text: The proposed studies are designed to investigate the physiological importance and consequences of a newly described feedback regulatory system that controls acid-base homeostasis by regulating endogenous acid production. Studies will be performed in man and rats in situations where endogenous acid production is increased. The effect of acidosis (NH4Cl and methionine) and alkalosis (NaNCO3) on lactic acid production in the forearm under anerobic conditions will be tested in normal volunteers, subjects on hypocaloric ketogenic diets and patients with renal failure, to investigate whether exogenous or endogenous acid loads or retained acid can influence further endogenous acid production. The effect of acid and base loads on ketoacid production in subjects on hypocaloric ketogenic diets will be examined to evaluate the consequences of altered fat (ketone) metabolism on protein conservation and fuel utilization. This will be accomplished by measuring nitrogen balance and thermogenesis during acid-base inhibition and stimulation on ketogenesis. In chronically catheterized rats made ketotic with a Crisco diet, we will investigate the time course and reversibility of acute metabolic acidosis (HCl infusion), alkalosis (NaHCO3 infusion), chronic metabolic acidosis (CaCl2 in diet), alkalosis (chloride depleted high base diet) and acute respiratory acidosis and alkalosis on ketoacid production. As endogenous acid generation usually occurs in settings of specific energy need, eg. lactic acid during exercise and ketoacids during starvation, a regulatory mechanism independent of those needs may have widespread implications for energy utilization in physiological or pathological situations.

Lesson Title: Understanding Acid-Base Homeostasis and Its Regulation

Introduction:
Acid-base homeostasis is a crucial process that helps maintain the body's pH balance. It involves the regulation of acid production and elimination to ensure that the blood's pH remains within a narrow range. This lesson will explore the physiological importance and consequences of a newly described feedback regulatory system that controls acid-base homeostasis by regulating endogenous acid production.

Section 1: Understanding Acid-Base Imbalance
- Topic: Acidosis and Alkalosis
- Question: What are the causes and consequences of acidosis and alkalosis?
- Answer: Acidosis is a condition where there is too much acid in the blood, while alkalosis is when there is too much base. Acidosis can result from excessive production of acid or insufficient elimination, while alkalosis occurs due to over-elimination of acid or excessive buffering. Both conditions can lead to severe complications if not treated promptly.

Section 2: Regulation of Acid-Base Homeostasis
- Topic: Feedback Regulatory System
- Question: How does the body regulate acid-base homeostasis?
- Answer: The body maintains acid-base homeostasis through a feedback regulatory system that monitors blood pH and makes necessary adjustments to restore it to normal levels. This system involves the lungs, kidneys, and cells working together to produce and eliminate acids or bases as needed.

Section 3: Investigating the Effects of Acidosis and Alkalosis
- Topic: Experimental Design
- Question: How do acidosis and alkalosis affect endogenous acid production?
- Answer: Studies were conducted in man and rats to investigate the effects of acidosis and alkalosis on lactic acid production in the forearm under anerobic conditions. The results showed that both acidosis and alkalosis affected endogenous acid production, with acidosis increasing lactic acid production and alkalosis decreasing it.

Conclusion:
Understanding the physiological importance and consequences of a newly described feedback regulatory system that controls acid-base homeostasis by regulating endogenous acid production is essential for maintaining proper pH balance in the body. This lesson has explored the causes and consequences of acidosis and alkalosis, the feedback regulatory system, and the effects of these conditions on endogenous acid production. By applying these concepts, we can better understand how to maintain acid-base homeostasis and prevent related complications.

Glossary:
- Acidosis: A condition where there is too much acid in the blood.
- Alkalosis: A condition where there is too much base in the blood.
- Endogenous: Produced within the body.
- Exogenous: Coming from outside the body.
- Feedback regulatory system: A system that monitors blood pH and makes necessary adjustments to restore it to normal levels.
- Lactic acid: A byproduct of anaerobic metabolism that can cause acidosis when present in excess.

Q:

Lightning Web Components - Benefits and Support

Salesforce announced Lightning Web Components in Dec. 2018. In comparison to the existing Aura Framework:

What are the benefits of using Lightning Web Components? / How much faster are they?
Where are Lightning Web Components supported?
How are LWC compatible to existing Aura Components?

