After nearly seven fitful years, the Dow Jones industrial average hit a new high last week. Long-term blue-chip-stock investors who bought in January 2000, when the Dow peaked at 11,723, were even at last. Time to break out the bubbly? Maybe. Then again, maybe...
...several thousand in total. Since genes have multiple control regions, the map indicates that approximately one thousand genes are influenced by the binding of estrogen to the ER, according to a statement released by Dana-Farber. The map itself was created through a novel technique known as ChIP on chip, which involves purifying regions of the genome that take orders directly from the ER, and placing the regions on microarray chips containing the complete human genome. This process allowed researchers to contrast the two sets of genetic information, and to see which genes are expressed as a result of interaction...
...made the digital photographs on a two-week tour of the Emerald Isle, during which he hauled some 60 pounds of equipment with him as he walked through Ireland’s lush landscape. The technique that Sullivan used to make the photographs is a complicated, exacting one. The chips found in all digital cameras are extremely sensitive to infrared radiation, Sullivan says. “They put an infrared blocking filter [in digital cameras]” he explains. “So what it does is prevent the infrared information from entering the chip...
...think we are. Most of the world lives in dire poverty. They don't really know a lot about security to begin with. Since 9/11, the most important thing to Americans is to be secure. This chip implanted in us causes people to shut down, isolate and think of themselves: "I'm going to take care of me. I'll worry about my group and my identity." Any vision of the world is sacrificed for that. We've seen it with the war in Iraq. The fear button gets pushed and everyone is like, "Let's go after Saddam Hussein...
...banking in the mid-1990s, bypassing all messy dealings with checks and other paper transactions. And the government has done its best to boost computer literacy, including running free two-day classes that have been attended by 100,000 people. It now issues national ID cards with a computer chip that contains the owner's digital signature. That enables Estonians to gain access to an ever growing range of electronic services, by networked computers and even mobile phones. Sitting in an Irish bar in Tartu, Jagomägi flicks at his phone and accesses the information provided by the school...
