This is the dumbest thing ever. If you live in a city or a suburb, you don't need one of these things because you'll be connected to a grid that can give you electricity that is far more efficiently generated. If you live in a r

Supposedly, assuming that the sequence doesn't harm the organism (or that the organism doesn't alter the sequence). Bacillus spores can remain dormant for decades, if not centuries, and date palms have been grown from millenia-ol

No. Save for the appendices, K & R can be completed and understood in a weekend. It's kind of fun to read and to work through the problems, even if you rarely use C. The Sepples book, on the other hand, is an encyclopedia. I don

Apparently, these tumors proliferate because they are able to trick killer T cells into not attacking them. The antibody, nivolumab, inhibits this signaling pathway so that the T-cells are capable of attacking the tumor. From: Gettinger SN

The fact that you can tack on an extra protein domain to each protein subunit is really neat because it lets you assemble little macromolecules containing several custom functionalities. Presumably these extra domains face outwards, coatin

A couple of suggestions: 1. It reminds me of the graphical view that is present in the IDA disassembler in which functions are broken into "boxes" wherever there is a jump in control flow. If you're disassembling a C functio

If a particular bacterial strain were to become resistant to a particular bacteriocin, we could use directed evolution methods to modify the bacteriocin. For example, say the pathogen develops a mutation so that the bacteriocin's bindi

Does that article have a second page? I read ten paragraphs of preamble followed by two paragraphs of topic. Anyway, it is about using a class of bacteriocidal polypeptides, called bacteriocins, to treat bacterial infections in humans. Beca

Isn't this like comparing apples to a fruit salad? Quoting from the React website, "Lots of people use React as the V in MVC," whereas Angular is the whole kit `n' kaboodle. I thought React was supposed to be used in ta
