Digital image analysis is a method of extraction of useful information from digital images by using various digital image processing techniques. A digital image is a two-dimensional matrix that consists of great number of smallest addressable elements – pixels. Each pixel has its own digital characteristics, such as address and color representation. Digital image characteristics have two main measures: spatial resolution that is focused on capturing details and tonal resolution that is used to measure color, dynamic range and bit-depth. Higher tonal, spatial, and color values mean larger sizes of digital image file. (Peterson, 2005, pp. 1-2) The appropriate method ...

(Doctoral students must include the following on the title page instead: The essential task of leaders is to perfect how the things work in the organization. Changing the way “work works” is the essential foundation of leadership, according to Peter Cook (Cook, 2009). Therefore, the leader is the person who takes the organization to the next stage of development and improves processes to make them more effective and functional.

Introduction:

Nanobiotechnology serves as an imperative technique in the development of clean, nontoxic, and eco-friendly procedures for the synthesis and congregation of metal NPs having the intrinsic ability to reduce metals by specific metabolic pathways. Silver nanoparticles are particularly interesting nanoscale systems due to the ease with which they can be synthesised and modified chemically. Synthesis of silver nanoparticles has been widely researched due to their interesting size and shape-dependent properties [26]. These novel properties can be tailored by controlling their size, shape, composition, structure and crystallinity. Due to their size features and advantages over available anti-microbial properties, chemical imaging ...

AMINAL’s motto states that all efforts to categorize the genre they play in are futile and that it is “their sworn duty” to melt their audience’s face. Indeed, the “molten rock”, as they call themselves can be used to define the style of the band and, thus, its appeal. The somewhat careless attitude towards what and how they play does not make the band appear uninteresting to the public; it is the part of the style they consciously use to attract new audience. In crude terms, people enjoy seeing a bunch of regular-looking dudes play cool music ...

Iridium organometallic complexes

Introduction Iridium organometallic complexes are applied as catalysts, light-emitting diodes, dye-sensitized solar cells, and luminescent agents for cells imaging.1 Due to the wide application area, the scientists perform research on preparation, characterization and physical and chemical properties of iridium organometallic complexes.

The oxidation state in complex compound refers to the charge of the metal, which it would have in a simple ionic compound. The configuration of d-orbitals (dn) indicates the number of valence electrons in free metal of the same oxidation state. The iridium electronic configuration is [Xe] 4f145d76s2, yet the s-electrons transfer to d-orbital to form 5d9. The ...

1. a. The pKa value of an amino acid is an indication of how strong or weak an amino acid is, based on the said acid’s dissociation constant. An amino acid that has a high pKa value is weaker than on that has a low pka value. Given that an acid’s dissociation constant is Ka, the pKa value is given by the formula: pKa = -log10Ka pH = pKa + log ([A-]/[HA]),It follows that for Cys12, 7.4= 7.2 + log([Cys-]/[HCys]) 7.4-7.2 = log([Cys-]/[HCys]) 0.2 = log([Cys-]/[HCys]) 100.2= Cys-/HCys Therefore, Cys-/HCys = 10-4Similarly, ...

INTRODUTION

Catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) is an enzyme that plays a significant role in the metabolism of dopamine (DA) and amounts to approximately 60% or more of DA breakdown in the frontal cortex . The gene expressing the COMT enzyme could affect cognition and functioning of the brain via its action on dopaminergic function. A polymorphic variation occurs in the coding area of the COMT gene (a Guanine to Adenine replacement), changing the amino acid from valine (Val) to methionine (Met) at the codon position 158 (Val158Met) and consequently influencing the thermal tolerance and stability of the enzyme. Allelic discrepancies in enzyme ...

Article Review on Polytene Chromosomes and Structural Abnormalities

Background The interphase stage during cell division condenses the genetic material i.e. DNA into chromosomes and in salivary glands of Drosophila melanogaster, polytene chromosomes appear characteristically that are a result of repeated replication cycles but no disjunction. They have dark bands alternating with light interbands. The hypothesis tested in the research work performed by Zhimulev et al in 2014 was that the interbands incorporates transcripton initiation sites i.e. promoter binding areas that extend to coding areas in band regions. Using the modENCODE protein profiling data, DamID genome mapping has earlier classified various chromatin states. The current study performed cytological ...

The increasing number of radio broadcasting stations has also contributed to the shift from lower operating frequencies to higher frequencies. Increasing the bandwidth is done to manage increased high traffic in the urban areas. The high frequencies generally require a higher number of towers. As such, the exposure to electromagnetic radiation in v urban cities increases. Mostly, the visual impact of the towers on ...

It has always been innate for people to group themselves together based on a certain attribute, such as life philosophy, religion, lifestyle and the like. Once a group has been formed, the group members itself will establish characteristics that will make them identifiable from the popular crowd, a quality that will make them ‘stand out’, so to speak. The members will then conform their personality, self-image and eventually, identity in order to fit in with these perceived defining qualities. This is the process in which as subculture is formed. With this in mind, a subculture can be defined as ...
