A biometric system

A biometric system is based on uni-modal system which is considered as o- accurate and robust. It lacks in robustness, computational complexity, computational time, lack of feature selection, reliability etc. So, there is a need of multi- modal system. Multimodal system is based on two or more than two biometric recognition system. For any biometric … Read more

Synaptic Transmission

Synaptic Transmission is a mechanism of communication between neurons in the nervous system of organisms. This mechanism of transmission is an important as it helps to regulate parasympathetic and sympathetic actions of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and also underlies the modulation and regulation of cognition, mood, learning, and memory within the central nervous system … Read more

Production of a sound

The sound continues through the upper vocal tract and is modified by various resonators in the pharynx, oral, and nasal cavities. This process results in the production of a sound.

The toxicity effect of cadmium chloride

Cadmium chloride may induce oxidative stress leading to the generation of free radicals and alteration in oxygen free radical scavenging enzyme system or antioxidant and damage membrane structure [1,2]. In the current study, we evaluated the protective role of chitosan nanoparticle against the oxidative stress changes in the gastric tissue resulting from the administration of … Read more

Stem cell research

Stem cells have a unique property to develop into any cell in the human body. These cells have immense potential to provide cures for various diseases. Since their discovery in 1998, stem cell research has challenged the questions of ethics and morals. As a highly controversial subject, many people disagree on whether the research should … Read more

Methodological Naturalism

In philosophical terms, there is a difference between methodological naturalism and metaphysical naturalism. First, let us define methodological naturalism, it is how it sounds, a scientific method. In other words, “trying to understand the world.” Scientists look for natural causes not supernatural predicaments. It is a method that we must obtain knowledge of the world … Read more

Argininosuccinate lyase

Argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) is a specialized enzyme that cleaves argininosuccinic acid during the fourth stage of the urea cycle.1 The activity of this enzyme breaks down the argininosuccinic acid into arginine and fumarate chemicals, which are crucial for the completion of subsequent stages of the cycle. The urea cycle consists of six enzyme reactions that … Read more
