...data from six other labs, was compiled into a set of 3,000 heart attack patients and 3,000 controls. Researchers performed a million tests on each patient’s DNA for a total of 6 billion tests, said O’Donnell. The study used a gene chip developed by Altshuler’s team that can screen simultaneously for single problematic genetic locations and deletions of large chunks of DNA. When the data was processed through the chip, researches found nine single genetic locations, but no large deletions, to be associated with increased risk for early heart...
...been sharing the load: in each of its 12 wins this season, Harvard has had at least three scorers in double figures. Saturday night was no different: freshman point guard Brogan Berry led the way with 17 points, and sophomore guard Christine Matera came off the bench to chip in 16 points. Co-captain Niki Finelli and sophomore forward Emma Markley added 11 and 10, respectively. “All we’re looking for on any given night is seven or eight players,” Harvard coach Kathy Delaney-Smith said. “The way this...
...various CLIF and LUNA bars on Jan. 30, citing “concerns that the recalled bars contain peanut products that were manufactured by Peanut Corporation of America (PCA), which is the focus of an ongoing Salmonella investigation.” Clif’s Web site lists Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch bars with sell-by dates between Oct. 9, 2008 and Dec. 31, 2009 as one of their recalled selections. Bars of that variety with a sell-by date of July 25, 2009—well within the affected date range—remained on Lamont café shelves...
...These days, the DRAM business has entered into another destructive phase of the business cycle. Huge investments in new capacity in 2007 have created an oversupply of chips, while the global economic slowdown is drastically weakening demand for the slivers of silicon that go into computers, mobile phones, portable music players and a host of other consumer electronics products. The result has been plummeting prices. According to a price index compiled by research firm iSuppli, DRAM prices have plunged 48% in the past six months. That is good news for consumers - cheaper DRAMs mean electronics makers can pack more memory...
...DRAM makers won't significantly ease up anytime soon. Though prices may stabilize in the short term, iSuppli's Kim doesn't expect a meaningful recovery until the second half of 2009. That turnaround will likely be driven by a sharp reduction in new capacity. Kim expects investment in chip-making facilities to fall 63% in 2009 as cash-strapped manufacturers finally scale back. Until then, however, DRAM makers will be lucky to survive - at least until the next downturn...
