scientific Discovery — Curse Or Blessing New scientific discovery nearly always brings mankind a blessing. Take electricity for example. Since its discovery‚ it has ushered in an era of countless inventions in close connection with it. Nowadays people can read and write by means of lights instead of candles. Fire is another example of discoveries which made human beings survive in ancient times and generates electricity in modern times. Again‚ minerals such as oil or coal discovered by man have long

AmirAshkan Semyary By using the techniques of genetic engineering scientists are able to modify genetic materials so that a particular gene of interest from one cell can be incorporated into a different cell. It is necessary to obtain a gene to modify genetic material. First a scientist isolates plasmid DNA from bacteria and DNA carrying a gene of interest from cells of another organism‚ such as an animal. A piece of DNA containing the gene is inserted into a plasmid‚ producing recombinant DNA

Biology 2A 2/23/14 Genetic engineering is making changes in the DNA code of a living organism‚ working almost the same. It has many purposes including clones‚ perfect humans and cures for genetic diseases. Gel electrophoresis is a powerful tool used for separation and analysis of macromolecules and their fragments‚ based on their size and charge. You place the DNA in the gel. DNA is a long‚ strand-like molecule where genes are written in genetic code. Extracted enzymes recognize and extract the

Oil as Both a Blessing and a Curse in the Middle East As global society enters an era where oil is no longer the dominant source of energy‚ many oil producing countries face a challenge dealing with the loss of what is often their most profitable export. Many nations developed modern infrastructure mainly through oil profits. Years of interference by western countries seeking oil profits greatly influenced the development of governments‚ occasionally for better‚ but usually for worse. While most

Many studies have shown a negative correlation between economic growth and natural resources‚ a finding often dubbed “the curse of natural resources.” However‚ oil and other minerals may not be the biggest curse in developing countries. In many of them‚ the amount of foreign aid is a far larger share of government revenues. In Burkina Faso‚ for example‚ aid accounted for two-thirds of the government budget and 8% of GDP over the period 1985-89. In Mauritania‚ it accounted for 60% and 22%‚ respectively
