Shop Refit – A shop or store looking as up to date as possible is a key factor in running a successful business. Even a simple refit of the shelving and fixtures can do wonders for a shop or a store and will impress the customers. Shop refit can be defined as to make or be made ready for use again by repairing, re-equipping, or resupplying for further use and deliver efficient and relaxed shopping experience to their customers as a well the efficiency to the staff. Factors that should be consideration while designing or executing store or shop refit includes following:

Shoppers Feel Relaxed in Familiar Settings: When clothing, athletic equipment, bikes, car accessories or specialty food items are displayed creatively in cozy, creative setups that mirror a corner of a home entertainment room, den or outdoor grilling area, customers are immediately reminded of how much they will enjoy using this item in their daily lives. Because it prompts them to think right away of familiar and comfy home settings, the garment, bike, car seat cushion, laptop or digital tablet becomes even more appealing than at first glance.

Creative Displays Capture Customers' Attention: The products sell best when showcased in creative, cozy display settings that feature the merchandise in familiar, yet enticing or appealing store displays. Expert shop fitters know that the latest reclining easy chair or sleek, glass-top bar cart will sell at much better rates when displayed in a cozy, colorfully decorated corner of the store that reminds buyers of a room at home rather than when mounted on a plain countertop in the middle of the store. Even iPhones, tablets and new laptop models will sell best when shown in appealing, well-lit glass showcases for clear viewing by customers. Either warm or cool hues for showcase backgrounds or shelving surfaces will attract and capture more buyers for displayed items.

Easy navigation, identification helps the customers shopping experience and efficiency: The designer or shop fitter must ensure that there should be proper signage and mapping is provided with in the store for better navigation and flow. The products are properly grouped and identification as well as other information such as price/offer etc. should be easily readable. The access to the product should take into consideration the ergonomics and human factors consideration. Visual clutter should be avoided and colours should be used not only to enhance the visual experience but also in navigation and finding/locating the products.

Block printing – it is the most ancient method of printing on fabric by using wooden blocks. Blocks are made by engraving design on flat and the raised portion helps to print the design. Printing paste is made using pigment and adhesive, binder or thickners. Blocks are dipped into the print paste and stamped on the fabric. Separate blocks are used for each color.

Advantages – beautiful effects can be created. Bright and colorful prints are obtained.

Disadvantages – slow process and cost is high. Placement of blocks are rarely aligned, leads to a lot of rejection.

Color harmony is absolutely essential to creating aesthetically pleasing art and design. Color harmony helps avoid any visual clutter or chaos and enhances the visual experience of the objects to its viewer. Understanding color theory including color wheel, primary, secondary and complementary colors is very essential to achieve any color harmony in their art work or design.

The key color is the main color that you choose for your artwork. It could be a primary, secondary, or tertiary color, but it is the one that you want to accent or focus on throughout your piece. Examples include a blue sky, a green forest, or an orangey-red volcano. Once you have identified your key color. 

It is easy to identify harmonious colors using a color wheel and various recommended schemes provided below:

Complementary: Complementary colors are directly opposite each other on the wheel. They are visually arresting, but can be jarring, so it is best to use them sparingly for an accent or pop.

Analogous: Analogous colors are located on either side of the key color along the color wheel. They tend to represent color schemes that are found in nature, and are visually serene. However, overuse of analogous colors can make your painting seem monochromatic, so avoid too much reliance on them unless that is the feel you are aiming for.

Split-Complementary: Split-complementary color schemes use the key color with the colors on either side of its complement, rather than the complementary color itself. This is a safer choice than complementary colors for beginning artists, because it provides much of the same effect without the harshness of a true complementary scheme.

Color Temperatures - The warm colors are on the red, yellow, and orange side of the color wheel. They are fiery, intense, and energetic. The cool colors are on the blue, purple, and green side of the wheel. They are watery, soothing, and calm. When planning your color scheme, consider the mood that you want your painting to evoke, and choose a blend of temperatures that reflect that mood. Black, white, and grey are neutral temperature colors.

Shades, Tints, and Tones - Shades, tints, and tones should also be taken into account when planning your color scheme. Shades are created by adding black to the original hue. Tints are created when white is added, while adding grey creates tones.

Transfer of hereditary characters from one generation to next takes place with the help of nucleus. But extrachromosomal DNA is not under the control of nuclear DNA its copy number varies in different organism.

Yes, the use of contraceptives is absolutely justified. The human population is increasing tremendously. Therefore, to regulate the population growth by regulating reproduction has become a necessary demand in the present times. Various contraceptive devices have been devised to reduce unwanted pregnancies, which help in bringing down the increased birth rate and hence, in checking population explosion.

Contraceptive devices are used to prevent unwanted pregnancy and to prevent the spreading of STDs. There are many methods, such as natural, barrier, oral, and surgical methods, that prevent unwanted pregnancy. However, the complete removal of gonads cannot be a contraceptive option because it will lead to infertility and unavailability of certain hormones that are required for normal functioning of accessory reproductive parts. Therefore, only those contraceptive methods can be used that prevent the chances of fertilization rather than making the person infertile forever.

