Example Sentences:
(1) No wonder public discussion of this most unexpected scientific development has so far been muted and respectful, waiting for the expert community that discovered the anomaly by accident – the Opera experiment at Gran Sasso was devised to isolate different varieties of neutrino, not to test Einstein – to work out what it all means, or doesn't.

(6) Ribosomes from two Gram-negative bacteria translated f2 RNA, T4 early mRNA, mRNA from three Gran-negative bacteria, and mRNA from six Gram-positive bacteria; ribosomes from three Gram-positive bacteria translated mRNA from the Gram-positive strains, but did not translate the other mRNAs.
(7) A new equation is derived for the data treatment of very weak bases, where the Gran's original method can not be applied directly.
