ARTICLES RELATED TO sticky

sticky: Encyclopedia - Cell adhesion

The study of cell adhesion is part of cell biology. Cells are often not found in isolation, rather they tend to stick to other cells or non-cellular components of their environment. A fundamental question is: what makes cells sticky? Cell adhesion generally involves protein molecules at the surface of cells, so the study of cell adhesion involves cell adhesion proteins and the molecules that they bind to. Cell adhesion - Cell adhesion proteins or Cell adhesion molecules CAMs. see main articl ...

sticky: Encyclopedia II - Sticky bead argument - Feynman's argument

Later in the Chapel Hill conference, Feynman — who had insisted on registering under a pseudonym to express his disdain for the contemporary state of gravitation physics — used Pirani's description to point out that a passing gravitational wave should in principle cause a bead on a stick (not oriented parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave) to slide back and forth, thus heating the bead and the stick by friction. This heating, said Feynman, showed that the wave did indeed impart energy to the bead and stick system, so it must indeed transpo ...

sticky: Encyclopedia - Cuisine of Laos

Lao cuisine is the cuisine of the Lao ethnic group of Laos and Northeast Thailand (Isan). Lao food is distinct from other Southeast Asian cuisines. The staple food of the Lao is sticky rice. Galangal and fish sauce are important ingredients. The Lao national dish is larb, a spicy mixture of marinated meat and/or fish that is sometimes raw (prepared like ceviche) with a variable combination of greens, herbs, and spices. Another characteristic dish is tam mak h ...

sticky: Encyclopedia II - Nuclease - Endonucleases and sticky ends

Not all restriction endonucleases cut symmetrically and leave blunt ends like HindII described above. Many endonucleases cleave the DNA backbones in positions that are not directly opposite each other. For example, the nuclease EcoRI has the following recognition sequence: ↓ 5' G A A T T C 3' 3' C T T A A G 5' ↑ When the enzyme encounters this sequence, it cleaves each backbone between the G and the closest A base residues. Once the cuts have been made, the resulting fra ...

sticky: Encyclopedia II - Nuclease - Site-specific nuclease

This important development came when H.O. Smith, K.W. Wilcox, and T.J. Kelley, working at Johns Hopkins University in 1968, isolated and characterized the first restriction nuclease whose functioning depended on a specific DNA nucleotide sequence. Working with Haemophilus influenzae bacteria, this group isolated an enzyme, called HindII, that always cut DNA molecules at a particular point within a specific sequence of six base pairs. This sequence is: 5' G T ( pyrimidine: T or C) ( purine: A or G) A C 3' 3' C A ( ...

sticky: Encyclopedia II - Post-it note - History

The original adhesive used in Post-it notes was invented in 1968 by Spencer Silver, a 3M researcher. While attempting to design a strong adhesive, he instead developed an adhesive that was very weak. No immediate application was apparent, until 1974 when a colleague, Arthur Fry, conceived of using the adhesive to create bookmarks while contemplating a hymnal in his church choir. Initial prototypes were available in 1977, and by 1980–1981, after a large sampling campaign, the produ ...

sticky: Encyclopedia II - Glutinous rice - Chinese traditions

The Chinese have adopted sticky rice as part of their diet, mostly in seasonal or holiday-related foods. For example, zongzi is a Chinese dumpling consisting of sticky rice and fillings steamed in leaves, usually eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival. Lo mai kai is a parcel of sticky rice and chicken wrapped in lotus leaves and steamed. It is served as a dim sum dish in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. Sticky rice is also often ground to make glutinous rice flour. This flour is then made into niangao and ...

sticky: Encyclopedia II - Non-lethal force - Less-lethal force in the news

Victoria Snelgrove (October 29, 1982 - October 21, 2004) was an American Boston Red Sox fan. She was accidentally killed by police near Fenway Park by a blunt trauma / pepper spray projectile fired from an FN 303 (a compressed-air system similar to those of a paintball gun) manufactured by Fabrique Nationale de Herstal – classified as a less-lethal weapon – which hit her in her eye causing her to bleed excessively. She died at 12:50pm EST at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. A video of the scene shows the crowd dispersing once they realized the s ...

