Rise of Liquid in a Capillary Tube01:18

Rise of Liquid in a Capillary Tube

3.4K
When very thin cylindrical tubes, called capillaries, are dipped in a liquid, the liquid rises or falls in the tube compared to the surrounding liquid. This phenomenon is called capillary action. Capillary action occurs due to the combination of two opposing forces: the cohesive forces of the liquid, which cause it to stick to itself and form a rounded shape, and the adhesive forces between the liquid and the walls of the container, which cause the liquid to be attracted to the container walls.

Glycolysis: Preparatory Phase01:21

Glycolysis: Preparatory Phase

17.6K
In cellular metabolism (the complete breakdown of glucose to extract energy),  glycolysis is the first step. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Glucose enters heterotrophic cells in two ways. One method is through secondary active transport, where the transport takes place against the glucose concentration gradient. The other mechanism uses a group of integral proteins called GLUT proteins, also known as glucose transporter proteins. These...

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends

7.5K
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific...

Carbonation Shrinkage01:24

Carbonation Shrinkage

537
Atmospheric CO2 penetrates the concrete's pores and, in the presence of moisture, forms carbonic acid, which then reacts with calcium hydroxide in the hydrated cement, forming calcium carbonate. This process reduces the concrete's volume and is termed carbonation shrinkage.
The concrete's permeability is slightly reduced as calcium carbonate produced during the reaction fills its pores. Furthermore, its strength is slightly enhanced as the water released during the reaction...

Preparation of Alcohols via Addition Reactions02:15

Preparation of Alcohols via Addition Reactions

8.1K
Overview
The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...

Protection of Alcohols02:31

Protection of Alcohols

8.2K
This lesson delves into the concept of protection and deprotection of a functional group fundamental to synthetic organic chemistry. These phenomena are explained in the context of aliphatic and aromatic alcohols.
Protection
It defines a protecting group as the masking agent to make the more reactive species inert to a given set of conditions. This concept is depicted via the illustration of liquid flow through different outlets in an assembly of pipes. The analogy helps to understand the role...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health Policy
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • The National Service Framework for Older People (NSF) was established in 2001.
  • Older people's champions were introduced as a key role within the NSF.
  • There is a recognized need to address age discrimination in services for older adults.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the newly established role of older people's champions.
  • To examine the implementation of the NSF, focusing on the champions' contribution.
  • To explore the development of roles and responsibilities for these champions in different contexts.

Main Methods:

  • The study is based on the initial description of the role within the NSF guidelines.
  • Analysis of policy documents and interest in practical application.
  • Observational insights into the evolving nature of the champions' functions.

Main Results:

  • Older people's champions were formally recognized as crucial for NSF implementation.
  • A primary function identified is the active pursuit of eliminating age discrimination.
  • Significant interest exists regarding the practical development and variation of these roles.

Conclusions:

  • Older people's champions are integral to the successful execution of the NSF.
  • Their role is vital in challenging and eradicating ageism within healthcare and social services.
  • Further investigation into the diverse operationalization of these champion roles is warranted.
