The Insect Habitat (IH) was designed to support a variety of insect species. However, during the initial flight increments, it will be dedicated to experiments using Drosophila melanogaster, or fruit flies. The Insect Habitat will enable studies of the fruit fly to learn how microgravity affects development, nervous system function, movement and behavior, growth, reproduction, aging, gene expression, mutagenesis from radiation and circadian rhythms or sleep/wake cycles. 2, record 9, English, - insect%20habitat

The IH will support single- and multi-generation experiments that have approximate external dimensions of 13.5 cm (L) x 2.25 cm (D) x 7.0 cm (H) each. The flies will live in two chevron-shaped container elements. These containers can be divided into two parts using the internal food cylinders; this yields two 55 ml containers that can support up to 100 Drosophila through to egg-laying. Alternatively, the containers can be left undivided, which yields a single 110 ml volume that supports up to 200 Drosophila. ... The two insect containers reside in the science element portion of the IH. The science element consists of two environmentally controlled "drawers." Each drawer contains a centrifuge that can provide up to 2G. Each centrifuge will hold six insect containers. Typically, one drawer will have a microgravity environment and the other drawer will have a defined gravity environment, although the precise gravity regimen for each centrifuge can be determined by the researcher. 2, record 9, English, - insect%20habitat

Habitats in the Space Station Fundamental Biology Research Facility(SSFBRF) enable studies on a variety of organisms across multiple science disciplines. They allow scientists to conduct experiments in habitats that are similar in design to those that have been used in labs for ground studies. Each habitat provides life support, environmental control, and monitoring systems and can be housed in one or more of the three major host systems : the Centrifuge, Life Sciences Glovebox, and Habitat Holding Rack.

Americans today are accessing the Internet with more regularity, and Black and Hispanic households are twice as likely to own computers today as they were in 1994. Yet, many race or origin groups are losing ground in computer and Internet connectivity when compared to the progress of Whites and those of Asian/Pacific Island descent. When holding income constant, Black and Hispanic households are still far less likely to have Internet access. 1, record 12, English, - racial%20divide

Le revenu moyen par habitant de 2 220 dollars (en 1997) de la Namibie est plus de quatre fois supérieur à la moyenne de l'Afrique subsaharienne, ce qui la place à égalité avec certains pays d'Europe de l'Est aux revenus faibles et moyens. Mais derrière ce chiffre se cache l'une des répartitions de revenus les plus inégales au monde. Un pour cent des ménages, les plus riches, consomme autant que 50 % des couches les plus pauvres de la population. Héritée de l'apartheid, cette répartition des revenus correspond au clivage racial.
