Geoffrey Chaucer, the author of The Canterbury Tales, used five methods of characterizations to portray characters in the tale. The methods focused on a central characteristic, touchstone line, use of physiognomy, use of hyperbole, and use of incongruous or inappropriate details. The first method of central characteristic explained an overview of the character such as personality and occupation. The second method of touchstone line provided an impression such that it drew an image of the…

of the project would later be placed in a database that would be available to the scientific community. Hence sometimes the human microbiome project may be called a community project. One of the key methods used in the project was the targeting of 16s ribosomal RNA gene sequences these were used as taxonomic makers during the finding of microbial communities. Another method that was used during the project was whole genome shotgun metagenomic sequencing. These methods were used to obtain more…

method uses molecular techniques to identify bacteria by doing DNA or RNA analysis of the bacterium’s genome ("Conventional Bacterial Identification Methods", 2013). The 16S rRNA gene sequences provides species-specific signature sequences useful for bacterial identification ("16S Ribosomal RNA Sequencing Theory”, 2016). The 16s rRNA gene sequence uses a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify a specific DNA target from a mixture of DNA molecules, which helps in the identification of…

Introduction In the past, considerable emphasis has been placed on Intellectual Ability as the predictor for Academic Achievement (Chamorro-Premuzic & Furnham, 2003), as such there can be found an extensive collection of research studies that document intelligence as the dominant predictor for cognitive performance (Busato et al., 2000). These conclusions often base upon the idea that intelligence defines the capacity of an individual to incorporate knowledge and skill to the solving of a given…

In my paper I am going to be discussing what exactly the trait perspective is. I am also going to define what a trait is and the personality trait perspective. The reason I chose this topic for my paper is because, I find traits very interesting and unique so I wanted to do more research about what the trait perspective is and what other people think about it. There is also something else I am going to be addressing to and is the Trait Theory of Perspective, the reason I am going to discuss that…

PCR is a common practice used to amplify a certain region of DNA. In this experiment, PCR was used to amplify the 16S ribosomal RNA gene of the bacteria. This locus was used because it is one that evolves slowly in bacteria. A Taq polymerase is used for this PCR because of the temperatures the reaction goes through. The16S rRNA primers used in this PCR, are complimentary…

Personality has been conceptualised from a variety of theoretical perspectives, and at various levels of abstraction and breadth. (John, Hampson, & Goldberg, 1991) In modern psychology, trait theories have been increasingly used to study human personality. Primarily, trait theorists have had a large focus on the measurement of these traits. Traits can be defined as the habitual patterns of behaviour, emotions and thoughts displayed by humans that are consistent in various situations. (Borghans,…

Introduction Since the 1980s when the term LGB (lesbian, gay and bisexual) gained popularity, its community has continued to expand in number and supporters. Those whose sexual orientation is not “normal”, have been forced to fight for equal rights with heterosexuals when it comes to romantic relationships. Some of these areas pursued include social security, workplace benefits, and inheritance (Village and Francis, 2008). While certain countries have participated in the legalization of same-sex…

Rather than diving into an operations analysis on Lockheed Martin’s F-35 production line blindly, our team will perform background research on modern industrial engineering aspects that affect the line. By doing so, our team will gain some insight as to what influences this production system and what subject areas to focus on. This will give us a different perspective on the space demands of the F-35 at full rate production. In this portion of the report, two separate articles will be discussed…

Introduction When it comes to maintaining and supporting legacy aircraft such as the F-16 within today’s Air Force inventory, the logistics scheme currently in use includes distinct and separate information systems for repair, supply, maintenance personnel and skills, mission planning and post-mission debriefings. They are standard for the Air Force and used by other fleets (Butler, 2013). With the introduction of the Joint Strike Fighter program, the F-35 will replace several aircraft…
