DNA, to protect its genetic heritage. Spore formation is a microbe’s version of hibernation, a far more effective version. We’re beginning to understand how long bacteria, spore forming bacteria in particular, can live in a dormant stage. To a spore, spring is a fresh supply of water and nutrients, which triggers the resumption of metabolic activity. Spores have been revived, returning to the active phase of their life cycle, after million years of dormancy in the Antarctic ice sheet. They’ve also been found in the stomach of ancient bees, recovered from amber, fossilized tree sap. People are finding in the amber, bacteria spores that are still viable after million years. And that’s an incredible long period of time to remain in a dormant state. To go from planet to planet only requires a million years or less. So, a meteorite coming from Mars, if it had inside it a spore in a dried out state, that could easily survive these long transit times. The final hurdle for our brave Martian microbe, is a fiery passage to the surface of early Earth. When a meteorite enters the atmosphere it’s heated by friction. Tiny meteorites are vaporized or heated to the core, hundreds of degrees centigrade, far too hot for any organism to survive. It’s the biggest one we’ve got, it’s kilograms. But for slightly larger rocks is a case of hot on the outside, cool on the inside. Lots of fusion crust, the dark covering where it melts as it goes through the atmosphere.
The exterior is charred but the fusion crust shields the interior in the way the space shuttle is protected by the heat resistant tiles on its underbelly. Temperatures within the meteorite are kept within the survival zone of a tiny astronaut. If life originated on Mars first, there is a chance it could’ve been blasted here and gotten to Earth before life began on Earth. In which case we may have been colonized by Martian microbes. Could this be our ancestral home, the source of life as we know it. The theory of life’s Martian ancestry has taken great strides, moving from the ridiculous to the possible. But is it probable? For many researchers, like Biochemist David Deamer, that’s too great a step.

Can he score or canhescore website canhescore.com.
In statistics, the score or score function is the partial derivative, with respect to some parameter θ, of the logarithm (commonly the natural logarithm) of the likelihood function. If the observation is X and its likelihood is L(θ;X), then the score V can be found through the chain rule:

I’m looking for some tech blogs to read. I have some tech blogs myself if you’d like to check them out. If you have a good tech-related / webmaster-related blog then click on comments and put it in your link area so I can check it out or trackback a relevant post. I’m looking, really. All of them are very professionally laid out, so feel free to read. But I’m also looking for other great tech blogs to check out and comment on. Blogs I visited were coming up 404 or hadn’t been updated in months. I did find a few

Extremely quick when compared to your average street car, but not against the other dragsters. Then there are funny cars. Take away the fiberglass covering and there is nothing humorous about these nitro-burning speed demons.
But for the ultimate in power and speed, nothing beats top-fuel dragsters. These cars couldn’t take you to the corner grocery store, or even negotiate the neighborhood cul-de-sac. But no other car can touch them when it comes to straight, gut- wrenching acceleration.
Along with funny cars, top-fuel dragsters are the fastest racecars on Earth. Both repeatedly cover a quarter-mile at speeds in excess of miles per hour.
These cars go zero to in one second and they pull five and a half Gs, which is more than the space shuttle at takeoff, and it’s a great ride.

Previous attempts to build thinking machines have focused entirely on creating disembodied intelligence.
A lot of what goes on in human development child development is socializing interaction with people. And the sorts those sorts of interactions happen because we both have human bodies

People are waiting for beam, waiting for physics. We can’t afford that.
So CERN’s management decided last year to cancel an engineering run scheduled to test the entire ring.
Instead of beginning slowly with some safe but dull low-energy collisions, the machine’s first run
will accelerate particles to high energies straight away.
If it works, this incredible machine, this vast effort of thousands of scientists and billions of Euros is certain to changeour understanding of the universe. (more…)
