...ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to detect the rates of hyphal tip growth and nuclei position of N. crassa in influence of drug medium, Taxol. The results of the experiments show that the rate of hyphal tip growth and nuclei position are much lower in drug medium than in the control. Taxol have different effect on growth of tip and distance travelled by nuclei. Moreover, the rate at which the nuclei displace and growth of the tips are dependent on the medium and not on each other. Thus, the results conclude that drug effected fungus affects the tip growth rate and nuclei displacement. INTRODUCTION The purpose of the experiment is to study the hyphal tip growth, and to observe the effects of a drug on the tip growth and the nuclei position of a fungal hyphae. The fungus used in the study is Neurospora crassa, a common red bread mold of Europe and America and was originally obtained from sugar-cane bagasse near New Orleans (Shear and Dodge 1927). It is a common model organism in biology, genetics, cell biology labs, and in research. Because it is quickly reproducing, is easy to culture and can survive on minimal media. Moreover, microtubules and actin are cytoskeletal filaments responsible for structural support for fungus tip, and help in replication of the cell. Actin filament helps tip to grow by polymerizing, so actin subunit comes together form branch-like structure at the tip is called hyphae (Rosenblum and Shivers 2000). The drug was used in this experiment...

...rule: 10 slides, 20 minutes and a minimum 30-point font. Follow these additional tips to create a winning deck: 1. Your first slide is your title slide, which provides the name of the business, your name, title and contact information, plus a slogan if you have one. During the presentation, you can read the slide and add in a sentence that describes what it is you do. 2. The next slide should introduce a problem that persists and is relatable to your target market. Statistics can help you support your comments, but cite only a couple at best. You want the audience to relate to the problem or at least understand how it affects others. 3. The third slide should get to your solution. Briefly describe in simple terms how your business has figured out how to alleviate the problem you mentioned in slide 2. Make sure the audience understands that you have a unique approach. You might also add a few words to support your overall value proposition. 4. Next, you want to explain how you'll make money. What are your revenue sources? Who are your customers? What is your pricing structure? Then talk briefly about how you expect to profit. 5. Now present a little more detail on your operating plan. How does it all work? Self -service? Kiosks? Personal service? From buying the goods to marketing them to sales and shipping, give your audience a short summary of how it all works. Include a little technology—remember, “a little!” This is where you may need a second, visual slide to show how it...

Is that it? Certainly not. In the world of digital photography, you can use a wide variety of techniques to “bring out” the best picture possible from the shot you’ve taken. You might be wondering, “How is that possible?” Well, in order to explain that, we should provide some background on how cameras differ from our own brains. The human brain can process more color range at any given instant than a computer monitor or a digital print can display. Our eyes don’t actually see more range than film or digital sensors; rather, our brain instructs our eyes to composite different areas of the image into a single whole. The brain does this “multiple-exposure” blending so quickly that we think we are looking at only one image. The camera, on the other hand, doesn’t have our brain inside. It records only one instant in time, which is why we are often so disappointed when we look at a base picture. (“That’s not how I remember the color and the details!”) And it gets worse: cameras are notorious for losing all the little details in the highlights and shadows of a shot. Thankfully, we can use the camera and the computer to minimize these deficiencies, and bring out a wider range of brightness and...

How they do it Bravo would start creating on-air TV promotions telling viewers how to play the Bravo-enhanced features of Foursquare. Bravo will begin offering Foursquare players “badges” and special prizes when viewers visit more than 500 Bravo locations. The locations will be picked by Bravo to correspond with select Bravo shows including “The Real Housewives,” “The Millionaire Matchmaker,” “Top Chef,” “Kell on Earth,” “Top Chef Masters” and “Shear Genius.” Zagat deal is interesting in that it goes beyond simply offering food and restaurant recommendations.
