2.1 Fundamental research Synthetic biology has a lot to offer in fundamental research. Starting from the most well characterised laboratory organism, E.coli, we are still in half way from full knowledge of understanding the function of all its genes as the functions of 20% of them are still to be identified (Keseler et al., 2011). Moreover there are many more other microorganisms with great importance which are even less-well understood. Synthetic biology provides the ability to make specific

These past few weeks of health informatics have brought to light many important aspects of technology within the health setting. My fellow classmates and I have gotten the chance to dig deep and learn about the use of health informatics in care such as with evidence-based nursing, media methods patient’s use to find health information, online communities of practice (CoP), and the use of Personal Health Records (PHR). I believe these innovations can be increasingly helpful in the care process, but

rarely offer disillusioned citizens reasons for optimism. As a result, those citizens don’t show up at the polls and vote because they do not believe that anything politicians say or do will make life better for them according to Fulwood (2014). Gimpel et al. (2003) stated that some of the top reasons for low turnout are low personal motivation, disinterest, ignorance and lack of awareness, restrictions placed on registration, the one-sidedness of elections, and the absence of serious mobilization

When one sees the Notre Dame de Paris cathedral in person or in pictures they are likely to be awestruck. The twin towers of the western façade rise high into the sky, seemingly in an attempt to scrape heaven. Spiky arches seem to grow out of the sides and claw at the ground. Inside it is cavernous with colored light filtering in through the large, intricate stained glass windows. All of these physical qualities make Notre Dame a prime example of Gothic architecture. It does not stand alone

A Call for Gun Control America 's love for guns can be traced back to when we were a young country trying to settle the frontier. Guns played a vital role in the daily life of isolated pioneers, whose survival was often dependent on one 's ability to protect oneself, hunt for food, and on occasion used for sport. Guns were a necessary evil. Yet when towns became established and the amenities of a citified society emerged, people continued to keep and use their weapons. Today the issue of whether

of the most often considered is getting candidates elected to office. Parties seek to mobilize the people who are their partisans in an effort to achieve that goal. Much research has examined the role of geographic constituencies in party politics (Gimpel and Schuknecht 2002, Black and Black 2007) including the role of the American South in whole (Lublin 2004) and in part (Lamis 1990, Bartley and Graham 1975). We use electoral politics to create a measure of party strength because it taps into the

Use of a Peer Support Intervention for Promoting Academic Engagement of Students with Autism in General Education Danielle D. Clawson SED 532 J. Babcock October 25, 2015   Abstract Students with autism spectrum disorder show benefits from being educated in general education classrooms with interactions with typically developing peers. However, behaviors exhibited by students with ASD often lead them back to segregated special education settings. The purpose of this study

Pierre-Auguste Renoir Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born in 1841 to Marguerite Merlet and Léonard Renoir. In 1844 his family moved to Paris and by 1854, at the young age of thirteen, began painting flowers on porcelain cups and saucers. Through his parents, he began as a painter for the porcelain industry; his parents felt this was the perfect start for the beginnings of an artist. He came from the town of Limoges, where porcelain became almost a symbol of status and wealth. By 1860 he had left

Straus (2001) defined corporal punishment as "an act carried out with the intention of causing a child to experience physical pain, but not injury, for purposes of correction or control" (as cited in Straus & Paschall, 2009, p.459). Two of the most prominent and widespread kinds of corporal punishment include slapping and spanking (Straus & Paschall, 2009, p. 459-460). This paper will analyze the laws regarding corporal punishment in many countries, the developmental theories such as the behavioral

The Effect of Electronic Journals on Scholarly Communication In recent years, scholarly communication has virtually exploded into the on-line electronic world. This has brought a number of demonstrable benefits to the scholarly communication process as well as highlighting a number of inefficiencies and obstacles to the full deployment of information technology. However, the explosion has also brought a spate of credulous accounts concerning the transformative potential of information technology
