Identification and characterization of differentially expressed gene(s) in pigeonpea genotypes in response to Helicoverpa armigera infestation Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.)millspaugh] is an important food legume predominantly cultivated in the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and Africa almost exclusively as a rainfed crop. It is a diploid (2n = 22), often cross-pollinated crop with a genome size of 833.07 Mbp (Varshney et al., 2012). Globally, it is cultivated on an area of 4.92 M ha…

Where Does Taurine Come From? Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) is an is an organic compound discovered in bull bile in 1827 and mainly found in different animal tissues mainly in bile and large intestines. The term Taurine has a Latin origin from the word taurus which means a bull. Taurine has many functions inside animal bodies like muscle development, cardiovascular functions, and nervous system development among other functions. Once extracted, this acid compound is used in several…

CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Effect of Binder and Plasticizers on the Gel Viscosity, Membrane Morphology and Pore Size According to M.R. Othman [7] the result of addition of PVA in Boehmite sol during peptization on the viscosity, coating time, pore size and BET surface area is presented in Table I,II,III, and IV. PVA was prepared by dissolving 2, 4, 6 and 8g of PVA powder into 100mL de-ionized distilled water. PVA with different concentration in the sol give a of characteristics viscosity…

Maria Carranza Mr. Krone Chemistry 11 February 2016 Which is the Best Contact Solution? Everybody know someone who has glasses and contacts, maybe it’s your friend, your mom or dad or maybe a sibling, but does one really know what is going on in that contact case? Maybe one has daily's or maybe to change every month when one open that new package of contacts, does one really know how long that solution stays good? Does anyone? Let’s talk about your eyes. In the essay, the writer shows you…

Cell penetrating peptides are proteins or peptides that typically consist of 5-30 amino acids. These peptides are unique in that they are able to cross cell membranes and other barriers throughout the body such as the blood brain barrier, intestinal and nasal mucosa, and even skin. Using CPPs, scientists are now able to explore their potential as a means of transporting cargo into cells and across bio barriers. With their ease of preparation and generally nontoxic nature, CPPs have gained a…

Introduction If fashion is not innovative, new and interesting, how can you call it fashion? Everything keeps being produced over and over again, just in different colours and designs, but in the end we can examine and see that it's the same as that we had before. Accessories are a very important part of fashion styling and aren't just an optional extra, but they are an added extravagance. They dress an outfit: even if you wear the simplest of clothes, you can look like a million dollar show…

The events in the books Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley have come to life in society today. Censorship and oppression of society foretold by these books have come true. By using this theme of censorship and oppression from the government, they expressed their vision of what will happen to society. In many ways their writing have came true, from how today’s society innovate lives through technology and constrain society with blanket of false advertising. Ray…

polymer network. Since the cross-linking agents are few, there will be absorption of water and that is why they called hydrophilic. The first and commonest hydrogel contact lenses are made of polyHEMA (2-hydroxy-ethyl methacrylate) cross-linked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA)[2]. PolyHEMA is cheap to produce, highly flexible, stable to changes in pH and temperature. Hydrogels absorb water to keep the lens soft and elastic. Since they are hydrophilic, the water content of various…
