KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

Sign of Focus or Epicenter.. Hello Friends, welcome to my blog once again. Today I'll be talking about one of the most catastrophic calamities which world faces now-and-then i.e. Earthquakes. Friends many times when a news of an earthquake flashes on the TVs you must have wondered.. - How do these earthquakes occur and how can they be detected? - Why do they occur? - What are the possibilities that we can prevent it or mitigate its effects? - What is the science behind it? ETC.. So people, I will clear all these doubts in my todays article… Introduction.. Major earthquake zones.. An Earthquake is a trembling, shaking and vibrations of ground caused by passage of energy in the form of waves via breaking of rocks. The most immediate cause of most of the earthquakes is 'Faulting'(breaking and movement of rocks). The actual location of or zone below the earth surface where faulting occurs is known as 'Focus of an earthquake'. This focus lies below the surface bu...

Above is the image of the temperature and pressure level in main States of Matter found today.. Friends you must have learned in schools the 3 states of matter solid liquid and gases. Then as we grew up and took up for higher classes we got to know about more states of matters (like Plasma-Bose Einstein condensate-Quantum etc),but its obvious many of you must be knowing it from highschool days..atleast i was not such a genius boy... For more information on States of Matter you can visit this wikipedia link below..it can give you the basics of all the states of matter found yet...  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_of_matter Friends do you know that there are about 15 to 20 states of matter(atleast of which i know) that exisit today. Even the basics one ie; the solid liquid and gas have their sub catagories..soilds have 4 sub catagories and liquids have 2.. A new partical was discovered recently which works on an Electrostatic Coulomb Force called as 'EXCITONIUM...

UK became the first country to have officially approved procedures to create “three-parent” babies. What exactly is the "three parent child"? 1-Mitochondrial Replacement therapy (MRT) is used to replace mother’s faulty Mitochondrial DNA with healthy Mitochondria from a donor woman during IVF process, thus the name- “three-parent” baby.(Mitochondria is a cell organel found inside a living cell..it is the power house of cell as it produces ATP out of the food we consume).. 2-The donor’s mitochondria contribute just 37 genes to the child, compared with more than 20,000 from the parents. That is a negligible amount and far less than one would gain from a blood transfusion or organ transplant. 3-No other characteristics in terms of intelligence, eye colour, hair colour, height etc. are changed. About Mitochondrial Disease... 1-The mitochondria are organelles inside cells that are involved in releasing energy by producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the key energy c...

U.S Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) approved a 'Yescarta therapy' to treat adults with certain types of large B-Cell lymphoma (blood cancer).Yescarta uses CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) Tcell therapy for treatment. About Yescarta therapy 1- It is a type of gene therapy that turns cells in the patient’s body into a “living drug” that targets and kills cancer cells. 2- It has been given Orphan Drug Designation, under which it will be provided with financial incentives to encourage the development of drugs. Living drugs... Genetically modified cells are that are infused back into patients in CAR T-cell therapy, continue multiplying to fight disease for months or years. That’s why these immunotherapy treatments are called “living drugs.” Orphan Drug... A biological product or medicine that is intended to treat diseases so rare that sponsors are reluctant to develop them under usual marketing conditions. According to WHO, disease having fewer than 100 patients pe...
