Myosin regulatory light chain 3 (MRCL3) is a subunit of the myosin regulatory light chain which is though to play a specific role myosin regulation. This gene is coded by four exons and has similar calcium-binding domain to a retinal specific gene, Recoverin, which is involved in visual excitation and light adaption (Dizhoor, 2002). A study on the genomic structure and organization of candidate genes that causes myopia, which is a common eye disorder, showed that MRCL3 is expressed in ocular tissues...

Innovation has been the main driving force behind the telecom industry. Being part of a service sector it is extremely customer driven and is highly influenced by the advancements in technology. The sector involves high level of competition among several companies operating in the same markets hence innovation ends up being the key competitive edge that every company strives for. ATT Inc. ATT Inc. is one of the largest telecommunication companies in the world it is the fastest growing 3G network...

IR stands for Infrared Radiation, which is an electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength longer (but lower frequency) than that of visible light, but shorter (and the frequency higher) than that of terahertz radiation microwave. IR devices are used for both short and medium range communications and control. There must be passable straight line through space between the transmitter-source and the receiver-destination hence the mode is line-of-sight. Radio frequency (RF) technology is one of the...

The flight of a bullet through the air is determined by various factors. Trajectory is the path followed by a bullet when released from a barrel. The bullet forms projectile due to gravity and air resistance which brings bullet to a fall. There area several parameters which affect the motion of a bullet through the air. These include drag gravity, air resistance, humidity, wind and temperature. These factors affect the motion of a bullet through the air either by increasing speed or slowing it....

Does the end justify the means This is the question that reigns in the field of medical biotechnology especially at the mention of embryonic stem research. With human beings being faced by diseases that are increasingly hard to treat, scientists have unearthed the potential of the stem cells in treating some of these conditions. There has however been continued controversy of whether this is a justifiable means of reaching this end. Ethical, moral and legal questions have been raised by opponents...

One of the most common definitions of disease is lack of ease in any particular area of the body. Some disease can be cured and some can not. Some have cure and some do not have any cure. In this report one such disease is elaborated, which when occurred can not be cured. And that disease is AIDS. AIDS is an acronym and its full form is Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Acquired means that one can be infected with it. Immune Deficiency means weakness of the system in body which fights against...

Within a span of just a few years, the entire globe has seen many technological advances. It indeed is true that different sections of the globe has seen varying levels of growth, but there has been one thing in common and that is growth. Just a few years back, when there was no technological revolution in place, people had to stand in never ending queues for almost every other thing, be it paying some utility bill or doing some account transfer or even a query as small as the accounts balance enquiry....

Global warming is the continuous rise in the mean temperatures of the earths atmosphere and oceans. Global warming and its associated impact of human life have been at the centre of intense debate over the last couple of decades. Climate change is the gradual change in the climatic conditions over the earth. While global warming is largely driven by human activities associated with the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, climate change has been happening since long before man inhabited...

Pollution refers to the introduction of foreign bodies into the environment thereby causing instability, harm, discomfort or disorder to the environment or ecosystem to which the contaminants are introduced. Pollution can be in the form of energy or chemical substances. The energy forms of pollution include heat, noise and light. The pollution elements known as pollutants are substances that are foreign energies or substances, or they occur naturally. When such energies and substances occur naturally,...

Web services offer ample benefits to develop business in the modern scenario. The advantages of web service technology outweigh the disadvantages, however, issues are to be constantly addressed to maintain standards. Cost effectiveness, code reuse, application  data integration, and versatility best attract business organizations in adopting web services in their growth path (Cavanaugh, 2006, p. 7). Web service brings immediate response to an organization. The scope for outsourcing will be...

In every sphere of life, computers play a major part in information processing and storage of large volumes of data. In the medical field, computers have been used as means for storage of patients information, diagnosis and research papers, medical journals and important medical documents. As Oak states, This information can be effectively stored in a computer database. Unlike before, doctors no longer have to memorize what medication each patient is on  and the amount needed for every medication. With...

The website Survive 2012 lists one occurrence as the most predictable disaster and the leading candidate for a 2012 doomsday scenario a collision between earth and a galactic visitor. A large percentage of 2012 theorists expect a replay of the cosmic event believed to be responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs. Either a comet, asteroid, or even a heretofore unknown planet will play a devastating game of irresistible force meets immovable object.. Fueling such assertions is the possible existence...

What are biofuels Biofuels are substances that are derived from natural sources such as plant matter and are used as a replacement for normal fuel with the intention of creating a source of fuel thats economically viable and environmentally friendly. The focus of this paper is the biofuel Biodiesel and its variant using the Jatropha curcas plant as an effective and economically viable source of fuel. Biodesel Jatropha curcas is a poisonous scrub weed of the euphorbia family originating in Central...

In his lecture Why Technology Joel Tarr looks back at the things that influenced and shaped his interest in contemporary technology. In doing so, Tarr also retraces the effects of technology on the industrial and environmental landscape of urban Jersey City. At the start of his lecture, Tarr recognizes the need to identify how we get to where we are now and what the turning points were. Tarr initially reveals that, as an urban environmentalist, he was astonished that he was awarded an honor that...

Scientific inventions and developments have been part and parcel of human history. It is argued that the two concepts are essential in helping mankind adapt to the environment. Generally, no human society has ever existed without the fundamentals of science. In modern times, science involves a logical thinking process and the application of mathematical concepts such as statistics. Scientific concepts based on this argument can therefore be traced alongside the ancient Greek civilization (Stewart,...

Technology can be rightly said to have brought desired changes in every occupation, in all developing societies. No society can claim to have developed without the benefits of technology. Technology application and the changes it brings are in fact intended and necessitated, as it is a part of the larger development of the society. Scientific research may well be described as the heart of our development and progress. Developments in every sphere and the benefits it provides for mankind is directly...
