Rome with a strong political base and a fearsome military power which lead to Ancient Rome’s great success. Augustus Caesar was also able to reform Roman laws‚ build a defense to withstand enemy invasion‚ astonishing revenue reform‚ building the Ara Pacis‚ and he is also credited to building Rome’s first Pantheon. Although Augustus had such strong military power‚ he was far from a bloodthirsty emporer. His estimated 50 plus years of emperor‚ Augustus believed in peace and prosperity. One of Augustus

compounds from marine sources‚ spongouridine and spongothymidine from the Caribbean sponge (Cryptotheca crypta)‚ were isolated serendipitously in the early 1950s. They were approved as an anticancer drug (cytosine arabinoside‚ Ara-C) and an antiviral drug (adenine arabinoside‚ Ara-A)‚ respectively‚ 15 years later. The secondary metabolites of marine organisms have been studied extensively over the past 30 years‚ since a small number of academic chemists began to isolate and elucidate novel compounds

Abstract Some bacteria are able to go through transformation making new combinations of genes. Transformation is a way of gene variability in bacteria. This experiment is based on the transformation mechanism of bacteria and gene regulation. The bacteria used for the experiment was Escherichia coli and the genes introduces for the transformation were: gfp and bla by a pGLO™ plasmid. After the insertion of the target genes and growing the bacteria on specialized LB media‚ it could be seen that the

Google is jumping into its next futuristic hardware project. This time it’s a modular smartphone dubbed Project Ara that can be customized by swapping out individual pieces‚ such as the battery and the camera. The company previewed the very early-stage project at a developer event in Santa Clara‚ California‚ this week. Google said the first version of the phone will likely be available in early 2015. Though the company didn’t mention a sale price‚ it said the devices would cost anywhere from $50

that would transform into red fluorescent proteins. One plasmid was that allowed to express a red fluorescence was produced by recombining two plasmids by using molecular techniques. Agar plates labeled LB‚ LB/AMP‚ and LB/AMP/ARA containing ampicillin (AMP) and arabinose (ARA) were used to grow of the bacteria of interest and SDS-PAGE gels were utilized in identifying the fluorescent and non-fluorescent proteins. The end results illustrated that there were no signs of fluorescent proteins in the

One example of a blue ocean strategy is the Google Project Ara. The Google Project Ara is currently in the process of being made and will be the first totally customizable smartphone. The idea is to solve three problems: obsoleting‚ waste‚ and varying consumers’ needs (Molen‚ 2014). The idea is to create modular phone in

It was hypothesized that if bacteria that were transformed with +pGlo plasmids are given the gene for GFP‚ then transformed cell colonies will be located on the LB/amp/ara and LB/amp agar plates. Cells that have been transformed with +pGlo plasmids have the ability to grow in ampicillin plates‚ and the arabinose sugar allows the colonies to be visibly fluorescent under ultraviolet light. The GFP is able to resist ampicillin
