...joint project with the Harvard Medical School to find new means of combatting cancer. For four years, at both Boston and Monsanto's campus-like home in suburban St. Louis, scientists from the college and the company have been unwinding the secrets of "molecular messengers," which control the growth of tumors. Besides money, Monsanto, like many another firm, has quite a bit of technical expertise to offer. Says Hanley: "We can, in fact, bring something to the party...
...seemed on Derby day. Franklin broke the colt cleanly from the gate, then held him under firm control through the clubhouse turn. In the backstretch, he took Spectacular Bid to the outside, avoiding the tight traffic near the rail. When Flying Paster moved up inside on the far turn, Franklin held his ground.

...MOST COMMONLY-USED model in applications is the "cusp," a three-dimensional structure dependent upon two variables or "control factors" with a third dimension, the "behavior axis," displaying the subject's reaction to these two factors...
...accompanying diagram consider a point constrained to move along the surface subject to the value of both variables. A change in either control factor from (a) to (b), (a) to (c) or (b) to (e) produce only a continuous change in behavior, represented by a gradual rise or fall along the vertical axis. An increase in factor 2 from (c) to (d), however, results in a sudden drop to (a) on the surface below, once the point crossed the edge of the fold at (d). This dramatic plunge is a catastrophe and signifies a discontinuous "jump" in behavior from...
