After reading the “‘Bubble baby’ stem cell” paper I have come to the conclusion that stem cell research is an excellent thing. The reason why I think that is if we never do research and create a cure for “Bubble baby disease” then we will continue to lose babies. But‚ if we risk a few lives of babies for research in the long run it will save millions if not billions of lives. In this essay I will give three reasons on why I think stem cell research is a great thing. “Bubble baby disease.” In my

low-pass filter is an electronic filter that passes low-frequency signals and attenuates (reduces the amplitude of) signals with frequencies higher than the cutoff frequency. It implemented using a resistor and a capacitor. The actual amount of attenuation for each frequency varies from filter to filter. A low-pass filter is the opposite of a high-pass filter. The below circuit diagram illustrates a simple ’RC’ low-pass filter. The range of frequencies passed by a low pass filter within a

The function of the passive filter is to allow a certain range of frequencies to pass‚ can be used to separate signals‚ passing those of interest‚ and also can reject noise and attenuating the unwanted frequencies. In this project‚ there are three type of passive filters that will
