The Affordable Comfort Housing Performance Association [ACHPA] was formed under Affordable Comfort, Inc. Over 125 ACHPA members in the US and Canada provide services which increase the comfort, health and safety, efficiency and durability of housing through the treatment of the house as a whole system. Despite the decline of federal, state and utility funding for energy efficiency programs -- there is considerable consumer and contractor interest in housing performance and energy efficiency. It is ACHPA's goal to use that interest to create a long term, consumer driven market for high quality housing performance services. 2, record 1, English, - housing%20performance

L'optimalisation des performances des ADN polymérases et l'utilisation judicieuse des caractéristiques propres à chacun permet, aujourd’hui, la synthèse de fragments d’ADN de plusieurs dizaines de milliers de paires de bases. De nouveaux champs d’application dans la pratique médicale s’ouvrent pour cette technique. L'étude de la structure des gènes, l'étude des génomes viraux ou des ADN mitochondriaux devraient s’en trouver facilitées. Par exemple, la PCR longue permet d’aborder les réarrangements de l'ADN mitochondrial sous un angle nouveau, tant qualitatif que quantitatif. 1, record 4, French, - PCR%20longue
