For my M. Sc project I given the following title:\nA PRELIMINARY STUDY ON THE DEGRADATION OF QERICITRIN BY PSEUDOMONAS PUTIDA\n\n1. Should I underline the terms PSEUDOMONAS PUTIDA?\n2. Should I italize the terms PSEUDOMONAS PUTIDA?\n\nOr is there anyother format?

The genus should begin with a capital and the species all small. Italicize both words. \n\nUsually in print, the genus and species names  are italicized and in writing they are underlined because you can't make out italics in writing.

Since the question is relative to whether it is good or not:\nYes, it is.\nWould you like us to work it out as well? I appreciate that it must come right out of a quesiton from, perhaps, your homework? Otherwise, why the last sentence? "One hint is that it is related to chapter- 'CIRCLES'" Can you attach that entire chapter for us as well?\n\nThanks!

It looks like someone reported it as "not a question" - the way it was phrased makes it hard to tell what you're asking. Try asking it with a more complete sentence in the heading, and maybe it'll last longer.\n\nGood luck!

What class was this in? What grade level? What text were you using?  I may be able to help you if I know the context in which the question was raised. I have a feeling that I am not getting all the information you had. Please tell me and maybe I can help. I am an old chemist and microbiologist.

it is ridiculous and rather anal retentive for you to ask for references when you are asking for a person's opinion.\n\ncan't educated people give their insight without looking up the insight of other educated people?  where do you think they got theirs?  eventually it goes back to common sense and personal observations.  if your point is to bring YA! out of the dumps of misspellings and "i don't know, but thanks for the points!" answers, i respect that, but it won't happen overnight and it won't happen on questions like this just because you stick your signature addendum to the end.\n\nif you absolutely must have sources, you shouldn't put so much faith in internet links.  anyone can put anything on the internet and pass it off as fact.  do you believe them because their site design is superb, or because they pretend to be a physician?  if you want online sources, find them at google scholar or pub med.  even wikipedia is riddled with errors.  if you want better sources, try your doctor's office for medical journals, or your local library, or ask specific questions to an expert.\n\n\nas for answering your question....\n\nfirst, antibiotics are not the cure for a bacterial infection, they are only part of the cure.  the other part is the immune system.  if you use enough antibiotic to kill every last bit of the infection, you'll also kill most or all of the beneficial strains of bacteria which we need.  most bacteria found in the human body are beneficial or harmless bacteria.  very few actually make people sick.  but antibiotics will kill any bacteria that is structurally similar to the target infective strain.  as a result, the helpful bacteria may be wiped out and the person will feel worse as they can't perform certain body functions without bacteria.  so usually you take a dose of antibiotic three times a day to wipe out most of the parent cells (or just prevent them from reproducing), and then let your immune system concentrate it's efforts on the remaining harmful bacteria.  a few days worth of treatment will make the person feel much better, but if there is even one cell of resistant bacteria, the infection can come back as that cell reproduces exponentially.  the infection will be harder to beat the second time.  so continuing treatment for several days after improvement is noted is an extra precaution.  (source: any introductory biology text)\n\nmedicine is expensive.  when people are really sick, they don't work and therefore don't earn money.  (if they aren't really sick, they are less likely to seek medical care and therefore won't receive a prescription for antibiotics.)   if they don't start to feel better within a couple of days they probably have a resistant strain of bacteria (or their immune system is compromised) and need to switch to a more expensive, stronger antibiotic.  (source: medical statistics, bacterial life cycle for whatever specific strain interests you, common sense)  if there is no need for additional medication, why push for it?  it's a waste of money at best, and a way for the individual's condition to deteriorate, at worst.\n\nthe point is, if you start to feel a lot better two days after starting the medication, and completely normal within three days... taking antibiotics for twenty-seven more days will not provide more benefit than taking it seven more days, and will probably have negative consequences with regards to helpful bacteria.  just because you feel better, though, doesn't mean your infection is gone.  one bacterium doesn't make a person feel sick.  but one bacterium can turn into a million bacteria very quickly.  for example, under optimum conditions, escherichia coli can divide every 20 minutes.\n\nso let's say you have one e.coli cell.  in twenty minutes you have two.  in two hours you have over 4 billion.  so the antibiotic just makes the conditions less than optimum, either preventing

I think it's a workable quote.\n\nI'd suggest dropping the vulgarity, not because I'm a prude, but because it distracts from the quote when the vulgarity is edited out.  If you only post it where it's not censored, then that's okay.  \n\nI suggest replacing it with one verb.  That way it flows better as the two statements are congruous.  For example:\n"I'm not a slave to a god that doesn't exist.\nI'm not a slave to a world that doesn't care."\n\nActually, I'd rather see "care" replaced with a two-syllable word.  It would flow much better.  I see some okay words like "comfort" and "nurture," but those don't thrill me.\n\nTry this different approach:\n"I'm not a slave to a god that isn't.\nI don't care for a world that doesn't."\n\nKind of twisty with the words.  It might be seen as too pretentious, though.

Find a question that relates to the local area you live in, something you may have noticed, or has controversy.  A saying I like is "One measurement is worth a thousand expert opinions", which is the essence of science.  So find something to measure.  When I was in school (a long time ago) people I knew wondered about whether the local creek was clean enough.  Kids played in the creek and some people fished in it, but I thought it shouldn't foam and have a not quite clear look.  So, I got some sterile petri dishes from the biology lab, got some q-tips, and talked the local hospital pathologist into helping me.  If you need help, ask, you might be surprised, it turned out he was curious too.  Anyway, I learned a bit about how to identify bacteria and yes, the creek was polluted-bad!  I made the front page of the local paper.  I'm not saying do this, but think of a local problem and measure it.  Hope this helps.

I would have put this under Words and Wordplay, but here is fine.\n\nAs for the question, it really is a question of situation. Contract the two that you don't want emphasis on.

That is called a "word salad" and I can't fix it.  I would have to print it out and totally re-write the entire mess.\n\nIt's too long, it's too repetitive, it's too confusing, poor sentence structure, no paragraphs... verbs, nouns.. ahhhh  grrrrr,,,,\n\nno, I can't fix it for you.  do it again.. shorten it and get to the point.

Right now I am working in a pre-school laboratory at my college.  I have a mentor teacher who is supposed to teach me the aspects of teaching and monitor my work.  The worst thing she does is give unclear instructions then gets upset when I don't produce the desired results.\n\nShe asked me to have a description of my agenda for the day  posted on the parent board.  Then she got upset that I didn't have it formatted in a certain way.  How am I supposed to know that: "have a description," translates into "I want it done exactly like this"?  Sorry, I guess I don't speak Mentor Teacher.  I need someone else to translate for me.
