why is media (agar plates) stored inverted after it is made?

to stop condensation forming on the lid and dropping into the agar

Because as they re-absorb the liquid they're cooking in, the cells fill up and get fatter.\n\nSame reason they shrink whey they're dried, but in reverse.

hmm.. i have not experienced this. but its strange that the files got lost if you pull out the memory card in between the transfer!!!\nbtw, what do you mean by format??? are you able to use the memory card further or not?

Best method if practical is to freeze it.\nIf not sealed within a steralized container.

The same way it is stored on any other magnetic media-- there is a read-write head, a tiny electromagnet that creates tiny magnetized spots on the special coating of the disk surface. It writes by magnetizing the little spots and reads by sensing the magnetism in the spots it wrote on. \n\nThe written areas are ones, the areas not written are zeros. That is binary data. The whole rest of the computer, the hardware and the software, is to sort, compare and combine those patterns of 1's and 0's. Everything on the computer, including the windows, the colors, the text and the pixels of photos, the data and the programs that do things with the data, are stored in binary form on disks, either in your machine or on a server somewhere.

I wouldn't even worry about it. The stuff on those disks is superfluous at best, borderline malwear at worst. It's all completely unnecessary, and frankly, you're better off without it on your pc, for the space it frees up if nothing else.

homogenization is totally safe they just shake the contents, in some cases vegetable gelatins are used to conservate the homogenization, but my guess is that it should be safe.

If you have two magnetic rings (that have two opposite sides) you put them through a straw. One ring levatates above the other because of the force that pulls them apart. It's kind of hard to explain. I hope this makes sense.

Actually you're right.  When F2 was initially isolated, it kept reacting w/ the storage vessels...displacing other less electronegative elements (like Cl).  Eventually someone figured out to use a flourinated salt for storage, and voila, isolated AND stored.\n\nToday there are materials that are virtually inert to F2, but that's because chemistry progressed w/ clever ideas like the one above.

WOW!!  What a question! This is some form of raw material but not understanding what your question is. Email me so I have a better idea on what your asking,,,

The moisture in the "glue" must evapourate before it can bond.  The inside of the container is not airtight, however there is insufficient air and heat to facillitate evaporation.  Hence, the "glue" is kept in liquid or solid (as in the case of a glue stick) form.  Also, the containers are plastic which doesnt have high affinitiy for many chemicals, further reducing bonding.

Well.......here goes. This experiment relies on the solvent solution being absorbed into the paper, and climbing upwards. This then allows the separation of the test material / substance, which follows the solvent solution. Most solvents will quickly evaporate when introduced to the air, so for more accurate results, and an overall truer picture, the container should be sealed.

you can surely rule out some things based on the type of plate you are using.  assuming that you have covered that base, you can separately pick a colony that you think may be a contaminant and look for differences in growth patterns, color, morphology, gram stain, growth on other media, and if all else fails, you can sequence it to find out exactly what it is.

The bacteria use the starches and carbohydrates in the agar to multiply. The purpose of agar is to be a universal growth medium for all bacterial colonies to grow

If we view this letter "e" with the microscope at 40X, 100X, and \n\n400X, the image appears to be inverted, as happens with most compound \n\nmicroscopes. The complete letter "e" is visible at 40X and 100X, but not at 400X. \n\nThe field of view remains the same, but the image is magnified and only a portion of \n\nthe letter "e" is visible.

the chassis wont distort the reading. you need to be encompassed in a diamagnetic material for distortion.

You can either change the file associations (what they call MIME Type Assignments).  However, I would just re-install Media Player.  It will take over agin and its much easier.
