The threat was laid out in his Presidential Daily Brief (PDB), the specialized morning readout that winnows down mountains of raw data into a "finished intelligence" report and is one of the most important of the intelligence community's products...
...personalized medicine,” offer a range of benefits over current treatments: more precise doses of potentially toxic drugs, better research into new drugs, and lower health care costs, according to a Mayo Clinic brief. And research into personalized treatments would accelerate if every individual possessed a readout of their...
...tools a pharmaceutical gumshoe has are the mass spectrometer and the gas chromatographer. With the help of this hardware, an unknown substance can be burned at high temperature and the gas that results can be channeled into a sensor, through which the molecules stream in order of size. A readout then lists their weight and concentration. Using this information, the scientists create a blueprint of the chemical as a whole. "At the end of two months," says Catlin, "we were able to draw what we thought...
...high-intensity oven--where it's vaporized. The resulting gas is funneled into a coil-shaped structure lined with chemicals that cause the components in the gas to exit at different rates. These components are then sorted by atomic weight and converted into a graph. Investigators then compare the readout with a reference library, determining what the evidence is made...
...This week another European delegation heads for Washington to get a readout on what Alden Meyer of the Union of Concerned Scientists called "the most anti-environmental act by an American President in modern history." By the time they arrive, the Bush Administration will at least have had plenty of practice -if scant success -in explaining its position.
