How 6 Foot DNA is Packed in a Molecule & DNA Replication Machine

April 4th, 2005 Steven Rosen wrote an interesting article on the dangers of diabetic foot problems and the need to regularly visually inspect your feet.

May 2nd, 2005 Nobel science prizes will face a "more daring" rival from 2008 with $1 million awards for research into everything from the "big bang" to the brain, a Norwegian-born philanthropist said on Monday. Fred Kavli, a physicist who left Norway in 1955 with $300 and turned it into a $340 million fortune in California, said he was setting up three prizes for astrophysics, neuroscience and nanotechnology -- the use of molecule-sized devices.

May 30th, 2005 The Moscow chemists have found a way to deliver insulin in pills instead of injections.

July 21st, 2006 Japanese roboticist Hiroshi Ishiguro created a robot clone of himself. His incredibly lifelike mechanical double, "Geminoid HI-1," sometimes takes his place in meetings and classes.

April 13th, 2005 San Francisco emerged as the early front-runner to land California’s new $3 billion stem cell headquarters after its incentive-laden bid scored the highest marks among the four cities named to a short list of contenders. The institute plans to build at least a 17,000-square-foot office with a maximum of 50 employees who will help dole out nearly $300 million in research grants annually.

April 22nd, 2005 According to recent statistics published in the Nature (cited by Thomas A. Steitz, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at Yale University), hospitals in the United States see about two million cases of antibiotic-resistant infections each year; 90,000 patients die annually from such infections.

September 8th, 2005 Researchers at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangdong, China, and Intradigm in Maryland, have reported the first successful use of Interfering RNA (siRNA) against the viral respiratory disease SARS, in primates (Nature Medicine, DOI: 10.1038/nm1280). Two siRNA sequences that matched bits of the SARS virus genome largely protected macaques against SARS when given as nasal sprays shortly before, or four hours after, infection.

June 1st, 2005 With supplemental oxygen, Will Cross, 37 became the first person with type 1 diabetes to reach the South Summit of Mt. Everest. That put him just shy of the top of the 29,029-foot mountain.

March 10th, 2006 Blood-red colored rain fell over Kerala on July 25, 2001. It continued for two months, raining crimson, turning clothes pink, burning leaves on trees.

January 8th, 2007 An electronic vote-counting machine in Schaerbeek, a suburb of Brussels, declared that 4096 more people had cast their vote than the ballot slips testified. The machine had been thoroughly tested and deemed perfect.

August 10th, 2006 Seymour Cray, the father of the supercomputer, died recently aged 71, following a car crash. He was one of the most original computer designers the world has ever seen, and a true maverick.

March 15th, 2006 One of the world's most powerful supercomputers has simulated a moment in the life of a real virus. The simulation is the first to capture a whole biological organism in such intricate molecular detail.

May 20th, 2005 One of the most advanced eye correction technologies (LASIK) - which eliminates or reduces dependency on glasses - is now available in Kenya. The laser refractive surgery (known in USA as LASIK) means that people using glasses to correct eyesight can resort to their naked eyes once again and for life.

March 23rd, 2006 Overview This is a detailed project proposal along with software system architecture which will give you a clear understanding of the hardware requirements and software design required to automate temperature tracking in Hospitals and other buildings. This shows a highly scalable, low-cost architecture using low-cost temperature sensors from Dallas Semiconductor.

September 11th, 2007 I have tried several HTML Editors over the years. One of the earliest WYSIWYG HTML editor I used was Netscape Gold / Composer, which was quite basic but probably the only one at that time (1995).
