Detoxification of Xenobiotics by Plant Cells: Characterization of
Vacuolar Amphiphilic Organic Anion Transporters
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion
of plant purification of toxins. Imparts an understanding of the
biochemical mechanism of how plants, either intentionally or by
chance, when exposed to toxins, can purify themselves of those toxins.
Emphasizes that this knowledge has numerous implications and could
even be applied to toxic waste disposal and cleanup. Bibliography
lists 2 sources.

Action And Physical Properties Of Magma
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the origin, movement and physical attributes of the substance that is known as lava once it exits its volcano. Formed under intense heat (up to 4300C) and pressure, magma has no choice but to rise. The absolute chemical composition varies according to location on the earth's surface, and chemical changes in the magma as it moves toward the surface opening it seeks can span a range of changes as minerals are precipitated out of the magma and sink downward through it again. Regrettably, old mudflows of prior eruptions appear to many to be good homesites as builders populate the paths of former mudflow channels with homes in the shadow of still-active volcanoes. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Bacillus cereus
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page paper discussing characteristics of the organism and its ability to cause disease. Though B. cereus food contamination apparently is not a condition against which sufficient protection is possible, it can be managed so that risk of disease
from B. cereus food poisoning can be minimized. Most of the cases of food poisoning resulting from the metabolites of this organism still go unreported and even unrecognized in the diarrheal form, but study of the cases that are reported may be useful in the study of the more serious manifestations of B. cereus contamination such as gangrene and other conditions. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
