CAPTA continued the efforts to rid child abuse through funding programs that not only assisted in providing knowledge with identifying and reporting cases of abuse, but also providing aid and helpful resources to the child victims. “The Promoting Safe and Stable Families Programs, Title IV-B subpart 2 of the Social Security Act, is a significant source of federal funds to help states keep children safe from maltreatment, allow children to remain safely with their families, and ensure safe and timely permanency for children in foster care.” (Program, 2011). These programs receive funding and the costs vary depending on the demands, “In the most recent years, Congress has provided between $7.6 billion and $9.7 billion in federal support dedicated

Abstract: This lab’s purpose was to see how different levels of yeast, distilled water, and sugar interact to affect the level of carbon dioxide evolved in fermentation. In this experiment we had two sections. The first section tested four test tubes with varying levels of yeast, glucose and distilled water for evolved carbon dioxide levels. The tubes were timed for 20 minutes. The amounts of solution in the test tubes are noted in the methods section of this lab report. The second section of the lab used three test tubes and flowed the same procedure except added spices. The levels of ingredients are also in the methods section. The main goal of this experiment was to see the effects of yeast concentration.

The drink hales from Mexico and is sold by the cup on street corners by vendors hawking all manner of fruit-based “agua frescas” that is fresh water in Anglo parlance. And like other food trends to sweep the US, the tangy-sweet beverage is making inroads among health -conscious consumers and adventurous eaters. On a quest to make their own fermented beverages, such as, apple cider or kombucha at home

For the experiment, the changes of temperature on anaerobic fermentation the process in which cells undergo respiration without oxygen in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was observed. The purpose of this experiment was to test the effect of four different temperatures on the rate of carbon dioxide production in yeast by measuring the fermentation rate. Saccharomyces cereviviae, also known as Baker 's yeast, is a unicellular, eukaryotic sac fungus and is good for this experiment because of its characteristic of alcohol fermentation. It was hypothesized that fermentation increases with increased temperature to a point of 37°C; above that point, enzyme denaturing will occur and fermentation will decrease. The group was able to document the carbon dioxide production and mark each of the temperature intervals which were tested at temperatures 4°C (refrigerator temperature), 23°C (Room temperature), 37°C (Human body temperature) and 65° Celsius (Equal to 150°F). The experiment was conducted by pouring yeast solution with 2% glucose in fermentation tubes, placing the tubes in the appropriate incubation temperature, marking the rise of the gas bubbles in the fermentation tubes which indicated carbon dioxide production. The results of this experiment were not supported by the hypothesis, creating different results from what was predicted. It is important to understand the fermentation rate of yeast so

As the MC announces the letters and numbers, the participants are concentrating heavily over their many cards making sure not to miss the chance for a win. Then someone yells, “BINGO!” Bingo is only one of three legal forms of gambling allowed in the state of Georgia. The other two are, the Georgia state lottery and raffles, which are all state controlled. Out of the three, the lottery has been the most beneficial to the state. A portion of earnings from the state-run lottery goes towards the HOPE scholarship to ensure low-income students the opportunity to attend some form of continued education after completing high school. These funds from the state lottery are slowly diminishing, which affects the amount of scholarship monies available for disbursement to needy students. To repair the economic crisis, the state of Georgia should highly consider legalizing other forms of gambling. States that have granted casinos the permission to operate noticed a significant increase in the employment rate, benefits from state and local tax revenue, boost in retail sales and a revitalized housing market.

The purpose of the two experiments was to determine the fundamental effects that temperature has on the growth and survival of bacteria. During the first experiment five different bacterial broth cultures of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus stearothermophilus were individually incubated at temperatures of 5, 25, 37, 45 and 55°C for one week in an aim to distinguish the effect temperature has on growth and survival of the five different species. After one week they were observed for distinguishable changes by the turbidity showing an indication of bacterial growth, or the clarity an indication of no survival.

The data above proves both our hypothesis and prediction wrong. We hypothesized that the lemon green tea would inhibit the growth of bacteria more than green tea. This is because along with having catechins from the green tea, which interfere with bacterial membrane processes, the lemon green tea had flavonoids from the lemon, which alter enzyme activity, and a low pH, inhibiting acid tolerance and the formation of bacterial biofilm. In both of tests, the green tea solution created a larger zone of inhibition than the green tea with lemon, which is why our hypothesis was wrong. The water was our negative control, so it created no zone of inhibition and the beach was our positive control, so it always had a zone of inhibition. From the both

Answer 6: The most likely answer is fermentation, to be more precise I would identify it as lactic acid fermentation. Fermentation releases energy from sugars, it does not require oxygen, does not require the Kreb’s cycle or electron transport chain, and produces only a small amount of ATP. Microorganisms can ferment from various origins but the end result depends on the microorganism. In this case, the off taste is from the sugars in the drink turning the taste into an alcohol/vinegar mixture. However lactic acid fermentation can also lead to yogurt, cucumbers, and sauerkraut.

Lady Macbeth is the wife of Macbeth, a voice of action to Macbeth in the beginning to approximately the end of the play. The Shakespeare play is about Macbeth who was a hero to a nation, turns into a villain under the people noses. However, he did not do it alone. The verbal abuse of his wife plays a sizeable start of the negative start of Macbeth. Though she is not the only person to help Macbeth turn into a villain, the three Weird Sisters plays an important part also. The wicked witches are another important female(s) role in the play, also giving Macbeth the push he needs to start his plan. These two roles of important female cases are more alike than people would think.

According to an interview from Daniel Lui, a tea expert who has been studying the art of traditional Chinese tea for decades and set up his business in Vancouver’s Chinatown to teach others the art of tea, says “Virtually all teas are from the Camellia sinensis plant. What determines the different varieties of black, green, white, oolong, and pu-erh are location, harvesting time, method of harvesting and processing”(Silver, 2011). These five kinds of tea have different colors and flavors because of their difference in location and harvesting method. The first kind is black tea, which is also called red tea in China, is a post-fermented tea that produces dark tea water when steeped. This tea has various pure qualities, which blends easily with other flavors to create a rich and exquisite taste. As the second kind, green tea is light and refreshing. It contains the largest amount of caffeine and vitamins and has a subtle flavor and light color when steeped. The third one is white tea, which is light and delicately smooth. It has the least processed procedure that only undergoes steaming and drying, and leaving to its natural state. The forth one is Oolong tea. Oolong Tea has flowery sweet aroma combine with a pleasantly sweet after taste; it never loses its appeal no matter how often people drink it. And the last one is pu-erh tea, which is the strongest and most bold flavor tea. Unlike other teas, pu-erh 's quality and taste

Live Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain, cultured and tested in our laboratory, is added to the tank. The temperature of the tank is then reduced until the contents are at 37°C (body temperature). The solution is allowed to ferment in the tank for 6-9 days or until the numbers of Lactobacillus casei bacteria reach their ideal concentration.

Abstract – Yogurt is a product of lactic acid and lactose. In order to produce yogurt, milk is pasteurized (at 45 degrees Celsius) and the inoculum is added followed by incubation. Over a period of 7 days, yoghurt fermentation was attempted using lactobacillus cultures. A liter of milk was supplied and plain yoghurt was used as a starter culture as it contains the necessary bacteria to ferment lactose and produce lactic acid. The milk was added to a flask: then boiled, cooled and inoculated. The milk was incubated for a week and all the while the milk was tested for changes in pH, density, mass and physical changes. The values obtained were then used to determine the growth kinetics of Lactobacillus bulgaricus.
