And any dip that thinks education is the arbiter of civilisation needs a lot of sarcasm.

His little list is full of Israeli commercial adverts taken straight from the relevant company web sites. the rest is made up from, well garbage is putting it politely.

Just look at:-

Not quite right.
Try US citizen working at NASA. He had turned away from Israel and taken up US citizenship over a decade ago. But if you want to include people who think that Israel just isn't good enough on your list that is up to you. But if you do expect to have the mickey taken. and get shot down by an AK

Frayed knot sweetie pie. US citizen. He turned in the Israel badge some time ago and became a citizen of the US. But if you want to hold up a US citizen as an Israeli champion but it will look silly to say on the rostrum that Israel's finest give Israel the cold shoulder.

The late Yoram Kaufman did the work.

Using this new understanding of how aerosol pollution influences cloud cover, Kaufman and co-author Ilan Koren of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, estimate the impact world-wide could be as much as a five percent net increase in cloud cover. In polluted areas, these cloud changes can change the availability of fresh water and regional temperatures

once again, ashley's premature ejaculation is sterile. it appears Ilan Koren is an israeli scientist:

Israeli researchers focus on 'an inconvenient truth'
By James Murray-White
November 01, 2007

While some skeptics have criticized the film as exaggerated, at least one Israeli scientist is thankful that Gore spoke out. Dr. Ilan Koren, a senior scientist in the department of Environmental Science at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, is one of several Israeli scientists and researchers who have been working for years on monitoring and evaluating the effects of the Earth's climatic shift.

just because someone works in the united states doesn't mean they are citizens of the united states. what we have is a symbiosis of two democracies, israel and the united states.

Scientists develop 'Fantastic Voyage'-like robot sub


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judy Siegel-Itzkovich , THE JERUSALEM POST Jun. 26, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israeli scientists have actually created the imaginary technology depicted by the 1966 science fiction movie Fantastic Voyage, in which a submarine is reduced to microscopic size, injected into the bloodstream and able to travel through the body to provide medical treatment.

A tiny "submarine" robot has been designed by Dr. Nir Schwalb of the Judea and Samaria College in Ariel and Oded Solomon of the mechanical engineering department of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. They say it has the unique ability to "crawl" through tubes with the width of human veins and arteries, even going against the flow of blood at the speed in which it passes through blood vessels.

It is too early to know what medical uses the robot will have, but they suggest the possibility of being involved in brachytherapy, in which cancer patients are exposed to short-distance adiotherapy from a source placed inside or next to the area requiring treatment. Brachytherapy is commonly used to treat localized prostate cancer and cancers of the head and neck. In addition, numerous robots could be used simultaneously to deal with a large number of metastases (malignant tumors spread through the body).

The researchers stress that the project is an "interesting development, but it has a long way to go before it is used in medicine." Solomon says that the tiny robot could be controlled for an unlimited amount of time to carry out any necessary medical procedure. The power source is an external magnetic field created near the patient that does not cause any harm to humans but supplies an endless supply of power for it to function. The robot's special structure enables it to move while being controlled by the operator using the magnetic field.

The researchers noted that scientists at Kyoto University in Japan are developing a robot to travel independently in the human body. However, they said that its size of one centimeter in diameter would not allow it to pass into human veins. The Israeli robot, however, was only one millimeter in diameter, they said.

"Medicine is going to be much more focused, and the need to reach an exact target will only increase," say the Israeli researchers.

"The academic world is trying to create a robot that will be tiny enough to pass through the body and at the same time have navigational abilities for performing complex medical tasks," added Prof. Moshe Shaham of the Technion, who is a participant in the research.

Shaham has already developed a robot for the Mazor company that today is used in many hospitals around the world for performing spinal surgery.

The Haifa/Ariel robot is built as a central structure with tiny arms that allow it to grab onto the insides of tubes. Any movement makes it possible to advance a bit, and its unique hair-like structure allows travel through many sizes of tubes. Blood vessels in the body are not uniform in their diameter size, so it is important that the robot can "hold on" inside various sized tubes, they said.

