...Cell Essay This is my essay for converting a cell into a city. I started out with creating a cell wall. I made a Nordic wall of stone to protect the city. Next I did the cell membrane which I transformed into a draw bridge to fit the theme. For the cytoplasm I put grass because it makes up the shapes of the cell/city. The next big project was the chloroplast which I turned into solar panels and smokestacks because it takes in sunlight and releases CO2. On the inside I put greens and vines. The hardest part to do was the nucleus and nucleolus. For the nucleus I created a town hall because it is the control center. For the nucleolus I used it as an office in the nucleus that contains books or genetic information and a cake shop because the nucleolus produces ribosomes and the cakes represent the ribosomes. Next was the mitocandria, or the power plant of the cell. I created four tall windmills because they use the wind to produce power to the entire city. I represented the golgi apparatus with a UPS or packaging device that can package, deliver, etc. The lysosome was the sanitary service or garbage disposal that has garbage cans and other stuff like sinks and supplies. The vacuole gave me some trouble but I finally decided to make it a storage locker that stores and holds waste and nutrients. The Endoplasmic Reticulum was tricky but I remembered that it transports ribosomes so I made minecarts and tracks to represent it. The last thing was its rectangular shape which was easy...

...No Zoning in Houston? To begin to evaluate the effect of zoning codes, it is important to keep some of the characteristics of Houston in the back of your mind: the city has a growing economy, booming population, and urban sprawl, but it also filled with air pollution, traffic congestion, and a somewhat ineffective method of public transportation. It is unlike many other cities for a variety of reasons, but in regards to urban politics, its biggest difference is a lack of a zoning code. Zoning codes are typically used to keep developments at a low-density, but even without them, Houston has a sprawling, low-density urban structure. Zoning is also used to protect property values, but some of the most expensive homes in downtown Houston are very near to commercial developments. If there are no zoning codes, what promotes such success similarity to other large, zoned cities? After reading the research on this topic, most views on which come through local media sources, it is apparent that the effects of zoning are a very contested issue. Many individuals argue that the lack of zoning gives Houstonians a necessary right to private property usage, while others would like more regulation in city development. Additionally, voting against zoning laws allows the opportunity to test alternatives to zoning laws. The city has tried to pass zoning laws in 1948, 1962, and 1993, but each time, they have failed to get close to a majority of the citizens’ votes, even in small straw polls. ...

...Singapore and the Contemporary Right to the City When Henri Lefebvre first conceived of the right to the city in 1968, the Internet had not yet been invented; today, it is impossible to imagine a world without it. Advances in technology have allowed for dramatic improvements in the standard of living, and citizens in cities should have the right to realize these benefits. Singapore is striving to become a smart city, and has incorporated information and communication technology throughout the city that has resulted in improvements in transportation, sustainability, convenience and productivity. The contemporary right to the city is one in which all citizens have the right of access to technology, and Singapore is one city where this right is being satisfied. Lefebvre argued that every citizen, regardless of demographic should have the right of access to jobs, services, land and homes, and the right to contribute in changes to the city. While all of these rights certainly remain applicable today, the contemporary right to the city is one that also includes access to technology. Singapore is one of the densest cities in the world, with over 7,000 people per square kilometer, and as the city has become increasingly urbanized, it has turned to technology in order to ensure that the quality of life remains high. The city has undertaken a massive project to transform itself into one of the smartest cities in the world, with the government spending tens of billions of dollars...

...then went on to develop into little frogs," he told ABC radio's AM program. "And like any pregnant mum, when you have little babies rattling away in your stomach saying, 'let me out', she would then open her mouth and out would pop little frogs. "The first people that saw that were aghast. By the time anybody got excited about it, suddenly it was extinct. "So that's certainly one of the driving reasons why this would be a focal animal for seeing if we can de-extinct this amazing frog." That is exactly what a team of Australian scientists is doing. After locating a few carcases stored in a deep freezer, they have been able to recover tissue from the gastric brooding frog. Using a laboratory technique known as somatic cell nuclear transfer, they have implanted the dead cell nucleus from the extinct species into a fresh egg from another related frog. The reproductive process then took over, and the scientists have created an embryo. "There was one day in the laboratory that was so exciting when all of a sudden the egg from this living species that had had one of these extinct frogs nuclei inserted into it, started to divide,...

...Animal Rights Since the beginning of living, the interaction between man and animals have been something unavoidable. The encounter in the wild, the hunter and the hunted, and the survival of the strongest are the rules of the jungle an it is because of this relation that we have with the animals that people have been study them. The philosopher Pythagoras was one of the first person who talked about animal, describing their soul were in the same category as the humans begins. Also, in the Bible is told that the humans are in a superior level when they justified that a bled animal can be eaten. Rene Descartes wrote in his meditations that animals do not have soul; therefore, they are not able to feel and their treatment can not be consider as a moral issue. Knowing that there is a lot of controversy about the animal rights, is inevitable to ask what are the advantages and disadvantages about giving them rights? The first and maybe the most important factor that we need to discuss firstly is the ability that both, humans and animals, have to think and feel. On one hand, human beings are complex evolved creatures who are accorded rights on the basis that they are able to think and to feel pain; additionally, any other animals are also able to think (to some extent) and are certainly able to feel pain. Therefore non-human animals should also be accorded rights, like a free and healthy life. However, on the other hand, human beings are infinitely more complex than any other...

Lithium carbonate is used as a mood stabilizer in psychiatry to treat bipolar disorder (manic-depression) in daily doses of about 0.5 to 2 grams, although there are side-effects. Excessive ingestion of lithium causes drowsiness, slurred speech and vomiting, among other symptoms, and poisons the central nervous system, which is dangerous as the required dosage of lithium to treat bipolar disorder is only slightly lower than the toxic dosage. The metal lithium is not essential for any biological functions, but was found to exist in extremely tiny...

...focuses mainly on internet websites and articles posted on to the internet. The articles focus mainly on the history of cloning and the various ways that nature has used cloning and how mankind has extended natures approach and ultimately advanced cloning methods and the new technology that has been discovered because of these advances. The articles contain proof that further advancements in cloning can develop possibilities in preventing and curing diseases. There is discussion on how continued research into therapeutic cloning can expand the knowledge of how certain diseases and cancer attack the body, and how this knowledge can help fight and even eliminate both these issues. Another topic of discussion is how cloning could lead specific cell production of various organs and tissues through-out the body which can lead to curing failing organs and even the possibility of growing replacements organs thus doing away with then need for lengthy organ transplant lists and the needless suffering of thousands of patients a year. The paper contains the various ethical and controversial arguments that human cloning bring up.
