Microbiology (Lab Report) Bacterial growth curve Lab Report Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms that replicate by an asexual process of binary fission. The microbes reproduce at a higher rate under favorable conditions. The growth is represented in a pattern of growth which geographically represents some living cells in a population over time. This pattern is known as a bacterial growth curve. Consequently, the growth circles entail of four phase lag, exponential stationery, and death. Besides, the growth rate of bacteria’s is exponential which in the laboratory growing bacterial doubles at favorable conditions. Bacteria were raised in a closed system shown a specific growth pattern which consisted of four phases namely; the lag phase which relates to a period of maximum growth — secondly, the exponential growth phase, where growth in this phase is quite balanced. Thirdly, the stationary phase in which nutrients become the limiting factor making the growth rate equal to death rate — lastly, the death phase where organisms die faster than they are replaced. It is of more advantage to know how fast a microbe grows to know…

Calculating Area Word Problems – Part 2 SUMMARY KEYWORDS metres, square metres, area, centimetres, hamster, calculate, buy, hamster cage, yard, covers, fabric, paint, charge, countertop, answer, problem, cage, granite, square feet, wide   Hello Welcome back. The title of this lesson is calculating area word problems. This is part two. And so this will be the second part of when we read these problems pick it apart, try to understand what they’re asking us to do and actually calculate the answer. So first question says joy, bought a piece of fabric that is 30 centimetres long and nine centimetres wide, what is the area of the piece of the fabric? This is what I was saying in the last lesson when you buy fabric from the store, you don’t buy it in terms of how long it is, you buy it by in terms of how much area it covers. So you might buy metre by you might buy fabric by the square metre or something of square centimetres even depending on what the fabric is. So if we have…

    Long Term Effects of Drug Abuse in Children Thesis Statement: Drug abuse among children exposes them to several long-term effects, which include psychological, physical, as well as behavioral effects, and these can be treated through the use of therapeutic measures. Introduction Many children in the United States, as well as all over the world are exposed to drugs at a very tender age. Over 8.3 million children, which translates into 11 percent of all children in the United States, are either directly or indirectly exposed to several health risks due to drug addiction (Masud & Khan, 2018). Drug abuse among children exposes them to several long-term effects, which include psychological, physical, as well as behavioral effects, and these can be treated through the use of therapeutic measures. Psychological Effects Drug abuse among children has been associated with several mental health problems such as anxiety, paranoia, as well as depression (El Sayed, Ali, Ahmed, & Mohy, 2019). Children that are abuse drugs are twice as likely to struggle with different mental health problems such as anxiety and mood disorder…

Evaluation Plan Overview of the Program Model Atherosclerosis is an artery condition that is the leading cause of around 50% of all fatalities in the Western world. Approximately 500,000 people in the United States get heart diseases each year. Cardiac diseases are a primary cause of deaths in the western world, killing more than 730,000 people every year. The primary risk factor for arteriosclerosis is obesity. With the obesity pandemic growing, it is necessary to develop a nationwide weight-loss management program that aims to reduce obesity cases, resulting in a reduction in numbers of cardiovascular diseases (Oshakbayev et al., 2015). For the weight-loss program, lowering arteriosclerosis requires efforts by patients, families, and healthcare practitioners. The primary stakeholders involved in this evaluation are state and local health departments, physician associations, legislators, policymakers, and advocacy groups. The expected outcomes of the weight-loss program are reducing the progression of arteriosclerosis in the short-term by reducing plague build-up in the arteries, therefore improving the living standards of those patients already affected. The long-term goal of the program is to eliminating arteriosclerosis leading to a…

Employing older workers in contemporary organisations     Table of Contents Introduction. 3 Business case studies. 3 Recommendations. 7 Conclusion. 8 References. 9       Introduction In Human Resource Management, managers are supposed to take strategic actions so that they can benefit the business by maximising the performance of employees. This, in turn, would allow the business to gain a competitive edge over other businesses operating in the same industry. Employers nowadays are focussed on employing older workers because these workers have lower turnover and absentee rates in comparison to the younger workers. Moreover, it has been expected that life expectancy of people in the UK is likely to rise to eighty years and in advanced economies, people will continue to work in their seventies and eighties. However, recruiting older workers also posits certain opportunities and challenges. These areas shall be explored in the report. Two business case studies shall be considered and the need to recruit older workers shall be highlighted as well. Lastly, a few recommendations would be made so that organisations can ensure the ready supply…

Sonny’s Blue by James Baldwin             James Baldwin uses the story “Sonny Blues” to tell the story about his life in Harlem together with his brother in the 1950’s. The main story is about the character Sonny and how he used Jazz to evade his depressive state. In that particular period, James Baldwin can understand what Jazz means in terms of the genre being an art and a form of expression. The themes used in the story are mainly to express suffering that depressed people encounter in their daily lives. The main picture the antagonist tries to paint in the book is primarily about drugs and racism in context to depression. Harlem is a place associated with violence, poverty and vice and its reflection in Sonny’s Blues book is used to depict the origin of the greatness of jazz music in overcoming these problems and becoming a top genre. In the opening of the story, Sonny, the brother to the narrator, is seen to have been captured, as the narrator reads in the newspaper, due to selling and using heroin.…

Obesity and Arteriosclerosis Section 3: The Intervention Numerous researches have shown a clear correlation between obesity and many heart disorders, including acute heart infarction, stable heart disease, heart failure, and ischemic stroke. The link between obesity and high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus also been shown to increase arteriosclerosis incidence (Wang & Nakayama, 2010). Wang (2010) found that atherosclerosis starts several years before any type of cardiovascular disease has developed. Patients with higher BMI values also had more frequent and advanced arteriosclerotic vascular lesions than in subjects with average body weight. The adoption of weight loss measures is crucial to decrease obesity-related cases of arteriosclerosis. Guidelines have disclosed that weight loss can dramatically improve the health outcomes of many disorders linked to obesity (Cefalu et al., 2015). Critically, the impacts of weight reduction are frequently communicated in expanded mortality cases. An on-going examination of 15 investigations found that generally modest quantities of weight reduction led to a 20 percent decrease in death (Beavers et al., 2015). Weight loss has been proven to be beneficial to many cardiovascular risk factors. These…

Several changes in the treatment of trauma have occurred in social work, improving social work effectiveness. One of the changes in the intervention of trauma is the introduction of cultural consideration when treating trauma among homeless people, which has improved the treatment process.
