The second of the two extremes is represented through the character Chris McCandless from the book Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer.…

    Lead substitution for zinc in zing finger proteins can be determined through the use of NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Proton NMR is able to detect shifts in histidine protons in zinc fingers when bound to metal ions like zinc and lead. According to Razmiafshari et al., zinc and lead show very similar shifts, which indicates that lead can bind at the same site as zinc in zinc finger proteins. UV-Vis of zinc finger proteins substituted with lead showed peak changes in the spectrum, indicating that lead causes some structural change to the protein. It was suggested that lead coordinates in a trigonal pyramidal structure rather than tetrahedral, like with zinc.…

However, it is noted that, unique iris feature change due to iris aging, diet or human health conditions. The changing of iris features creates the mismatch in comparison phase to determine either genuine or not genuine. Therefore, to determine genuinely, this study proposes a new model of iris recognition using combinational approach of a split block and particle swarm optimization (PSO) in selecting the best crypt among unique iris features template. The split block has been used in this study to separate the image with the part that very important in the iris template meanwhile, the particles in PSO searches the most optimal crypt features in the iris.…
