Scientists can now observe protein production real-time inside individual cells, according to research conducted by Harvard professor X. Sunney Xie. This study, the results of which were published last week in the journals Science and Nature, represents a breakthrough in protein-imaging technology and confirms some long-held speculations about the process protein synthesis, according to the researchers. Now, as a result of his research, “we can probe the fundamental biochemical interactions in living cells with the ultimate sensitivity, sensitivity not possible with previous technology,” said Xie, professor of chemistry and chemical biology...
...several locations where Mladic had hidden, and the senior security official says that 30 active or "recently retired" security officers involved in protecting Mladic have been identified. Others are skeptical of such claims. Kandic, the human-rights investigator, says Serbia may never hand over Mladic, since his testimony might confirm Serb guilt for crimes during the Bosnian war. Draskovic, who escaped two assassination attempts during Milosevic's time in power, says he is unimpressed by the efforts of the security services. "Either they are protecting Mladic," he says, "or they are incompetent." Still, Serbia's efforts to shake...
...Even though the big flyway maps look like they overlap, the birds themselves don't," says Dr. William Karesh, director of the field veterinary program of the Wildlife Conservation Society. Gene studies of avian-flu strains from the past 30 years seem to confirm that, with no evident commingling among the viruses. "The birds of the New World and the birds of the Old World don't share their viruses," Karesh says. "That doesn't mean it's impossible. That would be irresponsible. But it doesn't happen normally...
...little confused. His answers were shorter, and he said "sir" without the edge. For most of his testimony, he meticiously read every document that Petrocelli handed him. By the afternoon of his second day of cross-examination, when Petrocelli offered several more documents to review and confirm, Fastow asked, ?Can I just say I believe you and accept...
...involving ship husbanding. As a result of that review, the Navy took several steps to increase the security of ships in foreign ports, but maintained its system of contracting. ?We've been doing business in the Persian Gulf for 60 years,? says a Navy official who was unable to confirm the details of the ISS contract. Moreover, Dubai is considered one of the best-equipped ports for the Navy-it?s also a crucial logistical base for operations in the region, including those in Iraq and Afghanistan...
