Previous work has offered income, education, low levels of agricultural labour (which is replaced by more mentally stimulating jobs), climate (the challenge of surviving cold weather might provoke the evolution of intelligence) and even distance from humanity's African homeland (novel environments could encourage greater intelligence) as explanations for national differences in IQ.
Development of a rapid, cost-effective, label-free biosensor for DNA detection is important for many applications in clinical diagnosis, homeland defense, and environment monitoring.
Basically, we've got science and technology's interaction with the economy, with health, with energy and environment, with homeland security, with cross-cutting research, with space program, information technology, the strength of fundamental research within our university system.
In the 21st century, scientific and technological leadership is more vital than ever in maintaining U.S. competitiveness, ensuring our national defense and homeland security, protecting our environment, creating high-wage jobs, and advancing the quality of our lives.
However, the discussion of these issues and the establishment of a regulatory environment associated with homeland security are far from over.
And now President Bush has his cabinet and staff busily writing far-reaching rules to keep his priorities on the environment, public lands, homeland security, health and safety in place long after the clock strikes midnight and his presidential limousine turns into a pumpkin.
He lives in Boston, telecommutes to Haiti daily via phone, Skype, and e-mails, then makes personal visits three to four times per year, all to support development that reduces poverty, increases literacy, and protects the environment of his homeland.
But to imagine a first strike happening with Trump in the White House, it helps to imagine a different kind of scenario ― say, a terrorist attack somewhere in the U.S. In the fevered, panicked environment that a homeland incident could provoke, it's not so crazy to imagine Trump ordering a nuclear strike against ISIS targets in Syria ― even though such a strike would, in fact, be crazy.
Security is critical for sensor networks used in military, homeland security and other hostile environments.