A:

If you are considering LWC, and would like see code samples and how to implement LWC, including interoperability with Aura, take a look at the lwc-recipes sample app. It's maintained by Salesforce Developer Relations. You can find it (and contribute to it) on github.

What are the benefits of using Lightning Web Components?
LWC is built on web standards for almost all of the code involved, with a minimal amount of "custom code" that represents the core Aura runtime that underlies both technologies (as mentioned in the opening blog post). This means they are more secure (LWC adds CSS isolation, leverages native DOM support for better performance, and uses more web-standards JavaScript that can be optimized better).
Also, LWC automatically provides polyfills for older browsers, rather than having code silently (or often not-so-silently) fail on IE 11 and older versions of Safari/Chrome/Firefox. In addition, we have new component "types", such as service components; they have no UI so they use no markup, but can export methods for other components to import in just a single line of code. No more static resources just to share code within a set of components.
LWC itself has a richer API based on the UI-API for better performance and less Apex to write, and calling Apex is now a less painful experience. API support for third-party APIs is also improved, allowing you to call code in a safe, secure manner in ways that are not possible or required Apex code in Aura components.
LWC provides support for the Jest testing framework through the sfdx-lwc-jest plugin. This means you can now write unit tests for your client-side logic in a standard format. In Aura, you were expected to find your own testing framework, like Jasmine or something else. This will help improve your client logic, the same way that Apex unit tests can help improve your server-side logic.
LWC leverages a combination of knowledge of Aura and web components (the general standards), so developers with experience in web components can get in to LWC faster, and developers familiar with Aura will already know most of the major standard components already; you just need to translate them from the old syntax to the new. Should you decide to port an Aura component to LWC, it will be a straight-forward process, since they can be converted almost 1:1 (there are some major differences, but those are very limited).
So, better security, better testing, better browser compatibility, better performance, generally smaller components in terms of overall markup and script size, less need for Apex, less need for multiple Apex controllers, and strong leverage of already existing/established knowledge and skills from both Salesforce development and general web component development.
How much faster are they?
In the opening blog post, they say "we don't know, but it's better" (paraphrased, of course). Salesforce also mentions that customers have reported that Lightning Experience is faster than it was a year ago, and that's partly because the UI is now mostly LWC, and the all/most standard Lightning part of the Lightning Component library is LWC under the covers, which has contributed to faster Aura performance. So, anecdotally, it's better. But we're probably not going to know until someone with a lot of time on their hands converts a bunch of components and does a side-by-side comparison.
Where are Lightning Web Components supported?
According to the docs, as of Spring '20, LWC support is as follows:
Supported features

Lightning Experience
Salesforce App
Lightning Communities
Lightning App Builder
Community Builder
Standalone Apps
Lightning Components for Visualforce
Lightning Out (beta)
Custom Tabs
Utility Bars
Flows
First-Generation Managed Packages
Second-Generation Managed Packages
Unlocked Packages
Unmanaged Packages
Change Sets
Metadata API—LightningComponentBundle
Tooling API—LightningComponentBundle, LightningComponentResource
EMP API
Embedded Service Chat
Gmail and Outlook integration

Unsupported features

Salesforce Console APIs (Navigation Item API, Workspace API, Utility Bar API)
URL Addressable Tabs
Conversation Toolkit API, Omni Toolkit API, Quick Action API
Standard Action Overrides, Custom Actions, Global Actions, List View Actions, Related List View Actions
Chatter Extensions

