A plethora of facts about biotechnology.

This information is not all mine but this is what I have found.
The DNA double strand is wrapped around a protien complex. To ensure that basic processes such as DNA replication during cell division or the translation of genetic information into proteins is able to take place without problems, enzymes need to have free access to genetic information. Therefore, it is vital that the genetic material can be converted back from its compact form into a form that is easier to access. To make this happen, the cell regulates the binding of DNA to the protiens through chemical changes in the protiens themselves. In this way, these changes influence both the structure of the genetic material and the cell function. Since activation and silencing of genes or oncogenes also depend on the extent of packaging, these chemical changes are believed to play a central role in the transformation of a normal cell into a cancer cell.
Now I believe that this change in the DNA is much helpful to most people who have cancer and need a remedy.

Really Major Swine Flu Outbreak at the U.S. Air force Academy

The nH1N1 Swine Flu virus is really in for it this time. At the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) and the United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine Epidemiology Consult Service, the investigators stated something very major about the nH1N1 virus. Viable virus shedding have been found in the nostrils of patents that were being tested for the virus on Day seven of the symptom onset of Swine Flu. Out of all the patents that claimed to be symptom-free for more than 24 hours, surprisingly 19% of that amount still had the viable virus shedding. The real shocker about this nefarious virus is that it has been recorded and stated as one of the largest known nH1N1 clusters at a United States collage to date in July. The USAFA was also initiating imediate treatment for the new basic trainees at the 6-week military training program. They found out that, between July 6 and July 7, the respitory complaints were lead to the virus and proved, because two of the Cadets were indentified positve for influenza A. I know that we need more defense systems for slowing down the process of spreading the Swine Flu virus. It can make it easier if the flu was taken care of for good.

The New System for Buildings to Survive Powerful Earthquakes.

http://www.livescience.com/technology/090908-earthquake-buildings.html

There is a new system for surviving extremely powerful earthquakes that scientists have been trying to find for a long 10-15 years. But, with all the great ideas for earthquake survival, only Greg Deierlein, a professor at Stanford University who teaches civil and environmental engenering, fused those ideas together.

In this method, the structure is wound by steel-braced frames that are designed to move up and down along with the earthquake's movement. After the shaking stops, elastic steel-tendons move the building back into alignment to ensure that the building doesn't topple over. Near the bottom of the building, steel "fuses" help to prevent any sustainable damage to the building so it doesn't collapse. And because it can be installed into the structure's initial design and can be built from construction materials, it is very economically feasible.

In my opinion, I would still be cautious even if it can withstand tough earthquakes. Who knows? Maybe something might pop off or come loose and then it might fail. But I would try to stay cautious either way.
