Genetic engineering is a method of plant breeding that allows the transfer of genes from one plant into another‚ unrelated‚ plant species. The chief goal of producing genetically modified plants is to create species that do not naturally occur in the environment. Pros of plant genetic engineering include: Creating crops that are resistant to herbicides. Creating crops that possess resistance to insects. Producing plants that have richer nutritional value. Creating plants that could serve as vaccines

“New indoor shooting range ready to open” Summary This article is mainly about a local shooting range that just opened and is ready for shooters. Stephen Stewart’s C.I. Shooting Sports‚ 700 Wylie Drive‚ in the Crossroads Center‚ has 16 shooting lanes – all rifle-rated‚ he said. He also comments‚ “You’re looking at the best range equipment made.” The bullets are slowed and stopped by chunky rubber at the other end of the shooting range. Stewart describes it as “shooting into a bed of rice

I initially became interested in pursuing a career in biomedical engineering when I had knee surgery in 2011‚ which disabled me from being able to fully use my knee. My career goal is to be a Biomedical Engineer and I believe the BRITE Program here at North Carolina Central University will help me reach my goal. As alum from the City of Medicine Academy here in Durham‚ I have been exposed to the field of health services and medical care. I know that pursuing a degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences

The present invention relates to polyvinyl chloride plastisol compositions‚ for example sealant compositions. In the manufacture of automobiles‚ the automobile body is initially primed with a coating composition to prevent corrosion of the metal. This can be done in a number of ways although generally it is performed by cationic electrodeposition using the auto body as the cathode. Once the automobile body has been primed in this manner‚ subsequent steps in the assembly are carried out. These

ORGANIC MACROMOLECULES 1. What is a polymer? 2. Man-made polymers have been studied since 1832. Today‚ the polymer industry has grown to be larger than the aluminum‚ copper and steel industries combined. Polymers already have a range of applications that far exceeds that of any other class of material available to man. Give examples where polymers are applied in each of these categories: a) Agriculture b) Medicine c) Consumer Science

POLYMER SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES AIM: The aim of the experiment was to prepare three different polymers‚ namely nylon 66‚ Agar Gel and slime‚ being able to differentiate between the configuration and analysis among the three structures‚ noting the physical characteristics of each polymer and the chemical reactions that occur during the formation of the polymer. Pre- lab questions 1. Is Nylon 66 a step or chain – growth polymer? Define both types of polymerization in your answer. Nylon 66
