Clinical scenario:
A 62 year old Scandinavian man arrives in the emergency department of AZMC in Maastricht, complaining of pain in his right leg and palpitations. He tells me that he has just arrived on an especially cramped flight from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia where he could not move his legs. During the flight, he felt a pain in his right leg which he attributed to a muscle cramp. After landing, he noticed that the pain would not Continue reading...

Abstract

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a condition that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. In the ED, a current guideline pertains to the investigation of possible PE. It employs the Wells criteria as a clinical decision rule in predicting the likelihood or not of PE. Alternative criteria has since been developed such as the Geneva score and the PERC. It needs to be known if the Wells score remains the best tool for use in predicting PE diagnosis. A PICO question was formulated leading to the search, retrieval, and appraisal of related studies. The use of standard criteria is recommended in Continue reading...

Advancements in the field of Biotechnology has been boosted with the improvement in techniques of protein purification. Protein purification methods range from a simple process to a complex multiple step processes. An important aspect of successful results is the identification of the right techniques and their optimization Continue reading...

Purpose: To learn about the hydrogen and water reaction mechanism by trapping one of the reaction intermediates, hydrogen peroxide, in a hydrogen flame through a quick cooling before it is degraded. Hydrogen peroxide, the reaction intermediate, can be measured with permanganate in acidic solution.

All glassware, stir rod, and test tubes were cleaned and dried before the experiment. Potassium permanganate solution (1.26 10-4 M KMnO4) filled a 20 mL buret. The experimental setup consisted of a buret with a ring stand, and a small beaker was placed below. A solution of sulfuric acid 2.0 M H2SO4 was added to Continue reading...

Section 1: Catalysis

Introduction
Catalysis is a process by which chemical reactions are hastened by small amounts of external substances, called catalysts. A suitable catalyst can alter the rate of a thermodynamically attainable reaction, but cannot disturb the position of thermodynamic equilibrium. Most catalysts are solids or fluids, however they may likewise be gasses. Catalysis is a cyclic process. The reactants form a chemical complex with the catalyst, subsequently opening a pathway for their conversion into the respective products, following which the catalyst is released and allows the cycle to continue. Now, catalysts do not have infinite lifetimes. As a result of Continue reading...

Executive Summary

Introduction
I have completed my first co-op work term in a charted accountants firm called A&J LLP as a staff accountant.

Background

The problem of childhood obesity has become a thorny issue because it poses life threating conditions to health of individuals. The problem of obesity is expected to present long-term effects on the health of people if immediate actions are not put into place to reverse the trend (West & Saffin 4). Childhood obesity touches all kind of races and ethnic backgrounds. Childhood obesity is contributed by genetic factors, changes in diet, increased time spent in sedentary behavior, and declining levels of physical activity. Additionally, lifestyle factors such as family influence, media advertising, and alteration in society have been related to Continue reading...

Sodium-cooled Fast Reactors (SFR)

The sodium-cooled fast reactor is a 4th generation reactor project that provides a basis upon which the design of an advanced fat neutron reactor is developed. The project relies on two projects called the LMFBR and integral fast reactor. The objective of the project is to produce a fast spectrum reactor that can be cooled by sodium. Nuclear power plants use these reactors for the production of nuclear power using nuclear fuel (Lee & Brun, 2014). The nuclear fuel cycle has two options from the actinide recycle. The first option involves the intermediate size of sodium-cooled reactor. The size range Continue reading...

The Historical Analysis of Libyan Valleys

This study seeks to establish the solicitation for the human settlement in the Libyan Valleys via exploration of some factors and intensive study of Libyan landscape. Since the earlier century, all through to Roman reign as well as Byzantine era; the country had an extreme agricultural practice and knowledge. In addition, the explorers from Europe as well as the Arabs (GREENE, 1986, p.60) embarked on the excavation studies. Conversely, the study also seeks to establish and emphasize the agricultural importance in the country. Furthermore; the focus was channeled in coastal areas more as opposed to hinterland areas. Nonetheless, Key Continue reading...
