I've always wondered about this. Bimolecular fluorescence complementation allows the incorporation of fragments of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) at the N and C-terminus of separate monomers. If the monomers dimerize, the process allows the GFP fragments to come together and form a...

Thank you so much for your enlightenment and suggestions guys, I think I can finally come to a decision today and get back to the graduate office on Monday (last day for accepting the offer). And sorry for causing you confusions Moonbear, I guess I was meant to say that cancer biology was my...

URGENT Graduate school help Hi guys, I've been getting a few offers from professors at University of Calgary and Manitoba (both in Canada), and I'm unsure which one I should accept. I have a strong interest in cancer pathology, unfortunately, most of the profs involved in this area do not...

Thanks for sharing your experience DrGross, I'll be visiting a few more chiropractors to get a better idea of their ethics and practice. I really had no idea chiropractors get such harsh criticisms from the science community, I used to think that it's more like a physiotherapist type of job...

I see, thanks you very much for the information wildman, it's good to hear that your friend can earn a lot with a CS degree (I never had a brain for computer programming), I'll need to reconsider the chiropractor career. I heard similar criticisms on this profession, even chiropractors...

Do you mind telling me whether your friend's workplace is in a crowded city or in a small town, and whether he/she is working for herself or working under someone else? One of the articles mentioned that the number of patients a chiropractor could get depend heavily on location and similar...

I graduated just recently with a major in molecular biology, however, I'm not too sure what I should be doing next. Graduate school was my primary choice as a M.Sc. would allow me to find a job more easily in other nations other than Canada and US. I understand that in North America, entry level...

Thanks HallsofIvy, I attempted to solve using the corrected equation, but I still can't seem to get the right answer. I believe k is a constant in this formula, but how do I determine it? At time 0, the whole 1/2(kt^2) is equal to 0, am I supposed to use the distance at a different time (eg. t =...

Thanks for your correction Nate. I'm still a bit confused though, if velocity at time 0 = 19.4, and that at time 6 is 0, wouldn't C always equal to 0?

Please elaborate on genetic structure, are you talking about karyotypes, DNA structures, etc?

Without immunity, any bacterium that's harmless to a healthy person could potentially kill the immuno-compromised individual. If temporarily compromised, staying in a bubble could provide protection, but is not guaranteed. I believe most people who had leukemia or myeloma and had undergone...

Homework Statement A car going 70km/h comes to a stop in 6 seconds, assume that the deceleration is constant, find the distance traveled using a graph; find the distance traveled using antiderivatives. The Attempt at a Solution If the deceleration is constant, I would assume that the...

Homework Statement A train is traveling from left to right along a long straight horizontal track at 0.9km/min. A movie camera 1km away from the train is focused on the train. a) How fast is the distance between the camera and the train changing when the train is 2km from the camera? b)...

I agree with Moonbear. If there are factors affecting how a couple's facial feature would look, they are more or less associated with environmental influences or activities the two people share in common.

What is the frequency most cellphones operate under? Our home phones are reaching 6.0Ghz, with 5.8Ghz and 2.4Ghz being the most common... if the cellphone frequency is anywhere near this, a conjunction usage between home and mobile phones could potentially increase the risk of developing tumors...
