Might have to get it approved by an ethics board, it's not illegal, but your local policy might require approval.

You need a control group in an environment with no pollution, and a group in a polluted environment.

No. The same spot is continuously hit with sound waves for the entire duration of existence.

Yeah silver can stain the skin. AgNO3 stains it more, but i believe pure silver can also stain it.

The same areas would continue to be exposed to sound waves for a longer period than it would take for them to undergo sufficient change to become unalterable.

Like testing out new boating technologies by shipping them all out to an island, then testing WOMD on them? :jk:

Maybe intelligence really is an evolutionary disadvantage, since it's the intelligent who keep the stupid alive.

Just bomb their island... I am more evolved.

One of my friends on my floor is from France, so I insult him pretty much on a daily basis. La France a beaucoup de peur... Vous craignez l'Irak Quand un homme mort... nous nous rendons!! S'il vous plait, Saddam, nous enculez! etc

Unless there's a undisputable link to the disappearance of a species and severe disruption of the ecosystem, the engineered species should stay confined to zoos. I'd love to visit a Jurassic Park one day.

I wonder how long before I can get this as the color of my car...

Co3N is tricobalt nitride H2S is dihydrogen sulfide Depending on your book/professor, the tri- and di- might be omittable, but technically they should be included. The rest are right (I assuming ZnCI is actually ZnCl, as the former doesn't exist)

Even the papers that established these ideas talked about getting some unexpected results... we're not currently able to observe in real time an ion moving across the membrane. It occurs in a matter of picoseconds, so we can't actually see exactly where its going through; only how much gets into a cell (by using radioactive tracing). I'll bring more information over following weeks; these are the ideas we're talking about once a week in my cell and molecular biology book club with the director of honors research in biology here.

I'm questioning whether pumps/channels pump/channel at all. The papers cited show identical voltage patterns (selectivity) whether its silicon rubber or normal membrane channel... how are we so confident pump/channel proteins aren't just receptors?

The voltage changes on the membrane were identical to the changes of silicon rubber (the first paper I cited)... and a channel is different than a pump.

Yeah it looks stoned.

The idea is from a book I'm reading, Cells, Gels, and the Engines of Life by Gerald Pollack. Journal articles cited relavent to the new idea are Sachs and Qin, 1993 Lev et. al., 1993 Whittam, 1961 Ling, 1962

The velocity at any given point. The average velocity is for the entire period of motion; i.e. when I drove from Sarasota to Miami in 2.3 hours, my average velocity was 206/2.3 = 89.56mph; but this doesn't reflect that my velocity was 80mph when I was picking something up on my radar detector and going 100 when I wasn't. Instantaneous velocity is the value of the derivative of the position vector at any given moment, independent of :delta:t Say the equation describing my position was 2t^2. My average velocity between 0 and 10 is 400/10 = 40. My velocity at 5 seconds, d/dt = 4t, is 20.

rofl. best picture ever.

The currently accepted model for membrane transport of ions and other small molecules is a channel or a pump. However, it is not clearly understood how these are selective. Silicon rubber has demonstrated the same selectivity as a plasma membrane, which calls into question whether the channels and pumps actually do the transport. The issue of energy expenditure also is raised: Na+/K+ pumps alone would have to be using 40-50% of all ATP energy within the cell. What is everyones opinion of alternative hypotheses for the role of these so-called channel and pump proteins, especially considering they may function as receptors rather than channels or pumps at all?

Yeah I got those from the Google cache... they were taken down but i see they're back up... see also http://fafalone.hypermart.net/ripper.html for a more complete log (thx spny ;x).. note: file is 600kb

Speaking of news images, there should be a way to attach images and have them displayed in the right place, rather than relying on the other servers that host the images.. just a thought:/ I tried attaching an image to another thread, but vB wouldn't process the call.

Just because you have a high IQ doesn't make you anti-social, you just find other people with high IQs, works for me

I like the Studio Libeskind (sp?) one.