To prove that DNA has the genetic properties, Hershey and chase conducted experiments on T₂ bacteriophages. A bacteriophage has simple molecular constitution as it consists of a capsid that is made up of protein, and DNA that is contained with in the head portion of the capsid. They incorporated radioactive isotopes of 32p into phage DNA and that of 35s intro proteins of a separated phase culture. Their experiments was based on the fact that DNA, but not the proteins contains phosphorus, and similarly sulphur is present in proteins not in DNA. These phase type were used independently to infect the e.coli. Hershey and chase showed that when 32p was used, all radioactivity was associated with bacterial cells and if followed, appeared in the progency phase. However, when 35s was used, all radioactive, material was limited to phase ghost. If we use the radio labelled C and N, the result will be different as both proteins and DNA will be radio lebelled.

DNA finger printing:-

It is also called DNA typing or DNA profiling. A method of ascertaining relationship and the identity of person by means of DNA fingerprint which is unique to each individual.

Various steps:-

(i) DNA is extracted from the cell in a high speed refrigerated centrifuge.

(ii) If content is limited, it can be amplified by making many copies of it using PCR.

(iii) DNA is cut into fragements with site recognizing restriction enzymes for restriction fragment length anlysis.

(iv) Fragments DNA are introduced and passed through electrophors is set up containing agrose polymer gel separated fragments can be seen by staining with fluoresces under UV radiation.

(v) Double-standard DNA is then split into single standard DNA using alkaline chemicals.

(vi) Separated DNA sequences are them transferred to a nylon a nitrocellulose sheet placed over the gel. This is called 'southern blotting'.

(vii) The nylon sheet is them immersed in a bath and probes or markers that are radioactive synthetic DNA segments of known sequence are added. The probes target a specific nucleotide sequence which is complementary to VNTR sequence and hybridized them.

(viii) Finally, x-ray film is exposed to the nylon sheet containing radioactive probe dark band containing radioactive sites which resemble the bar codes.

Reproductive health:-

A society with people having physically and functionally normal reproductive organs and normal emotional and behavioural interactions among them in all sex related aspects might be called reproductive health.

Importance and care:-

(i) The primary step towards reproductive health is conunselling and creating awareness among people about reproductive organs, adolscence and associated changes, safe and hygenic sexual practices, sexually transmitted diseases (STD's) etc.

(ii) The programmes like reproductive and child health care eater to providing medical facilities and care to problems like menstrual irregularities, pregnancy related aspects, delivery, MTP, STD's birth control, infertility, post natal child and maternal management.

(iii) The STD's can be prevented by observing simple precautions like avoiding sexual intercourse with unknown/multiple parents, use of condoms during coitus etc.

(iv) Infertile couples and assisted through various programmes one such being. 'Test tube Baby programme'.

Darwinism Theory of natural selection:-

The theory of natural selection is based on the following factor:-

(i) Rapid multiplication:- All animals and plants tends to multiply in geometrical progression. Every species produces more offsprings than can be supported in a particular environment and can survive.

(ii) Limited environmental resources (Space and food):- Increase of population in animals and plants requires more space and food. The space in the universe remains constant. The ultimate source of food for all plants and also animals consists of CO₂, of the air and water and mineral salts of the soil. These material do not increase. The carrying capacity of environment, that is, the number of individuals it can support, does not allow its population to grow beyond the limit and equilibrium is reached. Hence, the population size remains nearly constant.

(iii) Struggle for existance:- Every individual makes efforts for fulfilment of its basic needs. This competition for the primary necessities of life is called struggle for existence.

(iv) Variation:- Variation is the law of nature. Every individual varies in some respects, such as size, shape, structure and behaviour, from other of its species.

(v) Natural selection (survival of the fittest):- In the struggle for existence, the individuals which have more favourable variations well enjoy a competitive advantage over others which have less favourable of unfavourable variations, and will survive and reproduce.

(vi) Inheritance of usefuI variation:- The individuals, after their selection by nature in the struggle for existence, pass on their useful variations to the next generation. Thus, the offspring of the fit individuals will also be fit.

(vii) Formation of new species:- In each generation, new favourable variations appear, and supplement the favourable variations inherited from the parents.

Components (factors) of ecosystem:-

An ecosystem has two basic components:

(i) Abiotic (non-living)

(ii) Biotic (living)

(i) Abiotic components:- Comprise inorganic materials (e.g., carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, CO2, water, etc.) and dead organic matter, containing proteins carbohydrates, lipids, minerals etc.

Abiotic substances are present in soil, water and air. The solar radiation and temperature determine the abiotic conditions within which the organisms carry out life functions.

(ii) Biotic components:- Biotic components include producers, consumers and decomposers.

(a) Producers are the autotrophic generally chlorophyll bearing organism which produce their own food by fixing light energy in the presence of simple inorganic abiotic substances.

(b) Consumers or phagotrophs:- Consumers are hetrophic organisms mostly animals which generally ingest of swallow their food. The food of consumers consists of organic compounds produced by other living organisms. A consumer which derives nutrition by eating plants is called primary consumer or herbivore. The secondary nutrition by eating plants is called primary consumer or herbivore. The secondary consumer or carnivore is an animal that devours the flesh of herbivore or other animals.

(c) Decomposer or saprotrophs:- The heterotrophic organisms, consisting mostly of bacteria and fungi which live on a dead organic matter of detritus.

Effects of nicotine:- Nicotine, in a low concentration.

(i) Stimulates conduction of nerve impuses

(ii) relaxes the muscles

(iii) releases adrenaline, increasing heart beat rate and blood pressure

(iv) retards foetal growth is expecting mothers

(v) high concentration of nicotine paralyses nerve cells

Antibiotics:-

Antibiotics is prepared from micro-organisms and is used against other micro-organism.
