Colorectal cancer can be treated to remission when it is detected early. This underscores the importance of screening for colorectal cancer (Miller et al., 2011). There is an increased incentive for screening for colorectal cancer considering that colorectal cancer ranks fourth among the top causes death for non-cutaneous cancers and an even higher second rank when all cancers are considered. Even with these incentives for compliance with screening protocols, Miller et al., (2011) finds that the compliance rates are still low and attributes it to several factors. These findings that are corroborated by Hernandez, Chowdhury, Fleming & Griffith, (2011) who ...

The Translation Science Project

The current translation project focuses on colorectal cancer. The translation science project is a contribution to the efforts towards the improvement of the compliance with the screening protocol of colorectal cancer for Latin America patients aged between 50 and 70 years in a community health setting in Miami-Dade. The proposed project’s objective will help to determine how health care staff utilizes evidence-based practices (EBP) CRC screening protocol to improve compliance among Latin population aged 50 to 70 years old. In this project, the population of interest will consist of Latin American patients aged between 50 to 70 years ...

The term organic semiconductor is used for denoting the class of materials that are based on carbon, which takes part in semiconducting characteristics. And therefore, many of the attractive optoelectronic features exhibited in organic semiconductors emerge from the properties of carbon atoms. Organic semiconductor materials fall into two broad categories, i.e., low-molecular weight organic materials and polymers (Ishii et al. 2009). The individual energy properties are different as can be seen below. The bonding nature manifested in organic semiconductors is fundamentally dissimilar from those seen in their inorganic counterparts. The solid molecular crystals of organic semiconductors are bonded with ...

Introduction

E,coli bacteria is a commonly found within the human colon and it is a rod shaped enteric bacterium that grows in ideal conditions of 370 C. The bacterium can be cultured or grown in liquid or solid culture media within the lab. When grown in the ideal conditions, say LB broth, they tend to take a specific pattern while when grown in large amount of media they tend to take a lag phase where growth is minimal or none at all (Ding, Rahman, Purev & Oh, 2010). In the ideal environment, the bacteria tend to grow exponentially with their ...

A few weeks ago, I went to a birthday party for a younger cousin of mine at a family fun center that had a bowling alley, a rock climbing wall, laser tag, and a full video arcade. While the kids who looked like they were in elementary school were tearing around the various attractions, having a blast, I looked around and noticed something odd about the teenagers and the adults. When I was a teenager, we would all have been hogging the video games or running through game after game of laser tag (bowling was a little low-key, in our opinion). That wasn’t the case for the ...
