- 891: The Downy Woodpecker
- ... thinking about nesting earlier than most birds and several months before they actually nest. After spending the winter alone, the downies seem to come to life in early February, moving more quickly and taking more interest in their own species. Their normal tap, tap, tap becomes a quite different unbroken trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, lasting several seconds. The tapping is no longer simply an effort to find food but a means of communicating to ... female takes the others. According to study, young downies become independent at the age of 41 days. Many people have seen youngsters on suet feeders in late summer with no apparent adult escort, nor any interest in other downies in the area. In fact, the adults will drive off the youngsters at the suet feeders. Downy woodpeckers have only one brood a year in the north, but sometimes two in the ...
- 892: James Watson's The Double Helix: A Review
- ... Watson felt justified because Herman was becoming less and less interested in teaching Watson because of Herman's current personal affairs (Herman and his wife decided to get a divorce). With Herman's lack of interest in teaching biochemistry, Watson found himself spending the majority of the day working with Ole on his experiments. While in Copenhagen, Herman suggested that Watson go on a spring trip to the Zoological station at ... not working on other projects. That year Watson worked on researching the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). A vital component to TMV was the nucleic acid, so it was the perfect front to mask his continued interest in DNA. Over time and hard work, Watson was able to show that some parts of TMV were helical in shape and thus decided to return to work on the structure of DNA. With more ...
- 893: What To Do About Immigration
- ... Ethics and Immigration Fears" he explores the issue of immigration and the problems it causes. Mills sees immigration as a threat to American nation as an ethnic group. He expresses his concern that high birth rates and liberal immigration laws allowing to bring relatives result in a high percentage of Mexican population in some areas. In his article Mills agrees with Peter Brimelow saying that "the current mass immigration from predominantly ... some of them do become dependents on Welfare, but Kennedy is certain that "immigrants are not parasitic on the "native" economy but productive participants in it" (313). He supports this statement by saying that unemployment rates among immigrants are not higher than among native workers (313).To support his reason that the country needs immigrants Kennedy refers to the numbers given by the Stanford economist Clark W. Reynolds who concluded that ...
- 894: New Developments or Research in Genetic Cloning: Summary
- ... small. Once a suspected linkage result is confirmed, researchers can then test other markers known to map close to the one found, in an attempt to move closer and closer to the disease gene of interest. The gene can then be cloned if the DNA sequence has the characteristics of a gene and it can be shown that particular mutations in the gene confer disease. Cloning by Nuclear Transfer This method ... during DNA synthesis. restriction enzyme: A degradative enzyme that recognizes and cuts up DNA that is foreign to a cell. cDNA (complementary DNA): DNA that is identical to a native DNA containing a gene of interest except that the cDNA lacks noncoding regions because it is synthesized in the laboratory using mRNA templates. operon: A unit of genetic function common in bacteria and phages and consisting of regulated clusters of genes ...
- 895: Apathy 2
- ... and yet they still became the tame, over-apathetic voters of today. So what is working for todays young people that was not for the generations before? One difference is the new found power of interest groups. Interest groups that have strong youth support include the Sierra Club, and S.A.D.D. While these groups may not have the budgets of others such as the N.R.A.; they do have the ...
- 896: Transitions of Reptiles to Mammals
- ... are known from every continent except Australia but are most common in the Late Permian and Early Triassic of South Africa. The several features that separate modern reptiles from modern mammals doubtlessly evolved at different rates. Many attributes of mammals are correlated with their highly active lifestyle; for example, efficient double circulation of blood with a completely four-chambered heart, anucleate and biconcave erythrocytes (blood cells), the diaphragm, and the secondary ... may actually be an early ungulate), a herbivore-like jaw with molars that have flatter tops for better grinding, and also an insectivore (Paranygenulus). Because the characteristics that separate reptiles and mammals evolved at different rates and in a response to a variety of interrelated conditions, at any point in the period of transition from reptiles to mammals there were forms that combined various characteristics of both groups. such a pattern ...
- 897: Genetic Engineering
- ... which it is not possible to work efficiently. This problem was solved in 1970 using a bug, Escherichia coli, a normally innocuous commensal occupant of the human gut. By inserting a piece of DNA of interest into a vector molecule, a molecule with a bacterial origin of replication, when the whole recombinant construction is introduced into a bacterial colonies all derived from a single original cell bearing the recombinant vector, in a short time a large amount of DNA of interest is produced. This can be purified from contaminating bacterial DNA easily and the resulting product is said to have been "cloned". So far, scientists have used genetic engineering to produce, for example: - improve vaccines against ...
- 898: A Public Relations Proposal For The American Egg Board
- ... salmonellosis is extremely low for healthy individuals. Dr. Mason also mentions that there is one outbreak for every 1 billion eggs consumed. In addition, according to statistics of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Salmonella Enteritidis in eggs is not the main cause of food poisoning deaths. With proper care and handling, it poses no greater risk than any other perishable food. The American Egg Board is an active ... this audience become well informed, considering the vital role they may play in a large portion of households in the U.S. Men ages 35 -64 are also an important public because of their increased interest in health and fitness. Another important audience involved is the media. This group consists of food, lifestyle and health editors of major publications (newspapers and magazines). They are vital to the success of the campaign ...
- 899: The Effects of Foreign Species Introduction On An Ecosystem
- ... for the fish which formerly ate the mussels, a new level of biological amplification is inserted. This results in the higher levels containing more toxins than they previously did, which can lead to higher death rates, and lower birth rates, which is an example of a lower biotic potential. Finally, abiotic factors may not be prepared for the new species introduction. If, for example, a forest has a certain amount of rocks suitable for the ...
- 900: Julius Ceasar - Who Is The Rea
- ... tell the whole city that they had just committed a murder? The only one that comes to mind is the honourable Brutus. He tells to Romans that the killing of Caesar is in the best interest of Rome. He is also honourable to his country; he puts his best friend and himself after the well being of Rome. When he began to realise that killing Caesar is not in the best interest of Rome, he admits it like an honourable man, and then kills himself. "Caesar, now be still; I kill'd not thee with half so good a will. (5,5, 51-2)" All in all ...