One additional missing piece is the lack of built-in documentation. Aura provided the Auradoc feature in the Aura bundle. No such feature exists yet for LWC.
How are LWC compatible to existing Aura Components?
The syntax itself is pretty different, so there will be significant portions of your code you'll have to rewrite to convert an Aura component to an LWC. That said, if you're familiar with Aura, it's easy to do the conversion, and familiarity with React and other JavaScript web component frameworks will aid in helping understand LWC. Even better, LWC experience will make it easier to learn other standards-based web component frameworks, unlike Aura, which is proprietary in comparison.
LWC components can be placed in Aura components, but Aura components may not be used in LWC components. For this reason, you'll want to start converting your code from the utility/widget portion of your components before converting main components. You'll need to check the "supported experience" list above before trying to convert top-level Aura components to LWC.
Both Aura and LWC components can coexist in the same Lightning page. With the beta release of Lightning Message Service they can communicate with each other (and with Visualforce pages) via events.
In cases where you can't use LWC immediately, you can always put those on a backlog or, just not worry about it, since Aura will be around for a while. The more components you convert to LWC, the better performance you can expect from your components overall. Converting your core UI components from Aura to LWC won't require any major inconvenience in your existing Aura components, because they look like Aura components in Aura.
To Sum Up
Since its initial release a year ago LWC has had significant improvements such that unless you are inhibited by one of the specific limitations listed above, there is nothing preventing you from building any custom UI project using LWC.
Furthermore, everything in LWC is far simpler than Aura. There are fewer overall "gotchas" than Aura. Finally, if you're just starting out developing on the platform there's a lot less to learn to begin using LWC, because it's a very lean API, in a good way.

## Chapter 2: Installation and Setup

### Section 2.1: Installing LWC
To install LWC, you will need to follow these steps:
1. Install Node.js if you haven't already.
2. Navigate to your Salesforce org's developer console.
3. Click on "Setup" and then "Create" to create a new package.
4. Enter a name for the package and click "Create".
5. Download the package and unzip it.
6. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the unzipped package folder.
7. Run the command "npm install" to install LWC.

### Section 2.2: Setting up LWC
Once you have installed LWC, you will need to set it up in your Salesforce org. To do this, you will need to:
1. Create a new Visualforce page.
2. Add the LWC script to the Visualforce page.
3. Save the Visualforce page.
4. Open the newly created Visualforce page in your browser.

## Chapter 3: Creating Your First LWC Component

### Section 3.1: Creating a simple LWC component
To create a simple LWC component, you will need to:
1. Create a new folder for your LWC component.
2. Create an HTML file inside the folder with the following code:
```html
<template>
  <div>Hello, world!</div>
</template>
```
3. Create a JavaScript file inside the folder with the following code:
```javascript
import { LightningElement, wire } from 'luminar';
export default class MyComponent extends LightningElement {
  @wire(/* wires */) wire;
  connectedCallback() {
    console.log('MyComponent connected');
  }
  disconnectedCallback() {
    console.log('MyComponent disconnected');
  }
}
```
4. Register your component in the App.js file by adding the following code:
```javascript
import { createCustomBlock } from 'luminar';
const MyComponent = createCustomBlock('my-component', {
  template: '<my-component></my-component>',
});
customElements.define(MyComponent.is, MyComponent);
```
5. Use the component in your Visualforce page by adding the following code:
```html
<c:MyComponent />
```

### Section 3.2: Testing your LWC component
To test your LWC component, you will need to:
1. Create a new test file inside the folder with the following code:
```javascript
import { expect } from 'chai';
import { shallow } from 'enzyme';
import MyComponent from './MyComponent';
describe('MyComponent', () => {
  it('renders without crashing', () => {
    const wrapper = shallow(<MyComponent />);
    expect(wrapper).to.not.have.ownProperty('state');
    expect(wrapper).to.not.have.ownProperty('props');
    expect(wrapper.find('div')).to.have.length(1);
  });
});
```
2. Run the tests using the following command:
```
npx jest
```

## Chapter 4: Advanced Topics

### Section 4.1: Custom Events
LWC provides a simple way to define custom events using the `wire` decorator. To define a custom event, you will need to:
1. Define the event type using the `event` keyword.
2. Call the `wire` decorator on the event type.
3. Pass in the event data as arguments to the `wire` decorator.
Here is an example of defining a custom event:
```javascript
import { wire } from 'luminar';
export default class MyComponent extends LightningElement {
  @wire({
    event: 'myEvent',
  })
  onMyEvent({ event }) {
    // Handle the event here
  }
}
```

### Section 4.2: Styling Components
LWC provides a simple way to style components using CSS. To style a component, you will need to:
1. Create a new folder for your LWC component.
2. Create a CSS file inside the folder with the following code:
```css
.my-component {
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
}
```
3. Use the component in your Visualforce page by adding the following code:
```html
<c:MyComponent style="background-color: #222;" />
```

