It's very hard to turn on a gene that has been mutated or deleted in cancer cells. You have to do it in practically every cell, otherwise, they grow back.
Right, which is why it'd have to be a built-in, like with the naked mole rats, rather than a plug-in. There are benefits to static linking!
The vibrational energies of molecules, e.g., a diatomic molecule, are quantized and treated as quantum harmonic oscillators. Quantum harmonic oscillators have equally spaced energy levels with separation DE = hu. So the oscillators can accept or lose energy only in discrete units of energy hu.
The evidence on the behavior of vibrational energy in periodic solids is that the collective vibrational modes can accept energy only in discrete amounts, and these quanta of energy have been labeled "phonons". Like the photons of electromagnetic energy, they obey Bose-Einstein statistics.
The idea is that the physics of sound can be quantized into wave packets. From wikipedia:
Phonons are a quantum mechanical version of a special type of vibrational motion, known as normal modes in classical mechanics, in which each part of a lattice oscillates with the same frequency. These normal modes are important because, according to a well-known result in classical mechanics, any arbitrary vibrational motion of a lattice can be considered as a superposition of normal modes with various frequencies (compare Fourier transform); in this sense, the normal modes are the elementary vibrations of the lattice. Although normal modes are wave-like phenomena in classical mechanics, they acquire certain particle-like properties when the lattice is analysed using quantum mechanics (see wave-particle duality.)
No offense to Armstrong, he has very large cajones, but I don't recall Neil jumping from orbit with the intention of landing on the earth with his own two legs.
These "local monopoles" described in the experiment are really just super-long dipoles, and though they have interesting properties
Talk about understatement of the year... sheesh... the whole point of this spin ice exercise is to show that the predicted behavior of monopoles (or monopole-like entities -- happy now?) match the data. And it does. Obviously this is not about studying natural monopoles in deep space or something. It's about "if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's a flippin' duck".
FTA... In their device, the core converts the absorbed light into heat... So, it is be reradiated out the bottom/top of the cylinder. Just one more reason why you are right to call it a waveguide, albeit a very advanced one.
Actually, I don't particularly like House. This particular episode wasn't too bad, though the billionaire character is terrible. The wife and older son are the real fans...
My wife and I were watching an episode of House recently where a billionaire dumped his stock in his company because he thought the karma would save his kid's life. I don't think any device would make a man with that level of conviction change his mind, though I imagine it might help prevent the last-minute-auction syndrome you tend to see on Ebay where a bidder ups a bid past the Buy-it-now price of the same item from another seller. It's irrational, but it happens all the time.
I believe the only way forward is for browsers to change the model: associate a certificate SKI with a web site on first visit, warn if that changes. Don't worry about certificate validity, since the hierarchical trust model has been compromised from the root.
How about making your URL bar turn green if you have a cert from a real CA? The browser vendors could get together and say "look if you want the green bar treatment, you have to go through this official CA process with real vetting." That way, null certs from crappy CAs won't get green-barred, even if the URL itself is correct.
The only time I've ever noticed 60 vs 120 was watching a fast-paced video on both. It just looks "cleaner" on the 120. I don't see how anyone could ever need 240. That's just marketing BS.
Obviously you don't live where there's a lot of hail damage. The only reason we get long warranties in central Texas is because the insurance company uses that warranty as the basis for their depreciation of the roof. You will not have your roof for 20+ years. It will be replaced in that timeframe time and time again. However, with labor costs increasing yearly, it makes more sense to buy a 30 year shingle so that the depreciation won't outpace the replacement cost (zero out of pocket).
Coupled that with the fact that girls with a higher fat content in their diet will reach sexual maturity faster, fat people could start reproducing in their early to mid teens.
