3-nitrooxypropanol Report

Introduction Sheep, cattle, goats, and some wild animals such as antelopes and their families that are predominantly known as ruminants ferment plant material in their rumen. The result of this fermentation process is the formation of propionate, CO2, acetate, butyrate, and methane (Alexander et al., 2015). The carbon dioxide and methane formed escape from the bodies of these animals into the atmosphere.3-nitrooxypropanol is believed to inhibit methanogenesis in ruminant, an action that has various applications and benefits to the environment and animals. This report will consider the need for and application of the 3-nitrooxypropanol and how it would work ...

One of the recurring points of contention in the field of biology is the mode of hereditary acquisition of characteristics of an individual. Some maintain that it is primarily due to genetics, while others assert that the environment plays a major role in developing a person’s characteristics. This debate is also known in some circles as the ‘nature vs nurture’ debate, and given the scientific merits of each side, it can be said that each point of view can be considered probable in determining the quality of an individual. As it turns out, recent research suggests that both, ...

Description

The Rett syndrome is originally known as cerebroatrophic hyperammonemia. It is a rare genetic disorder which commonly affects women although there are cases where it could be found in male patients. It is considered as a postnatal neurological disorder which affects the grey matter of the brain. Rett syndrome is also considered as a progressive disorder which affects the development of the brain. It is also considered as one of the common cause of mental disorders among women. It occur about 1 in 10,000 births and it typically develops at age 6 to 18 months. The signs or ...

If a fuel mixture can be represented by the general formula CxH2x, prove that the stoichiometric gravimetric air/fuel ratio is 14.8:1.

The combustion reaction for a given fuel mixture will look as follows:

CxH2x + 1.5x(O2 + 3.76N2) → xCO2 + xH2O + 1.5x*3.76N2 The molar ratio is 1.5x:1, to find the gravimetric ratio, the masses of the air and fuel should be found. This can be done by multiplying molar ratio with molar weights of the fuel and air. m(fuel) = 12*x + 2x*1 = 14x m(air) = 1.5x(16*2 + 3.76*14*2) = 1.5x*137.28 = 205.92x The gravimetric stoichiometric air/fuel ratio then is 205.92x:14x = 14.71:1 The dry exhaust gas analysis from an ...

Background

Wound healing is one of the most important processes in maintaining the health of a person. Multiple factors affect wound healing in humans regardless of age. A partial list includes diabetes, hereditary healing disorders, obesity, drugs, alcoholism, smoking and compromised immune condition. Infection, stress, nutrition, and radiation therapy can also contribute to delayed or incomplete wound healing (Guo & DiPietro, 2010). In the start of a wound, an inflammatory response is initiated. Blood vessels expand, helping white blood cells and nutrients to reach the wound. Wound healing is achieved through the processes of hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Proper sequence ...

Uses of Hydrogen in the Industry

Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, flammable, non-toxic and flammable gas at atmospheric temperature. Due to its properties, hydrogen is one of the main starting factors used substance in chemical industries. It is the basic building block in manufacturing of ammonia (Ramachandran, & Raghu, 5). Hydrogen is used mainly in the manufacturing of two chemical components, which are ammonia and methanol. These chemical components are made industrially. The manufactured ammonia is used in fertilizer manufacturing industries while methanol is used in the manufacturing of polymers. Hydrogen is also used in oil refining industries for reforming oils to obtain a high-quality grade ...

Summary of Article

INTRODUCTION Altered oligonucleotides, specifically, labeled RNA serve as important tools in biochemical and biomedical research and have been commonly utilized for therapeutic and analytical purposes . Although there are many studies on post-synthetic techniques on DNA, such as by Marx et al., very few reports have described the techniques related to RNA. An efficient automated RNA synthesis with an optimal yield is a prerequisite for post-synthetic derivatization. It is a commonly accepted truth that RNA production is much more troublesome and challenging than DNA synthesis, owing to its lesser coupling efficiency in the synthesis cycle along with the requirement to ...
