So if we use cloning to bring back species that are currently extinct, this suggests we may also be successful in re-introducing the cloned individuals to the wild.
The biggest contributing factor for 'instinctive' behaviour of offspring are the parents. The first condor offspring, although in captivity, had parents to count on to learn the skills for being a condor.
If you clone extinct species, it won't be the same, because the created organisms don't have the experience/'education' of the parents to learn from.
Maybe humans could take account for that job, but that will mean the species will be used to humans, which make the chance for survival smaller. Moreover, the species won't be as wild as it used to be, so we're creating a 'new' species.
He's convinced that 500 million children could achieve basic computer literacy over the next five years, if the Indian government put 100,000 Net-connected PCs..
This equals 1000 kids per computer per year, right? Do these kids have a good learning curve or are the learning goals set too low?
The mechanism already known to do this is quorum-sensing. Researchers didn't know any airborne agents used in such a process..
They're talking about thriving populations; one of the main purposes of quorum sensing in the regulation of population growth. If cells are thriving, it means they 'know' due to quorum sensing there is enough food and room to duplicate..
Let's say those microbes in the dish with antibiotics gets a 'duplicate'-signal, the effect could be stronger than the presence of antibiotics. Microbes can reduce the stress induced by antibiotics actively. In the end, they'll die unless they're resistant.
So if the 'multiply'-signal could induce multiplication instead of fighting the stress without a sufficient effect, the microbes in the antibiotic solution could just outrun the extinction effect by duplicating faster.
Could be a new airborne 'divide'-signal. Resistance-signals are VERY unlikely!

A lot of websites use a feedback system where users report whether they're satisfied with the results of a specific search. Couldn't this be the case? The only objectives in this case I could think of, would be the fact that the action is not performed by a user his/herself and the fact that this could be the first step to incorporation of worse 'feedback'-systems.
..to see whether I'm fooled by april.. Article doesn't seem very accurate: the oldest-known solar eclipse is for sure not this one.. We can calculate them back to way before human existence.
Couldn't it be grain circles? Those are for real!
Fetch me an anti-gravity cow and I'll be a happy man..
Not possible? Anti-gravity has been discovered just five minutes ago by me, mmkay?
oops, posted this on the 2nd of april.. Sorry folks!
In my humble opinion, it's not very surprising the towers collapsed. Just imagine: the impact of a plane will cause several floors to lose integrity.. If those collapse it will cause a cascade and forces on underlying floors will only increase.
I heard the towers were build to withstand a plane crashing in, but I think they were more concerned with (part of) the towers not flipping over in such a case.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as my knowledge goes, I thought both blackholes and the Bose-Einstein condensate are supported by/derived from Einsteins theories.. Isn't there some sort of compatibility between the two? I'm sure Einstein will have studied that, considering both phenomena have the same characteristics to an extend where they are both used to explain the same physical phenomenon..
As far as i can see, this has nothing to do with real evolution. You can compare it with lifestock: if you select ie cows for reproduction on the amount of milk produced per individual, you can say that the physiology of the offspring favors a high milk-yield somehow. The somehow consists of a slightly different gene somehow influencing milk production. For Antibiotics its even easier. For many of them, the effect on the microbe is known, degrading specific cell wall proteins for instance. It's not hard to conclude where the 'evolution' should take place to overcome the antibiotics effect.. To predict the exact location of a mutation to have effect is a little bit more difficult, but because most antibiotics have been studied extensively, the exact place shouldn't be too hard to find.
Conclusion: yes, it's a sort of evolution predicted, but it doesn't shed any light on predicting 'normal' evolution. That's a random process resulting in possible advantages spanning (thousands of) years, not an overnight process to overcome a factor that, until now, wasn't limiting for the survival of the species at all.
The important issue here is that pharmacologists have ways now to predict certain strategies by microbes to overcome the potential danger of an antibiotic.
Also, regardless of whether they use Linux, dumb terminals, or that Other Operating System, this would be a huge step forward for free speech and democracy.
This subject has been discussed previous. According to this article/discussion about E-mail censorship and this one about WWW-censorship, free speech on the internet (and democracy?) will take a little longer in China.
Last year, they became the first country to explicitly allow the creation of embryos as a source of stem cells.
In my opinion creation of embryos is equivalent to cloning of human beings. Cloning stem cells themselves is virtually impossible for now, since human cells are virtually impossible to culture, with HeLa-cells (and some other cancer cells) as an exception..
There are some kinky toads you might be interested in: bisexually reproducing triploid toads.. It's not the same as homosexual organisms, but you could speak of a potential evolutionary inhibiting factor here..
Who can argue with mother nature?!?
I'm no RAM expert, but couldn't this be some sort of trick by Intel? I've got an AMD myself and I like their style, but I think companies will always keep in mind what their competitors are doing. When Intel drops the support on RAMBUS, could it be possible AMD will adapt their research strategies because of this and focus on DDR or something like that?
Intel dropping support doesn't mean their dropping the technology as a whole. Maybe they're still researching cheaper/better implementations for Rambus and when they find them, milk out DDR some more, before going full blast with Rambus and leaving AMD behind.
Is any of this possible or is it better for me to quit watching the X-files?
Agreed. Euchromatin/heterochromatin transcription regulation is another factor that could be responsible for morphological as well as metabolical differences.
Availability of a gene is then depending on the structure of DNA itself.

Can't say that for the site. Guess I'm overreacting..

No results however..
