Pharmacogenomics 1.Introduction: Genomics: The study of genes and their function. Genomics aims to understand the structure of the genome, including the mapping genes and sequencing the DNA. Genomics examines the molecular mechanisms and the interplay of genetic and environmental factors in disease. It is used to determine the entire DNA sequence of an organisms and a fine scale genetic mapping. The field also includes study of intra genomic phenomena such as Hetrosis, Epistasis

Introductions BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Capital market is absolutely a vital consider for the proper functioning of capitalistic economy, since they serve the channel funds from savers to borrowers. The securities market allows sound listed companies to raise additional capital quickly and cheaply, as they enjoy reputation. A vibrant and liquid securities market encourages increase in savings by offering attractive and rewarding securities in terms of higher return, lower risk and easy option for

At similar concentrations of chlorine and bromine, bromine incorporation into THMs and HAAs is preferred over chlorine incorporation. This is because HOBr is 20 times stronger oxidant than HOCl so reacts faster with NOM shifting the distribution of THMs and HAAs to more brominated species. Ratio of applied chlorine to bromine plays an important role in the speciation of THMs and HAAs (Uyak & Toroz, 2007). Increase in bromide ion concentration

seen the emergence of an endeavor called tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in which scientists, engineers, and physicians apply tools from a variety of fields to construct biological substitutes that can mimic tissues for diagnostic and research purposes and can replace (or help regenerate) diseased and injured tissues. A significant portion of this effort has been translated to actual therapies, especially in the areas of skin replacement and, to a lesser extent, cartilage repair. A good

endogenous bone is available only in limited quantities. In case of exogeneous bone implants, the major disadvantage is that they may be rejected by human body, disease may be transmitted together with the implant, and also the clinical performance of exogenous bone is considerably inferior to fresh endogenous graft material. For these reasons there is growing need for fabrication of artificial hard tissue replacement implants. Research into novel materials for biomedical applications is ever increasing

vehicle for visualization. In addition, RP models can be used for testing, such as when an airfoil shape is put into a wind tunnel. RP models can be used to create male models for tooling, such as silicone rubber molds and investment casts. In some cases, the RP part can be the final part, but typically the RP material is not strong or accurate enough. When the RP material is suitable, highly convoluted shapes (including parts nested within parts) can be produced because of the nature of RP. Fig
