According to Sheridan (1999), virtual presence is a theoretical concept intended to describe the phenomenon wherein an individual “feels herself to be present at a location which is synthetic”; that is, created only by a computer.

“Eco-certification is legitimized in part by a standard narrative portraying the state as ineffective with respect to protecting vulnerable subjects, leaving certification agents in a position of trustee, acting on behalf of these subjects.”

New and improved conveyances that made travel faster, cheaper and easier created a more mobile population, and with mobility came new exposures and interactions. (P. 123). Eventually published as The Relationship of Railway Corporations to Public Hygiene, Cronk’s speech became one of the numerous pamphlets circulating at this time to sound the alarm about the many disease carriers – human, animal, and insect – traveling by rail, turning rail carriers into disease carriers by association.

The local professional middle-class hardly represents one socio-cultural force in the process of class restructuring in a central urban landscape…..Current gentrifiers of this professional middle-class distinguished themselves by their high economic capital . Analysis reveals that income level plays the dominant role in gentrifier identification.

We want to conclude this section by arguing that the defining characteristics of contemporary gentrification should include in the widest sense: (1) reinvestment of capital; (2) social upgrading of locale by incoming high-income groups; (3) landscape change; and (4) direct or indirect displacement of low-income groups.

Gentrification involves the socioeconomic upgrade of the place by incoming groups; the land reinvestment; the landscape change and the replacement/displacement of existing low-income groups (Davidson and Lees, 2005, p.1170).
Writer’s comment:
I used to write as “social upgrading”. And then my supervisor said it’s not clear. He said because the meaning is definitely socioeconomic status, so he asked me to change it to “socioeconomic upgrade.”

A palindromic sequence is a nucleic acid sequence that reads the same no matter from the 5′ end of the sequence itself or from the 5′ end of its complementary strand. It has a potential to form a hairpin structure.

Writer’s text:
In DNA, when read on the 5¹ to 3¹ strand, a palindromic sequence will read the same backwards as forwards.11 For example, for the palindromic sequence 5¹AACGTT 3’, its complementary strand would be exactly the same in reverse when read from 3’ to 5’. When not attached to their complementary strands, palindromic sequences have a tendency to fold back on themselves to form hairpin loops.
Writer’s comment:
So because it was different from what I would expect from a palindrome in everyday English and I only found one paper and not very much in the textbook I didn’t know it was very widely used phrase to call something a palindrome in DNA. I thought it required a little bit more explanation.
