Title Page  Your provisional title should be around ten words in length, and clearly and accurately indicate your area of study and or proposed approach. It should be catchy, informative and interesting. The title page should also include personal information, such as your name, academic title, date of birth, nationality and contact details. Aims and Objectives  This is a short summary of your project. Your aims should be two or three broad statements that emphasize what you ultimately want to achieve, complemented by several focused, feasible and measurable objectives- the steps that you'll take to answer each of your research questions. This involves clearly and briefly outlining: How your research addresses a gap in or builds upon existing knowledge. How your research links to the department that you're applying to. The academic, cultural, political and/or social significance of your research questions.  Literature review This section di...

Tissue engineering specialists at the University of Bath are developing animal cells on blades of grass because they play their part in assisting the UK o to understand how to effectively scale up production of cultured meat. To create cultured or lab-grown meat, then a biopsy is obtained from an animal like a or cow then stem cells with that sample are set in a bioreactor in a lab, where they're fed a solution of sugar, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. The mixture of nutrients and cells in particular conditions will allow the cells to develop into mature muscle cells which can form cultured meat. Meat-eaters can soon get slaughter-free meat products if this process can be scaled to an industrial level. The present feel of cultured meat which makes it best suited to sausages and burgers. But, it is estimated that products like steak and bacon rashers will likely be developed in the future. Directed by Dr. Marianne Ellis, the UK's leading expert in this subject...

Research & Development has been scaled up to a commendable level since last decade. In fact, a country’s strength is now measured on the scale of how efficient its R&D is ! Research has currently been inculcated into each & every field be it science area alone has witnessed a steep rise. This has helped in eradicating life-threatening diseases like polio and pox and treating morbid disorders and numerous cancers. No doubt, it has led to betterment for humanity for humanity associated with health and quality of life. But research must be conducted beneath the umbrella of ethics and consistent with the pre-determined acceptable rules developed by the community of scientists. Once the results are obtained, publishing them is the responsibility of every scientist, in order to spread across the world globally. This will aid different researchers to analyze further on the obtained results and facilitate clinicians to relinquish additional care to the sick. Writing analy...
