Lambda DNA Amplification by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Introduction/ Background* Since its introduction in 1985‚ polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has become a powerful tool in molecular genetic analysis. Today‚ it is used for applications such as cloning‚ analysis of DNA from ancient specimens‚ and analysis of human DNA for forensic applications. PCR is a test-tube DNA replication system for making many‚ many copies of‚ or amplifying‚ a defined segment of DNA. Using PCR‚ a selected target

WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER ABSTRACT The main objective of this project is to develop a device for wireless power transfer. The concept of wireless power transfer was realized by Nikolas tesla. Wireless power transfer can make a remarkable change in the field of the electrical engineering which eliminates the use conventional copper cables and current carrying wires. Based on this concept‚ the project is developed to transfer power within a small range. This project can be used for charging

electronic funds transfer (also known as EFT) is a system for transferring money from one bank to another without using paper money. Its use has become widespread with the arrival of personal computers‚ cheap networks‚ improved cryptography and the Internet. Since it is affected by financial fraud‚ the electronic funds transfer act was implemented. This federal law protects the consumer in case a problem arises at the moment of the transaction. The history electronic funds transfer originated from

Wireless energy transfer or wireless power is the transmission of electrical energy from a power source to an electrical load without artificial interconnecting conductors. Wireless transmission is useful in cases where interconnecting wires are inconvenient‚ hazardous‚ or impossible. The most common form of wireless power transmission is carried out using direct induction followed by resonant magnetic induction. Other methods under consideration include electromagnetic radiation in the form of microwaves or lasers

Embryo transfer is the process of taking fertilized embryos from one animal and inserting them into another. This is very useful today in cattle‚ because now it is economically feasible and it allows the producer a greater number of offspring from one cow with desirable traits. The process starts normally by artificially inseminating the cow. Exactly seven days later‚ the uterus is flushed‚ and the embryos and ova. Next‚ the embryos will be isolated. The embryos are then inserted into the recipient

Methods of Technology Transfer There are many reasons that a company might want to expand its operations on an international level: growth‚ profitability‚ and local market saturation are just a few examples (Beamish‚ Morrison‚ Inkpen‚ & Rosenzweig‚ 2003). Because different types of companies have different priorities when they expand into global markets‚ it is important to choose an appropriate method of internationalization. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the benefits and challenges associated

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

Conditional cash transfers (CCTs) refers to a form of funding by the government or other humanitarian agencies whereby the fund donated must be used to finance a predetermined undertaking (Fiszbein et al‚ 2009‚ pp. 31). In Conditional cash transfers‚ money has to be spent for the intended purpose and only those who have been approved to meet the predetermined requirements receive such cash. This means that the recipient of the cash has to be vetted thoroughly and their actions determined before getting
