunity to study the training process under the most taxing conditions: number of employees to...

The selections available to me include: Roles, Features, Diagnostics, Configuration, and Storage. 2. Using the Windows Help option, describe any roles and features that are currently installed on this server. There are currently no Roles or Features installed on the server. 3. Explain in your own words why it is a best practice to configure a server, such as a DNS server, with a static IP address rather than allowing it to obtain an IP address using DHCP. To put it simply, if the IP address of the server is consistently being changed by DHCP, then the ports that were opened up to allow the server to work through the firewall are going to be remain opened on the server’s old address, and not necessarily on the new one. This could cause applications to not run properly or at all, but worse, could create security vulnerabilities for the network. A static IP address allows other workstations on the network to easily keep track of the server. 4. Explore the netsh command menus.

...Question #3: In what respects did the use of fiber evidence in the Wayne Williams trial differ significantly from its use in previous cases? Numerous criminal trials over the years have used fiber evidence. In 1936, the wife of a NBC executive was murdered and the killer caught partly due to fibers from twine used to bind her during the murder. Ted Bundy was convicted of the murder of a 12-year old girl partly due to fibers found in his van. The trial of Wayne Williams, also based on fiber evidence, differed from other cases in several significant ways. From July 1979 to May 1981, thirty black children and young men were reported missing or found dead in the area of Atlanta, Georgia. The Georgia State Crime Lab found yellow-green nylon fibers and violet acetate fibers on the bodies and clothing of victims. The fibers from the different victims were generally similar to each other, linking them to a single source and tying them to one killer. The Wayne Williams case was the first time fiber evidence played a significant role in a case involving a large number of murder victims. An Atlanta newspaper wrote an article about several different fibers being located on the bodies. After the article, bodies located in the Atlanta area rivers were nude or clothed only in underwear. The release of the information caused a change in the way the suspect disposed of bodies, in an apparent effort to eliminate fiber evidence. Media attention appeared to result in a change in pattern of...

...training in the early 1980s, Gokhan Hotamisligil was working on a unique tumor case on a patient and found they were comprised primarily of fat cells. The fatty tumors were due to a rare condition, Proteus Syndrome. Working in the field of metabolic regulation Hotamisligil began to explore the underlying pathways for insulin resistance. In his dissertation he discovered that the fat tissue of obese animals and humans were capable of producing inflammatory mediators. His research helped shape the current view of fat tissue as a “discrete, active organ in its own right, continuously exchanging messages with the rest of the body by way of the bloodstream.” By early 2002 Hotamisligil and his laboratory made several groundbreaking discoveries linking inflammation, to obesity, diabetes, and related cardiovascular problems. Hotamisligil’s publications have appeared numerous times in all of the major scientific journals, including Nature and Science. In 2004, Hotamisligil was able to demonstrate that excess fat, by itself can cause stress signals and medical problems. In the field of metabolic health and disease it is clear that Hotamisligil has played an extremely important role in its development, with his numerous contributions and many publications in the field. Since starting his career back in the 80s he helped to shape the modern view of metabolic health and took important steps towards understanding underlying causes of Type 2 diabetes and metabolic disease. 2.

...Lab #1 “Who has the same solid that I have?” Abstract Different Physical and chemical tests were performed on 10 numbered unknown solids and the results of all tests were compared as a class to try and determine which groups had the same unknown solids based on similarities in properties. It was found that my given unknown solid #11 shared similar properties with the unknown solid #1. A side by side analysis of the reactivity test in which Hydrochloric acid (HCI), lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was added to three separate samples of the compounds unknown #1 and #11 aqueous solutions. The results for both unknowns were identical, leading to the conclusion that my unknown solid #11 was the same unknown solid as #1. Introduction When conducting research it is important to be comfortable communicating your results with other researchers so that they can be further analyzed and compared with the results of other research experiments. Another large part of conducting research is to be comfortable determining, describing and comparing chemical and physical properties of compounds. Many compounds can look very similar, but have drastically different chemical properties, so it is important to know which tests can be performed on a compound to help determine what it is, or what it is not. In this experiment 2 sets of six unknown solid compounds were put into small jars and labeled with the numbers 1-12, numbers 4, 6 and 8 were not used. Each lab group was given...
