...powers of the human brain. For years, artificial-intelligence researchers have gained some of their most useful insights from experts in brain function. And today the biological sciences are making similar contributions to all sorts of technologies useful to business, from software that "grows," "heals" and "reproduces" to tiny carbon tubes that will allow computer transistors to shrink to atomic dimensions even as they grow more powerful...
...ratify the protocol would cost us jobs and damage our industry," he told Parliament in Canberra. The protocol requires greenhouse gas emissions to be cut back to 1990 levels. Howard says Australia will ratify the agreement if the U.S., which produces 36% of the world's carbon emissions, also signs. GALAPAGOS ISLANDS Enduring Damage After the oil tanker Jessica ran aground on San Cristobal in January 2001, scientists thought that the Galapagos Islands' wildlife had had a lucky escape. But researchers now believe that marine iguanas, which are unique to the islands, are particularly vulnerable to pollution and that...
...different opinions on what constitutes best of show. Nonetheless, Williams came back with some winners. Universally loved was the tree-branch chandelier designed by Tord Boontje using Swarovski crystal. Williams selected only one of Milan's reissues: the "bad-tempered chair," designed by Ron Arad and made of carbon fiber by Vitra, was originally launched by Vitra as the "well-tempered" chair and made of stainless steel in the 1987. Also of interest at the V&A is the section titled "One Designer's Fair," a look at a variety of items by Dutch designer Marcel Wanders, including a patterned...
...alcohol alone); those involved in learning, memory and stress response; those that integrate the cognitive functions; and the reward center of the brain. Moreover, one marijuana cigarette is akin to four tobacco cigarettes in terms of the amount of tar, five tobacco cigarettes in terms of the amount of carbon monoxide intake and ten tobacco cigarettes with respect to the amount of damage to the airways. It is no wonder that half of teens and adolescents in substance abuse treatment are there for marijuana only. The current scientific consensus is that marijuana is not a benign drug. Solid social...
Bottom line? They're my children, and I love them all, but it's still Leatherman by a needle nose. Why? Better engineering. The parts fit perfectly, the locking mechanism is simple but effective, and the blades are top-quality high-carbon steel--the saw really saws, and I know from experience that the blades hold their edges over time. So when the unexpected comes along, you'll be prepared, diamond-coated file, wire stripper and lanyard attachment at the ready. Batman always is. Hey, we all have dreams...
