A Butterfly and Biotechnology

Hi, I was thinking deeply, that how to spend my semester holidays. Got an idea of doing a mini project in my department. Let me explain you how to start with a project or how i did start. Here we go... Step 1: Choose or find out your area of interest. I mean the subject your interested or your favourite subject. You may wonder, how do i know, I hate all the subjects! But, don't worry.  Choose the subject you feel more easy than others. Step 2: Read research papers online related to your area of interest. Just google and read random stuffs, you will get an idea. There are many research papers available online ( You can try online magazines for latest research trends) Step 3: While you were reading, something might have interested you. Read much about that topic. Try to think differently, and frame your own project. Note:  The above steps would suit perfect if you are a Biotechnology student. If you find it difficult to start a brand new project, just try to con...

Hi, My semester exams are over :) :) My first three exams were good. But, the last three.. I don't feel that they were good  :( :( My  Microbio exam  and  BIBT  exams were good. After that even my unit operations paper was good. But, this mathematics... :( :( Maths is my weakness :( :( I make lots of careless mistakes :( In maths this time I had Probability and statistics, mm.. I'm worried a lot about the results. Then other papers were, Chemical and bio thermodynamics ; Instrumental methods of analysis. Let's have a glance at the questions which I found different or can say difficult. Topic: Instrumental Methods of Analysis: Question 1: What information can be obtained by DTA that cannot be obtained by TGA? Know the basics about DTA and TGA : Answer is : DTA gives information  such as Glass transition temperature, crystallization, sublimation which can't be obtained from TGA curve. Question2: Advantages of Raman Spec...

DTA : Differential Thermal Analysis: In this technique, Sample (material of our interest) and a reference material (must be inert) are supplied with heat. When there is a thermal transition (i.e., a physical or a chemical change that causes emission or absoption of heat) in the sample, thermal energy is added to either the sample or the reference to maintain both reference and sample at same temperature. This change of temperature is plotted against the programmed temperature. This can give details such as - Whether the transition is exothermic or endothermic. We can get details such as Glass transition temperature, crystallization, sublimation from the DTA curve. TGA - Thermo Gravimetric Analysis: In TGA, the sample is heated under controlled conditions and the loss of weight by the sample is measured. A TGA curve is plotted with weight in Y- axis and temperature in X-axis. It is generally used to determine the characteristics, strength of materials and their deg...

Hi, If you wanna read some useful Biotech stuff scroll down and read questions in this post. Else, start reading from the beginning. My exams are going in a "okay" manner! After my  Microbio exam , I started playing with out preparing for the next exam! I started sitting like a ghost nowadays! Yes, I play all day, and at the end of the day I start reading for my exam by 6 or 7p.m. And, before the day of my Basic Industrial Biotechnology exam, I played Cards :P :D , but, I never win the game :( :( Started studying by 6p.m had dinner in between and studied non stop till the next day 5a.m! I didn't sleep at all. I know, this is not good for health, I need a good sleep before exam. But... I don't wanna miss the fun at home during the day time by sitting alone and studying. My little brother and  friends, they all are enjoying their school summer holidays. They are making fun and much noise during day, then, how come I can read? I'l take my book, pen, notes a...

Hi, Wish you good time. My Semester exams started. Today I wrote my favorite paper "microbiology". The question was easy. But, the answers were only little tough :P Anyways, I managed to do well. :) There in the question paper, I had a wonderful question! I started thinking, "cha, we had never thought like this..!" The question was very simple, but, I didn't know the answer. Even now I'm not sure about the answer. I had been using microscopes, mostly optical - bright field microscopes over a past few years, may be from my 11 th class I can say. I had read about Dark field microscope too. But, I had never thought of converting a bright field microscope to a dark field one! But, this question paper setters, really they are great. I felt  like saying, "what an idea sir ji", on seeing the question. :P :P :D The question was, "can you convert a bright field microscope to a dark field microscope? If so how?" I don't kno...

Hello! Wish you good time with loads of smile :) :) This is a personal post. I can say a page of my diary. You can find my way of learning, my preparations for my semester exam. I'm in the end of my study holidays! The pleasant days, lazy days. My exams were scheduled initially on 8th may, I started studying on 4th may. I started studying "Unit Operations - Mixing and Agitation" at a speed of about 10,000 rpm :P But, this university people, I think they were burning at their stomach, seeing me studying. Yes, they postponed the exam to 15th may. Then, who will study after that? I closed the book, started writing story :) :) Now, the story is going good, but my studies? :( :( very worst :(  Only finished a unit in Unit operations :( After that didn't touch the books at all. :( What I do during study holidays? 1) Reading everything, except text book. :D 2) Eating snacks for every half an hour :D :P 3) Sleeping 10p.m to 10a.m 4) Went to exhibition two time...
