I think the hope is that with a few mL of blood you can find at least one cancer cell floating freely and detect that one cell. Of course by the time any cells migrate to the blood you might be at the metastatic stage for a lot of cancers (

Seems to be behind a paywall and my university only gets Science, not this sub-journal, unfortunately...

Yes, there would be consumables. You would need something like nano Fe2O3 attached to biomolecules that specifically bind to the cancer cell type you are testing for.

I heard a talk about this technology about 4 years ago from MRI/NMR researchers at my university working on it. The big problem is getting the right biomolecules that will bind with the target cancer. This is apparently a common problem in

While I'm sure that Roma, Sinti, etc carry out a disproportionately large number of these crimes, the way they are viewed and treated in Europe is just ridiculous. It's just straight up racism and the deportations sound like pure politics.

I find it interesting that if someones sends an SMS and it is rejected, the sender is not necessarily notified. Most of the time I have SMS disabled on my phone (except for Google Voice). If someone on T-mobile (my carrier) sends me an SMS,

Didn't get mine done, but both of my parents had theirs done. My dad's was pretty much as expected, as far as ancestry (my grandmother is an avid genealogist). On my mom's side there is a lost of uncertainty about our ancestry. Of course, b

That said, the burritos can still be tasty, but they can't hold a candle to anything served in New Mexico. That's just not a fair comparison :)

Just out of curiosity, does your NHS insurance cover you while you're in the US?

I just tried that out. Online PDF form filling, signing, and saving would be a worthwhile product in itself in my opinion. Edit: And of course there are a couple of those sites already (just for forms). All of which could use some polishi

A few years ago, he opens his mail to find a notice that his premiums are doubling, requiring a $1,000,000 insurance policy in the event the home is destroyed and needed to be rebuilt. This sounds like a mortgage rate increase is in turn

I think the moral of the story is: don't get an adjustable rate mortgage.

As a physics undergrad we were told "you should probably learn a programming language", but were never given any specific course requirements (or suggestions that I remember). I actually took multiple programming classes and ended up doing

I would make a Facebook joke here, but... I think that they mean that these people have not been in direct contact with non-tribal people. It sounds like most of them are very isolated. Even the other tribes that have contact with the mai

Seeing how far we've come, but we still can't get flash right, I would guess.

Supposedly this is due to intertribal trade, rather than direct contact with the larger outside communities.

Maybe Al Jazeera should just run with being a 21st century, Internet delivered news channel. I mean, I don't get Al Jazeera on my TV because I don't have cable or satellite anyway. I do have Netflix, etc, though.

they have a very distinct pro-Arab bias. It's readily apparent if you watch their reporting on the occupation of Kurdistan Since the Kurds are not Arabs, I'm assuming the bias is against the Kurds?

I use several machines (running Ubuntu), so Mendeley is nice to keep everything synced. Also, it works well for sharing citations with other people. Even though you can store papers on Mendeley, I actually keep most of them on Dropbox.
