- 3581: Satellites
- ... did not work alone, he was also in partnership with a Russian theorist named Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. Tsiolkovsky was born on September 7, 1857. As a child Tsiolkovsky educated himself and rose to become a High School teacher of mathematics in the small town of Kaluga, 145km (90mi) south of Moscow. In his early years Tsiolkovsky caught scarlet fever and became 80% deaf. Together, the theoretical work of Russian Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and ...
- 3582: Astronomy And Space Science: Your Bones in Space
- ... opinion of many the problem of osteoporosis on earth and hypogravity will be solved or contained, and once large rotating structures are built the problem will become academic. For completeness sake: Dr. Graveline, at the School of Aerospace Medicine, raised a litter of mice on a animal centrifuge simulating 2G and compared them with a litter mates raised in 1G. "They were Herculean in their build, and unusually strong...." reported Dr ...
- 3583: Genetic Engineering: Correcting the Code
- ... insertions remain risky, but if the glitches can be ironed out the technique could be used to eradicate genetic diseases (Fackleman 356). Gene therapy also aides in infertility in men. At the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, researchers have transferred germ cells from virile mice to testes of infertile mice. The cells matured to form sperm and in some cases the recipients fathered offspring. In a second test, sperm ...
- 3584: Darwinism: The Theory That Shook The World
- ... insects (Campbell p 424). His father, although noting his son's interest in nature, felt that all the discoveries of the natural branch of science had been accomplished so he sent his son to medical school at Edinburgh instead (Bowler p 62). While Darwin was there, he could not keep his mind on his medical studies and decided to go and study at the University of Cambridge and become a clergyman ...
- 3585: 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 ...
- 3586: 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 ...
- 3587: The Language of The Cell
- ... a neuroendocrine reflex. It is interesting to note how a thermostat can be related to a neuroendocrine reflex. Home device ideas taken from bodily functions may turn out to be a useful tool in the school curriculum. Students could relate various abstract concepts to everyday household devices. Their is an old question of the relation between the simplicity and complexity in biology. During the course of evolution, rules about the theory ...
- 3588: Genetic Observations Through The Studies of Hybrid Corn, Single Gene Human Traits, and Fruit Flies

- 3589: Genetic Engineering, History and Future: Altering the Face of Science
- ... natural counterparts" (Davis, Rouche 70). In fact the RAC reports that "there has not been a single case of illness or harm caused by recombinant [engineered] bacteria, and they now are used safely in high school experiments" (Davis, Rouche 69). Scientists have also devised other methods of preventing bacteria from escaping their labs, such as modifying the bacteria so that it will die if it is removed from the laboratory environment ...
- 3590: Jesse Louis Jackson
- ... middle class family; even though his family was criticized, Jackson is now a national figure. In 1957, his stepfather, a postal worker, adopted him as his own son. Reverend Jackson finished tenth in his high school class and was awarded a football scholarship to the University of Illinois. Later, he left U. I. And enrolled in North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College in Greensburo. There he became class president and the ...
