Second Uniqueness Theorem01:16

Second Uniqueness Theorem

1.1K
Consider a region consisting of several individual conductors with a definite charge density in the region between these conductors. The second uniqueness theorem states that if the total charge on each conductor and the charge density in the in-between region are known, then the electric field can be uniquely determined.
In contrast, consider that the electric field is non-unique and apply Gauss's law in divergence form in the region between the conductors and the integral form to the...

Gene Duplication and Divergence02:37

Gene Duplication and Divergence

6.3K
The seminal work of Ohno in 1970 popularized the idea of gene duplication and divergence. DNA sequence comparison studies reveal that a large portion of the genes in bacteria, archaebacteria, and eukaryotes was  generated by gene duplication and divergence, indicating its critical role in evolution.
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are...

Duplication of Chromatin Structure02:05

Duplication of Chromatin Structure

5.7K
The process of chromosome duplication during cell division requires genome-wide disruption and re-assembly of chromatin. The chromatin structure must be accurately inherited, reassembled, and maintained in the daughter cells to ensure lineage propagation.
The basic unit of the chromatin is the nucleosome, consisting of DNA wrapped around octameric histone proteins and short stretches of linker DNA separating individual nucleosomes. The histone proteins within the nucleosome have their...

Genome Copying Errors02:46

Genome Copying Errors

4.3K
DNA replication is a well-evolved process that copies millions of base pairs with high fidelity during each cell division. Occasionally a wrong base or a long stretch of wrong bases may get added to the daughter strands. If the errors are left unchecked, cells might accumulate several mutations that might endanger their  survival. Therefore, the copying errors are checked and repaired at three levels.

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs02:26

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

17.9K
Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Asexual Reproduction02:38

Asexual Reproduction

32.4K
Asexual reproduction allows plants to reproduce without growing flowers, attracting pollinators, or dispersing seeds. Offspring are genetically identical to the parent and produced without the fusion of male and female gametes.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Museum collections are not permanent and depend on specific conditions. Examining duplicates reveals insights into collection permanence, museum politics, and object mobility across disciplines.

Area of Science:

  • Museum Studies
  • Cultural Heritage
  • History of Science

Background:

  • The concept of permanent preservation shapes museum identities and policies.
  • Recent scholarship questions the enduring nature of collections, highlighting their fragility.
  • Duplicates are under-explored within the history of collecting practices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of duplicates in understanding collection permanence.
  • To analyze the political and economic frameworks influencing museum objects.
  • To connect diverse collection histories across scientific, ethnographic, and artistic fields.

Main Methods:

  • Historical analysis of collecting practices.
  • Examination of museum policies and politics.
  • Interdisciplinary comparative study of collection types.

Main Results:

  • Duplicates challenge the notion of inherent collection perpetuity.
  • The history of duplicates reveals shared practices across different collection types.
  • Collecting institutions are situated within broader political and epistemic contexts.

Conclusions:

  • The study of duplicates offers a novel perspective on museum object mobility and permanence.
  • Understanding duplicates is crucial for a nuanced history of collecting institutions.
  • This approach integrates diverse collection histories within wider societal frameworks.
