Abstract:

The principal intention of this study was to come up with the most conducive internal environment in a building. At any given moment, the internal temperature of a building is a function of the amount of heat produced by sources therein and the net heat transfer into or out of the building. The four heat transfer modes are convection, radiation, conduction, and phase- change. In executing this project, the researchers sought the relevant literature to establish the thermal properties of various materials. The properties are critical in determining the amount of heat inflow and exit from the building. The ...

Substance abuse contributes to a variety of social problems, including social disorders, disease transmission, family disorders, and criminal behavior. A variety of biological, psychological, and social factors are potential causes of addictive behavior. Therefore, it is important to resolve the causes relevant to each individual in order to resolve addiction. Long-term success is achieved only when the causes of addiction are addressed, but treatments also need to consider short-term goals like preventing relapse during the withdrawal stage. Biological influences can make individuals susceptible to substance abuse. Various studies identified chromosomal regions in the human genome that can cause physiological ...

In January 2013, there were a total of 610,042 homeless people in the US (Henry, Cortes & Morris, 2013). 394,698 of the homeless individuals lived in sheltered locations while 215,344 of them lived in unsheltered locations (Henry et al., 2013). According to the US Conference of Mayors (2008), the leading causes of family homelessness in 25 cities surveyed include lack of affordable housing (72%), poverty (52%), unemployment (44%), and low-paying jobs (36%). For single adults, the leading causes of homelessness are substance abuse (68%), lack of affordable housing (60%), mental illness (48%), and poverty (44%) (US Conference of ...

The least surprising statistical data presented by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT, 1994) was the high prevalence of substance abuse or dependence issues in combination with other mental disorders. According to surveys and research papers from the 1980s and 1990s, substance abuse treatment programs reported between 50 and 75 percent co-occurring mental disorders among their clients while mental healthcare providers reported the prevalence of co-occurring substance abuse disorders among their patients between 20 and 50 percent (as cited in CSAT, 1994). The high prevalence of co-occurring disorders is not surprising because substance abuse causes several changes ...

Abstract

A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) are a group of structurally varied scaffold proteins which are found to regulate the PKA pathway by localizing the protein kinase A and some specific enzymes at sub cellular level. So far several of the AKAPs have been found to play critical role in the regulation of phosphorylation of several PKA dependent substrates which are necessary for the modulating the cardiac function. Abnormalities in these AKAPs genes have been found to cause various forms of cardiac disease. The most prominent AKAPs are the AKAP9 and AKAP13. Mutations in the AKAP9 gene has been found to be ...
