The various types of point-source pollutants found in waters are as varied as the types of business‚ industry‚ agricultural‚ and urban sources that produce them. Commercial and industrial businesses use hazardous materials in manufacturing or maintenance‚ and then discharge various wastes from their

By permitting human gene editing‚ it would sooner or later lead to an adaptation for other enhanced purposes. Genetic engineering markets could also emerge‚ increasing existing inequality and discrimination challenges around the world. Some of the largest universities in the USA are already engaged in a war over the patent on CRISPR which is said to be worth billions of dollars

Supercomputer Supercomputer is a broad term for one of the fastest computers currently available. Supercomputers are very expensive and are employed for specialized applications that require immense amounts of mathematical calculations (number crunching). For example‚ weather forecasting requires a supercomputer. Other uses of supercomputers scientific simulations‚ (animated) graphics‚ fluid dynamic calculations‚ nuclear energy research‚ electronic design‚ and analysis of geological data (e.g.

Stub In microwave and radio-frequency engineering‚ a stub is a length of transmission line or waveguide that is connected at one end only. The free end of the stub is either left open-circuit or (especially in the case of waveguides) short-circuited. Neglecting transmission line losses‚ the input impedance of the stub is purely reactive; either capacitive or inductive‚ depending on the electrical length of the stub‚ and on whether it is open or short circuit. Stubs may thus be considered to be

Tad Sherman Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Essentially the same disease‚ Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes share many different attributes as to when and how a person is diagnosed and methods of treating the disease. Type 1 and type 2 diabetes have some similarities in the way they are treated and diagnosed as well as some differences in treatment and diagnosis. Type 1 diabetes is the less common of the two and is generally diagnosed in younger and type 2 diabetes is diagnosed at any age and has different

in Shandong Province. The untimely death of my uncle‚ who was very close to me‚ because of illness and poverty shocked me to such an extent that I once decided to drop out of the school and to help support the family. But my parents did not allow me to do so. Illiterate as they were‚ they nonetheless understood that "Education is the key‚" and were anxious to put this key in my pocket‚ in spite of all their difficulties. With the growth of age‚ I now have a much clearer sense of purpose for my life

Genetic Engineering Techniques There are a number of techniques for moving genes artificially into recipient organisms. The oldest of these is called recombinant DNA‚ a technique that relies on biological vectors like plasmids or viruses. Other newer gene transfer techniques are electro- and chemical poration‚ microinjection‚ and bioballistics. Recombinant DNA Recombinant DNA techniques use biological vectors like plasmids and viruses to carry foreign genes into cells. Plasmids are small
