Chimera

-posting this because Desmond keeps telling me that I should.- So this is a dream that I used to have for a while. It started a week or two or something like that before I left the fam forever ago. This was a good majoraty of why I ended up leaving. I let this stupid dream get to me and it just bothered me so damn much. I really don't know why I didn't just say anything about it to someone then. If I did then I would have never left. I just hate talking about it since it bothers me a lot. Also…

Descartes: Proofs for God existence and the nature of human’s mistakes Rene Descartes, a famous French philosophy, was known as “the Father of modern philosophy”. With his formidable and broad knowledge, Descartes fostered his desire to seek for only true beliefs that were certain and indubitably true. In his work, the Rene Descartes Meditations on First Philosophy, Descartes reiterated his intellectual process of doubting and questioning all the essences of corporeal and intangible…

Descartes introduces this by defining what an idea is; “Some thoughts are like images of things, and the term ‘idea’ applies in a strict sense to them alone: for example, when I think of a person, a chimera, the sky, an angel, or God” (Descartes, 2003: 32). Descartes conveys this concept by asserting that ideas are not true or false, and the things of which the idea is an image of does not necessarily have to exist. Descartes then proceeds to implicate…

In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald uses music to present the vast extent of human emotion. In relation to the signification gap, music is a direct link between signifier and signified. Music alone can hold the emotional depth that words simply cannot encompass: “Whenever there was a pause in the song she filled it with gasping, broken sobs” (Fitzgerald, 51). Evidently, the stranger’s song captures Nick’s attention because of its haunting, poignant sentiment. The singer’s “gasping, broken sobs”…

In order to attain true knowledge, Descartes realized he would have to throw away all of his previous notions of truth and knowledge and start again from the original foundation of his knowledge. This foundation was that of sensory perception; Descartes did not believe that the information that we receive through our senses could be trusted, because they are often quite deceptive. Descartes plants the seed of doubt in the senses, and then throughout his meditations shows what he knows to be true…

In this way, socioeconomics would also be affected if genetic modification was available for the public’s use. Procedures will be expensive; in vitro fertilization already costs nearly $20,000 in the USA without any genetic testing (Regalado 31). The application of improved intelligence, spatial reasoning, and other genetic enhancements will exponentiate these expenses, making genetically elite children available only for those who can pay. This will further widen the inequality gap,…

The novels Brave New World and Across the Universe explore the significance of social class and how a society can be engineered to ensure control. The social structure is created to maintain governmental control over the society. Genetic engineering is utilized so that people fit their predetermined social role. Finally, psychological conditioning is employed to discourage rebellion and resistance among the people. The use of social engineering in these two novels is the foundation laid to…

Human cloning, the creation of a genetically identical copy or clone of a human. Cloning is nothing new to researchers, for the idea of cloning has been around since the 1880s. The very first cloning experiment was in 1885 on artificial embryo twinning with sea urchin. Although most people don't know is that there is so much more to cloning than creating a living being identical to the original. This paper will discuss about human cloning, the biological concepts and processes, biological,…

4.3. The third dsRBD of Xlrbpa (xl3) is a protein/protein dimerization domain The strongest interacting partner from a two-hybrid screen with Xlrbpa turned out to be Xlrbpa itself. Two-hybrid assays with deletion constructs together with coimmunoprecipitation experiments identified xl3 but neither xl1 nor xl2 as a dimerization domain (Fig. 18, 19 and 20). Xl3 enhances the PKR antagonistic ability of Xlrbpa as previously indicated and discussed. The third domains of PACT and RAX, the human and…

Analysis of soil chemical and biological properties Soil chemical analysis and enzymes like urease, protease and nitrite reductase were carried out in the soil analysis laboratory, Guangxi University, Nanning, Guangxi Province, China. Soil pH analysis (soil:water = 1:1) performed by pH meter and Soil organic carbon was determined by dichromate oxidation (Walkley and Black, 1934). Total N in soil was determined by Semimicro-Kjeldahl method (Bremmer and Mulvaney, 1982). Nitrate nitrogen (NO3−-N)…
