856 wordsCartography is described by Webster's as the art of making maps, but how is it done? A cartographer doesn't just sit down and draw a map free hand. He has to have techniques and equipment to do the job right and accurately. Maps can be made in three different ways: cylindrical projection, conic projection, and azimuthal projection. These different ways vary the quality and the accuracy of the map. No matter how a map is made it is going to have geographic grids, which help us find and describe l...

Studying The Human Genome Project
801 wordsThe Human Genome Project is a 15 -year international research program to find the estimated 80, 000 human genes and determine the sequence of the three billion DNA building blocks that underlie all of human biology and its diversity. The purpose of The Human Genome Project will characterize the genomes of human and selected model organisms through complete mapping and sequencing of their DNA. It will also develop technologies for genomic analysis and examine the ethical, legal, and social implic...

Blind Spot Enlargement In Non Athletes
1,203 words... n of measurement. The blind spot mapping technique was described in Hall, 2003. It may be noted that ophthalmologists have a more precise technique for blind spot mapping, but that technique requires a completed degree in ophthalmology and requires very expensive equipment. This technology was not available for purposes of this study. The technique used was simplistic in design, yet accurate enough to obtain meaningful results. Test subjects for this study were recruited from senior members ...

Identical Twins Human Cloning
690 wordsCloning A Step in The Right Direction It all began with the experimentation of Dolly the first genetically cloned animal. Since this scientific breakthrough, President Clinton, realizing the effects this would have on the human race as a whole, banned the cloning of humans for five years. However, some scientists have declared this ban as a futile approach towards cloning and that perhaps the ban levied by the former president is postponing valuable scientific research. But first, to begin with,...

Even with advance technology that allows scientists to map the genome sequence of a human being, we have failed to find a cure the common cold.

At the same time, in the United States most scientists receive no more than a few hours training in ethics, most physicians take no training in genetics, and it was revealed in 1997 that less than 16 % of those who r...

Although undoubtedly vague this definition does convey the flexibility of the quartier concept. A common-thread, in this sense, could refer to any uniting characteristic a population may exhibit, the interrelated f...
