  1. This is the Bayer literature for the injectable version: Medical Use of Radium-223 Chloride,Advisory Committee on the Medical Uses of Isotopes PDF Download It melts at 900oC.
  2. You can bet your life, if the technology even existed to do that, the BASE jumper nutters would be on it!
  3. The UK is getting the F35B Lightning variant which is VTOL. for use on their new aircraft carriers.
  4. "Bio" and "Organic", within the definition, and requirements to qualify as such, of the EEC are the same. Member countries use one or the other, as is their tradition. If a product contains both names ii is so any member can understand and is likely simultaneously sold in different markets that use either description. "Eco" is another one that has similar requirements.
  5. This is mostly from my own, possibly faulty, memory but it occurred to me that UK people tend to talk of "keeping the peace" or "maintaining law and order", whereas the US uses "enforce the law" a lot. Do you think this reveals a difference in attitude?
  6. I understand now, cheers. Of course, I'm assuming all along the OP's interpretation is correct but may not be so.
  7. I'm a bit lost on the 'extracellular' part - I know what it means but are they actively utilising the pectinase? What I'm finding confounding with the OP is the apples are cooked, so the enzyme is denatured before it reaches the gut flora.
  8. Oligosaccharides is one of the nutrients lower gut bacteria feeds on, I read somewhere, and is mentioned here: Contrary what I posted before, the apples want to be very ripe, then cooked to maximise the available bacterial nutrients, don't they?
  9. Yes, a policeman's job is to keep the peace, not push it over the top.
  10. Let the two argue between themselves about who is the original. The original would have to have information that the clone doesn't know about the past.
  11. Yes, we both agree it's not metaphysical. Like i said, I need to think a bit more time to explain myself better.
  12. It could have been used in CSE. I did GCE and CSE.
  13. That is the point of the divergence in opinion. All I've got offer from here is to belittle you, insult you for your ignorance and lack of vision! It's one I shall no doubt ponder a while and try to learn to elucidate better, as well as critique what I think know.
  14. I've seen homework questions for teenagers and younger and they may as well be in a foreign language for all I understand. Is this what it's like to get older?
  15. I don't feel I can add any more to this interesting conversation, only reassert what I've already said. I don't want to keep repeating myself, but in different words, so I'll just watch from hereon.
  16. The question author was being explicit that ratios or numbers were not relevant in order to, hopefully, avoid any confusion but, alas, it didn't work with you.
  17. The other useful thing, I think, from this analogy is that the 2D surface represents a boundless but finite space.
  18. I think you can extrapolate useful information on the level of cognition against language ability by studying the development of deaf children vs normal hearing children. I'm a life-long severely deaf 53 year old, so this has been of some interest to me. The long-and-short of my literary meanderings is that , yes, lack of language is a barrier to utilising ones cognitive and social-interactive ability to it's full potential. Language creates a coherent and stable structure for the brain to properly organise and retrieve information. It improves the ability to learn and retain what is learnt.
  19. No, of course not. The doll is Me + Time since copied.
  20. Yes, definitely. The right to bear arms has to be repealed first... and pigs will fly before then.
  21. I honestly think the only answer is the British model of unarmed officers and units of weapons-trained officers to support them.when necessary. If you look at the British armed-officers, they act the same as an American officer; they are trained to shoot-to-kill. If every British police officer was armed, I have a strong feeling the police fatality statistics would eventually line up with America's; a gun in hand is the quickest, most convenient "solution" to any confrontation". It takes less effort on the part of the armed officer.
  22. So, you'd want apples that have both? Can the human body use the products that pectinase makes?
  23. Absolutely. As time passes we seem to increase our autonomy from Nature but I think we'll always be dependent on it.
  24. Porridge is prebiotic as well apparently, according to this Naked Scientists article... it gives you a rundown of some of the major bacteria in each part of the digestive system and an appreciation of the part they play in our health. You want to use cooking apples or unripe-ish eating apples because the too- ripe fruit has pectinase in it which degrades the pectin.
