Many might not acknowledge how much of an impact food has made in shaping the society in which we live. Another unknown detail is that the use of farming is very recent to our knowledge. Dating to about 11,000 years ago, farming has played a key role in the evolution of mankind. About 11,000 years ago humans started to cultivate food intentionally. This process of cultivating food is known as “farming” and it started taking hold in the Near Eastern part of the world at about 8,500 B.C.…
the Bioconductor repository: https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/SRGnet. 2.6. Data Polysomal RNA expression was previously measured in young adult mouse colonic epithelium (YAMC) in four conditions: YAMC control, mutant p53-expressing (mp53), activated Ras-expressing, and both mutant genes (mp53/Ras) cells using Affymetrix GeneChip® Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Arrays (McMurray, et al., 2008). The raw data are available via the Gene Expression Omnibus with accession number GSE9199. We processed the…
Larp discussion forms are a great way to get inspiration. A lot of materials needed to make a great Post-Apocalyptic are materials you may already have in your house (or apartment, I don’t know your life). Remember, when it comes to the races Ghoul, Mutant, and Biomech. It is a costume requirement to have some form of makeup or prostitute. This can be as simple or complex as you…
Benefits of genetically modified foods include ending famine and preventing malnutrition in developing countries. However, opponents warn of superweeds, mutant allergies, and corporate dominance of the food chain. Europe and America have differing opinions in how to regulate GM foods. The United States does not regulate these crops, while Europe prefers that alien genes are not found in their food. Meanwhile, Africa turned down corn from the United States because it was genetically modified.…
David arrived here the other night, he was on the run from those brutal Waknuk people, it turns out that he’s a mutant too. I always knew that there was something off about him, so did my parents. These past years have been awful without him, but now that he’s here, life has gotten a whole lot worse. Ever since I escaped from Waknuk I have thought about David, about his kindness and how much he cared for me. He loved me almost as much as my mother did when she was alive, and I loved him even…
Dracula rises from the grave -again. Mutant insects, the product of underground nuclear testing, grow to the size of boxcars and attack our nation's cities. Weird- looking aliens from beyond the stars decide to invade our planet. None of these events, if they ever happened, would surprise horror-movie fans. For years, such moviegoers have enjoyed being frightened by every type of monster Hollywood has managed to dream up, whether it be natural, artificial, or extraterrestrial. One kind of…
“D-1270! That’s the third strike for you! Guards, take her to the dungeon, no dinner for her tonight. Make sure there’s no funny business.” I started wondering if throwing a brick at their heads was considered funny, but since I valued my life I decided against it. I should really stop getting strikes it really seems like I live in there instead of with my family in this sad prison. Oh, sorry I forgot to introduce myself I am D-1270, we don’t have real names here because we’re all prisoners.…
Individuals who identify their sexuality as transgender face extreme persecution every day around the world; especially in the United States, a country initially founded on personal freedom. A hot topic politically and morally is the debate between whether people who identify as transgender should be able to use the bathroom of their choice. Transgenders believe their personal identity does not correspond with the sex they were assigned at birth. After realizing this, those who wish to become…
Upon initially reading the text "Minority Report" by Philip K. Dick the reader can infer that there is a power struggle going on between John Anderton and Ed Witwer. This perceived power struggle does not immediately make sense to the reader, however it later becomes an important part of the story. The system described also seems to predict the future in some way by using “precogs, capable of previewing future events and transferring orally that data to analytical machinery” (Dick 10) Therefore…
