Biological hazards, also known as biohazards, refer to biological substances that pose a threat to the health of living organisms, primarily that of humans. This can include medical waste or samples of a microorganism, viruses, or toxins (from a biological source) that can affect human health...
In subject area: Agricultural and Biological Sciences The bladder is a hollow, muscular viscus in the pelvis composed of interwoven smooth muscle cells, interspersed with elastin and connective tissues, and lined with transitional epithelium.
Changes in the levels of circulating proteins are associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), whereas their pathogenic roles in AD are unclear. Here, we identified soluble ST2 (sST2), a decoy receptor of interleukin-33–ST2 signaling, as a new disease-causing factor in AD. Increased circulating...
Quantification process of the internal standard calibration curve method: The internal standard calibration curve method was applied for quantification, which is commonly used in precise quantitative research of endogenous metabolites and exogenous chemicals in biological matrices. The point of this method is...
They too can become polluted, for example, when weed killers used in people's gardens drain into the ground. Groundwater pollution is much less obvious than surface-water pollution, but is no less of a problem. In 1996, a study in Iowa in the United States found that over half the ...
(wolves, foxes, jackals) and the elephants (elephants, mammoths, mastodons). All members of a family trace their lineage back to a founding matriarch or patriarch. All cats, for example, from the smallest house kitten to the most ferocious lion, share a common feline ancestor who lived ...
A ten-year linear programming model of a representative dryland crop farm in North Central Kansas is used to develop and illustrate procedures for analyzing economic impacts of the elimination of one or more pesticides on an individual farm. Atrazine is used as an example pesticide because of its...
A good example of this is seen in the condition: feline aortic thromboembolism or FATE. FATE is a condition normally seen in cats whereby a large blood clot (thrombus) gets lodged in the arteries supplying the legs (usually the hind limbs) of the cat, thereby blocking the flow of oxygen ...
of many of those hazards discussed, and their seemingly lower impact to life, limb, or infrastructure. Nevertheless, many of these varieties of biological hazard can also do considerable damage, even to the loss of life, so greater attention needs to be paid to expositions of their many ...
Natural hazards are defined as the threat of naturally occurring events that have a potentially negative impact on people. When a natural hazard results in one or a combination of the following outcomes – more than 10 deaths; 100 people or more injured or affected; and/or a declaration of ...
