The file “Homework 6 Data.xlsx” contains the results of a QTL analysis of stem rust severity (%) for wheat chromosome 3B.  The analysis used homozygous inbred lines from a resistant parent × susceptible parent cross, and an SNP-based chip for wheat.  The mean disease severities for both parental genotypes at each of >200 marker locations, as well as the significance (-log10 p-value) of the marker-phenotype associations, are provided.•How many quantitative loci can be identified? What is their estimated location and effect size?

Photosynthesis is arguably one of the most important processes on Earth – essentially all life depends on it. Humans and other animals depend on plants to capture the energy of the sun and use that energy to manufacture carbohydrates – subsequently releasing the oxygen that we breathe. But plants are vital to our lives in other ways as well. Think about the pencil you write with (or used to), the toothpick you used last night, the cotton T-shirt you wore today or the maple syrup you had on your pancakes this morning. These all came from plants! Ethnobotany is the study of the relationship between plants and people – plants used for practical, ceremonial, spiritual, medicinal, decorative, edible, etc. purposes. You are to find a plant product that we use every day, and do not pick one that your classmates have already chosen. Make sure to include the product name in the title of your discussion post so that others can quickly see what you have chosen.Do some research and address the following:From what plant does your product come? Include the common and scientific name (properly formatted).What is the product? What does it do? How do we extract it from the plant. Describe in detail.What is the primary use: medicinal, ceremonial, etc.?Are there commercial fields for the plant? Where?Are there any substitutes for your product? If there is no information, feel free to take an educated guess and support it.What is the most fascinating thing you learned about your product?Follow the discussion grading criteria, guidelines and instructions for posting and replying to peers.For More Information:Missouri Botanical Garden: http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/plant-conservation/plant-conservation/conservation-in-action/plants-and-people.aspxNew York Botanical Garden: https://www.nybg.org/plant-research-and-conservation/explore/plants-and-people/TEDX Video: https://youtu.be/st4K_RYw16E

Why protein structure determination is very important in drug design? What is the impact in terms of science, health, and cost?

write an article on compare/contrast born to be good and biology of belief Paper must be at least 3000 words. Please, no plagiarized work! He was interested in studying emotions and how these emotions contributed in our lives socially. He was also influenced by Paul Ekman, who was his teacher, also a pioneer in the field of behavioral psychology. In 1970, Ekman worked on the facial expressions of various individuals to encode the hidden messages behind these emotional signals. Thus, Keltner sought inspiration on his and contributed greatly towards the study of innate positive emotions. On the other hand, Dr. Bruce Lipton, also a well renowned professor, taught Cell Biology at the University of Wisconsin`s School of Medicine. Also, he had conducted his research during his stay at Stanford as a student. After having exposed to the area of genetics as well as cell biology, he managed to reveal many myths associated with individuals, genes and human behavior. The main difference between the two lies in the basic nature V nurture debate, where Keltner places his assumptions regarding positive emotions in the context of innate psychological makeup which an individual naturally possess. In contrast, Lipton is of the view that human genetic have a limited role to play in the conditioning of the individual, as the for the most part the environmental factors are responsible for the development of behavioral patterns. In order to contrast the two works, it is first important to study the works in detail. Studying the work of Keltner in his book, Born to be Good, one is able to drawn clear patterns about his views regarding human emotions. The basic idea which he tried to propagate through the book relates to the positive emotions possessed by the humans. He is of the view that all humans, good or bad, have an innate ability to avoid the “nasty, brutish and short”, and instead all human tend to naturally lead a happy and a helpful life (Keltner pp 17) This implies that though some humans are found to possess the evil traits as well, but still they are naturally born to do the opposite, i.e. to live a contented life aim at keeping everyone around us happy. His main argument lies in the proposition that, if so many people are of the view that humans are evil by nature then what is it that compels them to portray positive emotions like gratification, awe, compassion and the like? (Keltner pp11) He is also a believer in the assumption that true happiness is achieved by social connections which are in turn a product of positive human emotions towards each other. Keltner applies his scientific knowledge and expertise in the field, and tries to explore all aspects of positive human emotions. As mentioned above, Keltner (pp 231) applies scientific data to the emotional behaviors and puts in all his efforts and expertise to explore the reasons behind the positive human emotions which they exhibit. He tries to identify the sole factors driving these positive human emotions and compassion towards each other to make logically sound conclusions. He also talks about the evils prevailing in the world, as these are also the inevitable aspects of human behavior. however he tends to rather base his arguments on the positive human behavior driving various explanations for the cause. He talks about the altruistic activities stimulated by the individuals, which is more refined in a few people.

To prepare for this Discussion, visit the CDC Wonder site in this week’s resources ( https://wonder.cdc.gov/ ). Investigate the incidence and prevalence of TB in your community (Atlanta GA). What information did you find? Analyze how your community compares to the county, state, or national data for the same topic. Was the incidence and prevalence of each higher or lower than you expected? Consider the following scenario: This is Debbie’s first year working as a nurse at the local health department in a rural county. Most of her days are spent in the clinic seeing clients who often do not have health insurance. Over the past month, Debbie has noticed that several young Hispanic men have come to the health department, each diagnosed with tuberculosis. Debbie is concerned about what the outbreak of tuberculosis among the migrant workers could mean for the community. Through a community health profile, Debbie identifies the group of migrant farmworkers as being at the highest risk for contracting tuberculosis. Using the Epidemiologic Triangle concept, consider the relationship among causal agents, susceptible persons, and environmental factors. Then, respond to the following: As a BSN-prepared community health nurse, what steps should Debbie take next? Considering economic and social considerations within the community, what are the primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions that Debbie might use in managing this outbreak? Can similar interventions be applied to your community and its TB prevalence? What considerations need to be addressed within your community that is different from Debbie’s community? By Day 3Post your response to this Discussion. Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature.
