Colony Reports Samples For Students

Australia and New Zealand are in a unique part of the world. They are both fairly isolated, and the nearest countries to them tend to be much worse off socioeconomically (Papua New Guinea, for example. Many factors have contributed to their uniqueness over the years.

Firstly, due to their isolation, they both have very unique biodiversity. Australia, in particular, is known for its marsupials, such as the Kangaroo, the Tasmanian Devil, the (extinct) Tasmanian Tiger, Wallabies, etc. New Zealand is also famous for its unique animals, most famously the now-extinct Dodo bird. It is also of note that early humans ...

Is feminism post-modern?

Stoler’s article discusses how European colonizers sought to position themselves in their colonies as superior to the colonized natives, how they used gender to construct social morality, political and economic stability and proper conduct in order to do so. The article suggests the globalization and sexuality literature highlights dominant paradigms, but they do not exist alone. They serve in advancing activism and culture. Globalization has resulted to the spread of western culture, which mainly consists of racial discrimination and capitalism. Some have argued that globalization should be viewed as a phenomenon driven by migrant labor, instead of a flow of ...

ABSTRACT – Genetic engineering now has straight forward ecofriendly strategies to produce transformation in plasmids. The transformation process allows engineers to introduce DNa with specific desired capabilities into a host plasmid. In this way plants can be created that are able to resist a particular enemy or stressor without having to use toxics like herbicides and insecticides. The bacteria E. Coli was used to determine whether it can be made resistant to ampicillin or not. AmpR was integrated into the host cells and the tracer, GFP was used to identify expressed cells. The laboratory demonstrated that transformation by plasmids so ...

JAMESTOWN DISCUSSION

The choice on the location of Jamestown was based on a number of key emphasis factors. An example of such factors was the fortification of the location or rather the strategies of the location in terms of defense in case of an attack. The workforce composed mostly of laborers and people skilled in construction. This is because with the settlement coming up there had to be a lot of construction work in terms of housing and other forms of shelter necessary for human survival. The economic activity was mostly agriculture which coupled with trade to form the economic backbone of the ...

Abstract

The report presents the results of a microbiological experiment to confirm the hypothesis that as leftover food sits out over time, the number of bacteria in the food will increase. The study was undertaken to indicate the risk of bacterial contamination and the importance of proper storage technique. The study was performed using a liquid food (corn tortilla soup) which was exposed to the external environment at room temperature. The control group in our experiment was the same food stored in a zip lock bag and refrigerated.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Our company is Prestige Worldwide Investing. Our task is to determine which property is the best investment for the three different risk investors which is the risk averse, risk neutral, and risk seeking. Richard Nixon is a risk-seeking investor. Like most VC (venture capitalist), Richard pursues the project, which is high risky and high payback. Bill Clinton is risk-neutral investor, and he is only concerned about high return regardless of the risk. Ronald Reagan is a risk-averse investor looking for safe investments. For example, risk-averse investors will prefer the one with low relative risk when faced with two ...

The process of identifying an organism involves the determination of where an isolate or an organism needs to be placed within a group of organisms that are already known. The process is usually done to conform to a given scheme of classification. Most of the microorganisms that may be found in the environment require to be identified aiming at identifying the different species that may be found in a given environment. The identification enables physicists and health workers to associated different sources with different organisms especially those that cause diseases. Organism classification may also help in the diagnosis of different disease by ...

There has been use of a broad range of methods for controlling bacterial growth. The specific method employed is based on the kind of bacteria, as well as the nature of the material for which the user is seeking. Therefore, in order to control bacteria that form endospore needs techniques varied from the ones utilized for other cells, while surgical equipment sterilization would need treatments that are different from the ones employed in prevention of infection of an injury. Ultraviolet light, denoted as UV, can be termed as an electromagnetic radiation, which has a wavelength ranging from 100 to 300 nm. ...

Soap manufacturers develop various products that include conventional soaps and antibacterial soaps to address today’s microbial threats. Antibacterial soaps are developed based on conventional ones with antibacterial agents added to the product. These antibacterial agents must have the ability to kill germs, but should not give adverse effects to human’s skin and general physiology. Scientific approach to investigate the effectiveness of antibacterial soaps begins with the hypothesis that antibacterial soap reduces more bacterial contamination compared to the conventional (non-antibacterial) soap. The two hypotheses are:
- There will be decrease in bacterial growth variables (types, numbers of ...

Introduction

Bacillus Subtilis are the organisms that are aerobic, Gram Positive, spore-forming belonging to the Bacillus genus. The organisms are together with other species that are closely related play a crucial role in disease, food poisoning as well as food spoilage. Lack of methods that are standardized for the identification of the organisms whether coming from the food or environment has made the tests to be difficult. Use of morphological as well as physiological tests have offered the best ways to identify organisms in the laboratory although there are inconsistent and lack of reliance in these methods.
Identification of an ...

The Boston Tea Party was a campaign by the Boston sons of liberty against the British tax policy and the India Company that controlled the importation of tea. On December 1773, some colonists boarded and demolished the tea after Boston officials declined returning the taxed shiploads of tea (Burgan 23).
The Tea party was termination of a resistance progress in British America against the Tea Act that the British government had passed in 1773. Colonists rejected the Tea Act since they thought that it desecrated the Englishmen rights to taxation. Protesters successfully prohibited those who unloaded the taxed tea in ...

The transformation of bacterial cells using Puc18 plasmid as a vector
Abstract
In molecular cloning experiments, the DNA to be cloned is obtained from an organism and then broken into smaller fragments through digestion with restriction enzymes. The fragments of restriction enzyme digestion are then ligated /combined with some vector DNA to produce recombinant DNA molecules. These recombinant DNA molecules are then introduced into a host organism. When the host organism replicates, the recombinant molecule is replicated together with it. With time, large populations of transformed cells or clones are generated expressing the genotype and phenotype of the inserted ...

