As he observes, half the mass of living organisms on the planet is made of bacteria and these bacteria are divided into zillions of species with countless unidentified genes.
Complaining about the way he and his program were treated in the film "The Insider," as he does at some length here, Mr. Hewitt observes half jokingly that "if they had gotten Paul Newman or Robert Redford to play me, I would have forgiven them anything".
As the historian Arnold Toynbee observed half a century ago, Western imperialism united the globe, but it did not assure that the West would dominate forever — materially or morally.
According to another Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study, researchers observed half as many people using hand-held phones immediately after the law was passed.
Kennedy himself disapproved of McCarthy, but, as he once observed, "Half my people in Massachusetts look on McCarthy as a hero".
In an essay, "Keats in Detroit," that ran on The New York Times Op-Ed page in 1995, he observed: "half the women I went to school with carried themselves as though they yearned to become professional bowlers".
Of the 18 canonical recombinations observed, half reflected immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) locus deletions.
The isotope with the longest observed half-life is seaborgium-271 (1.9 minutes) although observations of the decay series by one individual atom of seaborgium-272 led to the prediction that it may have a slightly longer half-life.
Nevertheless, the overall predicted half-life was within 3 h difference of the observed half-life in 34 of 38 patients (89%), when comparing predicted and observed half-lives.
Yet they are full of daring, ready for adventures that plunge them into unfamiliar settings and strange, dislocated relationships with people whose actions and words they observe, half-grasp but never wholly understand.
All isotopes of lawrencium are radioactive and short-lived: at this point, lawrencium-262 is the isotope with the longest observed half-life, which is approximately 3.6 hours, but lawrencium-264 is calculated to have a half-life of roughly 10 hours.
