Abstract In this study, we screen for the dumpy phenotype in Caenorhabditis elegans. These worms are shorter and stouter than the wildtype. By screening for the dumpy phenotype among mutagenized worms, we are seeking to find answers how the dumpy First, we address our hypothesis: there are specific genes within the C. elegans genome that code for the biological process of movement and therefore are responsible for the roller phenotype. After isolating mutant roller worms, we can then cross-breed
King Kamehameha Among the great islands of Hawaii there was prophecy foretold by one of the highest ranking Kapunas. This Kapuna stated that when a comet lights the hawaiian sky, that year a baby boy would be born, and this baby would be the one to move the great Naha stone that sat on the hilo side of the big island, and he would be the killer of kings and finally unite the Hawaiian island chain under one throne.

In the Greek city-state Sparta, military went as far as making every male citizen a hoplite, warriors of Ancient Greece, and go through a mandatory training program, agoge, or put through public humiliation (Park and Love). It is impossible to say that both Rome and Sparta neglected the idea of implementing warfare into their daily lives. Ancient Sparta was the
The muscles of inspiration are the diaphragm, external intercostal muscles, and other accessory muscles that include Scalenes (which elevate the first 2 ribs), sternocleidomastoid (which raises the sternum), Serratus anterior, Pectoralis minor, and Alae nasi (which flares the nostrils during inspiration) (Cite Source). (The muscles of expiration are the abdominals, which include the rectus abdominis, internal Obliques, external Obliques, and transversus abdominis, and the internal intercostal muscles
SURGICAL ANATOMY OF NOSE Rhinoplasty and rhino-septoplasty is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures todays era of plastic surgery. Expert knowledge of nasal anatomy and function is the key to success in rhinoplasty surgery. Before discussing the rhinoplasty goals, the face must be objectively evaluated to determine the patient’s existing aesthetics and anatomy, and their goal aesthetics and anatomy. 43 According to facial aesthetic principles, the vertical
the two. Only Roman citizens could become legionnaires, while auxilia were composed of non citizens recruited from Rome's client states and tribes. These legions were supported by the non citizen auxilia consisting of infantry cohorts and cavalry (alae). A legion consisted of around 5,000 men which were mostly heavy foot soldiers. However, it is only possible to attempt a rough estimate of the men who constituted a legion. It has been estimated that the total number of Roman troops, including
For the purpose of this essay, I will discuss the case of a five years old patient presenting to my place of work with the symptom of shortness of breath (SOB). To maintain confidentiality the pseudonym “Ryan” will be used to refer to the child and Ryan’s mother will be frequently referred to as “mum”. As this assignment is a critical evaluation of my own practice, elements of it will be written in the first person. Webb (1992) considers writing in the first person acceptable when personal experiences
