Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens wrote thirteen novels published in the year of his death. His first great success was The Pickwick Papers (1836-1837). Dickens soon moved forward from this old-fashioned view of England. In Oliver Twist and Nicholas Nickleby, he writes of the social problems faced by young boys like Oliver and Nicholas. The sufferings of children were a main theme of Dickens's writing. He advocated for education for all children and showed his readers the kind of problems children faced in the cities, where poor people had no chance to share in the success of the nation. Dickens went on to write novels that criticized society in a more general way. David Copperfield is his most positive novel about growing up. This novel was based...

Introduction to The Holy Innocents

The Holy Innocents completes a trilogy of rural narratives by Miguel Delibes, alongside The Road and The Rats. It is imbued with the love and emotional vehemence with which Delibes defends life in the countryside, a life free from contamination. Nature is depicted as a kind of Arcadia, threatened by progress. The action unfolds within this natural world.

It is said that the novel's landscape coincides with the Extremaduran countryside, where the flora and fauna are meticulously described. The rural men, resigned and content, live in perfect harmony with the earth. The farm owners, however, only visit for leisure or to oversee matters: Iván goes hunting with his influential friends, and the Marchioness and Miss...

1 .- Concept D ° Subjective:

- Law in the objective sense is a set of legal rules governing the conduct of men

- Law in the subjective sense is contained in the substantive law (as when speaking of one or the other is because they look different aspects), is the faculty that has a subject to perform specific behavior, or refrain from it or require other The subject line of duty, serves to make, do and demand.

- These two concepts are related, since the definition of D ° objective is obtained for the individual right that could be formulated as follows: Power to act to satisfy their own interests guaranteed by law.

- There are some rights that are exercised without the consent, as the inherent rights (HR)

- We must make it clear that the... Continue reading "Subjective Rights" »

Building Java GUI Applications with AWT

Creating GUI applications using Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) involves setting up a top-level container, adding components, arranging them with a Layout Manager, and making the container visible.

Steps to Create an AWT Application

1. Choose a Top-Level Container

The application needs a primary window to hold all components. The most common choice is the Frame class, which provides a title bar, borders, and window controls.

import java.awt.*;

// Class extends Frame to be the application window itself
public class AWTExample extends Frame {
    // Constructor and other methods
}

2. Initialize the Container (The Frame)

Inside the constructor, you set up the basic properties of the window:

• Title: Set the window

Direct DNA Transfer: Vectorless Gene Introduction

The term direct or vectorless transfer of DNA is used when foreign DNA is introduced directly into the host genome, bypassing biological vectors.

Key Direct Gene Transfer Methods

1. Electroporation

   Electroporation involves using high field strength electrical impulses to reversibly permeabilize cell membranes, allowing the uptake of DNA. This technique can be used for the delivery of DNA into intact plant cells and protoplasts. Nowadays, intact cells, callus cultures, and immature embryos can be used with suitable pre- and post-electroporation treatments. Electroporation has been successfully employed for producing transgenic plants of many cereals, such as rice, wheat, and maize.
