Convective Turbulence

Researching three areas today:
Volcanic regions in France that could activate due to contractive effects of Big Freeze and landslides caused by The Flood.
Also looking into convective turbulence.
And finally, UAVs and air to air missile systems. Who's building what and selling to who.

First Comprehensive Gene Map of the Human Brain: More Than 90 Percent Similarity Among Humans

ScienceDaily (Apr. 12, 2011) — The Allen Institute for Brain Science has released the world's first anatomically and genomically comprehensive human brain map, a previously unthinkable feat made possible through leading-edge technology and more than four years of rigorous studies and documentation. The unprecedented mappings are the foundation for the Allen Human Brain Atlas, an online public resource developed to advance the Institute's goal to accelerate understanding of how the human brain works and fuel new discovery among the global research community.
