In rheumatoid Arthritis patients, NK cell levels were abnormally elevated, possibly due to high serum levels of IL-2.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is an autoimmune disease that means our own immune system attacks self healthy cells in the body by mistake, causing inflammation (painful swelling),mainly attacks the joints.

The given study is to investigate the relationship between serum interleukin-2 (IL-2) levels and disease activity.

This study also showed the relationship between absolute numbers of peripheral lymphocyte subsets, autoantibodies, and associated cytokines in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

The results showed that the number and percentage of NK cells were positively correlated with serum IL-2 levels so, IL-2 can be a reason for elevated level of NK cells

A slice of pizza has 500 kcal. If the pizza is burned and its heat is used to warm a 50-L container of cold water, what would be
Vinvika [58]
Given:
The heat content of the pizza is  Q = 500 kcal 
The volume of the cold water is V = 50 L
The mass of a liter of cold water is 1 kg.

Calculate the mass, M,  of cold water.
M = (50 L)*(1 kg/L) = 50 kg 

The specific heat of water is
c = 4.184 kJ/(kg-K)

Also,
1 kcal = 4184 J, therefore
Q = (500 kcal)*(4184 J/kcal) = 2.092 x 10⁶ J

Let ΔT = increase in temperature of the cold water, °C (same as K).
Then
Q = M*c*ΔT
or 
ΔT = Q/(M*c)
\Delta T =  \frac{(2.092 \times 10^{6} J)}{(50 \, kg)(4.184 \times 10^{3} \,  \frac{J}{kg-K)}) } =10 \,K=10 \,^{o}C

Answer: The temperature increases by 10 °C (or 10 K)

How is framing contributing to the decline in biodiversity
marin [14]
All forms of farming have major impacts on biodiversity, especially when new land is brought into cultivation. Habitats are destroyed and new ecological niches created which allow typical farmland species of birds, insects, mammals and weeds to establish themselves.

Lower temperatures lead to slower soil formation.
MAVERICK [17]
<span>It is true that lower temperatures lead to slower soil formation. The lower the temperature in the air is, the slower the soil is going to form. In order for soil to form properly and completely, it needs to have some warmth because heat helps this process run faster. </span>

What do you notice about the ecological footprint of the United States compared to other countries?
Anton [14]

Answer:

It's large compared to other countries, but only because of consumerism

Explanation:

The United States is the 5th largest ecological footprint in the world, with about half the population contributing to that factor, however this is only because the United States runs specifically on capitalism and consumerism, so every citizen contributes one way or another. America uses high energy and fossil fuel consumption with high functioning biological resources in carbon cycling. So although comparing California to France (because California has a larger footprint.), it's not a fair comparision due to technology
