Biochemists are scientists trained in biochemistry. Typical biochemists study chemical processes and chemical transformations in living organisms‚ other biochemists study DNAs‚ proteins and cell parts. The word "biochemist" is a portmanteau of "biological chemist". Biochemists also research how certain chemical reactions happen in cells and tissues and observe and record the effects of products as in food additives and medicines. The main function of a biochemist is to focus on improving the qualities

both strains ranging from 2 to 68.8% (Table 3 and 4). These results are consistent with Mossini et al[19]. who showed the significant reduction of Penicillium verrucosum and Penicillium brevicompactum using neem leaf extract and neem oil. The quantification of citrinin was also done by HPLC by comparing the retention times of the culture extracts with that of standrad sample of citrinin. HPLC elution profiles from the broth of P. notatum and A. niger isolates from all the tested plant extracts showed

Isolation of exosomes from human serum The initial volume of serum for the experiments was 4 mL per sample. The samples were diluted with an equal volume of PBS (AppliChem‚ St. Louis‚ MO) to decrease the viscosity. The diluted serum samples were centrifuged at 2‚000×g for 10 min and 10‚000×g for 30 min at 4 °C to remove dead cells and cell debris. The supernatant was transferred into Ultra-ClearTM tubes (Beckman Coulter‚ Indianapolis‚ IN) and centrifuged at 100‚000×g using a Beckman Optima XL-70

THE INSIDER/OUTSIDE DEBATE IN RELIGION One of the major debate in religious studies is the believers/observers or insiders/outsiders position. The debate is about how the individual position themselves in the study. Often the discussion is put into term of “emic” and “etic”.

The insider’s approach is the observer being involved in the activities

Introduction Wrong or inaccurate measurements can lead to wrong decisions‚ which can have serious consequences‚ costing money and even lives. The human and financial consequences of wrong decisions based on poor measurement being taken in matters as important as environmental change and pollution are almost incalculable. It is important therefore to have reliable and accurate measurements which are agreed and accepted by the relevant authorities worldwide. Metrologists are therefore continuously

His descriptions of all his types of suicide are not caused by simple despair and depression; his quantification leads to more tangibility. His significant findings were in-depth descriptions and explanations of each type of suicide. He thoroughly analyzed each type through statistical interpretation.
