Effects of ethanol dosage and absorbic acid antioxidant therapy on embryonic chick development
Download2013-08-04
Congenital malformations are a major cause of infant morbidity and mortality, and exposure to teratogens such as ethanol/alcohol during pregnancy can have harmful effects on the developing embryo. The severity of fetal damage depends upon the amount and timing of fetal exposure to alcohol, as...

Comparing the anti-microbial effect of penicillin to that of chlorine dioxide on three opportunistic pathogens
Download2013-12-04
Introduction: The discovery of penicillin is a watershed in the history of medicine. Today, antibiotics are a part of everyday life. However, some speculate that society may return to the pre-antibiotic era if the increasing emergence and spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria cannot be slowed....

The effect of natural ACE inhibitors, diuretics and temperature changes on systolic blood pressure in humans
Download2013-10-04
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessels, and hypertension occurs when blood is forced through the arteries at an increased pressure. The aim of the study examines the relationship between blood pressure and blood viscosity, and to examine the...

E.coli and bacteriophage T4: Using lytic bacteriophages to prevent tissue culture contamination
Download2014-07-04
Bacteria are commonly encountered cell culture contaminants. Due to the costly consequences of media contamination and the loss of research production, further research should be devoted to the prevention of contamination so time and money are not wasted. Phage have been demonstrated to prevent...

Induction of apoptotic cell death by the dietary flavonol, quercetin, in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast adenocarcinoma cell lines
Download2014-04-04
Numerous studies have provided considerable evidence on quercetin's potential as a chemotherapeutic agent. Quercetin is a highly bioavailable dietary flavonoid that induces apoptosis in different cancer cell lines. Currently, the reported effects of this compound have been observed at...

Spatial and temporal variation of benthic macroinvertebrate communities in three westlope cutthroat trout tributaries in the Rocky Mountains
Download2014-02-04
Westslope cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi) is an important subspecies to Alberta, as a representative of a rich and diverse fish taxon that intrinsically holds many local adaptations to their native range. The reduction of westslope cutthroat trout from their historical range to...

Ontogeny of Albertosaurus sarcophagus: Speedy adults or fast juveniles? How the development of the species affected the biomechanics and the implications for hunting strategies
Download2014-08-04
The focus of this study was to examine the overall speeds that can be reached by Albertosaurus sarcophagus and comparing the results of Struthio camelus to determine the likelihood of those speeds being reached. The first step of the study was to determine the allometric relations that were...