## Conclusion
In this lesson, we covered the basics of Lightning Web Components, including their benefits, supported platforms, compatibility with Aura Components, and how to create and test a simple LWC component. We also touched on advanced topics such as custom events and styling components. With this foundation, you are now ready to build powerful and modern applications using LWC.


text: Do Microbes Trigger Alzheimer’s Disease?. Excerpted from The Scentist : (09/01/2017).. Allen had recently proposed a novel role for biofilms—colonies of bacteria that adhere to surfaces and are largely resistant to immune attack or antibiotics—in eczema. He suggested that because biofilms block skin ducts and trigger innate immune responses, they may cause the stubborn skin condition. Allen knew of recent work showing that Lyme spirochetes form biofilms,2which led him to wonder if biofilms might also play a role in Alzheimer’s disease. When Allen stained for biofilms in brains from deceased Alzheimer’s patients, he found them in the same hippocampal locations as amyloid plaques.3 Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), a key player in innate immunity, was also present in the same region of the Alzheimer’s brains but not in the controls. He hypothesizes that TLR2 is activated by the presence of bacteria, but is locked out by the biofilm and damages the surrounding tissue instead... For more:

Lesson: Introduction to Biofilms and their Role in Alzheimer's Disease

**Objective:** To introduce the concept of biofilms, their formation, and their potential role in Alzheimer's disease.

**Key Concepts:** Biofilms, Alzheimer's disease, Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), innate immunity, amyloid plaques.

**Materials:** None

**Activity:**
1. Begin by asking students what they think biofilms are.
2. Explain that biofilms are communities of bacteria that adhere to surfaces and form a protective matrix. They are resistant to immune attacks and antibiotics.
3. Ask students if they know any diseases that involve biofilms. Discuss the role of biofilms in chronic wounds, cystic fibrosis, and dental plaque.
4. Introduce the idea that biofilms may also play a role in Alzheimer's disease. Show the image of a biofilm and explain its structure.
5. Explain that Dr. Allen's research has shown that biofilms are present in the same hippocampal regions as amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's patients.
6. Discuss the role of TLR2 in innate immunity and its presence in the same region of the Alzheimer's brain as biofilms.
7. Hypothesize that TLR2 may be activated by the presence of bacteria but is locked out by the biofilm, causing damage to the surrounding tissue.
8. End the activity by asking students to think about how this information could be used to develop new treatments for Alzheimer's disease.

**Questions for Critical Thinking:**
1. What evidence do we have that biofilms play a role in Alzheimer's disease?
2. How might biofilms contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease?
3. What are some potential challenges in studying biofilms and their role in Alzheimer's disease?

**Glossary:**
- Biofilms: Communities of bacteria that adhere to surfaces and form a protective matrix.
- Alzheimer's disease: A progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes.
- Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2): A protein involved in innate immunity that recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns.
- Innate immunity: The first line of defense against infections, consisting of physical barriers, cellular components, and soluble factors.
- Amyloid plaques: Abnormal accumulations of proteins in the brain that are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease.

**Conclusion:** In this activity, we introduced the concept of biofilms and their potential role in Alzheimer's disease. Students learned about the structure and formation of biofilms and their presence in the same hippocampal regions as amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's patients. They also learned about the role of TLR2 in innate immunity and its presence in the same region of the Alzheimer's brain as biofilms. By understanding the role of biofilms in Alzheimer's disease, researchers may be able to develop new treatments for this devastating condition.

Lesson: Understanding Body Fat Percentage and Its Impact on Health

## Introduction
Body fat percentage is a measure of the amount of fat in the body relative to the total weight. It is an important indicator of overall health and wellness. In this lesson, we will learn about body fat percentage, its impact on health, and ways to reduce it.

## Section 1: Understanding Body Fat Percentage

**Topic 1: What is Body Fat Percentage?**
Body fat percentage refers to the proportion of fat in the body compared to the total weight. It is usually expressed as a percentage. For example, if a person weighs 100 pounds and has 20 pounds of fat, their body fat percentage would be 20%.

**Topic 2: How is Body Fat Percentage Measured?**
There are several methods to measure body fat percentage, including skinfold measurements, bioelectrical impedance analysis, and underwater weighing. Each method has its advantages and limitations, and the most accurate method depends on the individual's body type and other factors.

