Revisiting Bell’s Theorem for a Class of Down-conversion Experiments
A certain class of parametric down-conversion Bell type experiments has the following features. In the idealized perfect situation it is in only 50% of cases that each observer receives a photon; in the other 50% of cases one observer receives both photons of a pair while the other observer receives none. The standard approach is to discard the events of the second type. Only the remaining ones...
متن کاملDNA as genetic material and as a nutrient in halophilic Archaea
Phosphorus is a key element for life, and in many ecosystems phosphate is the limiting nutrient. This is also true for many hypersaline ecosystems. A wellknown example is the Dead Sea, where the possibility of massive development of microbial blooms is determined by the excessively high concentrations of magnesium and calcium and phosphate is the limiting inorganic nutrient, not only for the al...
متن کاملHighlight: Changing the Canon—Revisiting a Classic Experiment to Alter the Genetic Code
It doesn’t take much for an organism to accept something radically new into its life. That is the conclusion of a recent inquiry into the mutability of life’s fundamental genetic code by Ting-Fung Chan, a computational biologist at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and his colleagues. “There are not actually that many genes involved in the change,” says Chan. For an organism to switch from us...
متن کاملA Practical Attack on the MIFARE Classic
The mifare Classic is the most widely used contactless smart card in the market. Its design and implementation details are kept secret by its manufacturer. This paper studies the architecture of the card and the communication protocol between card and reader. It reveals command codes and structure that so far were unknown. It also gives a practical, low-cost attack that recovers secret informat...
متن کاملA simple method for extracting DNA from old skeletal material.
Extraction of DNA from old skeletal material is of great importance in the identification of human remains, but is particularly difficult because the methods currently employed, especially those using phenol/chloroform, are not always satisfactory. A simple technique based on the removal of non-nucleic acid material by salting out (precipitation) with saturated sodium acetate is described; the ...
