Gattaca is a very interesting film that sheds light on the possible future of humanity‚ when it comes to genetic manipulation. The entire plot of the film revolves around a society that is primarily centered on the need for superior genes. Every child in the film‚ apart from the protagonist‚ Vincent Freeman‚ is born in the eugenics program. This program is purposely structured to manipulate the genetic composition of children to guarantee that they only inherit a specific set of desirable traits from

Engineering Lettering Lettering is an essential element in both traditional drawing and CAD drawing. Graphic communication is often not enough to completely describe an object. Lettered text is often necessary to provide detailed specifications about the drawn object. And there are a number of formal rules that apply to the placement of lettering. Commercial Gothic‚ also called sans-serif Gothic‚ is the lettering style of most interest to engineers. It is plain and legible. While admittedly

An appreciation of the assumptions underlying software engineering can lead to a better understanding of the applicability of structure and quality of work produced. Software plays an important role in business decision-making‚ and because of its growing importance‚ assumptions should not be excluded. Its seems

resistance to herbicides or improved nutritional content. The enhancement of desired traits has traditionally been undertaken through breeding‚ but conventional plant breeding methods can be very time consuming and are often not very precise. Genetic engineering‚ on the other hand‚ can create plants with the exact desired trait very rapidly and with great accuracy. For example‚ plant geneticists can isolate a gene responsible for drought tolerance and insert that gene into a different plant. The new

REPAIRS‚ REHABILITATION AND RETRO-FITTING | Significance of Ferrocement repairs | After‚ we in India‚ started manufacture of concrete in years 1930’s‚ the negative aspect of concrete started showing after sometime as below:- | - Deterioration due to poor workmanship‚ particularly high water content and corrosion of reinforcement and R.C.C. Technology being new. | - Leakages in concrete due to rain water as well as in water retaining structures | This menace become conspicuous after construction
