Circulating Tumor Cells Can Reveal Genetic Signature Of Dangerous Lung Cancers

A microchip-based device that detects and analyzes tumor cells in the bloodstream can be used to determine the genetic signature of lung tumors, allowing identification of those appropriate for targeted treatment and monitoring genetic changes that occur during therapy.

•	Large Blimps
	well me and my friend vincent have completed our first blimp we constructed it out of space blankets and sealed the edges with packing tape. the envelope was constructed as a triangular prism 46 cubic feet. we hung the basket using four pieces of kite string at four points. we made the "basket" out of one of those protector fake cds that you get with the spindles of recordable disks. we then glued 2 pieces of coat hanger wire and bent them downwards to mount the motors (with hot glue) we used a 9v battery for the power source, an rc car chip and controller, and some 5 inch airplane props mounted, because of the gears, by 5 small pieces of coat hanger wire by hot glue. MOST GHETTO BLIMP EVER pictures will be posted at picasaweb.google.com/thatoneemail/blimp note videos are with a fishing line attached to blimp (didn't want to loose it) flaws: -props aren't stable need to be readjusted after a while or would vibrate off the motor -battery doesn't last very long and overheats -helium leaks -acts like a kite when you blow too hard -have no control over vertical motion. (only two motor controls on chip) -strings = loss of turning power the only good things about it is the envelope is almost twice as big as it needs to be meaning we have plenty of room for more helium if necessary and the motors are quite beefy meaning plenty of power to MOVE my thoughts are to improve control, create a wire frame for the envelope to improve rigidity (no flexing or spinning with the strings) also gives it more mass so the wind doesn't have as much control (but also the props the same sadly) what would be the best way to create the frame, should i use balsa wood or chicken wire or some other material. should i even make a frame? or should i make a smaller envelope. is there a way to achieve vertical motion with only two motors how should i seal the space blankets together should i skimp for the hobby Mylar? does anybody know how to remove the gears off of the motors that are in rc cars? if not should i just get new motors? if i start asking more questions everyone reading this will probably die of boredom so if anyone has any suggestions that would be amazing.