**Topic 3: Why is Body Fat Percentage Important?**
Body fat percentage is an important indicator of overall health and wellness. Excess body fat can increase the risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Additionally, having too little body fat can also lead to health problems, particularly for women.

## Section 2: Impact of Body Fat Percentage on Health

**Topic 1: Health Risks of High Body Fat Percentage**
Having a high body fat percentage can increase the risk of developing several chronic diseases, including:

- Type 2 diabetes: Excess body fat, especially around the abdomen, can cause insulin resistance, leading to high blood sugar levels and eventually type 2 diabetes.
- Cardiovascular disease: Excess body fat, particularly in the abdominal area, can contribute to the development of plaque in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
- High blood pressure: Excess body fat can cause the blood vessels to narrow, leading to high blood pressure.
- Cancer: Excess body fat has been linked to an increased risk of certain types of cancer, including breast, colon, and pancreatic cancer.

**Topic 2: Health Risks of Low Body Fat Percentage**
Having too little body fat can also have negative health consequences, particularly for women. Low body fat can lead to:

- Menstrual irregularities: Low body fat can disrupt the normal hormonal balance required for regular menstruation.
- Infertility: Low body fat can interfere with the normal functioning of the reproductive system, making it difficult to conceive a child.

## Section 3: Ways to Reduce Body Fat Percentage

**Topic 1: Diet and Nutrition**
Reducing body fat percentage involves burning more calories than are consumed. A healthy diet that includes a balanced mix of macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) is essential for good health and weight management. Some tips for reducing body fat include:

- Eat a balanced diet rich in whole foods, including plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.
- Limit processed and sugary foods, as they are often high in calories and low in nutrients.
- Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and avoid overeating.

**Topic 2: Physical Activity**
Regular physical activity is crucial for reducing body fat percentage. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week, spread out over three to five days. Examples of moderate-intensity exercises include brisk walking, cycling, and swimming.

**Topic 3: Lifestyle Changes**
In addition to diet and exercise, several lifestyle changes can help reduce body fat percentage:

- Get enough sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night to support healthy hormone levels and metabolism.
- Manage stress: Chronic stress can lead to weight gain, so find healthy ways to manage stress, such as meditation, yoga, or talking to a therapist.
- Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help control appetite and support healthy digestion.

## Conclusion
Understanding body fat percentage and its impact on health is essential for maintaining good health and preventing chronic diseases. By following a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and making other lifestyle changes, it is possible to reduce body fat percentage and improve overall health.

Lesson: Introduction to Healthcare Systems

### Section 1: What is a Healthcare System?
A healthcare system refers to the organization and coordination of all healthcare activities and services within a particular country or region. It includes everything from preventive care to curative and rehabilitative services, as well as palliative care for those nearing the end of life.

### Section 2: Why are Healthcare Systems Important?
Healthcare systems are essential because they provide access to medical care and prevention services that help people stay healthy, manage chronic conditions, and recover from illness or injury. A well-functioning healthcare system can also help reduce health disparities and improve overall population health.

### Section 3: How do Healthcare Systems Work?
Healthcare systems can vary greatly depending on the country or region, but they typically involve multiple stakeholders such as government agencies, private companies, and non-profit organizations. These stakeholders work together to provide a range of services, including primary care, specialist care, hospitalization, prescription drugs, and more.

### Section 4: Types of Healthcare Systems
There are several different types of healthcare systems, including single-payer systems, multi-payer systems, and out-of-pocket systems. Single-payer systems are funded primarily by the government, while multi-payer systems involve a combination of public and private funding. Out-of-pocket systems require individuals to pay for their own healthcare costs.

### Section 5: Key Statistics
According to the World Health Organization, the global healthcare spending was estimated at $7.8 trillion in 2019. This represents an increase of 4% from the previous year. In the United States alone, healthcare spending accounts for approximately 18% of the country's GDP.

### Conclusion:
Understanding healthcare systems is essential for anyone interested in pursuing a career in healthcare or public health. By learning about the different types of healthcare systems and their roles in providing access to medical care, we can better understand how to advocate for improved health outcomes and contribute to the field in meaningful ways.

Lesson: Introduction to Digital Cameras

**Introduction**
Digital cameras are devices that capture images electronically and store them in a digital format. They have become an essential tool in various fields such as science, medicine, and engineering. In this lesson, we will learn about the basic components of a digital camera, how they work, and their applications.

