Aeroflex Announces Advanced Field Tests with the Hand-Held 3500 Test Set

Wichita, KS.–July 30, 2008–Aeroflex today announced the release of new software for the 3500 1 GHz Hand-Held Radio Test Set to support Survey Technologies Field Test 6 Software. Now, users of the 3500 Series can improve and automate the acquisition, analysis and display of signal strength across a given terrain, as well as inside buildings. Field Test 6 has expanded the drive-test measurement concept to include indoor measurement and analysis for applications where GPS is not available. The hand-held capability of the 3500, along with the Field Test 6 software, allows users to map out their building or geographical areas and find any sections that contain a weak signal. Armed with this information users can improve critical communications within those areas.

Patent bid sparks cancer-test price fears

A decision by Genetic Technologies could make breast cancer examinations more expensive, according to Cancer Australia. Genetic holds the Australian and New Zealand patent licences for a test that detects mutations in breast cancer genes, and recently announced plans to use its patent rights to conduct all future testing itself. Women with the defective gene have an 85 per cent change of contracting the disease, against a community-wide average of around nine per cent. Cancer Council Australia CEO, Ian Olver, said allowing genes to be patented could be problematic in the long term and could compromise the Human Genome Project

Biologists Create Genetic Map of Europe

Death Metal Maniac brings us a story from the New York Times about a team of scientists who were able to relate genetic differences to geographical origins. Countries such as Germany, Austria, and France occupy the central area of the genetic map, with Italy, Finland, and the UK being relative outliers. Quoting: "All the populations are quite similar, but the differences are sufficient that it should be possible to devise a forensic test to tell which country in Europe an individual probably comes from, said Manfred Kayser, a geneticist at the Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands. ... Genomic sites that carry the strongest signal of variation among populations may be those influenced by evolutionary change, Dr. Kayser said. Of the 100 strongest sites, 17 are found in the region of the genome that confers lactose tolerance,

Twenty20 is just business, says Sri Lanka chief and former Test player star

SRI Lanka's legendary former captain Arjuna Ranatungatoday urged players to preserve Test cricket in the face of the challenge posed by the lucrative Twenty20 format. Ranatunga, who led his country to their only World Cup title in 1996, also said the players needed to focus more on Tests. "You need Twenty20 to get more money, but ultimately you have to realise that Test cricket is the major thing," said Ranatunga, who is also the chairman of Sri Lanka Cricket. "It's very important to preserve Test cricket. When it comes to Twenty20, it's more like a business as far as I am concerned." His comments came a few days after his country's cricketers asked for next year's hastily-arranged Test tour of England to be rescheduled as the dates clashed with the Indian Premier League (IPL).
