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…
Video Games “The Obvious objective of video games is to entertain people by surprising them with new experiences.”- Shigeru Miyamto. Since, the early 1990’s, there has only been two heavy weight gaming consoles: PlayStation and Xbox. Over the years, they both have tremendously evolved into impressive gaming consoles. Currently, the latest models are the PlayStation 4 (PS4) and Xbox One. A gaming console is a device which outputs a video image onto a screen. The term “gaming console” is used to…

The hefty car door slammed, as my sister, Casey, and I treaded through the thick, fluorescent snow. My family and I had driven to our family friend’s house who had just returned home with their brand new puppy. “Con hurry up, she’s adorable!” said Casey as my 6 year old self still struggled to get through the thick, powdery snow. There was no help from my parents or anyone because a dog is definitely more important than your own son. However, I eventually reached the front door and felt the…
ad’s for games are magnificent at generating hype. I for one, enjoy their ad 's for many great titles and I believe the way they make ads are perfect and sell every time. But what games were successes and why start with the big start, Fallout 3. Fallout 3 was a game created for all platforms, PC, Xbox and PlayStation. The story takes place in a world where the style stuck in the 50’s era, but technology grows more advanced where you are a survivor of a massive world nuclear war and…
Gaming has been a huge market ever since the first console launched. Many differences have arose from the introduction of the first console, the Magnavox Odyssey in 1972, and the more recent releases into the gaming market, the Sony PlayStation 4 and the Microsoft Xbox One in late 2013, to allow for better graphics, storylines, and overall experiences. Without the changes in video games to adjust to the times, I doubt they would be as popular as they are today. To draw more and more people to…