**Section 1: Basic Components of a Digital Camera**
A digital camera consists of several components that work together to capture and store images. These components include the sensor, lens, image processor, and memory card.

- **Sensor:** The sensor is the component that captures light and converts it into electrical signals. There are two types of sensors: charge-coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS). CMOS sensors are more common because they are cheaper and use less power.

- **Lens:** The lens is the component that focuses light onto the sensor. It is responsible for the quality of the image produced by the camera. The lens can be changed on some cameras to enable the user to take pictures with different fields of view or to change the focal length.

- **Image Processor:** The image processor is the brain of the camera. It interprets the signals from the sensor and processes them to produce a digital image. The image processor also controls the camera's settings such as white balance, ISO, and shutter speed.

- **Memory Card:** The memory card is where the camera stores the digital images. It can be removed and replaced with another card, allowing the user to transfer the images to a computer or printer.

**Section 2: How Digital Cameras Work**
When you press the shutter button on a digital camera, several things happen simultaneously. First, the lens opens to allow light to enter the camera. Then, the sensor captures the light and converts it into electrical signals. The image processor interprets these signals and produces a digital image. Finally, the image is stored on the memory card.

**Section 3: Applications of Digital Cameras**
Digital cameras have many applications in various fields. Some of these applications include:

- **Science:** Scientists use digital cameras to record experiments and observations. For example, astronomers use cameras to capture images of stars and planets.

- **Medicine:** Doctors use digital cameras to take pictures of patients' injuries or illnesses. These images can be used to diagnose and treat conditions.

- **Engineering:** Engineers use digital cameras to document their designs and projects. They can also use the cameras to take measurements and record data.

**Conclusion**
In this lesson, we learned about the basic components of a digital camera, how they work, and their applications. Digital cameras are versatile tools that have many uses in science, medicine, and engineering. By understanding how they work, we can apply this knowledge to new problems and challenges.

## Introduction
Investment banking is a lucrative career that involves helping companies raise capital, manage their finances, and make strategic decisions. This lesson will provide an introduction to investment banking, including the core principles and skills required to succeed in this field.

## Section 1: What is Investment Banking?
Investment banking is a type of banking that involves raising capital for companies, governments, and other organizations. It is a branch of finance that provides advisory services and underwriting services to these entities. Investment banks help their clients to raise capital through various means such as issuing securities (stocks, bonds, etc.), mergers and acquisitions, and other financial transactions.

## Section 2: Core Principles of Investment Banking
There are several core principles that are essential to understanding investment banking:

1. Risk Management: Investment bankers must understand and manage risk to ensure that their clients' investments are safe. They do this by analyzing financial data, assessing the creditworthiness of borrowers, and determining the appropriate level of risk for each transaction.

text: The first thing to learn in BojiLite is how to stand in the basic posture. This is important.. Why?. The reason is because when an opponent attacks you the techniques will either travel to you in a straight line or via curved line to the center of your body where the vital targets are.. Knowing where your center is and fixing it in your mind is also essential to learning how to step out of the way of an attack just right instead of moving too much.. So the first learning exercise is to sit in the Basic Posture. After you have fixed your posture just stand there for a moment. Calm your mind and compose yourself.. Then in your mind imagine that an opponent is going to throw a straight right punch at your chin.. That’s it. We don’t have to imagine the opponent throwing a straight left punch for now..

Characterization of several leukemia-associated antigens inducing humoral immune responses in acute and chronic myeloid leukemia.
To design a specific immunotherapy for leukemia patients, the identification of leukemia-associated antigens (LAAs) is a pivotal step. Antileukemic effects after hematopoetic stem cell transplantation for myeloid leukemias are observed and might be related to the recognition of LAAs. Using the serological screening of an expression library (SEREX) of K562 cells, we identified 16 different clones encoding LAAs eliciting a humoral immune response, among them the heat shock proteins HSJ2 and HSP70, the M-phase phosphoprotein 11 (MPP11), the BRCA1-associated protein (BRAP), the Jkappa recombination binding protein (RBPJkappa) and the receptor for hyaluronic acid mediated motility (RHAMM). Serological responses to MPP11 were observed in 7/19 (37%) of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 6/16 (38%) of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), but not in healthy volunteers (0/20). IgG antibodies directed against MPP11 were also detected in 25-50% of the sera of patients with solid tumors such as melanoma, renal cell, ovarian and breast carcinoma. mRNA expression of MPP11 was detected in 20/20 AML patients and 7/10 patients with CML. In normal tissues, strong mRNA expression of MPP11 was only detected in testis. By real-time PCR, we detected upregulation of MPP11 in leukemic blasts. Simultaneous humoral immune responses to 2 or more of the 16 LAAs identified here was observed, suggesting the feasibility of a polyvalent vaccination as an option for immunotherapies in leukemia patients.

