Taking their inspiration from National Novel Writing Month ("NaNoWriMo"), which challenges its members to write a complete novel in a month, a group of bloggers has issued the "NaBloPoMo" challenge - for bloggers to post at least once every day during the entire month of November. There is a social website dedicated to the site, providing inspiration and promotion opportunities for members' blogs. Visit the site (http://www.nablopomo.com/) for more information.

The Google Operating System blog points out that Google's integration of Scholar results means that students and researchers have to settle for "subscription required" firewalls when trying to pull up a paper. Hit the "All (x) versions" link, and you'll often find a readable copy on Google's servers.

Fiber Optic cable has a complex design. This type of cable has an outer optical coverage that surrounds the light and traps it within a central core. This type of cable includes standard optical fibers with 2 connectors and furcation tubing, bifurcated fiber, cross fiber connectorized assemblies, long length assemblies to name a few. As a company, WPI provides the product developers and researchers with the UV basic attenuation data by fiber length. This is post manufacturing for starters. One such proprietary formulation of WPI fiber resists UV degradation and allows for deep UV down to 185 nm. However, the UV performance of the fiber is dependent on two parameters like the basic attenuation and solarization induced loss over the usage time. When you purchase the UV qualified fiber from WPI, you will receive a certificate. This certificate states for the UV transmission of fiber optic assemblies after it has been built. Also at the same time, you will receive a certificate of the induced loss that is generated by continuous exposure to a 30 Watt deuterium bulb of each of the fiber material batch from 185-360 nm. As we consider the low volume for the flow cell, be it for FIA or HPLC and for the process analysis, WPI has performance advantages. The advantages that WPI provides are as follows: * High UV transmission. * Low internal volume, 2.4 - 24 µL. * 0-10 mL/min flow rate. * Fits 500 and 600 µm fibers. * Wetted materials of PEEK, fused silica or PTFE. * Liquid core waveguide technology-UV/VIS flow cell.

The process of horizontal gene transfer (otherwise known as HGT) can be described as one organism acquiring the DNA of another organism. This can be observed in many types of organisms but is usually performed by prokaryotic organisms - mainly bacteria.

The concept of gene transfer between cells first existed in bacteria; they are capable of at least four natural forms of genetic exchange. The genetic transfer technique is used very widely in basic research and applied biology. The delivery of DNA into an animal cell is a very established and fundamental procedure. It has become a very crucial tool for gene cloning, the study of gene function and the regulation and production of small amounts of recombinant proteins for analysis and verification. It helps to express the introduced genetic construct in the recipient cells or inactivate particular endogenous genes.

Patch cord means an insulated lead with a plug at each end, for use with a patch board. It is also known as patch cable. On the other side, that is used to connect an end device to something else, as a power source. One of the most common uses of this cable is connecting a laptop, desktop or another end device to a wall outlet.

Optical fiber is a thin, flexible, adaptable, transparent fiber which is made of silica. It is a flexible transparent material consisting of core & cladding which is used for transmission of light rays based on refraction of light. Optical fiber is the basic transmission medium for fiber-optic communication. These include the concept and classification of propagation modes along the fiber, single-mode condition, numerical aperture, mechanisms and specifications of optical attenuation and dispersion, as well as nonlinearities of optical fiber. While dispersion specifies mode-dependent or wavelength-dependent propagation speed of optical signal propagating in an optical fiber, which is both linear effects, nonlinear effects such as stimulated Raman scattering. Stimulated Brillouin scattering, and power-dependent refractive index known as Kerr effect nonlinearity may also affect wave propagation in optical fiber. Although standard optical fibers are most often used in optical communication systems, a variety of specialty fibers have also been developed for special applications. The optical performance of solid-core polymer-based microstructured optical fibers is the Theoretical model developed earlier is utilized for solid-core triangular air/polymer microstructured optical fibers (MPOFs). The scalar variational approach is implemented for evaluating the fundamental modal characteristics of polymer-based MOFs. Effective index for higher-order mode at terahertz (THz) regime is evaluated and the cut-off conditions are also identified. Coupling characteristics of long-period gratings (LPG) in MPOF has been examined. The sensitivity coefficient is explored for realizing efficient coupling in the evanescent field-based sensing applications.

Bifurcated fiber is an optic Light-guide that performs both transmitting and receiving functions. Bifurcated fiber Cable assemblies are Y-shaped assemblies with two fibers and the same diameter. The two fibers are together inside. On one end has a common Premium SMA 905 connector. Fibers diverge into two legs from the breakout point. Where the UHV version is made from 100-percent UHV compatible materials including a PEEK weave jacket the UHV and Air-service versions are available. Bifurcated Fiber Bundles, also known as Y-cables, are assembled from two high-grade optical fibers encased in stainless steel tubing for durability. We provide these bundles with seven fiber core sizes from Ø50 µm to Ø1000 µm.

A transgenic animal is one whose genome has been altered by the transfer of a gene or genes from another species. In biomedical research, in the laboratory, transgenic animals are routinely used as models. Over 95 percent of those users are genetically modified rodents, predominantly mice. Transgenic animals have many Utilities which made them much superior to the normal animals. Utilities of Transgenic Animals: * During medical research, transgenic animals are mostly used to identify the functions of some specific factors in complex homeostatic systems. These can be through the over- or under-expression of a modified gene (the inserted transgene). * In the toxicology as the responsive test animals for the detection of toxicants. * In mammalian developmental genetics. * In molecular biology, this analysis of the regulation of the gene expression, make use of the informative evaluation of some specific genetic change, at the level of the whole animal. * While in the pharmaceutical industry, for the targeted production of pharmaceutical proteins, and during the drug production also on the product efficacy testing. * In biotechnology, as producers of specific proteins. * For the genetically engineered hormones to increase milk yield, meat production. * In the cloning procedures to reproduce some specific bloodlines in the genetic engineering of the livestock, and in the aquaculture that affects the modification of animal physiology and/or anatomy, * Developing animals specially created for use in xenografting.

Microinjection for transgenic animals is a direct method to introduce DNA into either cytoplasm or nucleus. DNA microinjection methods are used to transfer the genes between animals. This is quite a popular technique for creating transgenic organisms. DNA microinjection is also known as the pronuclear microinjection. In this process, the genes must be transmitted through the germline, including germ cells of the animal that contains the same modified genetic material. Transgenic animals are those consequences of experimental application, wherein the DNA integrated into their germline. The first transgenic animals were produced in the year of 1980. Mice were one of the first transgenic animals at that time. https://www.wpiinc.com/micro-epore-pinpoint-cell-penetrator
