1. DNA in forensic science: DNA contains the genetic code of a person. The genetic information stored in the DNA, is coded in the form of nucleotide sequence. The nucleotide sequence is formed by four fundamental nucleotides: A, T, G, C nucleotide, that formed a polymer in a set order. A typical human DNA, has 3 billion nucleotide bases. The DNA sequence is 99.8% identical in all human beings and is only 0.2% dissimilar. This dissimilarity is the basis for identification of the suspects in forensic medicine. No two human beings can have a DNA that is 100% identical. ...

Abstract

Regression analysis is the statistical technique commonly used in econometric modeling and carrying out economic forecasts. This study sought to assess the precision multiple linear regression in evaluating the evolution in real GDP per capita in the USA between 1998 and 2011 using expenditure approach. Three macroeconomic variables were used; Gross domestic product, net investment and final consumption. Net investment and final consumption are model regressors predicting GDP. The researcher used MS Excel to carry out all the statistical analysis on the data. The analysis result shows weak linear development GDP increment. Small fluctuations were observed around the fitted ...

Introduction

Population dynamics affects a country’s development and the general contribution of the country or region to the global society. This paper examines the relative population growth of Africa using ten countries from the continent (Libya, Angola, Kenya, Cameroon, Guinea, Mauritania, Botswana, Ghana, Chad and Madagascar) in comparison to five countries from other regions. The U.S.A, Ukraine (former Soviet Union), South Korea (Asia), Qatar (Middle East), Brazil (South America) are the countries selected to compare to the African countries. This paper presents ranking of the fifteen countries above ...

Introduction

The combined Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and rose to $15.8trillion in 2008(International Monetary Fund estimates) which is impressive when compared to the G.D.Ps of U.S.A and Canada ($ 15.5trillion) and Europe ($ 14.8trillion). This spontaneous exponential growth can be attributed to population dynamics (nearly two third of the world’s population resides in Asia), economic markets and or/socio-political conditions (a fusion of capitalism and socialism/communism) and the work ethic of these Asian cultures among. This paper shall ascertain the role of each of these three major factors in the increased economic growth rate in ...