Lesson: Introduction to Leukemia-Associated Antigens

Overview: In this lesson, we will learn about Leukemia-Associated Antigens (LAAs) and their role in the immune system. We will cover the following topics:

1. What are LAAs?
2. How do LAAs contribute to leukemia development?
3. How can LAAs be used in immunotherapy?

Section 1: What are LAAs?

LAAs are proteins or other molecules that are found on the surface of leukemia cells but not on normal cells. They can be detected by the immune system and used to target leukemia cells for destruction.

Section 2: How do LAAs contribute to leukemia development?

LAAs play a role in the development and progression of leukemia by helping leukemia cells evade the immune system. For example, some LAAs can interfere with the normal functioning of immune cells, allowing leukemia cells to grow and spread unchecked.

Section 3: How can LAAs be used in immunotherapy?

Immunotherapy is a type of treatment that uses the immune system to fight cancer. LAAs can be used in immunotherapy to help the immune system recognize and attack leukemia cells. This can be done by creating vaccines that contain LAAs or by using drugs that stimulate the immune system to attack leukemia cells that express certain LAAs.

Conclusion: Understanding LAAs and their role in leukemia development is crucial for developing effective immunotherapies. By targeting LAAs, we can help the immune system recognize and destroy leukemia cells, potentially leading to more effective treatments for leukemia patients.

Lesson: Balancing Human and Wildlife Needs

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will explore the importance of balancing human needs with those of wildlife. We will learn about the challenges faced by tigers due to habitat loss and how conservation efforts can help both humans and wildlife.

Section 1: Understanding the Problem

Topic 1: Habitat Loss
- Define habitat: The natural environment in which an animal or plant lives, grows, and thrives.
- Explain how habitat loss affects tigers: As forests are destroyed for agriculture, logging, and urban development, tigers lose their homes and prey.

Topic 2: Human-Wildlife Conflict
- Define conflict: A disagreement or argument between two or more parties.
- Explain how tigers and humans conflict: Tigers may prey on livestock, leading to retaliation from humans and potential harm to both tigers and people.

Section 2: Conservation Efforts

Topic 1: Collaborative Conservation
- Define collaboration: Working together with others to achieve a common goal.
- Explain how organizations like Woodland Park Zoo and Panthera work with local partners to conserve tigers and their habitats.

Topic 2: Sustainable Forestry
- Define sustainable: Able to be maintained or continued at a certain rate or level.
- Explain how sustainable forestry practices can help protect tiger habitats while providing wood for human use.

Section 3: Applying the Concept

Topic 1: Analyzing a Situation
- Describe a hypothetical situation where a community is considering building a new road through a forested area.
- Ask students to consider how this decision could impact tiger populations and human communities.

Topic 2: Developing Solutions
- Ask students to brainstorm ways to balance the needs of tigers and humans in this situation.
- Encourage students to think creatively and consider options such as building wildlife crossings or creating alternative transportation routes.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, balancing the needs of humans and wildlife is essential for maintaining healthy ecosystems and sustainable livelihoods. Through collaborative conservation efforts and sustainable practices, we can ensure that both humans and tigers can thrive. By applying the concepts learned in this lesson, we can make informed decisions that benefit both parties.

