Phosphorylation of the D1 Photosystem II Reaction Center Protein Is Controlled by an Endogenous Circadian Rhythm
Isabelle S. Booij-James, W. Mark Swegle, Marvin Edelman, and Autar K. Mattoo*
Vegetable Laboratory, The Henry A. Wallace Beltsville Agricultural Research Center-West, United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service, Beltsville, Maryland 20705-2350 (I.S.B.-J., M.S., A.K.M.); and Department of Plant Sciences, The Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot 76100, Israel (M.E.)
The light dependence of D1 phosphorylation is unique to higher plants, being constitutive in cyanobacteria and algae. In a photoautotrophic higher plant, Spirodela oligorrhiza, grown in greenhouse conditions under natural diurnal cycles of solar irradiation, the ratio of phosphorylated versus total D1 protein (D1-P index: [D1-P]/[D1] + [D1-P]) of photosystem II is shown to undergo reproducible diurnal oscillation. These oscillations were clearly out of phase with the period of maximum in light intensity. The timing of the D1-P index maximum was not affected by changes in temperature, the amount of D1 kinase activity present in the thylakoid membranes, the rate of D1 protein synthesis, or photoinhibition. However, when the dark period in a normal diurnal cycle was cut short artificially by transferring plants to continuous light conditions, the D1-P index timing shifted and reached a maximum within 4 to 5 h of light illumination. The resultant diurnal oscillation persisted for at least two cycles in continuous light, suggesting that the rhythm is endogenous (circadian) and is entrained by an external signal.

On the other hand, maybe a Beowulf cluster of sentient machines would achieve...
I'm pretty sure they'd go after the proxies and NAT machines-- if those-- before they worried about the browsers, MS or otherwise.
Would it be possible for an individual to sue MS under this law? One would lose
almost instantly, but it would be a sneakey way of mobalising MS legal department against
the law and establish some useful precident...
For example, a "lights on" command requires concious thought in order to get lights, and some linguistic processing.
I would agree that saying "lights on" could be arkward, but it seems to me that if you have
the tech to do voice recognition you also have the tech to set sensible lighting defaults so 90%
of the time you don't need to say or do anything.
If someone is in room and lighting is below X lumins turn on light
If someone is in room and TV is turned on lower lighting and close curtans
The funniest part of your post is realising that probably only half a dozen people on Slashdot know what the Goon Show was.
I wouldn't be so sure... the post got 5 moderation points (four funny, one Interesting) I'd guess that the funnys would be from Goon fans and more to the point Goon fans with Mod points which would suggest there are many more Goon fans without mod points
/wild estermate on/
if 5% Slashdoters have mod points at any given time that would imply say 80 fans plus many more who are mearly aware of the show...

I once heard they wanted have your fridge call for service before it fails. Sounds expensive to me.
Perhaps overkill for a fridge, but in my neck of the woods freezers hold
£4000+ worth of reagents and lots irreplacible samples. The typical domestic
chest freezer dosn't exactly hold smallchange either

Why aren't these two enzymes used in treatment of radiation exposure? Are they difficult to synthesize or unstable or something?
They can be made easily enough, its delevering them to the right place thats the problem.
Not
only would you have to get these massive proteins through the
Plasma Membrane
but also into the nucleus
where the DNA you want to protect is stored. This is hard enough to do with normal drugs which are typically about 500-1000 times smaller than proteins....
Nothing short of '.... and Luke woke up and realised it was all a horrible horrible dream'

The most accurate portrayal of a computer has to be when the little girl says: "I know this, this is UNIX" - Jurassic Park.

There are no answers only hyperlinks It would be pat to say '..and nothing has changed' but it has I would now write
There are many answers, and even more popups

Its a pity they didn't have realtime CGI scripting for the first two movies they may not have sucked quite so much
The War on Terror will not be a failure, it will inspire a whole new generation of terrorists to provide ample justification of Patriot act II and III

Now the theatrical release or FOTR is being remandered at about 10 pounds (in HMV) I'm very tempted to buy it!
I make that more like 19.5 (9 hours for the theatrical release, then 10.5 for the extended edition....)
