Essential oils are complex mixtures of many components, about 20-60 can be present at different concentrations depending on the oil.According to Bakkali et al(2008) they are characterized by components of the highest concentrations, there are usually 2 or 3 main components in each oil compared to some components in trace amounts. Major components of the […]

Genetic engineering, an alternative approach to enhance nutritional values by transgenic has been considered to be the potential tool for the sustainable and an efficient strategy for increasing the nutritional quality traits in target area of plants (Lucca et al. 2001; Zimmermann and Hurrell 2002; Holm et al. 2002). Genetic engineering flavors transferring of desired […]
A stem cell is an undifferentiated cell found in the developing embryos of all multicellular organisms. They have the ability to turn into any type of cell. Stem cells can also be found in adults but do not have the same versatility that embryotic stem cells have. Stem cells mostly remain in bone marrow in […]
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, referred to as ‘Indigenous Australians’, experience significantly poorer health outcomes than non-Indigenous Australians. This is particularly true for Indigenous women. The difference in life expectancy between Indigenous and non-Indigenous women is some 9.5 years, and Indigenous mothers are three times as likely as non-Indigenous mothers to die during childbirth […]

Managing a MNC requires a management of differences with local distinctiveness increasingly positioned as a point for competitive differentiation (Hartmann, Feisel and Schober, 2010). The pressure for global […]
For each reaction trial, the amount of oxygen produced, final temperature of solution, final volume of solution, and total reaction time were recorded. The amount of oxygen produced was found by observing the amount of water displaced in the 100 mL graduated cylinder that was in the pneumatic trough. The final temperature of the solution […]
Transformation is the process by which bacteria take up genes from its surrounding environment. Scientists take advantage of this as a way to introduce foreign genes into a bacterial cell in order to amplify that specific gene. They isolate those bacteria (or select them) by selectively destroying those bacteria that did not take up the […]
Goh JiaYeen 1.0 Introduction Cereals, belonging to the Gramineae or the grass family, are the basic carbohydrates sources for the human population (Adams & Moss, 2008; Swanson, 2011).
