the body. The composition of collagen is manifested in various parts of the body like bone, skin, cartilage and blood vessel. Collagen fibre is the main structure in extracellular matrix contributing great assistance in maintaining the integrity of cells and tissues structures. The major functions of collagen include the provision of strength and elasticity, along with maintaining rigidity. Till date, 28 types of collagen have been identified and they are classified into few sub-group. A number of
IntroductionThe complex and interesting optical properties can be shown clearly on Nanostructured metals the collective oscillations of the conduction electrons termed plasmons lead to most striking phenomenon encountered in these structures are resonances . Plasmon modes number of geometries and in various metals ? most importantly in noble metals such as gold, copper and silver. Under certain circumstances are excited by light, which leads to strong light scattering and absorption and an enhancement
Racism in the United States: How it has been Outlined by Panopticism We live in a world where Panopticism rules and meritocracy is a myth. Racism has always been present, and it travelled across the sea with the settlers of the New World. Herman Melville is quoted by Ronald Takaki as saying, “You cannot spill a drop of American blood, without spilling the blood of the whole world. We are not a narrow tribe,” (Takaki, 5).

His answer for this problem was much like the answer of everyone before him, that it was God keeping the planets in orbit. It was not until in 1916, when

realized that Shlottman was kidnapped by Kilgrave and went through the same ordeal has her and her reaction was to run away from the problem. However, Jones has a realization that she should not run away from the problem and viewers see that through her inner thoughts of the first episode when she says “Knowing it's real means you gotta make a decision. Or two... do something about it” (Rosenberg). Rosenberg is trying to show through this quote that social victimization should not be the answer and cannot
