Now science fact rather than science fiction, bionics technology changes lives. What is Bionics? Bionics is the blend of nature, technology, and engineering. How the term was created is disputed; some believing it comes from the Greek word ‘bion’ and the suffix ‘ic’ to mean ‘like life’. Others believe it stems from the com...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/20073.aspxFri, 19 Dec 2008 23:49:41 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:20073ginkgo100How should statistical data be compared? Learn how statistics should be presented for maximum clarity. Comparative statistics present myriad opportunities for confusion. Data sets should consist of the same kind of values because comparing dissimilar values results in nonsense. Not all values provide equally useful information; mortality rates ...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/20072.aspxFri, 19 Dec 2008 23:49:28 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:20072ginkgo100What kind of statistics are helpful and what kind are confusing? Learn the difference between relative and absolute risk and between conditional probabilities and natural frequencies. Part 2 of 3. Several specific uses of statistics are particularly misleading. These include reporting relative risk instead of absolute risk and conditional proba...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/20071.aspxFri, 19 Dec 2008 23:49:17 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:20071ginkgo100What is a "statistically significant" result? Learn the basics of how statistics are used to analyze the results of research studies. Part 1 of 3. When researchers conduct a study into a clinical topic such as a screening test or disease treatment, the raw experimental results are interpreted using statistical analysis. Statistics is th...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/7289.aspxTue, 16 Sep 2008 16:03:36 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:7289habarizasafariTissue engineering has the potential to change the way we deal with disease, injuries and old age. Growing new living tissue to replace diseased and damaged tissue could be commonplace in the future. Scientists are excited about the emerging field of tissue engineering. Scientific advances have made tissue engineering a viable research field in the...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/4831.aspxThu, 11 Sep 2008 17:42:48 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:4831ginkgo100Do any scientists believe that humans evolved from apes? The answer may surprise you. In the creation vs. evolution debate, you will not find a single scientist who believes in ape to human evolution. This fact may seem startling to many observers who are curious about human origins. The truth is that both sides agree on this point -- but they ...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/4522.aspxFri, 15 Aug 2008 07:00:46 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:4522ginkgo100In the creation vs. evolution debate, this is a big question. To understand the answer, it is important first to understand what the term "theory" means in science. Evolutionary biologists say that evolution is both a fact and a theory. What is a theory? In the creation vs. evolution debate, proponents of Biblical Creationism often asse...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/3337.aspxTue, 29 Jul 2008 17:56:23 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:3337raj.webdezinerBioinformatics is emerging in importance among scientists and researchers that will be able to study the protein sequences to compare different species. In order to fully understand the importance of bioinformatics, one needs to understand the concepts behind this new scientific field. When it comes to applying rationale to the understanding of bio...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/1823.aspxThu, 26 Jun 2008 13:23:52 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:1823n.bahl80DNA, the key to all organisms, resides in polymers and monomers, and its backbone is a form of SUGAR ! DNA is a deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA is a nucleic acid that contains genetic instructions. This is used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms. The main role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information. Ch...
