resistant pathogens through horizontal gene transfer. Located in the bacteria are plasmids. They are independent‚ self-duplicating‚ and allow bacteria to perform new functions/generate new products. Basically plasmids help their hosts to stop the action of antibiotics and become resistant. “Gene transfer must be integral and critical to the overall survival of bacteria‚ providing a way for them to adapt to difficult conditions” (Levy 2002‚ 83). Horizontal gene transfer can occur through conjugation‚ transposition

Practice Problems Set – 1 MEC301: Heat Transfer Q.1 The slab shown in the figure is embedded on five sides in insulation materials. The sixth side is exposed to an ambient temperature through a heat transfer coefficient. Heat is generated in the slab at the rate of 1.0 kW/m3. The thermal conductivity of the slab is 0.2 W/m-K. (a) Solve for the temperature distribution in the slab‚ noting any assumptions you must make. Be careful to clearly identify the boundary conditions. (b) Evaluate T at the

Having prior experience is known as the transfer of skills from one context to another and this allows the athlete to learn new similar skills faster then those who have no background experience at all. Skill transfers can be broken up into two parts. Lateral transfer is easy and is the transfer into a similar new skill‚ such as tackling in rugby union after learning the tackling method in rugby league. Vertical transfer is the transfer of a skill from a lower order skill to a similar high order
