The recent discovery of contaminating porcine circovirus 1 DNA in Rotarix underscores the power of deep sequencing to ensure the purity of viral vaccines. The price of deep sequencing is now low enough that it is possible to use this technology to examine not just viral vaccines, but any biological product produced in mammalian cells for the presence of adventitious agents.

Talking recently with an avid Fox News viewer, she told me of the government's take over of the student loans, and how regular banks would no longer be a part of this. Critics have said that this revision will cut out the middleman, and effectively make the government the only real place to go to get an affordable loan.

The iPad brings to market a whole new form factor that has a number of major use advantages over smartphones, laptops and netbooks, the largest of which is this: it fits in a purse or any small bag -- where it doesn't act just like any of those other devices.

As an avowed public interest type, I have had no real occasion to work with the Office of Career Services (OCS) until recently. But since deciding that I might be interested in judicial clerkships after graduation, I've realized they really do have something for everyone.

The U.S. auto market may just have just got its mojo back. Four major automakers and 10 individual brands recorded sales jumps of more than 40 percent this March over the same period last year. Such spikes aren't unheard of, but given the present economic climate, it appears to be nothing short of remarkable.

Direct To Fan Marketing, or D2F, is an increasingly prevalent way for bands to reach people who like their music cheaply and with a real sense that they may just buy the band's record as a result using emerging social technologies. The way the bands go about this will vary: from offering free downloads by sending an e-mail to fans on their mailing list, or sharing a tweet with a link to a video with their fans, for example.

There is currently a security advisory out about a Zero Day vulnerability in Internet Explore 6 & 7 on Windows XP and Vista. While there is no patch out for this issues so far you can mitigate the security a number ways using Group Policy.

At my high school there is a lot of focus on college. It is expected that almost everyone in my class will attend some sort of four-year college, and there are visits every week from universities, trying to gain applicants. So much of what we juniors do is underlined by the fact that the work we do this year, the grades we get this year, the effort we put into this year, will be what universities look at when deciding our future.

A successful solar photovoltaic installation is one in which the customer is happy and has received what was expected. While a proper installation is of crucial importance, the most important first steps usually occur during the selling process where information is gathered, a proposal is generated and where the customer expectations are set.

Sandia National Laboratories scientists have developed tiny glitter-sized photovoltaic cells that could revolutionize the way solar energy is collected and used. The tiny cells could turn a person into a walking solar battery charger if they were fastened to flexible substrates molded around unusual shapes, such as clothing.
