Proposal for Use of Pseudostem from Banana Tree (Musa cavendish) D. G. FERIOTTI & A. M. IGUTI Maua Institute of Technology, Sao Caetano do Sul, Brazil (danygf85@yahoo.com.br) ABSTRACT This paper presents a proposal for use of pseudostem from the banana tree (Musa cavendish). After banana harvesting, the pseudostems are cut and left in the fields. In order to add value to banana plantation, the pseudostem could be processed into products. Nowadays, the pseudostem fiber has been used mainly

sunscreens do not protect against it, UVA is one of the reasons there are so many cases of melanoma in the world today. This project was designed to test a specific sunscreen that claimed it was protective against UVA, and test this sunscreen. Fifteen Petri-dishes of yeast were split up into groups of five, only two of the three groups being radiated, and only one group protected by sunscreen (for control purposes), was tested to see if the sunscreen was actually UVA protectant. An 18 in., UVA emitting

Eye Color of Drosophila: Sex Linked or Autosomal? Research Question: Is the eye color of drosophila a sex linked or autosomal trait? Introduction: Heredity is the study of acquiring traits by birth. A genotype is the alleles of an organism. A phenotype is the characteristics of an organism. Homozygous means having two identical alleles of a gene. A dominant allele is an allele that has the same effect on the phenotype whether it is present in the homozygous or heterozygous state. A recessive

0459 g/mole) diffused at a faster rate (dAve = 25.8cm), resulting in the formation of a white ring around the glass closer to the side of the heavier substance (HCl, M = 36.4611 g/mole; dAve = 10.8 cm). The agar-water gel set up was composed of a petri dish of agar-water gel containing three wells. Drops of potassium permanganate (KMnO4), potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and methylene blue were simultaneously introduced to each well. Methylene blue, having the largest molecular weight, displayed the

factors and chemicals on the heart rate of Daphnia. The Daphnia’s transparency allows the heart to be identified and counted under a microscope when the Daphnia are exposed to these factors. To study the influence of these factors on the Daphnia, four petri dishes were filled with a few drops of room temperature water, ethanol, sugar water, and about 5℃ water respectively. The sugar water was made by mixing a dash of sugar added to water until the sugar dissolved; whereas, the 5℃ water was made by placing

People everywhere are debating whether animal testing should be allowed or not, and there are many reasons to prove that animal testing is insufficient and should not be allowed. The main reason as to why animal testing should be banned, is because it is cruel and inhumane. The Humane Society International has found out that the animals used in experiments are being subjected to force feeding, water and food deprivation, lengthy periods of physical restraints, the animals are being inflicted with
