Throughout history chemists have faced the accusation of ‘playing God’ or similar devilish associations, overshadowing all moral judgments of chemistry. The paper provides an ethical analysis of the accusation with focus on Craig Venter’s 2010 announcement of having produced the ‘first selfreplicating cell’.

متن کاملComposition of Services with Nondeterministic Observable Behavior
In [3] we started studying an advanced form of service composition where available services were modeled as deterministic finite transition systems, describing the possible conversations they can have with clients, and where the client request was itself expressed as a (virtual) service making use of the same alphabet of actions. In [4] we extended our studies by considering the case in which t...
متن کاملPremartensite to martensite transition and its implications on the origin of modulation in Ni2MnGa ferromagnetic shape memory alloy
We present here results of temperature dependent high resolution synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction study of sequence of phase transitions in Ni2MnGa. Our results show that the incommensurate martensite phase results from the incommensurate premartensite phase, and not from the austenite phase assumed in the adaptive phase model. The premartensite transforms to the martensite phase through a ...
متن کاملThe power of feedback.
Clearly a diligent, comprehensive, detailed but readable analysis of the literature surrounding diagnostic and management errors and clinical reasoning is still a goal worth aiming for, but Norman and Eva have made an impressive start. This is not an ‘all or none’ situation; diagnostic reasoning is only one part of the equation. What the clinician does with the information in terms of managemen...
متن کاملSummary of the Conference on States * l Electronic Density of
It is very diffi cult to summarize a conference such as thi s, involving as it did a many sple ndored array of topics, both experimental and theore ti cal , expounded in no less than ninety papers. The organization of a con· ference of such size is ordinarily impossible without resort to simultaneous sessions. Whe n there are simultaneous sessions, of course, it is easier for a single sum mariz...
