    DNA THE "SECRET OF LIFE"
    April 25, 1953 - England

    Two Cambridge University scientists "James D Watson and Francis Crick" publish an article in Nature Magazine explaining the structure of DNA and that DNA is the material that makes up genes which pass hereditary characteristics in all life from one parent to another. They conclude that it consists of a double helix of two strands coiled around each other and could even be considered the "secret of life".

    HUMAN GENOME PROJECT
    April 25, 2003 - USA, China, France, Germany, Japan, United Kingdom

    The Human Genome Project to determine the sequence of chemical base pairs which make up DNA of the human genome consisting of 20,000-25,000 genes started in 1990 is published. The project started in the US with James D. Watson who was head of the National Center for Human Genome Research at the National Institutes of Health but over the next 10 years geneticists in China, France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom all worked together on the project helping the project end two years earlier than planned. One of the most important aspects of this research is it available to available to anyone on the Internet and not owned or controlled by any one company or government.

ARTICLE INFORMATION :

The article concentrated upon technological advances that favourably influenced the efficacy of office work, and features a PDF splitting software package as one of the solutions to document handling.

ARTICLE CONTENT :

We live in the time of fast development. Because of the recent technical advances in the IT sphere, office work is no longer the same as it used to be several years ago, with piles of paper documents here and there around the office. Documents, undeniably, adversely impacted on the efficacy of a firm and it took office staff a good deal of time and effort to manage them. At present the days of paper-cluttered offices are gone. There are no more 'in' and 'out' boxes piled up with paper files. Everything is now computerised and kept in the form of a database.

No wonder that advanced software programmes are introduced daily to optimise the office work. These up-to-date programmes do not only do work much quicker, but also much easier. Most files are stored in the PDF format, since it has got plenty of benefits over others. PDF files are smaller and can be protected with encryption and password security tools. The PDF application is a compatible format. As a consequence, a user can share and get data from colleagues efficiently.

PDF files can range from a single-page file to more composite files, such as brochures, information sheets, white papers and technical instructions, some containing hundreds of pages, which makes them hard to handle. Now and then, you may wish to print or e-mail a couple of pages from a PDF document or to extract several pages into a new PDF papers leaving the master file intact. A solution is to use a PDF splitter software package. This kind of software is user-friendly. It allows you to select your master (or input) PDF document and apply a splitting pattern to obtain the output document(s).

Some advanced software packages include a customised splitting option, similar to Word printing pattern. Here is an example: 1,2,3; 1-5,3; 4-5. This will result in three output files. The first one will include pages number 1, 2 and 3. The second PDF file will have pages one to five and page three. The third one will include only pages four and five. It takes a few mouse clicks to extract pages from PDF documents and does not need expertise. A step-by-step direction is provided by manufacturers.
