The General Motors OnStar 01 module is designed to provide an interface between the OnStar system and an after-market stereo system so that all of the OnStar features are retained. The GMOS-01 comes with the wiring harnesses necessary to connect to the new stereo and the GM vehicle OnStar and radio systems. This installation should only be performed on GM cars with OnStar pre-installed from the factory, otherwise it may cause unexpected results in the vehicle's electrical system.
Phone cloning allows a cellphone to operate on the cellular service of another phone, referred to as the target phone, often unbeknownst to its owner. After cloning, the target phone’s electronic serial number, or ESL, is altered, facilitating fraudulent phone calls on a second mobile phone that lacks cellular service of its own. Verizon’s cellular network is secured with authentication, which dramatically reduces incidents of cloning. Although authentication makes a network secure, it does not prevent all cloning attempts. Utilizing a Verizon phone’s PIN code and lock feature is paramount for cloning protection.
Prokaryotic cells are predominantly found in bacteria and archaea. They consist of several biological molecules, including DNA, proteins and enzymes surrounded by a simple cell membrane. These molecules perform all the biological functions of the cell. A eukaryotic cell is found in more complex plants and animals. It contains organelles or cellular organs, each responsible for a specific biological function. All the organelles are surrounded by a complex cell membrane and cell wall. The genes, which commonly include segments of DNA, have often been transferred between the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells as part of the nature’s evolution. The same can…

Evidence-based reading research (or, more frequently, instruction) is defined as any practice of teaching students to read that has a proven record of success. Evidence of success must possess the following scientific qualities: objectivity, validity, reliability, systematicity and being refereed or peer-reviewed. Some of the curriculum components that have been consistently identified as meeting this standard include alphabetics, fluency, vocabulary and reading comprehension.
Form SS-4 is the document used to get an Employer Identification Number from the IRS. Every corporation is required to obtain an EIN for taxation purposes. Banks will not open a business checking account for a corporation that does have an EIN. A corporation should maintain a copy of Form SS-4 when filed with the IRS, but this is only possible if the company applies for an EIN by fax, online or by mail. Retrieving a copy of Form SS-4 might be a necessary step for a corporation that has misplaced the company’s EIN.
Structured Query Language (SQL) is the most common language in which to communicate to a relational database. SQL is an international standard language for manipulation relational databases.

SQL can create database schemas, delete them, and change them.
The federal tax code grants 501(c)(3) organizations the right to not pay federal income tax and allows all contributions to these organizations to be tax deductions for the donor. In exchange for this right, the Internal Revenue Service requires that these organizations be transparent so that potential donors can be confident regarding where their money is going and how it is being used. Upon request, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization must disclose its application for 501(c)(3) status, its annual tax returns and any correspondence that it receives from the IRS.
A chromosome is an organized, thread-like structure made of a single sequence of DNA coiled about a supporting structure of DNA-bound proteins called histones. Because chromosomes are the result of the condensation of DNA sequences, they contain multiple genes -- often numbering in thousands. The human genome contains an estimated 20,000 to 25,000 total genes, distributed unequally among 23 pairs of chromosomes. These 23 pairs are numbered according to size, with chromosome 1 being the largest and chromosome 21 the smallest. Chromosomes X and Y, also known as “sex chromosomes,” determine the sex of a person. These four chromosomes, because…
IMAX is a film format created in the late 1960s, with the capacity to display images at a greater size and with better surround sound than traditional films. Most people use an LCD projector to enhance and project a computer image onto a wall or screen, as this type of projector offers ease of use and portability. However, you can inexpensively make an IMAX-like projector with a computer equipped with a mini ITX motherboard, a screen and a 3-D computer speaker system.
In the days before houseplants were readily available for sale, taking a "slip" from the neighbor's plant allowed friends and neighbors to build their houseplant collection while sharing their own plants with others. A slip from a plant refers to a stem cutting clipped from the growing end of the plant. This produces a clone of the original plant that can be rooted and potted in soil.
If you want to extract a particular metal from an alloy one, place the alloy in an acid that will dissolve the metals you don't want while leaving the metal you do want unaffected. This will allow you to derive pure, or nearly pure samples of desired metals. However, such procedures can be dangerous and need to be approached with caution.

A product monograph is a factual, scientific document produced for pharmaceuticals that describes the properties of a drug and information necessary for safe dispensation and use. A product monograph is developed for doctors who prescribe the drug and consumers. The document does not contain promotional media, so it is regarded as an objective source of information about the properties of a drug. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates monographs.
The audio files on a CD are encoded in the PCM (pulse code modulation) audio format. This is a lossless format that does not strip any of the high or low frequencies from being heard, unlike an MP3 audio file. To make a clone of the CD, copy it using the Windows Media Player program that is included with the Windows operating system. This perfect duplicate (aka clone) of the CD will then be saved onto a blank CD disc. The procedure is straightforward and will not harm the original CD in any way.

Introduce students to a vocabulary list concerning genetics just as you would any other series of terms. It's important to allow students some exposure to the terms before you begin teaching a lesson concerning genetics. As there are many uncommon terms within the genetics terms list, be prepared to answer questions and to possibly slow down your teaching speed. Give students ample time to learn the terms before you teach the basics of genetics, and your class comprehension levels will be much higher than if you jump into teaching the lesson right away.
Genetic conditions refer to diseases that are passed from one generation to another. Tuberous sclerosis is one such condition. It takes its name from the shape of the tumor that grows in the brain; a tuber or root shape (See Reference 2). The condition causes a skin condition that produces white spots resembling an ash leaf (See Reference 2).
Evidence-based practice is the application of the practices, methods and ideologies supported by clinical research. Evidence-based practice is popularly used in medicine, psychology, science, education and other science-based professional disciplines. Significantly, evidence-based practice depends upon facilitators, which are the resources that make the evidence (or research) accessible to practitioners. Facilitators have important uses in evidence-based practice.
Bean plants grow bright and lush during the summer season, with relatively long maturity dates and repeat harvests. Runner beans differ from bush beans in that they grow long, climbing vines and require support. These bean plants follow the same rules as their bushy cousins, though, and fade at first frost. Take cuttings of successful bean vines ahead of the first frost and take them indoors to try your hand at rooting them.
Genetic algorithms are an Artificial Intelligence technique inspired by nature. Evolution "designs" new animals to fit into environments in a strictly mechanical way that seems to exhibit intelligence. Genetic algorithms are a useful way to solve design problems when you have no obvious way to proceed. If you can cast a problem as the optimization of the values in a string of numbers, a genetic algorithm can find this optimization. How you organize the parameters of the genetic algorithm turns out to be crucial to optimizing the solution to a particular problem.
