- Linear and Non-linear devices
A linear electrical component is an electrical element that has a linear relationship between current and voltage in a circuit. Examples include resistors, capacitors and inductors.
Non-linear electrical elements do not have a linear relationship between the current and voltage. An example is a diode where the current is a non-linear function of the voltage.
The load line analysis is a graphical analysis of the characteristics of non-linear electronic circuits to show the constraints that is placed on the non-linear devices by the rest of the circuit.

Aim: To separate Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) using poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE).

Introduction: Bioluminescence observed in many marine organisms is due to a protein called as Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). Since its discovery, GFP has been useful in biotechnology due to its versatility and ease of transformation in E. coli (Chalfie et al., 1994). GFP is a 26.87 kilodaltons (kD) protein composed of 239 amino acids. It has a barrel structure with a fluorescent chromophore embedded deep in the interior of the protein. The chromophores in GFP are excited at a wavelength of 395 nm, and when the electrons of chromophores drop to a lower energy state they emit fluorescent light Continue reading...

Zydeco music originated in Southwest Louisiana and it was pioneered by the French Creole speakers. The music blends R&B, Blues and Cajun music. The songs are a reflection of the rural beginnings and the prevailing economic conditions that are reflected in the song titles, bluesy vocals and lyrics of Zydeco. The music developed as a synthesis of ancient Creole music, Afro-America traditions, Cajun music, Jazz, gospel, blues and R&B. The music was often called French music and the first recording was made in 1928. It was the Creole music that formed the foundation for the music that was later Continue reading...

Many different artists saw their rise and fall throughout the decades; many have also made their comebacks in the 2000s. There are a couple of key artists that have made their name prominent in music history, changing the way people heard music (Cullen, 2001). The important eras Continue reading...

Jazz is a unique style of music that took development in America during the early 20th century. It made a widespread popularity particularly in the urban areas such as New Orleans, and it served as a social-leveler and unifier. Melding both black and white citizens, Jazz became the basis for social dance music and the provided the early opportunities for public integration (“Jazz”, Encyclopedia.com). The music also helped stir up the national mood particularly during the Depression and the Second World War. The most remarkable period of the development of jazz is during the 1940s and 50s.

Brian Epstein brought into the Beatles band some essential skills of management which were significant in improving the band’s image in the public and the media. This was quite beneficial in enhancing the popularity of the rock band. However, Brian had no prior experience with the players in the music business which includes; the media and the entertainment industry. This would, therefore, give room for the media and individuals in the entertainment industry to take advantage of Brian’s situation and exploit the entire music band. As a result, it would be prudent for the band manager to Continue reading...

Music is an inseparable part of human life. Nowadays, there are different kinds of music and every person can find something to one’s liking. This essay is aimed at comparing and contrasting two concerts: the pop music concert and Baroque era concert.
The first concert I have watched was the concert of Charmaine Clamor. Frankly speaking, I was not impressed much by the concert.

The atmosphere in the club and the manner of Continue reading...

(Institution Name)
When I was twelve years old, I attended my first rock concert. It was not anything fancy or huge, but I remember being excited anyway. The venue was perfect for a rock setting; the stage was decorated in black with glimmers of red highlights all around. Out of everything that day, the atmosphere and buzz in the room as we waited for the first underground rock band to perform, is the one thing I remember the most.
That same atmosphere seemed to explode when the young boys in their black leather jackets and punk rock hairstyles walked Continue reading...

Between 1945 and 1985, the musical genre of rock and roll underwent many changes, and evolved quickly, from a stylistic perspective. It is significant to understand the genre, as it has reflected social changes, and has also influenced social changes.

In this essay I will respond to Rifkin and Marshal debate regarding “St. Mathews Passion” by J.S. Bach by explaining their positions about this piece and the way of how modern instruments influenced the sonority in the performance of Baroque Music. To sustained my arguments I will use two articles from “The Musical Times,” the first is called “Bach’s Chorus. A Preliminary Reply to Joshua Rifkin” by Marshall and the second one is named “Bach's Chorus: A Preliminary Report” by Rifkin.
Johann Sebastian Bach was one of the most important composers from the Baroque period who wrote hundreds Continue reading...

Introduction

The discovery of restriction enzymes (REs), bacterial transformation, and agarose gel electrophoresis caused the sudden increase of popularity of molecular biology in the 1970s. Restriction enzymes allow the manipulation of specific sites of an organism’s genes and are commonly used in many laboratories worldwide. Restriction enzymes cut DNA in many different ways and can produce sticky ends and blunt ends (Weaver, 2012). The most abundant type of restriction enzymes is Type II, which require magnesium cations as cofactor (Pingoud et al., 2005). Aside from their popularity is recombinant DNA technology as a “cut and paste” tool, estriction enzymes Continue reading...

Both bebop and cool jazz emerged in the middle of 20th century; bebop was formed as a reaction to the mass development of trendy jazz dance orchestras in the early 1940s and cool jazz, in its turn, originated from the bebop in the late 1940s. Although both of these jazz styles arose in the same period and cool jazz as such is considered to be a modification of bebop, there are several fundamental differences between them. These differences lie in the mood of the music, expressivity of sound, causes of styles emergence and purposes of each style.
Developed in Continue reading...

Theory

In our experiment, we study the interference of light using coherent, monochromatic light and two slits. The two slits, separated by a distance d, act as two light sources and their light waves interfere. The light passing through them is captured on another slide kept at a distance D. Here we see the interference pattern consisting of alternating bright and dark light. This effect is seen as the light waves from the two sources meet in phase (increased amplitude) and out of phase (decreased amplitude) creating the bright and dark spots. If hm is the distance of the mth Continue reading...

Long chains of molecules are called polymers. Many small molecular units (called monomers) form polymers, which depending on their arrangement are so useful in everyday life; making materials like silk, wool, or plastic bags. Most of the polymers are organic compounds; it means that they are carbon chains connected to hydrogen, Oxygen or nitrogen atoms. The electrons of these atoms are shared between two atoms that are located in the low energy bonding orbitals. This stops the polymers from making electricity and the electrons play the role of a non-conductor.
In 1997, a set of highly conductive polymers were Continue reading...

The onset of jazz music was a luxurious and monumental thing for New Orleanians. Though music was essential to life in New Orleans throughout the nineteenth century, no sound that welcomed everybody. New Orleans was a diverse place where Creole, French, Spanish, and African cultures, among others, all lived elbow to elbow, with seemingly nothing in common other than a love for music. During the 1870’s could be heard everywhere. New Orleans was filled with the folky sounds inspired by European immigrants, and the distinct beats of African and Caribbean inspired musicians. As the turn of the century Continue reading...
