...before, I'd read in the Washington Post that on a single autumn Monday, 2,500 homing pigeons, competing in two completely different races in Virginia and Pennsylvania, had vanished into--well, into thin air. Some people, it almost goes without saying, blamed El Nino. Some people speculated that cellular phone activity had interfered with the electromagnetic fields that pigeons use to help them navigate. That theory led me to another theory: people who take great pleasure in shouting into their cellular phones as they walk down the street had finally shouted loudly enough to scare all birdlife senseless. Nobody...
Through a collaboration between the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, researchers were able to take a snapshot of a stage of the mechanism by which the enzyme reverse transcriptase (RT) works on a strand of viral DNA to make new copies...
...followed a year later by a demonstration flight carrying a Washington University cosmic-ray detector. Over the horizon Tueller sees more astronomy and astrophysics experiments as well as Earth monitoring, such as observing the ozone hole, and perhaps even semipermanent balloons to replace some of the cellular-phone towers dotting the landscape. Assuming, of course, there's any money left over from the space station...
Adhering to the mantra that simpler is better, cell phones and pagers have always had one primary function, respectively, but they got even better at it in 1998. The launch of Iridium's worldwide satellite paging and cellular-phone service was the flashiest advance, but the new low-cost calling plans (of just 10[cents] to 15[cents] a minute) on regular cell phones will do much more to increase their use. The Yankee Group predicts that these lower-priced calling plans will bump up average cell-phone usage, from three to five hours a month, by 2007. Pagers...
Upgrades have already been completed in the athletic area, with three new call boxes and three cellular phones on or near the fields...
