My Weekly Reading Progress Report

there is now ample DNA to coat gold particles that are shot into the seed of plant cells
Antibiotic resistance is an indicator that the bacteria has incorporated the desired trait.
can then be grown with the new desired trait as part of its genom
A bacteria called Agrobacterium tumafaciens then incorporates this DNA and creates copies of itself
inserted into a circular piece of DNA called a plasmid
the DNA sequence for the desired trait must be identified, isolated, and cut from its original source
then cured by exposure to heat and light, and the model solidifies
the excess resin is drained from the model
the laser cures the second layer of the model on top of the first layer
the elevator lowers the platform vertically by a small amount
resin’s adhesive properties
the laser moves horizontally across the x-axis and y-axis
which means that it will solidify when a laser hits the surface of the resin
A vat is filled with photocurable resin
stereolithography apparatus
After the model has been designed, a computer is connected to an SLA
solidified by the laser will fall out of place
be oriented to minimize unsupported surfaces
first develop a model on a CAD system
EEG (electroencephalography)
The function of an EEG is to monitor and record electrical activity in the brain
poor sleep patterns are linked to increased chance of disease
disposes of it through lymphatic ducts
opening the membrane of the glial cells
by flushing the metabolic waste out of the brain cells with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
metabolic byproduct
beta amyloid proteins
If this waste is not disposed of, it can become pathogenic
toxic metabolic waste
The brain creates energy through the metabolic process
non-neuronal cells
neurons, and glia
its shorter wavelengths are more directional than longer wavelengths
is limited by line-of-sight
makes it difficult for rural areas
infrastructure development
low population density
located in buildings and on street lamps
macrocells”, which have a wide area of coverage
5G signal is broadcast by small cells
speed, measured as peak data rate
in one month, there is enough data flowing through the 5G network to fill over 1 million 1TB hard drives
amounting to an estimated 50 Exabytes per month in 2021
enables ultra-reliable applications of network technology
control of heavy machinery
remote surgery
which means it take 10 ms for one device to send data to another
enabling much faster communication between devices
Latency is the response time between two devices
a law is a description of observable phenomena
a theory is an explanation based on extensive evidence
It’s applicability is constantly tested
a theory is not indisputable
result of consensus among scientists
a theory has been testes and supported by many experiments in various situations
difference
the hypothesis may turn into a theory
hypothesis seems incontrovertible
after repeated testing
results support the hypothesis
go back and revise
either support or not support
exclude any subjective bias
allow the scientist to make objective conclusions
After the hypothesis has been formulated
able to be tested and measured reliably
based on those facts
test the hypothesis in an experiment
must meet a high standard of rigor
formulate a hypothesis
Facts are stated observations
gathers all observable facts
formulates a question they would like to investigate
