Genetics, modularity, mutation rate, horizontal gene transfer. Dr. Deem's specialty is statistical mechanics, specifically the computer simulation of complex molecular systems. He works in the areas of evolution, immunology, and materials. Dr. Deem has developed methods to quantify vaccine effectiveness and antigenic distance for influenza, methods to sculpt the immune system to mitigate immunodominance in dengue fever, a physical theory of the competition that allows HIV to escape from the immune system, and the first exact solution of a mathematical model of evolution that accounts for cross-species genetic exchange. Dr. Deem's recent study, published in the December 2007 'Physical Review Letters', found that genetic modularity arises spontaneously because of the selective pressure of a changing environment and the existence of horizontal gene transfer.

How to power/control motor from old IDE harddrive
I've taken apart an old xbox and dissassembled its 8gb Western Digital harddrive. It's got a low profile motor in it which I'd like to use for some project. It doesn't have any markings on it that don't look like a serial number, but it has 3 pins that interface with it somehow. I've unfortunately already trashed the board that it connected to, so I can't look at any motor control ICs that were around that area.

Does anyone here have any insight? Is it a stepper motor? Is it brushless DC? I don't have much experience with these kinds of things. I'd like to be able to control the direction and speed (I guess that's everything).

Thanks!
