Can anyone help me understand it? I am not able to understand why +/- signs are written above the gel profile? And can anyone help me with the hint to the solution?

A new lightweight, high-powered wheelchair that is powered by high-pressurized air instead of batteries or electronics is offering users new recreational opportunities.
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh have created the PneuChair, a pneumatic wheelchair that forgoes the traditional heavy battery energy source for high-pressured air. It runs on 4,500 psi. This make it both significantly lighter than other power chairs and also waterproof, enabling users to take the PneuChair to lakes, beaches and water parks.

You said it
This reminds me of that biotechnology that’s being developed that can be injected straight into a person’s mind, but instead of using it for like, you know, education, pleasure, medicine, etc., they’re planning on using it to torture convicts, making them believe they’ve served a 1000 year sentence.
Made these Biochemistry & Metabolism notes from last semester for my final exam :) It was my first time taking a 5 credit hour subject. Honestly, there were tons of stuffs + terms to memorize, especially the metabolic pathways. The nucleotide biosynthesis topic was really tough for me b/c I’ve never learn it before + I also had to memorize the diseases + syndromes along with how they affect the associated pathways. Well, I’m just glad that I got a GPA 4.0 for my Biochemistry & Metabolism! Hard work does pay off :)
Here are some pictures that I’ve taken from my past laboratory experiments during the whole foundation year + my first year of BSc (Hons) Biotechnology in university! Had some pictures that are from failed / unsuccessful experiments (ㆀ˘・з・˘)

Much of my research deals with the ways in which bodies are disciplined and how they go about resisting that discipline. In this piece, adapted from one of the answers to my PhD preliminary exams written and defended two months ago, I “name the disciplinary strategies that are used to control bodies and discuss the ways that bodies resist those strategies.” Additionally, I address how strategies of embodied control and resistance have changed over time, and how identifying and existing as a cyborg and/or an artificial intelligence can be understood as a strategy of control, resistance, or both.
In Jan Golinski’s Making Natural Knowledge, he spends some time discussing the different understandings of the word “discipline” and the role their transformations have played in the definition and transmission of knowledge as both artifacts and culture. In particular, he uses the space in section three of chapter two to discuss the role Foucault has played in historical understandings of knowledge, categorization, and disciplinarity. Using Foucault’s work in Discipline and Punish, we can draw an explicit connection between the various meanings “discipline” and ways that bodies are individually, culturally, and socially conditioned to fit particular modes of behavior, and the specific ways marginalized peoples are disciplined, relating to their various embodiments.
This will demonstrate how modes of observation and surveillance lead to certain types of embodiments being deemed “illegal” or otherwise unacceptable and thus further believed to be in need of methodologies of entrainment, correction, or reform in the form of psychological and physical torture, carceral punishment, and other means of institutionalization.[(Locust, “Master and Servant (Depeche Mode Cover)”]

i’m not sure if you’ve come across this or not, but the artist eduardo kac created a piece called ‘natural history of the enigma’ in wich he genetically engineered the flower to become a hybird of himself and his own dna - the red veins in the petals hold his dna. really interesting :) see eduardokac.org
Thanks! That doesn’t appear to be the correct website though. Readers, go here if you’d like to learn more about this:
