Hi all! I have a question. I read a paper a while ago where some ferrets has the visual part of their brain destroyed but their eyesight seemed to be restored by hooking the nerves to the sound center of the brain, the part that processes sounds from the ears. My question is this: To what extent can this occur and also does that mean that the sences are interchangable in that one can become the other under the right circumstances? Discussions and contributions please Cheers, Ryan Jones

Woo, I have the same as woelen... I was never rable to get an adaptor to make the gas bottles work correctly with the burners so i gave up and went for a simple burner and it works sweet Not everyone is clever enough to make one YT2095 (Me especially) Cheers, Ryan Jones

Could the next level of computer technology be just over the horizon? An international research team think they have identified something that acts as a one way electrical valve, a diode... the only difference is that its a single molecule! Diodes are the logical "gates" that make a [acr=Central Processing Unit]CPU[/acr] work, if we can make these smaller then we can make the [acr=Central Processing Unit]CPU[/acr] its self much smaller. Could this lead to the next generation of ultra-fast and microscopic computers? Only time will tell. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/04/060403230648.htm - Ryan Jones

Not shure how much help this will be but something here may be what your looking for Cheers, Ryan Jones

Good science shops have them and so do science supply stores Also, try E-bay - you can get just about anything from there. Cheers, Ryan Jones

Heres a hint, think about the what hardware can do that software can't. This will give you a starting point for an answer Cheers, Ryan Jones

Well yes it does decompose it: [ce]2H2O2 ->[MnO_2] 2H2O + O2[/ce] So the only reason there should be some left is that all the hydrogen peroxide has been deduced and so there is excess manganese dioxide. This may prove interesting for you. Not quite the same but its an interesting video Cheers, Ryan Jones

Just about everything catalyses hydrogen peroxide, silver does and iron does too... never actually tried it with Mn so I don't really know but I'm guessing it would... Cheers, Ryan Jones

Umm would'nt Manganese simply catalyse the decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide? Cheers, Ryan Jones

Thats what I meant, its eats it metaphorically afteralllwhy would it eat something it has no use for (when takes in its literal context I mean). Cheers, Ryan Jones

I am confused - is the hydrogen an aqueous solution, part of an acid...? The L there states its in its liquid state so I really don't understand. Cheers, Ryan Jones

This may prove a good starting place for you Cheers, Ryan Jones

Last time I checked they did. I also use them and their service is 1st class, can't fault them on their speed and reliability I used the mercury and phosphorus for my collection and I have some spare for experiments too. Cheers, Ryan Jones

If you ask em people with common sence have more to worry about when waking down the street than doing experiments. In the end knowledge and preperation are the keys to everything - without those even the simplest of tasks could and probably would be fatal. Risk is a part of life, to what degree depends on the person I agree 100% with what woelen said there... Cheers, Ryan Jones

I agree with that. The only time they would ever try to extract say gold from sea water would be if the supplies on the land ran out. Seeing as that will not happen soon we don't have a lot of hope for seeing this. Cheers, Ryan Jones

Thats nuts - bacteria that eat nuclear waste, what next? In the end its not going to make the problem go away, the radiation will still be there. We need to find a real way to contain the waste... a small black hole outside the solar system would be brilliant for this job but I can't really see a way to get rid of the radiation with our technology, we are limited to locking it away for millions of years. Good find, a very interesitng article! Cheers, Ryan Jones

Good idea. I second this one. Cheers, Ryan Jones

Is you have Firefox then get greasmonkey and have it redirect the domain here Cheers, Ryan Jones

Same as always' date=' they don't have neurons to receive signals from the brain so it must be via chemical messages from either the host cell or other cells [b']Other research:[/b] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysosome Cheers, Ryan Jones

1) Money, its cheaper to make the yeast then to build equiptment to force gas into the bread as its forming. 2) Even distribution, it can be mixed in and will spread out evenly through the bread. Try doing that with a machine at chap cost And I suppose you can say it saves them ingredients because it adds to the mass of the bread Cheers, Ryan Jones
