Lens Case Study

Critical thinking is described as unbiased, clear and factual thought process that helps any student with any decision-making process. Critical thinking is an essential tool that every student will need to master to continue academic success. There are multiple phases of critical thinking as described by Benjamin Bloom which include remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating. The critical thinking process starts by remembering. If we can remember what we read and apply key facts we will be able to move forward to understand what decisions we need to make. From there we can then apply the facts to the decision we have to make and innovate, or create, as needed.

Before it undergoes PCR the DNA extraction has a few steps to be done first, which is crucial to allow for amplification to begin, it needs to undergo cell lysis and denature the proteins, which then is purified (Tracey, 2017). The extracted DNA was then put into NaOH, a strong base and heated to 95 degrees Celsius, which leads to breaking down the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous (Tracey, 2017). Once all the previous steps have been completed, the PCR reaction can commence after mixing with primers, Taq DNA polymerase, reaction buffers and dNTPS. The Thermocycler was utilized to facilitate PCR making it faster, more reliable and cheaper (Tracey, 2017). The sample will undergo 35 amplification cycles, producing 3.44x1010 target sequences [ 235= 3.44x1010

“….he says he would as soon put fireworks in my pillow-case as to let me have those stimulating people about now.”(Gilman, 4)

The ethical lens that most accurately reflect the recommended solution is the Rights lens. This ethical lens emphasizes duties, obligations, rights, and responsibilities reflected through the deontological theories. By arranging a training program, Adam acknowledges Kelly’s right to having an equal opportunity to undertake the new role. He also performs his obligation to act responsibly toward his employer to appoint the right candidate for the new position; the training program will ensure that Kelly is well prepared to take on the Finance Executive role.

Half the fun of taking photos is the ability to share them with friends and family on social media. In doing so, the photographer should receive credit for the photo being posted. Giving proper credit to an artist is a nice way of saying "thank you for taking such a great photo". Professionals show respect by giving credit to those who deserve it. This article Grand Lens Photography explains why it is important to give proper credit to photographers.

A farm that features agritourism was supposed to be visited, and then analyzed using the “Seven lenses” that was provided by the client on Moodle. The farm that was visited by the writer exhibited all aspects of the seven lenses almost perfectly. This paper will list and explain how the farm that was visited during the summer exhibited the seven lenses.

The research used Max Weber’s “Theory of Social Stratification” that tells how people discern each other when they belong to different classes especially the rich and the poor and those people who are on top because of money and fame. This shows how uneducated is ostracized by the rich as if the poor are not members of the society. This theory also shows class divisions that categorizes people into three classes: Upper Class, Middle Class, and Lower Class. It is Class the division that separates the rich or opulent from the poor or the weak. Marxism in the other outlook is not just about wealth but also of how the society sees their social ranks in life.

Do you ever walk through the rain with your glasses and always get wet lenses?

The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) was the final portion of this lab report. BLAST is provided courtesy of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). After running the five chosen tests, students were given the two 16S rRNA sequences that were associated with their assigned culture. The BLAST results served to confirm or disprove the hypothesis of what the unknown may be. The BLAST program compared the given 16S rRNA sequence to a database of known sequences and searched for similarity. (10) This search tool is capable of comparing nucleotide or protein sequences to find statistical significance between the matches. A perfect match to the unknown sequence is indicated by a

There is a "trick" that makes high prescription lenses for nearsighted vision thinner. You can use it to minimize the lens thickness of even low index lens materials such as standard CR-39 plastic. The trick is buying small round lenses. The lens curvature of a minus prescription (for nearsightedness) is concave. That is, the lens is thin at the center and gradually thickens until you reach the edge where it's thickest. If you made the lens thin at the edge, it would be too thin at the center, which would make the lens too fragile. Therefore, these lenses have an absolute minimum thickness at the center to ensure its strength.

If you have recently been prescribed progressive lenses, you have likely experienced problems seeing objects that are nearby. You probably also have trouble seeing things from a mid-range distance. When you must struggle to read or view objects clearly from various distances, progressive lenses make a logical choice.

I frequently find myself experiencing a set of hunches when it comes to buying products, particularly expensive products such a new car or a new laptop per say. Ever since I purchased my first laptop, I have been very skeptic about which brand to buy, what specifications to look for and never the less, when is the time to buy. I still remember asking the sales clerk what the best time for me to buy my laptop at a discounted price was to which she replied “Black Friday”. I had a hunch she was going to say the best time to buy was during Christmas season but when she mentioned Black Friday, it all made sense. I started to think about all the lines people made during that day and all the money stores spend on advertising and concluded that the sales clerk was right. I learned ever since that an educated hunch has to be based on research not just on what your gut tells you.

According to the dictionary definition, a lens is an optical device that is used to focus or disperse light beams by the means of refraction. Moreover, the lens is made up of transparent material such as glass or clear plastic which allows the light pass through and interacts with the medium without it being absorbed. A lens is typically made to focus light unlike prisms which refracts it to show the different band of wavelength.

Three samples were prepared: Soy bean with GMO, Soy bean without GMO, Lettuce, and Chex® cereal. The food samples were crushed into a powder and separated. Next, 100 µl of Edwards buffer was added to samples. For another minute, the food was then grounded. Then, 900 µl of Edwards’s buffer was then added to each sample and vortex. The samples were then boiled for 5 minutes and centrifuged for 2 minutes. Next 350 µ of each supernatant was transferred to fresh tubes. 400 µl of isopropanol was then added to the supernatant samples. The solutions were then inversed

The universal and indexed sequences were amplified by PCR using adaptor-ligated DNA fragments, NEBNext High Fidelity 2X PCR Master Mix, index primers provided in NEBNext Multiplex Oligos for Illumina, and Universal PCR Primers provided in NEBNext Multiplex Oligos for Illumina. Once the PCR was done, the adaptor-ligated DNA was cleaned up using AMPure XP beads to remove any unwanted products.
