... example was the drug known as Captapril. Captapril became a pharmaceutical drug in 1975. The drug Captapril was a defense against the protein PNP. PNP is an enzyme which takes out the sugar and nitrogenous substances out of the cells. It then divides the purine form of the sugar, making it independent and creating or destroying in order to build more molecules such as DNA. But PNP separates anti-cancer and other helpful agents , and destroys the therapy provided by those agents. The goal was to create a drug which could inactivate PNP until therapy for these agents were complete. A computer was used to create a model of the protein in order to understand ...

... muscle/gross-motor skills include: climbing across the monkey bars, riding bigwheels (or tricycles), and running through a built-in obstacle course on the playground. Starting with the monkey bars, it's clearly obvious that Karligh is physically stronger upperbody-wise than Bethany. With surprising ease, Karligh crossed the monkey bars using nothing but her arms to perform this task. Bethany on the otherhand was shaky and uncertain from the start. After hanging from the first bar, she quickly swung her feet over to the side for leg support. She was able to cross but only with a great deal of assistance from me. Karligh also showed mastery in riding the big wh ...

... not only when we feel sleepy, but the rate at which we age, when we go through puberty, and how well our immune systems fend off diseases. Being set in the middle of our brains, the pineal gland has no direct access to sunlight. Our eyes send it a message of how much sunlight they see, and when it's dark. The sunlight prohibits the gland from producing melatonin, so at night, when there's no sun, the sleep-inducing hormone is released into our bodies. Because of the pineal gland and melatonin, humans have known to sleep at night and wake during the day since long before the age of alarm clocks. Humans don't produce melatotin right from birth; it is trans ...

... the exception was enlarged to include danger to the mother's health as well. Legislative action in the 20th century has been aimed at permitting the termination of unwanted pregnancies for medical, social, or private reasons. Abortions at the woman's request were first allowed by the Soviet Union in 1920, followed by Japan and several East European nations after World War II. In the late 1960s liberalized abortion regulations became widespread. The impetus for the change was threefold: (1) infanticide and the high maternal death rate associated with illegal abortions, (2) a rapidly expanding world population, (3) the growing feminist movement. By 1980, c ...

... end in . Women with incomes under eleven thousand are over three times more likely to abort than those with incomes above twenty-five thousand. Unmarried women are four to five times more likely to abort than married and the rate has doubled for 18 and 19 year olds. Recently the U.S. rate dropped 6 percent overall but the rate of among girls younger than 15 jumped 18 percent. The rate among minority teens climbed from 186 per 1,000 to 189 per 1,000. The most popular procedure involved in s is the vacuum aspiration which is done during the first trimester (three months or less since the women has become pregnant). A tube is simply inserted through the cervix ...

... animals should continue to live or not, so why isn’t it legal to make this decision about human lives? We kill our animals because they have a terminal illness or because they are suffering. Therefore, people, as higher beings, should have the right to decide whether they want to end their suffering. Denying terminally ill patients the right to die with dignity is unfair and cruel. It is worse to keep someone alive who doesn’t want to live and suffer from pain, rather than letting them have a peaceful and less painful death through euthanasia. An true example of someone who deserves a peaceful and less painful death is Susan Hess. She suffers from multiple ...

... networks provide an effective approach for a broad spectrum of applications. Neural networks excel at problems involving patterns, which include pattern mapping, pattern completion, and pattern classification (He95). Neural networks may be applied to translate images into keywords or even translate financial data into financial predictions (Wo96). Neural networks utilize a parallel processing structure that has large numbers of processors and many interconnections between them. These processors are much simpler than typical central processing units (He90). In a neural network, each processor is linked to many of its neighbors so that there are many more ...

... precautions are taken. Some research shows that exposure to electric magnetic fields, such as power lines and electric appliances, is a possible risk factor. More studies are needed to prove this link. Some genetic conditions, such as Down’s syndrome, are also believed to increase the risk factor. Exposure to some chemicals is also suspected to be a risk factor. By learning the causes of leukemia treatment options will become available(MedicineNet-leukemia, 1997). There are many symptoms of leukemia. The symptoms of leukemia are the same for all the different types of leukemia. The acute types of leukemia, ALL and AML, symptoms are seen more quickly ...

... living in it. People use to endue their gods with the qualities that are natural for themselves and which they hate most of all. Religion was used from the beginning of the earliest civilizations as a tool to conquer, kill and destroy and it was usually used as a justification of those actions. People were not responsible for the killings, instead gods were. When people can not handle problems, which arise every day in front of them, they try to hide under the mask called god, but by doing that they do not solve them, they only ignore and try to escape their everyday problems, which makes everything worse. The desperate attempt to explain their own existence took ...

... ears, nerves etc. They come in at such a rate, that there needs to be a part of memory that is fast, and can sift through all of these signals, and then pass them down the line for use, or storage. Short term memory probably has no real capacity for storage. Medium Term : This is where all of the information from the short term memory comes to be processed. It analyses it, and then decides what to do with it (use it, or store it). Here also is where stored information is called to for processing when needed. This kind of memory has some kind of limited storage space, which is used when processing information, however the trade-off is that is slower than Short term ...
