The United States has always been a diverse culture since everyone (except the Native Americans) came from somewhere else. In recent decades, many people from Asia, Africa, and Latin America immigrated to this country (Alba & Nee, 2003). Now many...
DNA -- Analysis; Nucleotide sequence; Cancer genes
The first methods for sequencing DNA were developed in the mid-1970’s (Strausberg et al. 2008). The sequencing efforts were labor-intensive, slow, and costly (Metzker, 2005). As a result, researchers could sequence only a few base pairs per...

Geographic information systems; Information resources management
It is the belief of the author that the limited capabilities of GIS during the early stages (pre-1990) of GIS development resulted in GIS selection focusing on new software and hardware rather than on the best process or methodologies for...
The deconvolution of overlapped chromatographic peaks by nonlinear regression analysis with EXCEL for three mixtures was evaluated. Mixtures of n-heptane, n-octane, and n-nonane were analyzed by gas chromatography using several column temperatures...
The male sterility and histoincompatibility mutation (mshi) is an autosomal recessive mutation that produces apparently pleiotropic effects in mice. Mice homozygous for mshi manifest two distinct phenotypes. In both male and female mice, the...
