(abyss.uoregon, n.d.)  The year that it was created was in 1724. (What Is The History of The Fahrenheit Scale, n.d.) The reason the … Read more

Beta Vulgaris, or most commonly known as beet roots, contains a red pigment called Betacyanin. This pigment controls the permeability of light into the cell membrane and is directly affected by the temperature applied to the beet root. Through the examination of the absorbance of light by use of a spectrophotometer, we were able to … Read more

Chapter 1 1.1 Prologue and introduction Not at all like different creatures, essentially people rely on upon sight to find out about the world encompassing them. The major and imperative strides taken by the man was to control their surroundings happened when they figured out how to overcome the dimness by controlling flame’a wellspring of … Read more

Abstract The environmental concerns created as synthetic petrochemical-based packaging materials had used in the past decades. Several biopolymers have been exploited to improve materials for environmentally friendly food packaging. Nevertheless, the use of biopolymers is inadequate due to their natural poor mechanical and barrier properties, which may be enhanced with the addition of reinforcing composites … Read more

Trinder and Reynolds (2000) state that Evidence Based Practice (EBP) has emerged from the 1990s and since has had a major impact on UK healthcare and practices, this has created a significant impact on improving patient, client and user care (Lipscomb, M. 2016). Evidence based practice relies on practitioners being able to critically appraise evidence … Read more

To what extent does the dissolved oxygen content (mg/L) of three different water samples change when introduced to increasing concentrations of Manganese Sulfate (MgSO4), as measured by an Oxygen Meter? 1: Introduction I was first intrigued by this topic during the Group Four project, specifically the chemical component of how we could determine the quality … Read more

Abstract: The quality of meat has become a topic of discussion over the last few years mainly emphasizing on customers preference. There are many factors associated with broiler meat quality, such as pH, water holding capacity, color, tenderness, cooking losses, oil content. In order to fully understand the  influence of these factors and to prevent … Read more

The proposed research addresses the 2016 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Foundational Program, area priority code A1331. This research aims to validate the effectiveness of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method coupled with bioluminescence assay in real-time (BART) of Campylobacter jejuni in uncooked poultry. C. jejuni, in addition to C. coli, is the estimated third-leading … Read more

“Attractor Dynamics in the Hippocampal Representation of the Local Environment” and “Attractors in Memory”: The authors recorded spike activity from place cells in the hippocampus of rats as rats explored environments. They compared these spike activities to the rat’s relative location in its environment. Because of the remapping phenomenon, wherein some cells will change their … Read more

Electrochemistry is the relationship between chemical relations and electricity (voltage and current). Electricity refers to the movement of electrons. In particular, the electrochemical process is any conversion between chemical and electrical energy. It is known that all electrochemical processes involve oxidation-reduction reactions or redox reactions; reactions that involve both the loss of electrons (oxidation) and … Read more

Introduction The relationship between predator and prey can be determined by various factors .This can be due to phenotypic characteristics or, it can be due to environmental conditions and adaptations. The individual picking the colors could have a very keen eye for one color or not be biased, and pick any color. Some prey may … Read more

The production and reactants used to produce Polystyrene and Polylactic acid determine their functionality for different uses that are essential in our daily lives. These also dictates how the products degrade as well as what substances it degrades to. This is important to determine the significant implication it has on our environment and the society. … Read more

Heat stress is becoming a major constraint for wheat production worldwide due to global warming. As per IPCC (2013) temperature will rise approximately by 0.3-0.6°C per decade over the next century. The increase in temperature during 1980 to 2008 resulted in 5.5% reduction in wheat production (Lobell et al. 2011). In South Asia with increase … Read more
