- 3781: UFO Sightings
- ... great public interest, the scientific community has shown remarkably little interest in this topic." Asked about the conclusions, a sampling of scientists and officials outside the panel expressed surprise that a topic with such a high "giggle factor" might be reincarnated for serious study, possibly further blurring the lines between legitimate research and the "lunatic fringe." Some said they would never comment on the touchy topic, and some said they would ... read the report and become curious. . . . The challenge is to do good science on this issue. It's difficult." Some reported UFO incidents could have been caused by rare natural phenomena, such as electrical activity high above thunderstorms, or other known physical effects, the panel found. But there were some phenomena they could not easily explain. The existing evidence from past cases is unlikely to produce either a solid debunking or ... witnesses. Burns, or sensations of heat, and eye problems are the most frequently reported forms. The available evidence, though sparse, suggests microwave, infrared, visible and ultraviolet radiation, although "a few cases seem to point toward high doses of ionizing radiation, such as X-rays or gamma rays." Radar detections of UFOs. Scientific study would require the cooperation of military authorities. An example occurred in January 1994, in the skies above ...
- 3782: Alan Turing
- ... in chemistry experiments. Later he went on to other areas of science.

But in 1926, Alan was granted admittance to the public school. However, after a short while the Headmaster reported to his mother that if Alan was solely a scientific specialist, that he was wasting his time. Many other teachers also felt the same was as the ... thesis through work that extended his original ideas, Ordinal Logic. When he returned to England in 1938, he was called on the outbreak of World War II, to serve at the Government Code and Cypher School. It was there that Turing was able to crack the German Enigma code, an effort which was central in the defeat of Nazi Germany. Yet Turing was better known for his Turing Machine . His ...

- ... mercantile system s limits on free trade. All three aspects are woven together to create a unified social theory.

For some reason they always understood the classes specially, mathematics even thought the other students sometimes did not understand. Whenever they always understood the material of the class the did not care and spend hours ... surely that is not love. To love is that extraordinary feeling of affection without asking anything in return. You may be very clever, you may pass all your examinations, get a doctorate and achieve a high position, but if you do not have this sensitivity; this feeling of simple love, your heart would be empty and you would be miserable for the rest of your life (116). I can not imagine ...
- 3787: Properties of Water
- ... energy as you need to warm one gram of most other fluids by the same amount. This makes water much better for regulating the temperatures of animals and the environment. Water also has a very high heat of vaporization. Converting one gram of cold water into ice requires 80 Calories of energy. Converting the same amount of very hot water into steam requires 540. The high amounts of energy required to change water from its liquid state make water tend to stay a fluid. The process of freezing water involves slowing down the activity of the water molecules until they contract ... Gk. Osmo, pushing] is defined by the Sylvia Mader textbook as ³ the diffusion of water across a differentially permeable membrane². This process is caused by a fluid attempting to seek equilibrium by going from a high pressure situation into a lower pressure one. This pressure that causes this operation is known as osmotic pressure. Another interesting state that water can be in is that of an isotonic solution. These are ...
- 3788: Prions
- ... the dogma of the beginning of live a radical turn. Prions have been in research for many years with experiments like the one done by Stanley B. Pruiser and his team of scientists at the School of Medicine of the University of California at San Francisco in which a study was carried out on mice to see if he was able to purify the scrapie agent ,another prion disease, in mice ... be “protease sensitive”and PrPsc is “relatively resistant to proteases” (thats one difference). Also by boiling a prion solution in “sodium dodecyl sulfate” (SDS) the infectivity was reduced as the protein was denatured. Finally, extremely high doses of radiation inactivated the scrapie agent but this was not a good solution. How do Prions infect? There is a theory proposed by the scientists of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ...

- 3790: New Developments or Research in Genetic Cloning: Summary
- ... able to produce ethanol from pentose sugars and hexose sugars. July 1993: Morphine Receptor Cloned In July, 1993, a team led by Dr. Lei Yu, associate professor of medical and molecular genetics at Indiana University School of Medicine, decoded the amino acid sequence for the morphine receptor that is located on the surface of nerve cells. The group isolated the sequence from a rat brain cDNA library, and since homology between the rat and human sequence is expected to be high, Dr. Yu performed straightforward biological technique5 to isolate the human sequence from the genome. The most promising application of this work will be the ability to design new analgesics that are more potent than morphine ...
