So now the universe is chemically more complex.

All of this effort results in an inert object.

It forms a surface that is, say, chemically active.

And this is really bad news because plastic is not an inert substance.

How does the Sun reach out across empty inert space and exert influence?

And in a chemically more complex universe, it's possible to make more things.

So that these don't just exist as one entity, we kind of chemically engineer them.

More and more of the inert matter of the globe is being touched and animated by life.

On 3 May, a settler from Kedumim chemically contaminated agricultural wells belonging to Palestinian farmers from Qalqilya.

He uses tiny bottles, the glass is tinted, he tops the olive oil off with an inert gas.

Water and solid samples, as well as samples of flora and fauna, are also chemically processed and analysed.

In addition, in 2003, bombs filled with chemically inactivated Bacillus anthracis in liquid form were also excavated and sampled.

One of our collaborators is chemist Martin Hanczyc, and he's really interested in the transition from inert to living matter.

Some drugs, such as aspirin and menthol, were derived from plants but are synthesized chemically to meet economic and quality considerations.

Now helium's a gas, there're a lot of reasons why helium's good, it's a tiny molecule, it's inert, it doesn't give you narcosis.

And as a result, these exposed males lose their testosterone, they're chemically castrated, and they're subsequently feminized because now they're making the female hormone.

We also have been working with some scientists and engineers from UPenn to come up with a chemically actuated version of this amoeba robot.

And instead of using human figures to develop ideas of time and space, I work in the mineral world. I work with more or less inert matter.

Irregular waste disposal, in addition to inappropriate water supply and sewerage pipes, influences water quality, resulting in more exposure of the population to microbiologically and chemically contaminated water.

And one thing which I've long not been able to solve and is also mentioned in the book Hong Kong Kids is that students are inert to many things.

And later in biology class, I learned that it's due to a process called denaturing, which is where the proteins will change shape and lose their ability to chemically function.

If a perfectly designed munition is left in store unchecked via an ISS program, it may well eventually degrade chemically and or physically to the point where it does become unsafe and unreliable on the battlefield.

This did not ease inspectors concerns on the level of Iraq's achievements until, in 1997, three bombs filled with liquid and chemically inactivated botulinum toxin were unearthed from the destruction site declared by Iraq and sampled.

One example is the belated recognition that seemingly inert and benign halogenated hydrocarbons were interfering with the ozone layer. Another is the slowness to acknowledge the possibility of novel transmission mechanisms for spongiform encephalopathies ( mad cow disease ).

What the essence of that is, is that we're taking the sand at our feet, the inert silicon at our feet, and we're breathing a level of complexity into it that rivals that of life itself, and may even surpass it.

Venice is sinking. To save it, Rachel Armstrong says we need to outgrow architecture made of inert materials and, well, make architecture that grows itself. She proposes a not quite alive material that does its own repairs and sequesters carbon, too.

Abdullah s octogenarian line of successors recalls the final years of the Soviet Union, when one infirm leader after another succeeded to power for a brief period of inert rule. Many Saudi subjects feel the same pattern of continuous uncertainty and torpor.

Mental health services should offer something more than having our feelings chemically suppressed, or having our children s difficulties sitting still controlled by amphetamines (which, apart from teaching children that problems are best solved with drugs, stunt growth by an average of one centimeter per year).

However, these clinical trauma theorists do not argue that repressed or dissociated memories of horrific events are either inert or benign. On the contrary, these buried memories silently poison the lives of victims, giving rise to seemingly inexplicable psychiatric symptoms, and therefore must be exhumed for healing to occur.

The review of the results of microbiological and chemical analysis of public health laboratories in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, including into the mandatory reporting system (unlike other institutions carrying out water chemical quality control) we can see a relatively high level of microbiologically and chemically unhealthy samples.

While ASEAN rejected previous calls to impose sanctions, or even to expel Myanmar, this step shows that it will not remain inert regardless of what the generals do. Moreover, some ASEAN member countries, like Singapore, have explicitly called for Aung San Suu Kyi to be allowed to participate in the 2010 elections.

Things could have become much worse the ozone destroying properties of halogens have been studied since the mid 1970 s. If it had turned out that chlorine behaved chemically like bromine, the ozone hole would by then have been a global, year round phenomenon, not just an event of the Antarctic spring.

The citizens of the partner countries must become the real beneficiaries if this partnership is to become more than the inert agreement that it has been. Generous EU commitments on mobility, aid to SMEs and entrepreneurs, and a vast increase in educational opportunities are among the key ingredients that could make such a partnership politically popular for a vast majority.

Plato held that moral progress is essentially an intellectual process, driven by reasoned arguments a stance that many of the most influential moral philosophers, from Baruch Spinoza and Immanuel Kant to John Rawls and Peter Singer, have supported. Yet many other philosophers have rejected the autocracy of reason in humans moral lives, agreeing with David Hume s assertion that reason, in itself, is perfectly inert.

Others have pointed out that, although the team produced a synthetic genome, they put it into a cell from another bacterium, replacing that cell s DNA. We have yet to build a living organism entirely from bottles of chemicals, so anyone who believes in a life force that only a divine being could imbue into inert matter will no doubt continue to believe in it.

For the time being, the monitoring of the diseases caused by the chemically contaminated foodstuffs is not in place, because such contaminations belong to the group, long term contamination that in most cases show their consequences only after prolonged exposure, and there are no preconditions for monitoring them, in spite of the fact that the World Health Organization has been increasingly pointing out that this is needed.

For the time being, the monitoring of the diseases caused by the chemically contaminated foodstuffs is not in place, because such contaminations belong to the group of chronic, long term contamination that in most cases show their consequences only after prolonged exposure, and there are no preconditions for monitoring them (TDI, NOEL) in spite of the fact that SZO has been pointing out more and more that this is needed.

Data on the hygienic acceptability of foodstuffs and objects of general use gathered in five public health laboratories in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina show that the percentage of unsatisfactory samples in production has been significantly lower in 2002 than in the years before. Namely, of the total number of the examined production samples, only 6 per cent have found to be chemically unsatisfactory, and 2.6 per cent were microbiologically unsatisfactory.