In Fantastic Voyage, a secret agent is recruited by a top-secret organization to join the crew of a submarine called Proteus. The crew and submarine are reduced to microscopic size and injected into the bloodstream of scientist Jan Benes, who defects to the West and goes into a coma after suffering a surgically inaccessible blood clot. They must reach the brain with a laser to melt the clot within an hour or the miniaturization effect will wear off. However, the voyage is undermined by one of the crew who is a saboteur and is prepared to risk everything to stop the mission.

Scientists Turn Cockroaches Into Zombie Slaves
Friday , November 30, 2007

Israeli scientists have figured out how to turn cockroaches into zombie slaves.

They're replicated the mysterious power of the jewel wasp, also known as the emerald cockroach wasp, which incorporates the cockroach into its reproductive cycle in a most gruesome way.

Most parasitic wasps paralyze their victims, but the jewel wasp's sting mysteriously leaves a cockroach able to walk, yet robbed of all free will.

The wasp leads the zombie roach back to its lair, lays an egg in the poor creature and then lets the wasp larva eat the roach alive from the inside out.

• Click here to watch a video clip of a wasp zombifying a cockroach.

The Israeli team, led by Frederic Libersat of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, discovered that a synthetic form of the neurotransmitter octopamine freed stung cockroaches from their zombie-like state.

They then injected other roaches with compounds that blocked octopamine -- and turned them into docile zombies.

The study was documented in the Journal of Experimental Biology.

Israeli scientists are the most prolific authors on a per capita basis of articles published in scientific journals related to stem cell research, with the US lagging in sixth place, and the UK falling in seventh place, according to a recently published study by the Central Library of the Research Center Jlich in Germany.

Raphael Ball, director of Research Center Jlich's Central Library and an author of the study, told The Scientist that the strong showing on a per capita basis of Israel and other small nations indicates a strong national commitment for stem cell research, as well as good use of scientific and financial resources. "It could be that the efficiency in the US and other major (stem cell) nations is not as high as it could be," Ball said.

From 2000-2004, Israeli scientists published 113 articles for each 1 million citizens, followed by Sweden with 82 articles for each 1 million citizens. Switzerland was next with 76 articles, followed by the Netherlands and Austria, according to the study, which was published in the March issue of the German science magazine "Bild der Wissenschaft."

Rounding out the Top 10 per capita were the US, with 47 articles per 1 million citizens, the UK with 44 articles, Canada with 41, and Germany and Finland each with 40 articles per 1 million citizens.

In terms of total number of stem cell publishing, however, US-based scientists have by far authored the most stem cell articles, some 13,663 in 2000-2004 -- 42% of total articles. Germany came in second with 10.2% of the total, followed by Japan, the UK, France, Italy, Canada, The Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden. Israeli scientists published 690 articles in 2000-2004.

The stem cell publishing data was compiled by the Bibliometric Analysis Unit of Research Center Jlich's Central Library by reviewing titles, abstracts, and keywords of more than 6,000 natural science journals tracked by the Science Citation Index, a database operated by Thomson Scientific.

Dov Zipori, based at the Department of Molecular Cell Biology at Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science, told The Scientist that another reason for Israel's strong showing is that the region was home to "pioneering studies" of bone marrow stem cells in the early 1960s. "The fact that the first steps in the development of stem cell studies occurred in Israel, formed a platform on which stem cell research developed in Israel," Zipori said.

And the Israeli government is financially supportive of this research, he added. "We are not restricted to the same extent as are American scientists who are forbidden to derive embryo stem cell lines when using federal funds," Zipori said.

Now go Israeli 2 Nobel's and that leaves 149 for the rest of world Jewry. They must be really thick in Israel.

And the JVL has it down as Jewry world population as 13,085,500.