Dehydrogenation, Methyl Elimination and Insertion Reactions of the Agostic Methyl-Bridged Complex [Mo2 Cp2 (μ-κ1 :η2 -CH3 )(μ-PtBu2 )(μ-CO)].
The high unsaturation of the title complex enabled it to react with a wide variety of molecules under mild conditions, whereby the agostic methyl ligand underwent unusual or unprecedented processes. Methane elimination occurred in the reactions with PPh2 H and SiPh2 H2 , this being followed in the latter case by Si-H bond oxidative addition to give the hydride silylene derivative [Mo2 Cp2 H(μ-PtBu2 )(μ-SiPh2 )(CO)]. Dehydrogenation, however, was the dominant process in the room temperature reaction with [Fe2 (CO)9 ], to give the unsaturated methylidyne cluster [Mo2 FeCp2 (μ3 -CH)(μ-PtBu2 )(CO)5 ] (Mo-Mo=2.6770(8) Å). In contrast, PMe elimination took place in the reaction with P4 , to give the unsaturated triphosphorus complex [Mo2 Cp2 (μ-η3 :η3 -P3 )(μ-PtBu2 )] (Mo-Mo=2.6221(3) Å). Yet a most remarkable reaction occurred with BH3 ⋅THF, involving insertion of two BH3 units and dehydrogenation to yield [Mo2 Cp2 (μ-B2 H4 Me)(μ-PtBu2 )(CO)], with the novel methyldiboranyl ligand acting as a 5-electron donor due to the presence of two 3-centre, 2-electron B-H-Mo interactions, according to spectroscopic data and DFT calculations (Mo-Mo ca. 2.65 Å).

**Lesson:** Understanding Sound Waves and Their Properties

**Introduction:** Sound waves are all around us, but what exactly are they? In this lesson, we will explore the properties of sound waves and how they relate to the world around us.

**Section 1: What are Sound Waves?**
Sound waves are vibrations that travel through the air or other media and can be heard when they reach our ears. These vibrations create pressure waves that move through the air, allowing us to hear sounds such as music, speech, and even our own voice.

**Section 2: Properties of Sound Waves**
Sound waves have several properties that make them unique. These include:

- Frequency: The number of times a sound wave oscillates per second. Higher frequencies result in higher pitches, while lower frequencies produce lower pitches.
- Amplitude: The strength of the sound wave, which determines how loud the sound is. Louder sounds have larger amplitudes, while quieter sounds have smaller amplitudes.
- Wavelength: The distance between two consecutive points on a wave moving in the same direction as the wave is propagating. Longer wavelengths result in lower pitches, while shorter wavelengths produce higher pitches.

**Section 3: Practical Applications**
Understanding sound waves and their properties has many practical applications in our daily lives. For example:

- Musicians use their knowledge of sound waves to create music that sounds pleasing to the ear.
- Engineers design buildings with soundproofing materials to reduce the transmission of noise between rooms.
- Doctors use stethoscopes to listen to internal sounds within the human body, such as heartbeat and lung sounds.

**Conclusion:** In this lesson, we learned about the properties of sound waves and how they are used in everyday life. By understanding these properties, we can better appreciate the world of sound around us.

**Glossary:**
- Frequency: The number of times a sound wave oscillates per second.

Q:

Any flexible customizable theme for display configuration via panels?

Recently, I have been trying to design pages using panels and mini-panels. I followed some tutorial online, but the method used was a bit questionable. Since I am a newbie at this, I crashed my system beyond all repair, lol, but I managed to export valuable configuration and reload it on a fresh install. So, I am happy enough with that...
I have been playing with changing colors under Bartik, but honestly, that won't be enough...
I am looking for a flexible theme that will allows me to easily design the layout of pages from scratch using panels (most preferably). Ideally, I should be able to configure colors and fonts easily and the basic template should be simple and elegant. I want to load my own pictures to customize it (i.e., no preloaded pictures or they should be made removable).
Basically, the site is about sharing tips. Users will be able to put comments and vote for posts made by an editor. Nothing crazy.
Does anyone have a good recommendation to make for Drupal 7? Is there any such thing as a newbie-proof template? Thanks.

A:

After doing more reading and video watching, I got to understand that some specific themes have been created for the Panels Everywhere module. It does not really make sense to use panels without panels everywhere. I am using Precision.
The Omega theme and Zen theme suggested in other answers are indeed powerful themes, but they don't integrate with panels. These are based on blocks, regions and zones.

textbook:
earching for a flexible theme that can be customized using panels and mini-panels in Drupal 7? Here are some recommendations that might fit your needs:
