PCR And Its Use
Number of words: 773 - Number of pages: 3.... chemicals (this includes the primer, etc). Then they have
to run it through the PCR machine. Here is a (rather detailed) description of
the process: "The cycling protocol consisted of 25-30 cycles of three-
temperatures: strand denaturation at 95degC, primer annealing at 55degC, and
primer extension at 72deg C, typically 30 seconds, 30 seconds, and 60 seconds
for the DNA Thermal Cycler and 4 seconds, 10 seconds, and 60 seconds for the
Thermal Cycler 9600, respectively."
Basically, that means that they set it to certain temperatures, then put it in
different .....

Nuclear Powernuclear Power
Number of words: 358 - Number of pages: 2.... power plant. The main reason most countries use
thermal versus the hydroelectric is because their countries don’t have
enough concentrated water to create enough energy to generate
electricity. (World Book vol. 14, 586)
Nuclear power plants generate only about eleven percent of the world’s
electricity. There are around 316 nuclear power plants in the world
that create 213,000 megawatts of electricity. (INFOPEDIA)
Radioactive, or nuclear, waste is the by-product of nuclear fission.
Fission occurs when atoms’ nucleus’ split a .....

Factors Of Parasitic Virulence
Number of words: 2924 - Number of pages: 11.... factors.
INTRODUCTION
Why do certain parasites exhibit high levels of virulence within
their host populations while others exhibit low virulence? The two
prime factors most frequently cited (Esch and Fernandez 1993, Toft et
al. 1991) are evolutionary history and mode of transmission.
Incongruently evolved parasite-host associations are characterized by
high virulence, while congruent evolution may result in reduced
virulence (Toft et al. 1991). Parasites transmitted vertically (from
parent to offspring) tend to be less virulent than par .....

Anthopleura Elegantissima
Number of words: 1229 - Number of pages: 5.... from the sea and were fed periodically, exclusive of experimentation time. In case of any impairments from the collection process, the anemones were kept in these bowls for a few weeks before any of the experiments started. Only the most healthy anemones were used in the experiment. To free the anemones, Francis hit the bowl against a solid surface. To determine the sex of the anemones, they were severed and inspected for sex organs. When their sex organs are fully grown the female’s are brownish-pink and they male’s are yellowish-white. The anemones th .....

ADHD On Child Intelligence
Number of words: 2216 - Number of pages: 9.... are many correlates to biological (genetic) and social causes. The present paper seeks to explore current research through investigating the social and bio-genetic influence of . Testing and treatments of those with ADHD will also be discussed. In accordance with Dulcan et al. (1997) ADD, ADD-H, ADHD, although not identical, will be considered interchangeably due to similarity.
Characteristics and Testing of ADHD Intelligence
Even though ADHD occurs in people of every intelligence, a majority of children affected experience academic problems. These children .....

Kangaroos
Number of words: 1056 - Number of pages: 4.... Australia's interior grasslands, is the largest and most powerful species. A male may attain a head-body length of 1.5 m; have a tail 1 m long; stand 2 m tall; and weigh 90 kg. A gray kangaroo can clear more than 9 m (30 feet) at a bound and attain a speed of 48 kilometres per hour. The wallaroo, a smaller and stockier animal, may be dark gray to pinkish brown; it lives in rocky country throughout Australia except Victoria. These large kangaroos travel in groups (mobs) under the leadership of the largest male ("old man," or "boomer"), which dominates younger .....

Although the ban was lifted during the first days of Bill Clinton’s presidency, in 1997 he sent a bill to congress marked “immediate consideration and prompt enactment” stating that it would be illegal to create a human clone whether in private or public laboratories. Along with the US ban, nineteen European countrie .....

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder
Number of words: 1297 - Number of pages: 5.... In 1902, Dr. G. F. Still, described the behavior of a group of hyperactive children. He knew of no medical reasons for their behavior and made no mention of their educational needs or social skills. He said that part of the problem with ADHD children was "deficient training in the home." In 1923, researcher, F. G. Ebaugh, was one of the first to publish a professional paper recognizing ADHD as a long-term problem requiring cooperation and intervention by several professional disciplines.
Over the past four decades, dozens of labels have be .....
