...sponsors of the conference included the Departments of Physics, Mathematics, Molecular and Cellular Biology, Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Psychology and Women's Studies; University Health Services; Kaplan; the Harvard College Observatory; the Institute of Politics; and the Ann Radcliffe Trust...
...advertising. Hardly a T-shirt in America exists without a logo or slogan emblazoned on it. The spaces in the T station and even in the bathrooms seem acceptable enough for advertising, but new "advances" seem to go too far. At last week's Ericsson Open (named for the cellular phone company) tennis tournament in Miami, the net was marked with a Mercedes-Benz symbol at each end. This was the first time I had seen this particular type of selling, though the behind-the-plate ads, both virtual and real, invaded televised baseball a few years ago. Examples abound...
When Britain's Cable & Wireless, which owned 54% of Hongkong Telecom, announced its intention to spin off non-core businesses like HKT, Richard realized that HKT had assets he could use. Chief among them: its broadband Internet service, which has 100,000 customers; its cellular-phone system and the potential of new, third-generation cellular technology to enable Internet access; and rights to a valuable deal signed by Murdoch's Star TV to provide television shows for HKT's broadband network. He eventually offered shareholders a package of shares and cash that could cost him $12 billion...
Muscles process oxygen through cellular components known as the mitochondria. Human mitochondria take up only about 3% of the space in a cell. But in animals that run the fastest, mitochondria are far bigger; the mitochondria of an antelope--an animal that easily runs a 2-min. mile and does so in wispy mountain air 7,000 ft. up--are three times larger than ours. "If you could genetically engineer humans to have more mitochondria, bigger hearts and more blood vessels," says Weyand, "we might run about 40 m.p.h...
...already developed a way to equip a benign virus with genetic material that codes for muscle growth, and they have injected the virus into mice. The animals quickly bulk up by as much as 20%, becoming not just bigger but stronger. The researchers have developed other techniques to block cellular signals that would otherwise cause muscles to atrophy, allowing the new mass to be retained even without exercise...
