Photovoltaic Cells
Photovoltaic cells are solid state devices that convert light directly into electricity. Photovoltaic literally means “light electricity.” These devices can be commonly found providing power for small scale devices such as calculators, watches, and small radios. However, they are not limited to small scale systems. They are also used to power satellites, communications equipment, houses and many other things, especially in remote locations where a power grid is not readily available. In isolated locations

Stem Cell Dilemma
Stem Cell Dilemma There are many controversies over whether stem cells should be studied, but before I discuss that topic lets discuss what a stem cell actually is. Stem cells are cells that can basically form into any type of cell, they are found in bone marrow, embryos, fetuses, and blood from the umbilical cord. Early in development, a human embryo is made up of a hollow ball of cells called a “blastocyst”. Blastocyst cells

Embryonic Stem Cell Research
“According to the President's Council on Bioethics (P.C.B.E.), the term stem cells refers to diverse group of remarkable multipotent cells. While stem cells are relatively undifferentiated and unspecialized, they can and do give rise to the differentiated and specialized cells of the body (for example, liver cells, kidney cells, brain cells). All specialized cells arise originally from stem cells, and ultimately from a small number of embryonic cells that appear during the first few days

Barcodes for Mobile Phones
Abstract 2D barcodes were designed to carry significantly more data than its 1D counterpart. These codes are often used in industrial information tagging where high data capacity, mobility and data robustness are required. Mobile phones have evolved from just a voice communication device to what is now a mobile multimedia computing platform. Greater integration of multiple communication technologies into a single device has sparked some interesting applications of 2D barcodes in mobile phones. Digital Watermarking

Stem Cells
Research on stem cells is advancing knowledge about how an organism develops from a single cell and how healthy cells replace damaged cells in adult organisms. Stem cells are also researched because scientists want to investigate the possibility of cell-based therapies to treat diseases like Parkinson’s disease. Stem cells have two important characteristics that distinguish them from other types of cells. First, they are unspecialized cells that renew themselves for long periods through cell division.

Sickle Cell Anemia
Abstract Sickle cell anemia is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders. Normal red blood cells are round like doughnuts, and they move through small tubes in the body to deliver oxygen. Sickle red blood cells become hard, sticky and shaped like sickles used to cut wheat. When these hard and pointed red cells go through the small blood tube, they clog the flow and break apart. This can cause pain, damage, or low
