How could pig xenotransplantation affect humans?

Physics

Korolek [52]3 years ago

It could cause them to catch animal disease

Explanation:

Xenotransplantation refers to the transplantation of organs or tissues between different species. E.g. Chimpanzee organ (liver) being transplanted into a human body would come under the category of xenotransplantation.

Pigs have come up as prospective organ donors since their organs and tissues are more or less to that of human’s. However, there are issues such as-

  1. Xenotransplantation of pig’s tissue into a human would allow easier passage for all types of zoonotic viruses.
  2. Moreover, if transgenic pigs are used instead of natural pigs it can lead to virus mutation as per the human body demands thus leading to increased susceptibility to human infection.

Thus,  engrafting of pig’s tissue in the human body poses a significant risk for humans of catching a zoonotic (animal) disease.

A powerful motorcycle can accelerate from rest to 24.8 m/s (55 mi/h) in only 5.90 s. (a) What is its average acceleration in m/s
mel-nik [20]

Answer

given,

initial speed,u = 0 m/s

final speed,v = 24.8 m/s

time, t= 5.9 s

a) acceleration,

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{24.8 - 0}{5.9}

     a = 4.20 m/s²

b) distance to travel in that time

using equation of motion

   v² = u² + 2 as

   24.8² = 0² + 2 x 4.20 x s

       8.4 s = 615.04

          s = 73.22 m

the motorcycle will travel 73.22 m

Normal conversation has a sound level of about 60 db. How many times more intense must a 100-hz sound be compared to a 1000-hz s
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

5.65 times

Explanation:

60 db sound is equal to 60 phons sound when frequency is kept at 1000Hz.

But when the frequency of sound  is changed to 100 Hz , according to equal loudness curves , the loudness level on phon scale will be 35 phons.

A decrease of 10 phon on phon- scale makes sound 2 times less loud

Therefore a decrease of 25 phons will make loudness less intense by a factor equal to 2²°⁵ or 5.65 less intense . Therefore intensity at 100 Hz

must be increased 5.65 times so that its intensity matches intensity of 60 dB sound at  1000 Hz  frequency.

Two identical space probes are orbiting Jupiter. Scientists determine that one of the space probes has a larger gravitational fo
galina1969 [7]

If the probes are identical, then the one that feels a larger gravitational
force is orbiting closer to Jupiter than the other one is.

If they're not identical, then the one with greater mass will feel more
gravitational force than the one with less mass, even if they're both
the same distance from Jupiter.  (We know this from the experimental
observation that fatter people weigh more, even on Earth.)
