Gene engineering – draft

In 1990 PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) was introduced to allow couples at risk of passing on a serious genetic disease to have children not affected by it. Examples of such conditions are Down’s syndrome, sickle cell, Tay-Sach disease, Huntington’s chorea and cystic fibrosis. Genetic selection can take place on embryos before placing them into a … Read more

A framework for discovering important patterns through parallel mining of protein-protein interaction network

Abstract. Association Rule mining can be applied in the field of bioinformatics for identification of co-occurrence between various biological elements such as genes and protein. In bioinformatics protein-protein interaction network provides useful information regarding the functions of protein. Association analysis has been used for identification of frequently occurring interactions among the proteins in the network … Read more

A New Effective SC-PML Implementation for JEC-WLP-FDTD Method in Plasma Media

Abstract’An unsplit-field and stretched coordinate (SC) based perfectly matched layer (PML) is presented for JE Collocated finite-difference-time-domain method with weighted Laguerre polynomials (JEC-WLP-FDTD) in nonmagnetic plasma medium. Through adding a perturbation, the huge sparse matrix equation is solved with a factorization-splitting scheme. This leads to much less CPU time and memory storage than in the … Read more

String theory

Unlike model builders, more mathematically inclined physicists try to work from pure theory. The hope is to start with a single elegant theory and derive the consequences, and only then apply the ideas to data. Most any attempt at a unified theory embodies such a top-down approach. String theory is perhaps the most prominent such … Read more

The Diels-Alder reaction

Totally twenty two aryl heptane [2.2.1] methanone derivatives including 2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl based heptene [2.2.1] methanones have been synthesized by aqueous phase fly-ash catalyzed [4+2] cycloaddition Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene and aryl chalcones. More than 60% of yields were observed in this cycloaddition. The synthesized aryl heptane[2.2.1] methanones are characterized by their physical constants and spectral data. … Read more

Title: Protein expression and purification

Objective: Large-scale production of soluble recombinant amyloid-?? peptide 1-42 using cold-inducible expression system Abstract: Amyloid-?? peptide 1-42 (A??1-42) plays major roles in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease, due to its aggregate nature, (A??1-42) has been difficult to manufacture in a soluble state in the bacterial expression system. In this study, expression system is altered to … Read more

Insomnia

Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders which is characterized by complaints regarding difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep and/or waking up too early without being able to return to sleep (Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders 5 ,2013). These complaints may result in insufficient sleep and/or poor quality of sleep. As lack … Read more

Travertines

Travertines occur as accumulations of Calcium Carbonate produced from flowing water, often, hot springs, they are also formed from incrustation. When chemical and biological processes, act together, they are responsible for the precipitation of freshwater calcium carbonate as travertines. These elements acting together is Henry’s Law. Travertines often start by nucleating on top plants and … Read more

The effect of ischemic preconditioning (Ipre) on the protective effect of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) against renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury

Abstract Objectives: To study the effect of ischemic preconditioning (Ipre) on the protective effect of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) against renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in a rat model. Methods: 90 male Sprague Dawely rats divided into 5 equal groups; sham (right nephrectomy without ischemia), control (right nephrectomy with 45 min left renal ischemia), Ipre … Read more

The Bugs Project

Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body, three pairs of jointed legs, compound ocular perceivers and one pair of antennae. What makes a bug an insect? 3 body parts; a head, thorax and abdomen 1-2 pairs of wings attached to the thorax 3 pairs of legs attached to the thorax 1 pair of antennae … Read more

Nanoscience Review of Optical Antennas and their Various Applications

Overview: In recent years, science and technology fields have mainly concentrated on nanoscale devices. As such, optical antennas, also known as antenna-coupled optical detectors, are being developed at a fast pace. They are being introduced as alternative detection devices with nanoscale features for the infrared, millimeter, and visible spectra. Optical antenna functionality relies on understanding … Read more

The Polymerase Chain Reaction

History A revolutionary method in amplifying many copies of a specific small sequence of DNA from a longer DNA molecule has greatly influenced the molecular biology world. By 1980, many factors that were needed for the polymerase chain reaction were already discovered, but it was not until in 1983 that Kary B. Mullis perceived the … Read more

Investigation on the effect of graphene on delamination by drilling jute/epoxy nano hybrid composite

Abstract Natural fibre composites are being widely used in many fields. They are preferred for their specific properties and eco-friendly nature. Natural fibres do not bond well with resin readily. Alkali treatment of these fibres has been reported to be effective in achieving better bonding. Addition of nano fillers have been reported to enhance the … Read more
