Refimprove date April 2008 Sitespecific recombinase SSR technology allows for the manipulation of genetic material in order to explore gene function. The success of the Human Genome Project has made recombinant DNA technology an inevitable next step in molecular biology and genetics. As a mechanism of DNA recombination , sitespecific recombinase SSR technology is transforming mouse genetics. One specific SSR system, Cre Lox Recombination Cre loxP i.e. locus of chromosomal crossover x in the bacteriophage P1 , facilitates the recombination of specific sequences of DNA with high fidelity. Mechanism Image creexcision.png thumb right 250px Cre recombinase Cre belongs to a family of enzymes called recombinases . Cre c yclic re combinase is able to recombine specific sequences of DNA without the need for Cofactor biochemistry cofactors . Cre recombinase recognizes a 34 base pair DNA sequence called loxP . Upon encountering two separate loxP sites flanking a target nucleotide sequence along a linear DNA fragment, Cre deletes this intervening sequence. Tissue specific gene knockout is achieved by the excision of a loxP flanked floxed critical region of a gene after Cre is expressed in the tissue of interest. Depending on the orientation of target sites with respect to one another, Cre will excise, exchange, integrate, or invert DNA sequences.

Refimprove date April 2007 Specific properties of a substance are derived from other intrinsic and extrinsic properties or intensive and extensive properties of that substance. For example, the density of steel a specific and intrinsic property can be derived from measurements of the mass of a steel bar an extrinsic property divided by the volume of the bar another extrinsic property . Similarly, the specific gravity of a liquid is derived from the density of the liquid divided by the density of water two intrinsic properties . Uses of specific properties Reference tables Specific properties are often used in reference tables as a means of recording material data in a manner that is independent of size or mass. This allows the data to be broadly applied while keeping the table compact. Ranking, Classifying, and Comparing Specific properties are useful for making comparisons about one attribute while cancelling out the effect of variations in another attribute. For instance, steel alloys are typically stronger than aluminum alloys but are also much denser. Greater strength allows less metal to be used, which makes the choice between the two metals less than obvious. To simplify the comparison, one would compare the specific strength strength to weight ratio of the two metals. A more everyday example is grocery shopping. The two kilogram package sells for a higher price than the one kilogram package, but what matters is the specific price , commonly called the unit cost cost per kilogram . Mnemonics and Qualitative Reasoning In many instances, specific properties are more intuitive or are easier to remember than the original properties in SI or English units.

Specific force is defined as the non gravitational force per unit mass . math mbox Specific Force frac mathrm Force non gravitational mathrm Mass math Specific force also called g force and mass specific force is measured in Metre per second squared meters second m s sup 2 sup which is the units for acceleration. Thus, specific force is not actually a force, but a type of acceleration. However, the mass specific force is not a coordinate acceleration, but rather a proper acceleration , which is the acceleration relative to free fall. Forces, specific forces, and proper acceleration s are the same in all reference frames, but coordinate accelerations are frame dependent. For free bodies, the specific force is the cause of, and a measure of, the body s proper acceleration . The g force acceleration is the same as the specific force. The acceleration of an object free falling towards the earth depends on the reference frame it disappears in the free fall frame, also called the inertial frame , but any g force acceleration will be present in all frames. This specific force is zero for freely falling objects, since gravity acting alone does not produce g forces or specific forces. Accelerometers on the surface of the Earth measure a constant 9.8 m s 2 even when they are not accelerating that is, when they do not undergo coordinate acceleration . This is because accelerometers measure the proper acceleration produced by the g force exerted by the ground gravity acting alone never produces g force or specific force . Accelerometers measure specific force proper acceleration , which is the acceleration relative to free fall, ref www.strapdownassociates.com Accels 20Measure.pdf ref , not the standard acceleration that is relative to a coordinate system.

This is sometimes referred to as unsystematic risk . In a balanced portfolio of assets there d be a spread between general market risk and risks specific to individual components of that portfolio. Determination of the extent of exposure to individual risks is made using models such as Treynor Black model Treynor Black in which the optimal share of a security is inversely proportional to the square of its specific risk. An example would be news that is specific to either one stock or a group of companies, such as the loss of a patent or a major natural disaster affecting the company s operation.

As a result, the affected persons tend to actively avoid direct contact with the objects or situations and, in severe cases, any mention or depiction of them. The fear or anxiety may be triggered both by the presence and the anticipation of the specific object or situation.
