Design Example: Maintaining Level of an Embankment01:19

Design Example: Maintaining Level of an Embankment

419
Constructing a roadway embankment over uneven terrain requires precise leveling to ensure stability and proper drainage. Surveyors use a leveling instrument and staff to calculate ground elevations and determine the required fill material at each point along the embankment alignment.The process begins by positioning a leveling instrument near a benchmark with a known elevation. A backsight reading establishes the instrument height, which serves as a reference for subsequent measurements. A...

Role of Vitamins in Maintaining Bone Health01:25

Role of Vitamins in Maintaining Bone Health

5.2K
The growth and maintenance of bone are regulated by a combination of nutritional factors, including vitamins, such as vitamin A, B12, C, D, and K.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in the process of bone remodeling. Retinoic acid, the active metabolite of Vitamin A, has nuclear receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are involved in bone remodeling.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor during the formation of osteoblast-related proteins, such as osteocalcin. Vitamin B12 plays a role...

Heating and Cooling Curves02:44

Heating and Cooling Curves

27.4K
When a substance—isolated from its environment—is subjected to heat changes, corresponding changes in temperature and phase of the substance is observed; this is graphically represented by heating and cooling curves.
For instance, the addition of heat raises the temperature of a solid; the amount of heat absorbed depends on the heat capacity of the solid (q = mcsolidΔT). According to thermochemistry, the relation between the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance, q, and its...

What is Gene Expression?01:42

What is Gene Expression?

195.2K
Overview
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...

Formation of Species01:31

Formation of Species

44.8K
Speciation describes the formation of one or more new species from one or sometimes multiple original species. The resulting species are discrete from the parent species, and barriers to reproduction will typically exist. There are two primary mechanisms, speciation with and without geographic isolation—allopatric and sympatric speciation, respectively.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Altering the definition of "antibiotic" is crucial for the success of the U.S. National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria. This change is essential to effectively combat antimicrobial resistance.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology and Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health Policy
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant global health threat.
  • Current strategies, including the U.S. National Action Plan, aim to mitigate AMR.
  • The existing definition of "antibiotic" may impede comprehensive AMR control efforts.

Discussion:

  • The current definition of antibiotics may not fully encompass the spectrum of agents needed for effective treatment and prevention of resistant infections.
  • Re-evaluating and potentially broadening the definition could facilitate the development and utilization of novel antimicrobial compounds.
  • A revised definition could align policy with the evolving understanding of microbial resistance mechanisms.

Key Insights:

  • The success of national action plans against antibiotic resistance is contingent upon redefining "antibiotic."
  • A narrow definition limits the scope of interventions and the development of new treatments.
  • Strategic redefinition is proposed as a critical step to enhance AMR combat strategies.

Outlook:

  • Future research should focus on establishing a scientifically robust and clinically relevant definition of antibiotics.
  • Policy adjustments based on a new definition could foster innovation in antimicrobial drug discovery.
  • Enhanced global collaboration may be required to implement a universally accepted definition, strengthening AMR containment efforts.
