An improved protocol is described for using lambda exonuclease to directly sequence PCR products. It is important not to execute PCR cycles beyond the plateau of amplification. The asymmetric PCR and double-stranded DNA sequencing by a snap-cooling procedure were also performed using the same DNA samples and primers. The improved method was the most reliable and produced the best results.

Computational neurostimulation aims to develop mathematical constructs that link the application of neuromodulation with changes in behavior and cognition. This process is critical but daunting for technical challenges and scientific unknowns. The overarching goal of this review is to address how this complex task can be made tractable. We describe a framework of sequential modeling steps to ac...

Abstract: Guinier-Preston (GP) zone formation and precipitation behavior of T1 (Al2CuLi) phase during the ageingof an Al-Cu-Li-Zr alloy was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique and electrical resistancemeasurement of the samples. Results show that endothermic effects in the thermograms of the alloy between 180°Cand 240°C can be related to the enthalpy of GPzones dissolut...

In this study chemical method of dissolution-Precipitation was applied to produce amorphous silica nanoparticles from rice straw ash (RSA), the waste material of rice cultivation. The morphology, particle size, structure and area of specific surface of synthesized amorphous silica nanoparticles were evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and BET...
