Case study of X-ray imaging with grating interferometer on pearls Abstract- With the increase of fraudulent conduct in the field of jewellery there has been increase in the demand for inspection to identify the purity of the product. In this case study X-Ray Radiography is used to identify natural pearls and artificially cultured pearls. In order to understand the internal structure a personalized grating interferometer and inspection has been performed to obtain measurements. The computed…

Aspergillus nidulans: One of the lesser known pathogen of the aspergilli group, A. nidulans is a model filamentous fungus widely used for studying eukaryotic cell biology (Galagan et al., 2005). A. nidulans possesses a phospholipid-hydrolyzing novel cPLA2 protein, PlaA, which shows maximum similarity to mammalian-type cPLA2 proteins (α, β, γ) (Hong et al., 2005). Like the three isoforms of human cPLA2 proteins, A. nidulans PlaA also consists of two separate catalytic domainsA and B, and…

Aim: To understand cell control mechanism of a model genetic terminator system and to develop potential termination strategies through computational modelling . Motivation: The aim of IGEM- IISER Pune team is to develop a rapid, cost effective, sensitive and portable device for detection of tuberculosis. We adopt a three component tuberculosis diagnosing device consisting of 1 Hijacking Module which would take over cell cycle control inducing rapid replication 2 Detection…

Prokaryote DNA replication is a semi conservative, bidirectional, template driven process. The phrase ‘semi-conservative’ refers to the fact that the newly synthesised double stranded DNA is made up of one parental (existing) strand, and one newly synthesised strand. The parental duplex is not ‘conserved’ as an entity. This was proved by the Meselson-Stahl experiment by replicating E.Coli in different mediums of of different Nitrogen isotopes. The results consisted of half of normal weight and…

When we think “polymer”, we should not limit ourselves to its biological applications; polymers can do so much more. Polymers are the “recipe for life.” We find them everywhere we look. For example, turn to your friend. What is he or she made of? The answer is polymers. Polymers make up essential molecules in our bodies, such as proteins or nucleic acids. They may be microscopic, but their functions in our bodies are important. Background Information There is so much more to being…

Imagine yourself having a surgery to make a better person of yourself. Isn’t it worth a try? The main character of the story Flower Of Algernon is Charlie Gordon. He was not intelligent, he was trying his best to get smart but the school couldn’t help him much. So when he did the surgery he got smart, Charlie also helped the doctors who did this surgery and told them how to make it better. It made a better person of him. It was good for Charlie to have the surgery because he was so thankful for…

Electroconvulsive therapy is a procedure in which doctors transmit electric shocks to the brain from electrodes that are placed on certain locations of the head, which release a flood of neurotransmitters and help treat the patient’s specific disorder. Although, before this procedure occurs, the patients are given anesthesia to prevent any physical harm to the patient. One major advantage of this procedure is that there has been an 86% remission rate in patients who have undergone ECT with…

to be perfect. The ideas you have presented, however, are the best and most scientifically grounded ideas we have about the way species evolve and change. Especially considering you developed these ideas without the understanding and knowledge of genetics and molecular biology. But still, you have managed to develop a set of laws explaining the evolution of species, which later became the backbone of biology. Impressive. You have made one of the most important contributions to the science of…

Material and Method Subjects and samples- This was a case-control study conducted in King George’s Medical University, a tertiary-care teaching institute, and Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, a tertiary-care government non-teaching institute, in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. A total of 1118 subjects were enrolled including 559 cases and 559 controls. Cases were defined as mothers (age 18-40 years) of live preterm neonates (birth at less than 37 weeks of gestation). Controls were eligible mothers…

it comes to natural characteristics of a person is quite similar or quite different to the unnatural characteristics of a person. When you have natural characteristics the traits comes from their parents. You have the ones people are born with are genetic. The traits of nature are developed biologically. The nurture characteristics are traits you develop after they are born. The nurture traits a person that wasn’t born with it but the environmental has influenced on them. The psychology term of…
