Implantable antennas for biomedical applications

ABSTRACT: Biomedical telecommunication permits the transfer of information from one body to off the body or from on the body to on the body. Patch antennas and its different variations as implantable medical devices are one of the highest, particularly in receiving attention for scientific interest in integrating these implanted devices and radio frequency enabled … Read more

Bacillus anthracis secretion system (draft)

1.Introduction Bacillus anthracis is the etiological agent of anthrax; a common disease of livestock and, occasionally, of humans. It can be grown ordinary nutrient medium. Genus bacillus have only Bacillus anthracis as a obligate pathogen, Bacillus anthracis is a Gram-Positive bacteria, and it is also an endospore forming bacteria. It is road-shaped with a width … Read more

Metallography and heat treatment

1.0 Introduction This report covers lab 5 of the Engineering Materials unit, dedicated to metallography and heat treatment. The lab expands on concepts covered in lectures including heat treatment, crystal structure of metals, and mechanical properties of materials by introducing them in a hands-on environment. This lab was composed of three experiments. One involved the … Read more

Therapeutic potential of phages

Amounting to the largest biomass on the planet, bacteriophages are seen to have a huge potential in the biopharmaceutical landscape. With the rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens, research interest in phage therapy has grown. Controlling the lytic action of phages will allow for the development of an inducible phage therapy and will … Read more

The application of genetic engineering to medicine

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 WHAT IS GENETIC ENGINEERING? Genetic engineering or genetic modification is the alteration or modification of an organism’s genome using modern DNA technology (Biotechnology). It usually involves the introduction of foreign DNA or synthetic genes into the organism; the new resulting organism is often referred to as transgenic and or genetically modified … Read more

Cause of MFM phenotypes at molecular level

1. Abstract Myofibrillar Myopathy (MFM) is a muscular disorder involving myofibrillar disarrangement commencing at the Z-discs. This condition displays great variety in clinical features and several genes have been found to be associated. Due to this genetic heterogeneity, MFM has been divided into subtypes based on the gene affected (MFM1-MFM8). Current diagnosis of MFM is … Read more

The selective autophagy of viruses

Abstract Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved and highly regulated, intracellular catabolic mechanism that is important for maintaining homeostasis and coping with nutrient starvation. It is increasingly appreciated that autophagy can be highly selective, and that xenophagy, the selective autophagy of pathogens, is an important aspect of the immune response and protects against infection. This project … Read more

Mos kinase

INTRODUCTION: 1.1 ABOUT MOS KINASE: Mutation in a single cells causes cancer over a period of time in a person’s life. The genes that play a role in causing cancer are: a) tumor suppressor genes b) proto oncogenes Mos is a proto oncogene that is responsible for coding the serine/threonine kinase. In 1980 ,the transforming … Read more

Augmenting PGPR and PGPF groups in a Wicking bed system

Background Agroecosystems are been studied extensively for the presence of the beneficial Plant Growth Promoting Microbes (PGPM), and their beneficial role in plant growth and health. PGPM, consisting mainly of two different groups – Plant growth-promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) and Plant growth-promoting Fungi (PGPF), colonize the roots or the Rhizosphere area of the plants in a … Read more

Preparation and test of different draw ratios cast film

As more and more electric devices are entering into our life, especially the demand of electric vehicles is increasing. So rapid development of EV or HEV requests high power Li-ion batteries (LIBs) to have higher energy, longer life and better safety than before. The process of producing microporous membrane is melt-extrusion/annealing/uniaxial-stretching (MEAUS), which is a … Read more

Integration of Nuclear Energy

Over the course of many decades, the human population has attempted several approaches to satisfy the demand for energy. As the population continues to grow exponentially, our alternatives to obtaining energy, from our houses to our jobs, have changed. In the spectrum of energies that exist today, there has been one that is the most … Read more

Colloids and their Preparation

1: Introduction Thomas Graham in 1861 studied the ability of those dissolved substances capable to diffuse into water across a permeable membrane. He observed that crystalline substances likeC6H12O6, CH4N2O, and NaCl passed through themembrane, while others like glue, gelatin and gum arabic did not. The former he called crystalloids and the latter colloids (Greek, kolla= … Read more

Colonization mission on Mars

1. Emphasizes on the setting up of an effective framework, which encourages transparency and an inclusive approach for all member nations to share research and development, contribute to space technology development and share benefits from the ultimate colonization of Mars: a. UN with its members will develop working groups to take into account the contributions … Read more
