"This is just our first tentative glimpse into the very remote universe," says Alan Dressler of the Carnegie Observatories in Pasadena, CA. "What we see may be the first stages of galaxy formation. But the objects are so faint that their true nature can only be explored with the advanced telescopes of the future."
"This observation is a major step toward fulfilling one of Hubble's key objectives: to search for the faintest and farthest objects in the universe," adds Ed Weiler, NASA's acting Associate Administrator for Space Science.
In a separate discovery, Thomps .....

New Developments Or Research In Genetic Cloning: Summary
Words: 2623 - Pages: 10.... cells. This will be
helpful in the future for patients waiting for organ transplants. Scientists
will be able to clone a fully functional organ, and replace it with the damaged
one. The report on the cloning of the human's morphine receptor is advantageous
to us because this helps scientists to develop new analgesics.
The third section of the paper contains a brief discussion about the
advantages and the disadvantages of genetic cloning. It speculates how our

A manometer is simply a bent piece of tubing, preferably glass with one end closed.
When the liquid level in both arms is the same, the pressure of the sample of gas inside the closed end must equal the pressure of the external atmosphere since the downward force on the two columns of liquid is then equal. When the liquid levels are unequal, the pressures must differ. The difference in pressure can be measured in units of length of the vertical column of liquid. The mm Hg, or its modern version the torr, originated in this use of the manometer. Mercury is particularly con .....

higher orbirtals by ultraviolet or visible light, vibrations are excited by
infrared light, and rotations are excited by microwaves” (Tissue).
IR spectroscopy is the measurement of the wavelength and
intensity of the absorption of infrared light by a sample. The
wavelength of IR absorption bands are characteristic of specific types
of chemical bonds.
An IR spectrophotometer is an instrument which is designed to
obtain an infrared spectra of a molecule. An IR spectra is obtained by
first irradiating a sample with an IR source of light. The light passes
through the sample, which .....
