3.4 Case Studies 3.4.1 Biofuel from GM Macro algae Hydrocarbon biofuels are produced by genetically modified seaweed which are obtained by inserting genes from high hydrocarbon producing micro algae into high growth seaweed species. Botryococcus braunii (BB) a green micro algae that produces large amounts of aliphatic hydrocarbon molecules is used as a source for genetic material. The genes that produce hydrocarbon in BB are identified, removed, cloned and subsequently inserted into high…

Majority of people picked out the tattoo that goes permanent onto their skins. Tattoos are expensive and permanent onto their skins forever. Getting tattoo is a personal decision, however they should concededly earning the future into account when making living into lifestyle. If they want to get big house, they need to get high pay jobs with college degrees. Tattooed people can ignore the negative comments from the peers but hardly chance of getting the jobs. Do visual tattoos decrease their…

Mastitis is the most expensive problem facing the dairy industry. Globally, the estimated economic losses due to mastitis reached about 533 billion $ (Ratafia, 1987); the estimated economic loss of milk per cow per one lactation cycle due to mastitis is 70%, while it was 14% due to premature culling, on the other hand it was 7% due to exclusion of the mastitic milk and finally it was 8% due to cost of the veterinary medication, of the total losses reported worldwide (Bardiau et al., 2016;…

1. Describe your prior research experience, including duration, level of independence, and methods employed. How has your research experience prepared you for graduate studies in biomedical engineering? (maximum 50 lines, 12 pt font) “It always seems impossible until it’s done”, a quote written on top of my table in lab, is one of the elements that drive my commitment to my goals. This has always inspired me to work towards achieving the goals I set and define the research experiences I had…

Imagine that, in the near future, you need lung surgery. Currently, this type of surgery would be very invasive and very risky to do surgery. But, due to advances in nanotechnology, the surgery could be quick and painless with almost no inherent risk and would not be nearly as invasive. Nanotechnology isn’t exactly new; it has been discussed and studied for many years. However, advances in this field have led to new and exciting discoveries. Surgeries, for example, are one of the things to which…

1. Introduction 1.1 Lubrication Friction is caused during machining operation at tool and chip interface. This produces the heat which affects the machining performance in terms of surface finish, dimensional accuracy, tool life and machining cost. To reduce the heat different techniques have been utilized. Earlier, during industrial revolution water was utilized as a coolant but it caused corrosion [1]. With the development of technology different cooling and lubrication techniques have come…

Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that exclusively infect and replicate within bacterial cells. Phages are ubiquitous, with an estimated 1x106 particles per drop of seawater and as many as 1x108 particles per g of soil. Phage predation destroys an estimated one-half of the bacterial population worldwide every 48 h, hence regulating the population dynamics of natural bacteria (Deresinski 2008). Bacteriophages attach to their host cell by specialized structures called tail fibers, inject their…

Many Americans go through their days not without the knowledge that they are facing commodities that pay its derivation, to some degree, to some NASA project or other astronomical research. This is particularly true when one is thinking about the medical field and a lot of its advancements. Various medical innovations are the result of NASA 's collaborations with other examiners, and others were derived as a result of NASA researchers who recognized significance in findings and mechanics they…

wide band gap of 3.3eV and has wide applications in varistors, surface acoustic wave devices, transparent oxide electrode , solar cells, blue/UV light emitting devices and gas sensors like NO2 and CO in air. There are many techniques used for nanoparticles preparation like sol-gel or wet chemical process. Former technique involves hydrolysis using esterification reaction in organic medium prior to supercritical drying followed by annealing at high temperature. The technique explained may have…

Introduction Graphene is considered as pure carbon in the form of a very thin, one atom thick nearly transparent sheet. It is very strong for its low weight (100 times more stronger than steel and it conducts heat and electricity efficiently. While scientists had theorized about graphene for decades, it was first produced in the lab in 2003. Because it is virtually two-dimensional, it interacts oddly with light and with other materials. Researchers have identified the, ballistic transport of…
