genetic screening - University of Calgary
... Blood from newborns could be used to screen for Fragile X syndrome9, the most common form of inherited mental retardation. It is caused by a mutation on the X chromosome which prevents the body making a protein called FMRP. Boys with the mutation are certain to be mentally retarded, but only 65% of ...

Integrating Programming by Example and Natural Language Programming
... Dijkstra (1979) states that natural language programming is simply impossible, or at least impractical, by arguing that formal symbolisms are “an amazingly effective tool for ruling out all sorts of nonsense that, when we use our native tongues, are almost impossible to avoid”. Although there is no ...
