Using Aruino Technology to Monitor the effect of pH and Temperature on Water Quality

Using engineering principles, computer-aided-design software, and three-dimensional printing technologies, a device containing a single Arduino, analog pH sensor, and digital temperature sensor will remotely collect data while left on a stream to analyze the water quality and health of a tributary to the Chesapeake Bay. Specifically, Arduino Uno, a microcontroller board designed to take an almost any input and give a simple output, will be programmed to read the pH data as the input and light a LED based on the pH received as the output. Both the pH and temperature data will then be stored onto the Arduino. After a week of collecting data, the Arduino will then be retrieved, and the data collected and analyzed. This process will be conducted monthly to monitor the long-term effects of pH and temperature on the health of the tributary

Molecular exercise physiology

This definitive reference work is designed to inform, challenge, and support scientists, clinicians, professionals allied to medicine, teachers, students, and coaches involved in the study, research, and practice of paediatric sport, exercise, and medicine. The book (pp. 712)features 50 innovative chapters by internationally recognised scientists and clinicians. Each chapter critically analyses the literature, establishes what is known, and identifies any gaps in knowledge. There are extensive sections on Exercise Science, Exercise Medicine, Sport Science, and Sport Medicine, each cross-referenced to highlight complementary information. They combine to provide thorough coverage of developmental exercise physiology, physical activity, the young athlete, challenges in youth sport, and sport injur

Overlapping sites on the link module of human TSG-6 mediate binding to hyaluronan and chondroitin-4-sulphate

AbstractLink modules are hyaluronan-binding domains that are involved in the formation and stability of extracellular matrix and cell migration. We have examined the glycosaminoglycan specificity of the Link module from the arthritis-associated protein, human TSG-6, by microtitre plate-based assays employing biotinylated-hyaluronan or mono-biotinylated Link module. This domain was found to interact specifically with chondroitin-4-sulphate (C4S), with similar affinity to hyaluronan, but not with chondroitin-6-sulphate or heparin. Competition experiments indicate that C4S and hyaluronan have overlapping binding surfaces on the TSG-6 Link module. Disease-associated changes in C4S expression may influence the localisation and biological role of TSG-6
