W
ikipedia
is a multi-lingual, Web-based free content encyclopedia project. The name Wikipedia is a portmanteau of the words wiki and encyclopedia. Wikipedia is written collaboratively by volunteers, allowing most articles to be changed by almost anyone with access to the Web site. Wikipedia's main servers are in Tampa, Florida, with additional servers in Amsterdam and Seoul.
Wikipedia was launched as an English language project on January 15, 2001, as a complement to the expert-written and now defunct Nupedia, and now is operated by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. It was created by Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales; Sanger resigned from both Nupedia and Wikipedia on March 1, 2002. Wales has described Wikipedia as "an effort to create and distribute a multi-lingual free encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to every single person on the planet in their own language".[1]

The

chromosome is the sex-determining chromosomes in humans and most other mammals. In mammals, it contains the gene SRY, which triggers testis development, thus determining maleness.

isease
acute and chronic reactions
of donor's
T-lymphocytes against recipient's cells:
skin, gut, liver, CNS, eyes...
It could be easily prevented by
removing
T-lymphocytes from the stem cell graft...
but if you do that, the probability of
either
recurrence of leukemia
or graft failure
increases significantly.
A new debilitating disease seems to keep
stalling the previous ailment.

H
elioseismology
The study of the Sun's interior by measuring oscillations (ripples) as they appear at the surface. The oscillations are caused by sound waves that originate at different depths inside the Sun. By measuring their travel times and the distance they travel, scientists can study conditions in the Sun's interior.

Ionosphere: The region above the stratasphere,from about 65 miles up to about 800 kilometres. Ionization of the atoms in this region produces layers which reflect radio waves , making long-range communication over the earth possible. Solar events have effects upon the ionosphere, and produce ioospheric storms;on occasion, radio communication is interrupted.(Phiips Atlas Of The Universe Sir Patrick Moore )
