Remote control of behavior

I found out about this paper last week - it didn't seem to be picked up by a lot of the popular press despite its wackiness. Susana Lima and Gero Miesenbock at Yale have designed a fruit fly that can be activated to perform certain behaviors by remote control, using a laser. You put a non-endogenous ATP receptor into defined neurons that control a certain behavior, inject the flies with caged ATP, uncage the ATP with a laser, and - voila - those neurons are activated and the fly does the correct behavior. They got flies - even headless flies or blind flies - to perform stereotypical escape behavior (jumping and wing-flapping) when "activated" with a UV laser.

Freaky, eh?

The latter, Web 2.0, is not defined as a static architecture. Web 2.0 can be generally characterized as a common set of architecture and design patterns, which can be implemented in multiple contexts. bu sitede en saglam pornolar izlenir.The list of common patterns includes the Mashup, Collaboration-Participation, Software as a Service (SaaS), Semantic Tagging (folksonomy), and Rich User Experience (also known as Rich Internet Application) patterns among others. These are augmented with themes for software architects such as trusting your users and harnessing collective intelligence. Most Web 2.0 architecture patterns rely on Service Oriented Architecture in order to function
