...mapping its geology and climate. Despite its small size (10 ft. tall; 2,300 lbs.), the spacecraft carries quite an instrument load, including magnetometers to measure magnetic fields, a laser altimeter that can gauge the height of surface features to within 30 ft., and optical cameras that can detect objects as small...
Experts say tiny amounts of testosterone applied in patches and via skin cream are difficult to detect but can measurably boost strength and speed in women. Moreover, reliable tests have yet to be developed for two popular performance-enhancing substances: human growth hormone and erythropoietin (EPO), which kicks up the oxygen level in the body. Human-growth- hormone doping is well known in the Netherlands, where Smith lives and trains: several cyclists have died from its complications in recent years...
...test to detect if PROSTATE CANCER has spread to other tissues has been recommended for approval by an FDA advisory panel. Called ProstaScint, it's six times as accurate as the CT scan and MRI imaging techniques used today...
...called black boxes (now actually colored bright orange): one that records the cockpit's communications with ground control and another that monitors the plane's vital functions. Given the sudden end of the flight, the second box may provide more useful data. Experts, however, may be able to detect the "signature sounds" of a bomb explosion on the cockpit voice recorder. Last week the sturdily armored recorders were still beneath the sea, but there were indications on Saturday that the steady beeps given off by the black boxes had been detected by sonar...
...development, and the only new scanning device certified by the FAA: the InVision CTX 5000, which combines computed tomography (CT scanning) and high-quality X-ray imaging to produce cross-sectional images of a bag's contents. The CTX 5000 is the only device available that is equipped to detect all varieties of bombs: military explosives that might be concealed behind a circuit board, like the bomb that brought Pan Am Flight 103 down; plastic-sheet explosives contained in suitcase linings; and commercial explosives that might be composed of dynamite and powders. The FAA has contributed $8 million to help...
