The Transcript

A career in cancer research has been my objective since before I entered college. My extensive personal experiences with this disease have deeply impacted my goals and aspirations as both a scientist and as a student. Unlike many undergraduates, I have accumulated an extensive amount of research experience during my undergraduate career, working to answer a broad range of biological questions. These diverse experiences have directly impacted my decision to pursue a graduate degree in immunology,…

Aquinas, Alain de Lille, and Peter Damian, homosexual subcultures readily developed throughout the Middle Ages, such as may be witnessed in homoerotic literature steaming from this period, in the veneration of allegedly homosexual women, and in the transcript of John Rykener's case. Thus, in opposition to what Aquinas, de Lille and Damian argued, homosexuality was not, and is not, unnatural to any degree, but as natural and historical as any other human…

units of knowledge in an attempt to ‘discover cultural meaning’ in the ethnographic interviews (Spradley 1979) and observations (Spradley 1980) which were used for identifying and distinguishing pieces in the cultural setting (LeCompte and Jean 1999:73). Analysis of field data started with rough cleaning [editing] to reduce and eliminate errors so as to enhance the reliability of the data. Data cleaning was done right from the beginning of the study. This strategy helped me eliminate errors,…

In this study, we analyzed the bulk of genomic and transcribed CsRn1 sequences encompassing the putative frameshift region in C. sinensis and Opisthorchis viverrini, which is a nearest phylogenetic neighbor of the liver fluke, to address the issue regarding the expression strategy of CsRn1. Our results demonstrate that CsRn1 copies lacking frameshifting have arisen from the precedential counterparts with two overlapping ORFs by a single-nucleotide insertion at an upstream region of gag stop…

Not-so Empty Rhetoric If you were to tune into the news in the past few weeks you most likely have heard someone saying something along the lines of "It's just empty rhetoric." However, if you really analyze at this statement, it does not necessarily make sense. According the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, rhetoric is defined as "the art of speaking or writing effectively."

Accordingly, the increase in militarism has three main implications on United States foreign policy through the amount and help of each of engagement, the subsequent growth of the bureaucracy, and the dangers of a military industrial complex.

We are only given the “Accounts of lip readers responding to the transcript of the World Cup,” no quotations, no confirmed spoken words. We see the image surrounded by quotations describing the struggles of the black experience, describing how “in order to save his life, he is forced to look beneath appearances,…
