Location and Orientation of the Heart01:13

Location and Orientation of the Heart

10.3K
The human heart, despite its modest size and weight, is an organ of remarkable strength and endurance. Roughly the size of a fist, the heart weighs between 250 and 350 grams and is nestled within the mediastinum, the medial cavity of the thorax. It extends obliquely for about 12 to 14 cm, resting on the superior surface of the diaphragm. The heart is positioned anterior to the vertebral column and posterior to the sternum, with two-thirds of its mass lying to the left of the midsternal line.

Methods of Documentation I: Source-Oriented Records

1.7K
Source-oriented records, or SOR, are medical record-keeping organized by the data source. The SOR system was first developed in the mid-1900s to organize the growing patient data in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
In an SOR, each discipline involved in patient care maintains a separate medical record section. This record-keeping method enables easy tracking of patient progress and ensures healthcare staff have access to up-to-date information.
Key Attributes include the following:

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

6.8K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Specific Heat01:16

Specific Heat

67.5K
The specific heat capacity of a substance refers to the energy required to increase the temperature of one gram of that substance by one degree Celcius. Specific heat capacity is often represented in calories (cal), grams (g), and degrees Celsius (oC), but can also be expressed in joules (J), kilograms (kg), and Kelvin (K), among other units.
For example, increasing the temperature of one gram of water by 1°C requires one calorie of heat energy and can be written as 1 cal/g-°C, or...

Density, Specific Weight, Specific Gravity and Compressibility of Fluid01:27

Density, Specific Weight, Specific Gravity and Compressibility of Fluid

1.6K
Density, specific weight, specific gravity, and compressibility are fundamental properties of fluids. Density is the mass per unit volume, characterizing the mass of a fluid system. It influences buoyancy, pressure, flow dynamics, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and sound propagation. For instance, in pipeline design, accurate density measurements ensure that the pipeline can handle the fluid's mass.
Specific weight represents the weight per unit volume and is calculated by multiplying...

Cell Specific Gene Expression01:58

Cell Specific Gene Expression

16.6K
Multicellular organisms contain a variety of structurally and functionally distinct cell types, but the DNA in all the cells originated from the same parent cells. The differences in the cells can be attributed to the differential gene expression. Liver cells, whose functions include detoxification of blood, production of bile to metabolize fats, and synthesis of proteins essential for metabolism, must express a specific set of genes to perform their functions. Gene expression also varies with...

Area of Science:

  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Fullerenes, like C60 and C70, are important carbon allotropes with unique properties.
  • Specific recognition and separation of different fullerene sizes remain challenging.
  • Molecular containers offer potential for tailored host-guest chemistry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and synthesize a molecular container for the selective recognition of ellipsoidal fullerenes.
  • To investigate the structural and binding properties of a novel supramolecular cage.
  • To understand the mechanism behind selective C70 recognition.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of a supramolecular double-decker cage using shape-persistent metallomacrocycles and pillar ligands.
  • Single-crystal X-ray diffraction to determine the cage's structure and internal cavity dimensions.
  • Binding studies to assess selectivity for C70 over C60 fullerenes.

Main Results:

  • A discrete three-dimensional (3D) nanospace was successfully constructed within the molecular framework.
  • The supramolecular cage features an inner cavity with a volume (>670 Å3) optimized for C70.
  • The cage demonstrated significantly higher selectivity for C70 compared to C60.

Conclusions:

  • The developed supramolecular cage enables efficient and selective recognition of C70 fullerenes.
  • The observed selectivity is attributed to multiple CH-π interactions between the cage's interior and C70.
  • This strategy provides a pathway for designing nanospaces for specific molecular recognition.
