Abstract: Methods for detecting length polymorphisms in a DNA sample are provided. The methods include steps of amplifying a target region of the DNA in the sample, wherein the DNA sample is diluted prior to the amplifying step to provide a plurality of amplified samples in which 0 or 1 target DNA strand is amplified in each amplified sample and wherein at least one amplified sample includes 1 target DNA strand; depositing the plurality of amplified samples onto a surface; imaging the plurality of amplified samples deposited on the surface using atomic force microscopy (AFM) to determine an amplicon length distribution; comparing the amplicon length distribution to a corresponding amplicon length distribution obtained from a reference DNA sample that does not contain a length polymorphism in the target region; and detecting a length polymorphism in the target region of the DNA sample when the amplicon length distribution is distinct from the corresponding amplicon length distribution.

Abstract: A stair stringer may include a body. The body may include a horizontal arm, a center angled portion coupled to the horizontal arm, and a vertical arm coupled to the center angled portion. The stair stringer may also include a first appendage coupled to a first edge of the horizontal arm, a second appendage coupled to a second edge of the horizontal arm, a third appendage coupled to a third edge of the vertical arm, and a fourth appendage coupled to a fourth edge of the vertical arm. The fourth edge may be adjacent the third edge. The first appendage, the second appendage, and the third appendage are parallel with respect to one another. A stairway system may include a first stair stringer and a second stair stringer. The second stair stringer may be an architectural chiral with respect to the first stair stringer.

Abstract: A training apparatus for baseball training includes a base and training attachments that may be attached to the base to allow a user to practice a variety of training techniques. The base may be modular so that it has an adjustable width and disassembles into separate components. At least one training attachment is designed to train a batter to properly incorporate thrust into a swinging motion when swinging a baseball bat. The attachment has a pivotally mounted member with a contact element attached to the top end of the member. The member pivots forward and downward when the user's knee contacts the contact element when properly executing a swinging motion. Thus, the training attachment provides direct and immediate feedback to the user regarding the user's batting form. Other training attachments may be used for hitting balls and for pitching to targets strategically placed around a strike zone.