sticky: Encyclopedia II - Rice - Cultivars

Rice cultivars are often classified by their grain shapes and texture. For example, Thai Jasmine rice is long-grain and relatively less sticky, as long-grain rice contains less amylopectin than short-grain cultivars. Chinese restaurants usually serve long-grain as plain unseasoned steamed rice. Japanese mochi rice and Chinese sticky rice are short-grain. Chinese people use sticky rice which is properly known as "glutinous rice" (which does not contain dietary gluten) to make zongzi. The Japanese table rice is a sticky, short-grain rice. Japanese ...

sticky: Encyclopedia II - Restriction enzyme - Fragment complementarity and splicing

Because recognition sequences and cleavage sites differ between restriction enzymes, the length and the exact sequence of a sticky-end "overhang", as well as whether it is the 5' end or the 3' end strand that overhangs, depends on which enzyme produced it. Base-pairing between overhangs with complementary sequences enables two fragments to be joined or "spliced" by a DNA ligase. A sticky-end fragment can be ligated not only to the fragment from which it was originally cleaved, but also to any other fragment with a compatible sticky en ...

sticky: Encyclopedia II - Japanese New Year - Mochi

Another custom of the Japanese is making rice cakes. Boiled mochigome (sticky rice) is put in to a wooden shallow bucket-like container and patted with water by one person while another person hits it with a large wooden hammer. By mashing the rice, it gets sticky and forms a sticky white dumpling. This is made before New Year's Day and eaten during the beginning of January. Mochi is also made into a New Year's decoration called kagami mochi, formed from two round cakes of mochi with a daidai (bitter orange) placed on top. The name of the daidai is supposed to be auspi ...

List of Star Wars creatures - Opee Sea Killer. Opees were 20 meter long carnivorous crustaceans that lived deep in Naboo's watery core. They had long, sticky tongues for snatching prey, and an interesting form of propulsion. In addition to armored fins and flippers, an opee sea killer could let in water through his mouth, then squirt it out through gaps in his armored back. See also:

sticky: Encyclopedia II - Spider web - How spiders use webs

The spider, after spinning its web, will then wait on, or near, the web for a prey animal to become trapped. The spider can sense the impact and struggle of a prey animal by vibrations transmitted along the web lines. Spiders do not usually adhere to their own webs. However, they are not immune to their own glue. Some of the strands of the web are sticky, and others are not. For example, if a spider has chosen to wait along the outer edges of its web, it may spin a non-sticky prey or signal line to the web hub to monitor web movement. Spiders have to be careful to ...

sticky: Encyclopedia II - Gravitational radiation - Overview

In Einstein's theory of General Relativity, gravitation is, essentially, identified with spacetime curvature. In the famous slogan promulgated by John Archibald Wheeler, matter tells spacetime how to curve, and spacetime tells matter how to move. For example, humans feel the ground pressing against their feet (or behind, according to stance). From the viewpoint of general relativity, this means that contact with the ground is preventing them from falling freely, thereby accelerating them. Since acceleration is identified with bending ...

sticky: Encyclopedia II - Gravitational radiation - The Nature of Gravitational Waves

Gravitational waves represent fluctatations in the metric of space-time. That is, they alter the relative distance between test particles. It follows that to directly detect a gravitational wave, you should in essence look for tiny relative motions between two objects. In the case of the LIGO detectors, this is essentially relative motion between two suspended mirrors, and as we saw above the motion to be detected is far smaller than the size of an atom, in fact smaller than the "size" of an atomic nucleus. Since thermal motion in each mirror is far larger than this, understa ...

Gravitational waves are caused by certain motions of mass or energy. The type of motion required is different from electromagnetism in one very important respect however: the strongest type of electromagnetic radiation is dipole radiation, while the strongest type of gravitational radiation is quadrupole radiation. [1] According to general relativity, the quadrupole moment (or some higher moment) of an isolated system must be time-varying in order for it to emit gravitational radiation. Here are some examples which illus ...
