Question 1: What is your assessment of HPC’s capital budgeting process currently in place? Would you recommend any improvements? What is the correct method to value the project? It is mentioned in the case that HPC only carries out financial evaluation after it has completed technical and strategic analysis. This seems to be an incorrect way to do it because you would expect financial to be priority or at least part of the initial analysis on a project. We also see here that they chose to

forensic anthropologists ran a gel electrophoresis with DNA from Skeleton 3 and two missing persons‚ Julia Ly and Teresa Chen to help in DNA identification. This process would allow restriction enzymes to cut by a specific restriction site and run through the gel‚ where the DNA fragments would move from the negative side to the positive side of the gel due to the negative charge of the phosphate group in DNA. The smaller the DNA fragments‚ the further they move down the gel. As mentioned above‚ the DNA

Question 1 1.1 Silica gel chromatography: This is known as the stationary phase in column chromatography. Firstly‚ the tapered exit of the column is sealed using porous material. This porous material serves as support for the packing material‚ and prevents it from exiting the pipe. Thereafter‚ silica gel is compacted into the glass pipe to make the separating column. In finishing preparation of the column‚ the solvent which is used as the mobile phase is then passed through the dry column. Then the
