INTRODUCTION

The protocols at the transport layer of the OSI reference model provides an end-to-end data delivery service for application processes to exchange messages over the Internet. Protocols operating in the Transport layer use the services of the Internet Protocol (IP) to deliver messages. Many protocols exist at his layer and one of the most important protocols at this layer is Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) for the delivery of data between the Application Layer and the Internet Layer. The shortcoming of IP to guarantee the delivery of datagrams is overcome by TCP by setting up a virtual circuit between the communicating ...

Introduction

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a very influential technique that helps in amplifying the specific segments of DNA. This biochemical procedure is performed in-vitro that is quite different from cloning. This technique is a fusion of synthesis protocol of distinct repeated segments of DNA and thermostable DNA polymerase application that has given scientists a very potent analytical, immunological and molecular technique used prevalently in clinical laboratory science (Garibyan & Avashia, 2013). PCR is based on three primary steps that include denaturation of the template into single strands, annealing ...

Introduction

Fostering diversity and multicultural inclusion in STEM majors is one of the most problematic areas on the today’s business and academic agendas (Barzilai, 2005). Duerstock and Shingledecker (2014) argue that the practice shows that attracting culturally diverse interns to the professional and educational fields is an effective approach to cultivating equitable working environments. Although a number of informative studies have been conducted to analyze theoretical perspectives of the problem, brining cultural diversity to the workplaces is still practically and conceptually impoverished, especially in the public segment of economy (Ross, 1985).
The scholars and the practitioners unanimously agree on ...

Increased Competition

Abstract
Special events occur for a number of purposes such as celebrations, commemorations, education and promotion purposes. Event planning enables the clients to engage with their audience fully through the creation of design as well as memorable live events as individuals often lack the necessary expertise and time of planning events themselves. The special event planning industry over the last two decades has grown enormously, and the job market in the sector is on the uptick. This industry has played a great role in the human society as it has existed to be of influence in the hospitality and tourism ...

There are indicators in global studies showing that organizations are undergoing different challenges in the quest to become multinational. Varying aspects of institutional based and resource based views extensively determine the way an organization will conduct its business transactions and activities. Among these activities is the development of much more efficient supply chain networks which have the ability to meet the demands of the new market. The failure to take on this analysis has always been the main reason behind companies’ failure, though this fact is always realized when it is too late.
The main problem focus is ...

The advancement in molecular genetics and genomics and their application in the field of medicine will raise crucial socio-scientific issues. Science teaching has the objective of educating scientifically literate citizens while genetic and genomic technologies addresses the science courses. The prime goal of the educational policies in all industrialized societies is to provide science literacy in education. The Western world applies a similar set of scientific standards. The key role attributes to genes as determinants of health, behavior, and human identity. Molecular Genetics and Genomics (325) say that genetics is a scientific field with the concern of science literacy. The media ...

Canterbury Tales

Introduction
The Canterbury tales are a set of short stories written by Geoffrey Chaucer in Middle English by the end of the 14th century. The Canterbury tales are a set of stories told in a pilgrimage to the pilgrims. This makes them very interesting as the analysis of each of the characters helps explore the culture and way of life in the 14th century. It also gives an insight into the feelings, emotions and social structure of the life of the English in the 14th century (Linne R. Mooney, 2006).

Character analysis

The four characters chosen for analysis include the knight, the wife ...

Fyodor Dostoyevsky's existentialist 1864 novel Notes from the Underground tells the tale of the Underground Man, a rambling, incoherent, and bitter civil servant in St. Petersburg. The novel's story is told from the perspective of this strange and mercurial character, in the form of monologues and diary entries that convey the man's potentially skewed perspective. While we see the world through his eyes (and therefore his morals), the Underground Man is most decidedly an anti-hero in his actions and attitudes. Unlike most virtuous heroes in fiction, an anti-hero does not fight for a greater cause, nor does he stand up for ...

The Future of Cloud Computing

Introduction
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing applies to the development of parallel computing, distributed computing, and grid computing (Rad, et al., 2009). Cloud computing refers both to a platform and a type of application (Buyya, Yeo, Venugoplas, Broberg, & Brandic 2009). Cloud computing platforms provide the services necessary for developers to create new SaaS applications; it is a dynamic process that provisions, configures, reconfigures, and deprovisions servers. Cloud platforms provide a pool of resources to host different applications where computing power is delivered on demand (Van, Tran, & Menaud, 2009). Cloud applications use large databases and powerful servers that host Internet-based applications and services. ...
