Experiment 4.14 Portal Frame ( Plastic Bending of Portals ) AIM : To compare the ability of the portal frame to resists vertical and horizontal loadings. DESCRIPTION: Figure 1 shows the Plastic Bending of Portals experiment set up in a Test Frame. The Plastic Bending of Portals experiment consists of a specimen steel portal frame held firmly at the bottom corners by two fixing blocks (ensuring an encastre fixing). Two load cells load the specimen frame by wires and adjustable pulleys

Experiment title: Spectrophotometer and its function. Introduction Measurement of the amount of light to the absorbance is called spectrophotometer. Spectrophotometer used to test the sample by passing through the light it’s worked to measure the light that passing through. Biological substances such bromophenol blue and methyl orange‚ are the common substances to be used in testing of interaction of substance with the light. These solutions called pigments where they usually can absorb the visible

Question#2: -10 sequence for the lux operon: 5’-TGTTATA-3’ There are 2 nucleotides different that are G and A. Question#3: The lux R‚ which has its own promoter and is transcribed in the opposite direction from the lux operon‚ could not be transcribed from the same strand because the RNA polymerase recognizes a promoter sequence only in the direction

common in marketplace and in the political arena. We make choices between multiattribute options like the acceptability of a transaction or a trade. The overall value of an option is to balance of its advantages of its disadvantage in relation to the reference state.

Introduction to the OSI Reference Model The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) defined the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model to standardize networking of devices from different vendors. The OSI reference model is mostly an architecture blueprint that networking and computer device manufacturers implement. The OSI model has never been implemented exactly as defined. The TCP/IP protocol stack is the closest implementation available today. Application Layer (7)
