“[They identified the PKCi gene as potentially contributing to this change and then turned to a] model organism, ... 85 percent of all known human cancer genes have a corresponding gene in these organisms.”
“[Researchers found that in fruit flies, PKCi increased the levels of Cyclin E and cell proliferation.] We then went back to our patient samples and found that those with low levels of PKCi and Cyclin E have a remarkably good outcome, while the opposite is true for higher levels, ... That offers us both a hope that PKCi can be used as a potent predictive test as well as a possible new way to treat the cancer.”
“If you don't have computer protection against those problems, they will build up over time and slow the computer to a crawl. If you take care of computers, they will be obsolete long before they stop running.”
“Spyware sends information back to a source, usually some kind of businesses. It monitors what sites you are going to. It finds the sites you are most interested in. If you are interested in hunting, for instance, spyware will let the source know that. Your computer probably will be targeted with a lot of pop-up ads about hunting.”
“Pc-cillin protects against viruses as well as protects against spyware and adware. It also has spam filtering and gives you a firewall to protect you from people trying to get into your computer. Norton 2005 does the same thing.”
“A hard drive saves files in sectors. But large files may be saved in various spots on the disk. This means the hard drive must search for each element in order to recombine them into a complete file. This may slow down the computer. The Disk Defragmenter finds the individual parts and puts them in a group, which speeds up the computer.”