Introduction

Of the over 6, species of anthozoans found worldwide, the northern Gulf of Mexico only has a few, Renilla mulleri is one of these. Commonly known as the “sea pansy” the Renilla mulleri is an anthozoan colony characterized by elongated white polyps that are vividly luminescent when handled in the dark. Under stimulus, these waves of luminescence move concentrically across the colony. Other characteristics include a short peduncle, which anchors to the substratum and makes distinct trails in the mud and the ability of the colony to use water to inflate itself.. It can be differentiated from the Renilla reniformis by ...

“The expression of ampicillin resistance and luciferase enzyme genes by E. coli transformation using the pUC18 and lux plasmids”
Abstract
The transformation process allows the uptake of DNA from the environment, with the incorporation and expression of genes. During this process, changes in the DNA of the receptor cell occur, producing some selective advantages in some cases, such as resistance to antibiotics. pUC18 and lux plasmids were used to determine the transformation process in Escherichia coli. Cells were made competent by the addition of calcium chloride and heat shock in order to induce the incorporation of the ...

Handwashing is an important process in controlling microorganism transmission and infectious diseases. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effectiveness of different antibacterial hand cleaners (soap, alcohol hand sanitizer and ethanol soaked wipes) on killing bacteria. Hands were sampled without cleaning with antibacterial hand cleaner (control), and after cleaning with antibacterial soap, alcohol sanitizer, and ethanol soaked wipes. Samples were taken with a sterile cotton swab and inoculated on agar plates. Each experiment was done three times. Colonies were counted, mean values and standard deviation were calculated, and data was reported. Alcohol and sanitizer and ethanol soaked ...

Abstract

Transformation remains, and hugely significant tool in extending the borders of life sciences and medicine. It can be referred as fixing intracellular DNA into a bacteria or organism through the vector, thus transforming it. This paper uses plasmid pUC18, self-reproducing circular/spherical strands of genes that may be modified. After the bacteria absorb the vector, some proteins not usually synthesized will occur. In this study, a system has been developed to monitor the transmittance of different DNA (genes) from a genetically transformed strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to E. coli. This mechanism is centered on yeast strains that contain several integrated ...

HISTORIES OF IMMIGRANT AUSTRALIA

- Summary
Subsequent to on site study in Williamstown (9 August 2013) and analysis of primary and secondary historical sources, this report imply that most of the existing nineteenth century edifices of Williamstown correlate to an era following the mass migration of the Gold Rush period.
Nevertheless, whilst subjective buildings may not expound or reinforce attributes of the immigrant, when taken jointly and measured in connection to the general waterfront landscape they do give some obvious understanding of the immigrants’ experiences. They also display the need of colonial Victoria to hastily structure community and social life so ...

The concept of the mental map, cognitive psychology, does not represent a vividly defined research theory. They are, however, stereotypes, cartographic history, discourse history and the history of travel. The developments in the field of geography and urban planning have tremendously contributed to the concept of cognitive map becoming a paradigm for interdisciplinary research on the on the spatial orientation capacity of humans. Mental mapping in academics, however, refers to the mental abilities that enable an individual to collect, organize, store, remember and analyze information about the spatial environment. It represented the spatial knowledge in the human brain and ...

Taiwan is the 17th largest global economy, 14th largest exporter and 16th largest importer, and also the third largest economy to be holding foreign exchange reserves, that are more than 180 billion US dollars. In the second half of the 20th century, Taiwan witnessed increased agrarian output because of the land reforms that were initiated, under the Chiang Kai shek’ rule. The 1960s saw a creation of export processing zones with attractive incentives for foreign investors. There was a gradual shift in emphasis from agriculture to technology because of several advantages that Taiwan presented in the international markets, and ...

Vermont History

Land was greatly valued during the period when the Vermont’s land conflict occurred. The New Hampshire Grants were now getting new families, including Ethan Allen. It was a common belief that the family with vast lands for the descendants and use had the greatest security. During this time, the elites of New York started claiming Vermont. The claim triggered sharp responses from Ethan Allen and the settlers.
The responses by Ethan Allen to the ‘Yorkers’ were right. Ethan, in his effort to solve the conflict, did not kill anybody. He only used to threaten people. If he did ...

Aboriginal or indigenous Australians are obviously the earliest people to live in Australia. The term "Aboriginal", stands for the earliest occupants of a given geographical location. In this sense, Aboriginal Australians are the original inhabitants of Australia and their descendants. Evidence shows that Aboriginal Australians have a higher burden of oral diseases than non-indigenous Australians (Parker & Jamieson, 2010). This is orchestrated by factors such as their belief, accessibility to medical services and so forth. This report takes a look at historical events, racism in oral healthcare services and cultural competency relating to Aboriginal Australians and also the appropriate recommendations ...

Project type: GBE-492 Genetic Engineering Project
I. INTRODUCTION, BACKGROUND and AIM
Sickle cell anemia is a devastating genetic disease which causes premature death. Sickle cell disease (SCD) is caused due to single amino acid change (glutamine to valine at position 6) in β chain of hemoglobin molecule, which causes the hemoglobin molecules to aggregate. These aggregated hemoglobin molecules make the red blood cells (RBCs) stiff and deformed (sickle shaped). These deformed cells block the normal blood flow. Although this disease is well-characterized, but no long-term treatment 1 is still available for this disease.
The discovery of the sickle ...
