	Blast Wave - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft
		Blast Wave is a mage spell that deals Fire damage and dazes all enemies within 10 yds of the caster.
		Blast Wave deals fire damage, and thus gains the benefit of the talents Impact, Ignite, Burning Soul, Master of Elements, Critical Mass, Fire Power, Pyromaniac, and Elemental Precision.
		Between Blast Wave, Frost Nova, Cone of Cold, Blink, Cold Armors, and Frostbolt, a mage is a slippery target to catch.

	BLAST
		BLAST was developed and is maintained by a group at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
		BLAST is based on an explicit statistical theory developed by Samuel Karlin and Steven Altschul (PNAS 87:2284-2268.
		BLAST is not guaranteed to find the best alignment between your query and the database; it may miss matches.

	BLAST
		BLAST is known as "gapped BLAST" because, in addition to offering a three-fold speedup over the original BLAST, it generates gapped alignments between query and database sequences.
		BLAST is a client for an implementation of gapped BLAST (Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Research 25; 3389-3402 (1997)), an heuristic algorithm for searching protein and nucleic acid databases for similarities to query sequences.
		To generate the gapped local alignment, BLAST uses a standard dynamic programming algorithm for pairwise sequence alignment which traverses the cells of a path graph, the dimensions of which are the lengths of the two sequences being compared, performing a fixed amount of computation per each cell.

		Blast has conducted these explorations in terms of a publication, investigating the changing procedures, systems, and positions of this medium as it intertwines with emerging communications networks.
		The spaces of Blast are now the vast urban networks of representations, technologies, and embodied agents that codetermine each other in complex patterns and modalities.
		The new agenda for Blast is to articulate and embody the agents and forms of this struggle, developing new formats, strategies, procedures, and encounters.

	BLAST - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The BLAST algorithm and the computer program that implements it were developed by Stephen Altschul, Warren Gish, David Lipman at the U.S. National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), Webb Miller at The Pennsylvania State University, and Gene Myers at the University of Arizona.
		BLAST searches for high scoring sequence alignments between the query sequence and sequences in the database using a heuristic approach that approximates the Smith-Waterman algorithm.
		In the third stage, BLAST performs a gapped alignment between the query sequence and the database sequence using a variation of the Smith-Waterman algorithm.

	WU BLAST 2.0 Description
		WU BLAST 2.0 is copyrighted and may not be sold, redistributed or modified in any form or by any means, without prior express written consent from the Office of Technology Management at Washington University in St. Louis.
		WU BLAST provides highly flexible means for applying both “hard” and “soft” masks to a query sequence; supports alternative, user-defined filter programs; and allows the use of non-standard parameters to the standard filters.
		The first version of BLAST to use Karlin and Altschul (1993) “Sum” statistics to evaluate the joint probability of multiple HSPs was BLAST 1.4 (W. Gish, unpublished).

	BLAST Searching
		BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) is a set of programs designed to perform similarity searches on all available sequence data.
		BLAST uses an algorithm developed by NCBI that seeks out local alignment (the alignment of some portion of two sequences) as opposed to global alignment (the alignment of two sequences over their entire length).
		In BLAST results, this option provides a graphic depiction of how the similar sequences retrieved from the databases (the subject sequences) line up with the query sequence (the thick red line at the top).

		A blast furnace is said to be in blast while it is in operation, and out of blast when not in use.
		Blast furnace, a furnace, usually a shaft furnace for smelting ores, into which air is forced by pressure.
		To be blighted or withered; as, the bud blasted in the blossom.

	Chips developed by Bell Labs will enable mobile devices to receive more than 19 megabits of data per second on 3G ... (Site not responding. Last check: )
		These chips, one for detecting BLAST signals and the other for decoding them, are small enough and consume so little power that they could be used in cell phones or laptop computers with minimal impact on battery life.
		BLAST technology essentially exploits a theoretical concept that many researchers believed was impossible.
		BLAST splits a single user's data stream into multiple sub-streams and uses an array of transmitter antennas to simultaneously launch the streams in parallel.

		We can set the Expect threshold on the BLAST command line, but percent identity is not a command line option for BLAST.

	IGN: Blast Factor Review
		Movement is controlled with the left analog stick and shooting is handled with the right; while a tap of the R2 button uses the "repeller" to slow down time for more accurate and close-up obliterations.
		Of course, Blast Factor's true selling point is that it uses the Sixaxis tilt functionality to manipulate the field.
		Blast Factor is an accessible first attempt for the PlayStation Store and Network, but it doesn't stand out in any one area.

	Help for the ExPASy BLAST Interface
		A display of the BLAST hits as a taxonomic tree is also available from the result page, by clicking on the "Taxonomic view of BLAST hits" button.
		At the top of the BLAST output are the sequences with the best scores for the Identity matrix (sequences picked up by the identity matrix have a additional score displayed in red at the end of the line).
		Since the length of hit sequences in the database may vary quite widely, the total length of each hit sequence is drawn as a gray box in a square-root scale (the scale is indicated at the top).

	BLAST definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
		BLAST: Abbreviation for Basic Local Alignment Search Tool, a computer program that identifies homologous genes in different organisms (such as worms, the fruit fly, mice, and humans).
		A surprisingly large proportion of the human genome shares homology with the genome of other organisms (such as the mouse, the fruit fly and even the round worm).
		For example, there may be a gene in mice to do with liking (or not liking) to consume alcohol; using BLAST we can check the human genome in search of an homologous gene.

	Fire Blast - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft
		Fire Blast deals fire damage, and thus gains the benefit of the talents Impact, Ignite, Burning Soul, Master of Elements, Critical Mass, Fire Power, Pyromaniac, and Elemental Precision.
		Fire Blast must be cast while facing the target, but it is possible to jump, turn back to cast, then turn forward again before landing.
		A common technique to achieve burst damage is to cast Fire Blast right at the tail end of a long cast spell, such as Fireball or Frostbolt.

	BLAST (Site not responding. Last check: )
		BLAST is an extraordinarily bandwidth-efficient approach to wireless communication which takes advantage of the spatial dimension by transmitting and detecting a number of independent co-channel data streams using multiple, essentially co-located, antennas.
		The central paradigm behind BLAST is the exploitation, rather than the mitigation, of multipath effects in order to achieve very high spectral efficiencies (bits/sec/Hz), significantly higher than are possible when multipath is viewed as an adversary rather than an ally.
		Using our laboratory testbed, the BLAST team recently demonstrated what we believe to be unprecedented wireless spectral efficiencies, ranging from 20 - 40 bps/Hz.

	BLAST
		BLAST is a statistically driven search method that finds regions of similarity between your query and database sequences and produces gapped alignments of these regions.
		BLAST compares a query sequence with a database sequence by first locating two non-overlapping sequence segments in common within a certain distance of each other, and then attempts to extend these putative "hits" into locally optimal alignments between the sequences being compared.
		Gapped BLAST is described in Altschul, Stephen F., Madden, Thomas L., Schaffer, Alejandro A., Zhang, Jinghui, Zhang, Zheng, Miller, Webb, and Lipman, David J. Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs.
