Bioinformatics and intellectual property protection

Abstract Intellectual Property is a creative work of human intellect, human creativity and innovation. The main idea of protecting Intellectual property is to encourage and reward creativity. Bioinformatics is a scientific discipline that has emerged in response of the excessive demand for a flexible and intelligent means of storing, managing, querying large and complex biological … Read more

Hydrogen Fuel Cells

BY: Rupali Dhaul, Sam Preshaw, Will Thomas, Jade Yamanaka Hydrogen fuel cell basics What is a fuel cell In today’s society, experts are continuously searching for new forms of renewable energy to minimize greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). Among the many different causes for climate change in Canada, transportation is one of the leading sources, from … Read more

Benefits of cloning

Cloning offers livestock breeders many advantages, at a glimpse being insurance, genetic advancement, and extended genetic influence. Through the cloning process, progressive producers can duplicate the animals that contribute the most value in their herds and advance their goals to produce more efficient and healthier animals, leading to better quality food products (Livestock Cloning 1). … Read more

Factors that affected the activity of enzymes

Numerous trials were conducted on the varying factors affecting catalase reaction rates, focusing specifically on the concentration of hydrogen peroxide. The objective of the lab conducted was to study the several factors that affected the activity of enzymes. Before the trials had been started, it was predicted that the reaction rate would increase as the … Read more

Identification of an Unknown Bacterium found in Urine Sample

This laboratory experiment was conducted with the intent of identifying an unknown bacterium that was found in a patient’s urine sample and to determine if the patient currently was in possession of a UTI. This process involved using a dilution of both the patient’s urine and as a control a student’s urine. This dilution was … Read more

CRISPR technology is imperative, but needs careful regulation

CRISPR-cas9 (CRISPR) technology holds the potential benefit of unlocking a new generation of human health, albeit only with necessary and rigid regulations on its use in research. To maximize the positive potential of CRISPR regulations must ensure equitable access and responsible development while promoting its use in potentially groundbreaking innovations. Next Generation Medical Potential: Promotion … Read more

Investigation into the effect of sudden environmental stress on food vacuoles in the ciliate Spirostomum

Ciliates are unicellular protists that are easily identified by their cilia – small hairlike structures. They use their cilia for locomotion and feeding by producing a current to sweep in bacteria and other food particles. Ciliates take up food by phagocytosis (Luan 2012). This is stored in food vacuoles which are used to transport the … Read more

Creating a soap (experiment)

The goal of this experiment was to make a soap or detergent that had all of these qualities: has to be soluble in water, make a significant amount of bubbles, effectively clean, and the pH of the waste has to be easy to neutralize. The first week, we synthesized the soaps and detergents. Unfortunately, we … Read more

Light bulb plant growing experiment

Background Pigments in plants are what are responsible for color in plants, animals and all things. Pigments absorb some light waves, and the color that we see are the certain light waves that are not absorbed and instead reflected. The main pigment in plants is called chlorophyll A and B. These certain types of pigments … Read more

The effect of temperature on the activity of yeast

AIM The aim of the experiment is to determine the optimum temperature when yeast produces the biggest volume of carbon dioxide and investigate the effects of temperature on the respiration of yeast in a glucose solution. Hypothesis The prediction is that the optimum temperature is 45℃ because if the temperature is high enough, respiration increases … Read more

Photovoltaic systems

HISTORY OF PHOTOVOLTAIC Photovoltaic effect was discovered by a French physicist named Edmund Becquerel in 1839 who had conducted an experiment with an electrolytic cell made up of two metal electrodes. Based on this experiment, Becquerel discovered that with the exposure of light, certain materials produced small amounts of electric current flow. Explanation of photoelectric … Read more

Algebraic structure of the genetic code

Ali and Phukan (2013) arranged all the codons in the  genetic code table (Table 1) by using the Cartesian product of the ring X i.e.,  and denote it as  , where Each codon of the form PQR is associated with the element (P, Q, R) of  and thus an one to one correspondence can be … Read more

The Prisoner’s Dilemma

Abstract Prisoner’s Dilemma is a game Invented by Merrill Flood & Melvin Dresher during the 1950s with the main focus on, Iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma experiments by Robert Axelrod’s. Prisoner’s Dilemma game is a classic prototype which is responsive to evolutionary behaviours. Iterated Prisoners Dilemma (IPD) is widely studied in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and … Read more
