...development of a highly accurate test for the Huntington's gene. She is president of the Hereditary Disease Foundation and chairs a key advisory group of the $3 billion Human Genome Project, which is attempting to identify all of the more than 100,000 human genes and pinpoint their locations on the 46 chromosomes. As a clinical psychologist at Columbia University, she conducts research and counsels people suffering from Huntington...
...telling us here is that "Black" and "African American" are merely political distinctions, with no scholarly consequence; that to specify race is to specify "social criticism"; and that a course about presumably contemporary authors (his presumption) is so ambiguous as a truly "Core" necessity that we can't even pinpoint the dates and must rely on a mere "or So" to describe the period...
...might remain. But it would be next to impossible to lug the necessary gear up the mountain, and Vietnam's Soviet-built helicopters are too large and unreliable to risk setting down in that treacherous terrain. Another joint team visited the area last month to see if they could pinpoint the gravesites. The U.S. side took its findings back to Hawaii and Texas for further investigation...
...this inconclusive game, the teams exhibited contrasting, if inconsistent, styles. The strong Big Green players pushed Harvard off the puck and exploded for some incredible individual efforts, including two short-handed goals. Dartmouth is a team of pinpoint passers and sharpshooters and it found every miniscule hole left by Villiotte...
...extraordinary instruments probe surfaces with a metallic tip only a few atoms wide. At very short distances, electrons can traverse the gap between the tip and the surface, a phenomenon known as tunneling. This generates a tiny current that can be used to move atoms and molecules around with pinpoint precision. Thus last year physicists from IBM's Almaden Research Center manipulated 35 xenon atoms on a nickel surface to spell out their company's logo. They have also fashioned seven atoms into a minuscule beaker in which they can observe chemical reactions at an atomic level, and they devised...
