Initially he busied himself with performing and publishing new research findings. Through this endeavor he expanded his knowledge of chemistry and physics. When he moved from Pennsylvania to California in 1974, he began to serve as a mentor to graduate students. While mentoring others, he himself began learning a lot more about his field of study from his academic peers.
Soon afterwards Dr. Zewail felt encouraged to apply to certain top positions at several American universities. It was during this time that he received the offer to serve as a director at CalTech. At his new position Dr. Zewail enthusiastically worked beside scientists from diverse social and cultural backgrounds. Besides serving in a leadership position to the hundreds of students and faculty members under him, Dr. Zewail not only inspired others to perform at their very best but was also himself inspired to learn and understand new advances in physics and chemistry from others.
Throughout his life Dr. Ahmed Zewail has consistently displayed the following characteristics both within his personality and through his leadership capabilities. One of his personal qualities is that while growing up in Egypt he displayed an insatiable appetite for...
He loved to inquire about and investigate how everything functioned in life. Due to his inquisitiveness and knack for problem solving, Dr. Zewail was successfully able to conduct a lot of research while in college both within Egypt and the United States.
Another of his personal qualities is his steady determination to study abroad in America despite all the obstacles and setbacks he faced towards realizing this goal while still in Egypt. Yet another personal quality was his ability to quickly adapt to new surroundings, as can be seen with the way he adjusted to life in America.
His leadership qualities, which were first revealed in Egypt and continued on in America, include the ability to teach and mentor fellow students in the sciences. Through this he showed that he was capable of helping students from a diversity of backgrounds to learn and understand the scientific field of study. Along side this capability he always expressed a willingness to learn from others and expressed humility about the amount of knowledge he possessed. All these leadership and personal qualities are very admirable and can greatly influence others to acquire them.
RESULTS The first noticeable result was at first disappointing but turned around later in the trail. At first the rsaL mutation did not have any effect on the production of 30C12-HSL nor on lasl transcription, but it began to appear later in the logarithmic phase of propagation at which time the 30C12-HSL production along with Plasl activity reached homoeostasis in the wild strain while continuing to increase rsaL in the mutant
Molecular Basis Glanzmann Thrombasthenia An investigation of the molecular basis of Glanzmann Thrombasthenia using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) The objective of this project is to investigate the molecular basis of Glanzmann Thrombasthenia (GT) using polymerase chain reaction. There have been many mutations discovered in GT patients over the years in many studies. Thus using PCR to genotype patients is one of the most effective ways of discerning the genetic basis of the
Expression Profiling of a Novel Protein A new transcription unit was discovered while working with transfected murine BAC clones, because a novel spot appeared on a 2-dimensional protein gel. Through a process of expression subcloning from the BAC clone, the transcription unit that generated the novel peptide was located. This finding was back validated by sequencing the protein contained in the 2-D gel piece using N-terminal Edman degradation and mass spectroscopy
Nanomachines The Science of molecular size machines and its engineering designs and constructions until late 1980s were not considered practicable. Nanotechnology, according to the leading exponents of that time were neither feasible nor viable, due to the fact of total structural difference of the constituent of nano-molecular device i.e. Atoms from the mechanical objects of every day life. The essential components of engineering mechanics i.e. cogwheels, gears or motors could not
laboratory-based practical work undertaken in this module was in relation to a case study of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, SLE. SLE is a connective tissue disorder, which is autoimmune in nature. This disease affects multiple organs and its clinical manifestation is based on its severity and the organ involved. The pathogenesis of this disease is based on antigen-antibody complexes that circulate in the blood and deposit in the smaller blood
The failure of human hamster fusion in the presence of anti-human izumo antibody clearly showed that Human izumo protein is essential for fertilization. This study however has raised some new questions. The difference in fertilization capacities between wild type and Izumo +/- type was not clearly discussed. Also, the fact that ICSI of izumo -/- produces twice as many litters as did the izumo +/- type implicates the possible role
