The Disappearing Spoon Chapter Summaries

The bad news is that when you don’t get enough of it, it can causes problems like ED. Bill says he also learned that an enzyme called eNOS is needed to help the Nitric Oxide in food get into your body and work like it should. Based on this knowledge, Bill Tharpe created the ED Destroyer program, where he explains how you can alter your diet and take natural supplements full of Nitric Oxide and eNOS to help treat your ED. In general, in the ED Destroyer guide, Bill lays out the exact program he followed to cure his own ED.

These chemicals are phthalates, non-stick coating (perfluorochemicals), flame retardants, mercury, triclosan, pesticides, and bisphenol A (BPA). The Introduction gives an overall on how the toxic experiment for Smith and Lourie will go. The experiment will mimic how people interact with everyday items through various activities such as cooking or shopping. To measure the levels of pollution in their bodies, both authors had to go through a blood and urine test before and after exposure. The Conclusion basically summarizes the authors findings and what they learned through their experiment.

Al (2012) “ Pasteur had both refuted the theory of spontaneous generation and demonstrated that microorganisms are everywhere even in the air; the revolutionary germ theory was a reality.” After Pasteur did countless experiments, in 1864, he proved the germs were the cause of diseases. Later in 1876, Robert Koch identified bacillus bacterium was the cause of anthrax. This was the convincing evidence that proves the validity of the germ theory. Besides that, Koch also identified the microorganisms that cause tuberculosis and cholera.

In 1928, Alexander Fleming was working with Staphylococcus, during his research one of his plate cultures became contaminated with mold. Fleming described the results in a 1929 publication, “the contaminating mold in the staphylococcus became transparent and were obviously undergoing lysis.” (Fleming) He further explains that the organism is a P. Rubrum penicillium, which he has never found in nature. After Penicillin was approved for being an active antibiotic, it would be used for the soldiers in World War II proves to be successful life-saving

The most common treatment for these infections, caused by Staphylococcus aureus is the antibiotics. There are many kinds of antibiotics using in the modern days, but the first kind of antibiotic being introduced for treating Staphylococcus aureus was Penicillin in 1943. This kind of antibiotic stops the formation of peptidoglycan cross-linkages that makes the bacterial cell well stronger. This eventually makes the cell wall formation and degradation become imbalanced, consequently lead to the cell to die. Other kinds of antibiotic were quick introduced for treating Staphylococcus as well.

Due to his medical training Gerstein was placed in the medical and technical service of the hygiene division of the Berlin SS. He later became head of the technical health department, where he oversaw the disinfection processes of highly poisonous gases, including Zyklon B. On the 8th of June 1942, Gerstein was ordered to obtain one hundred kilograms of Zyklon B in order to examine the possibilities of using it in place of the gas the Nazis had already been using. In the Gerstein Reports, Gerstein claimed that he only complied to find out more about the killings. In August he travelled to Lublin and was told that what they were about to see was of the utmost secrecy; anyone caught speaking about it elsewhere would be

“...eye makeup--composed of the rare mineral laurionite--probably released nitric oxide from its lead salts and thereby protected her eyes against bacteria infection by boosting the immune system, researchers speculated.” (Nature Medicine, 2010, p. 145) Even in ancient times, different minerals were used for durability and health. Knowing that makeup is used by a huge chunk of the general public, studying this topic can help countless people in choosing the right products. The results of this experiment will show the different durability levels in different products due to the mineral composition.

It is usually prescribed in a single, large dose, however, the dose may also be spread out over five days depending on the severity of the infection. Azithromycin is available as an oral tablet, oral suspension, extended release oral suspension, eye drop or intravenous form. • Doxycycline. This is a prescription drug that works by blocking a bacterial protein from being formed. It works by binding to certain units of the bacterial protein and thus stops the bacterial protein from growing, thereby treating bacterial infections such oral Chlamydia.

Since my unknown had the presence of a halogen, I narrowed down possible starting materials. I combined all of the characterization data from week 2 and was able to identify my unknown starting material as para-bromoaniline and my product as 4-bromoacetanilide. The melting point for para-bromoaniline is typically 66°C and 168°C for 4-bromoacetanilide. Both of these numbers match with the melting point ranges I obtained. This data, combined with the TLC evidence that my unknowns were more polar, allowed me to reach this conclusion.

Flowers for Algernon is a science fiction story by Daniel Keyes that follows the radical change of Charlie Gordon as he is giving a brain surgery that changed him from a man with an IQ of 68 to a genius beyond recognition. This story was originally published as a short story and was later printed as a novel. This book follows the progress reports of Charlie before, during, and after his transformation. The author shows this by changing Charlie’s grammar and sentence structure as well as showing Charlie’s awareness of those around him. Jack Lewis from BrightonLeft points out the change in grammar as well as the lack of change in his emotional intelligence, he also mentions the reliability of this book.

Research Protocol – Monitoring of the Daphnia magna heart rate The experiments focused on the four treatments of nicotine, caffeine, ethanol, and double distilled water (placebo). 180 μL of each bioactive solution (nicotine was covered with foil, due to light sensitivity) and 120 μL of double distilled water were placed into labeled eppendorf tubes to dismiss cross-contamination, and were placed on ice to match the environment of the Daphnia to reduce any added stress on the Daphnia. One Daphnia was placed on the testing petri dish, and then all the excess pond water was removed with a transfer pipette.

First of all, Kendra poisoned the ice cubes, so that Felix would have no external injuries. Also she has her finger prints on Felix’s cup. My team of investigators took samples of the ice cubes, the pH for tap water is 7(neutral) and for the ice water a 9(base).

Amid Alexander Fleming 's Nobel discourse he said, "After I finished my research, biochemist Dorothy Crawfort Hodkin used x-rays to determine the atomic structure and molecular shape of penicillin. " (Fleming,2)Dr. C.G. Paine, dermatologist Albert Nutt were two famous doctors who used Hodkin’s research to develop several startling cures with the new substance as early as 1930 (Krebs,23) All of the fresh out of the box new research and the newfound properties of penicillin brought these new anti biotics which cured maladies that were very common, which balanced out various sorts of microbes. The life expectancy of the urban population increased by 3 years.

Base on Canon and fabrica, “Cancer resulted from increase in heat in black bile.” They use surgery on cancerous tumor to stop future increasing or spreading of the diseases. First half of the Canon’s textbooks focus on causes of the diseases. Another important discovery was the describe and characterize meningitis as a disease. Second half of this textbooks, focuses on the first organs and were to attack the virus.

The purpose of this lab was to change pennies from copper to silver to gold, like alchemists have attempted to do in history. Through the data and observations gathered throughout this experiment, it can be concluded that the pennies were not changed into a different element. For example, the density of the penny from 2005; which was the penny that was experimented on to see whether or not it could turn into silver; was 4.62 g/cm3 before the experiment and 4.89 g/cm3 by the end of the experiment. If this copper penny really would have turned into silver, then the density of the penny would be 10.49 g/cm3; which is the density of silver; by the end of the experiment. The penny may have turned silver in color, but this was only because it was plated in the zinc that was added to the beaker of water in the experiment.
