unrelated entities share the same genetic code. DNA fingerprinting is consists of many common procedures: RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) utilizes special restriction enzymes to cut portions of the extracted DNA and focuses on repeating sequences of the DNA bases that differs from each individual. Electrophoresis separates the DNA and measures the portions by length. Autoradiography produces an x-ray of the results after the portions are sorted. The scientists then determine the…

other forensic identification processes because it remains the same overtime, unlike fingerprints and has a higher accuracy than biometric iris scanners. The first methods used for DNA profiling for finding out genetics involved restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. The method involves DNA to be collected from cells and cut into small pieces using a restriction enzyme. This generates thousands of DNA fragments of differing sizes and then separated on the basis of size using…

Biotechnology plays a vital role in today’s society. According to Webster, biotechnology is the manipulation of living organisms or their components to produce useful, usually commercial products. Biotechnologies can vary in applications and complexity, but they all have the ability to change our society and help us prepare for and meet some of the world’s most pressing challenges today. In the history of uses of biotechnology, it has been known to help provide a more reliable food source,…

Introduction Suprasegmental, also called Prosodic Feature, in phonetics, a speech feature such as stress, tone, or word juncture that accompanies or is added over consonants and vowels; these features are not limited to single sounds but often extend over syllables, words, or phrases. They are features over above the segmental values such as place or manner of articulation, thus the supra- in segmental.The term prosodic comes from poetry, where it refers to the metrical structure of verse. One…

Considering that both American and Australian English are the same language, it might seem very strange how different the 2 dialects are. Both derive from British English, and are largely similar. Yet, there’s no denying that there are some very obvious differences. It can be said that the main reason is due to the fact that Australian English (as with other varieties, such as New Zealand English) have had less time to come into its own form as compared to America English. Hence, while…

tell /heɪt/. Why does English have silent letters? Changes in pronunciation have occurred due to the different factors. Being a Germanic language, English has overcome several periods that influenced the development of the phonetic system. Great Vowel Shift caused a total change of sound pronunciation, and these changes affected the appearance of silent letters. Of course, historical changes have the biggest influence on the development of the language. However, there are some other factors…

refer to the rustling of leaves in the wind. Throughout the poem, vowel sounds are more significant than metre in conveying the atmosphere. The assonance “braunen, rauschenden” (v.1) hints at the speaker’s excitement or emotional turmoil. The darker diphthongs contrast with the light [aɪ̯]- and [ɪ]-sounds of the second verse, which emphasise how small the rays of light are that barely manage to shimmer through the trees. The vowels of the third verse convey the warmth of the…

setting us up for social interactions is our eye sight ability. A new born child can only see about eight to thirteen inches. Many researchers have concluded that this is a biology preparing us for our social world, because 8 to 13 inches is about the length of where the new born usually breast feeds. It has also been found that newborns prefer looking at areas of high contrast such as the eyes. (Dunlea, Lecture 4/06/2017, Infant’s Biological Preparedness for Social World). This supports the…

texts to the original song lyrics to examine how closely related the syllable count is in the translations and the original song. In order to further examine the rhythm, I will examine the use of long vowels in the original song compared to the translated text to see whether the use of long vowels in the translations matches with the original song. Also I will look more closely to those songs that have distinctly different syllable count compared to the original, to see whether the translations…

moderate hearing loss bilaterally. Taylor can hear sounds (louder than her aided threshold), like a dog barking, baby’s crying, and telephone ring. On figure 1, the speech banana shows that what vowels and consonants that Taylor can hear; for example, Taylor can hear consonants like /z, m, p, sh/ and vowels like /i, o, u/. In addition, she cannot hear sounds (softer than her aided threshold), like wind sound and water drops. 3. Based on the history and audiogram, Taylor might delay her…
