Mention the H-1B visa program to a group of American programmers or engineers and you may hear a cry of outrage. H-1B visa holders, it is commonly said, are responsible for taking jobs away from hardworking American high-tech workers. In addition, disgruntled American techies often complain that H-1B workers are paid much less than their American counterparts. They claim that companies typically use H-1Bs as cheap labor, and that this results in lowered wages for Americans and foreigners alike. In response, defenders of the H-1B program argue that these foreign workers help the economy grow and that there are adequate safeguards to ensure that they earn comparable wages. The truth, I believe...

Here is how the process works: - Start at one end of the area and dig a one-shovel-deep trench across the width of the plot. Place the soil in a wheelbarrow or off to one side of the garden. - At the bottom of the trench, thoroughly loosen the soil with a...

Many patients with asthma suffer the most in the winter months. Wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, all of these symptoms may be worse during the winter. Why is that? The answer is as common as the common cold. Not only are we entering the holiday season, we're entering the virus season. As children return to school and the weather cools a bit, viruses become much more common. Children congregate at daycare centers, in schools, and adults congregate at work. This allows viruses to spread more readily. How are viruses and asthma connected? When we become infected with a common cold, our body responds rapidly. Within hours our body begins fighting back, but it takes 7-10 days for most people to...

Skin is the human body's largest organ and protects the body from disease, such as infection, and physical damage, and helps to regulate body temperature. Human skin is composed of two major layers, the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis, or outer layer, is composed primarily of keratinocytes, melanocytes, and langerhans type of cells. The dermis is composed primarily of connective tissue fibers such as collagen, which is important for the structural integrity of skin. Along with soft keratin, it is responsible for skin strength and elasticity, and its degradation leads to wrinkles and sagging that accompany aging. When the skin has been seriously damaged through disease, such as diabetic...

Parents often complain that the food their children eat does not "stick with them." That might seem like an advantage if they were aware of what you're about to read.

NEAT is a robust chemical reaction and paves the way for the development of affordable point-of-care diagnostic tests. The technology despite being nascent, and in a state of development, has been successfully deployed by life science research labs all over the world for analyzing mRNA, microRNA, rRNA, and genomic DNA. The NEAT technology works using small oligonucleotides known as NEAT probes. NEAT probes bind to the target nucleic acid sequence. A chemical ligation reaction is encoded in the probes. NEAT probes, which remain stable in solution, produce easily detectable ligation products upon exposure to the target nucleic acid sequence. The nucleic acid acts as a catalyst for the chemical...

As an eukaryotic organism a plant has cells that share many similarities with those from animals. However, there are many specific organelles and features that are not present in animal cells. Two of the main differences are the presence of a vacuole, and of a cell wall, which is mainly constructed of cellulose. Another major feature of a plant cell that is not found in animals is the presence of a class of plastids known as chloroplasts. These contain chlorophyll and are the place where photosynthesis occurs in a plant. Other plastids include the starch containing amyloplasts. It is these key organelles of a plant cell that help to make them unique in the eukaryotic kingdom, of which they share...
