Many blame California's woes on the profit-mongering generators themselves, for colluding to drive up the price of electricity, a charge they vehemently deny. The Federal Government, which recently forced generators to keep selling power to the utilities despite their precarious balance sheet, could impose a wholesale-price cap. But that might discourage much-needed investment in new plants and transmission lines. California might allow the utilities to raise cash by issuing bonds that customers would pay for over time, or form its own power authority to build new plants...
Then Zeus transfers each precious droplet to a nearby sheet of nylon, moistens a designated spot and pivots back to the glass plates to find the next sample on its list. When Zeus is done, the nylon sheet will be spotted with a grid of about 1,000 droplets, forming what researchers call a microarray. Once the machine has created a few dozen of these arrays, they will be rolled up, inserted into glass tubes and doused with radioactive dye and genetic material from a range of human tissue types--from normal, healthy cells to diseased cells representing breast, prostate...
...gene in the double-stranded DNA molecule are separated, each can readily pick its partner out of a crowd of similar molecules. In a typical microarray, thousands of single-stranded gene fragments are fastened to a platform--usually a silicon or glass wafer but sometimes a nylon sheet. The finished assemblage can be as small as a postage stamp. Its purpose is to answer, as comprehensively as possible, what it is that makes one cell different from any other...
However, the Crimson (6-7-1, 5-3-1 ECAC) did not succumb quietly to the Tigers. Facing high altitudes out west, an Olympic-sized sheet and a handful of injuries, the Crimson's battered and beleaguered squad hung with Colorado during both games...
However, it didn't appear that the high altitudes and Olympic sheet had many adverse effects on the Crimson's efforts...
