In this short presentation I will attempt to accomplish a couple of different goals. First, I will discuss a series of recent cases that set out the doctrine for biotechnology patenting. Judge Lourie of the Federal Circuit has written most of the opinions, and recently one or two other judges have joined in. Looking at these cases is much like looking at a wonderful machine, as the cases progre...

This paper discusses broad features of the introduction of television in two Swampy Cree communities on the west coast of James Bay in northern Ontario, Canada. The first of these communities is Fort Albany, a village of about 580 Swampy Cree Indians located approximately 100 miles north of Moosonee and Moose Factory, Ontario. Fort Albany was founded between 1675 and 1679 as the third Hudson's ...

The B factories continue to dominate experimental publications on the τ. Since the previous edition of this Review, there have been 15 published papers that have contributed measurements to the τ Listings, including 6 from the BaBar Collaboration and 8 from the Belle Collaboration. Seven of these papers have provided new upper limits on the branching fractions for neutrinoless τ-decay modes. Of...

MONOLITH is a proposed massive (34 kt) magnetized tracking calorimeter at the Gran Sasso laboratory in Italy, optimized for the detection of atmospheric muon neutrinos. The main goal is to establish (or reject) the neutrino oscillation hypothesis through an explicit observation of the full first oscillation swing. The ∆m sensitivity range for this measurement comfortably covers the complete Sup...

Factory farming continues to grow around the world as a low-cost way of producing animal products for human consumption. However, many of the practices associated with intensive animal farming have been criticized by public health professionals and animal welfare advocates. The aim of this essay is to raise three independent moral concerns with factory farming, and to explain why the practices ...

One of the key elements in the testing of the Standard-Model description of CP violation through B-meson decays is the direct determination of the angle γ of the unitarity triangle in a variety of ways. We give a brief overview of the implications of the current B-factory data for flavour-symmetry strategies, and discuss new, theoretically clean methods employing pure tree decays of neutral Bd,...
