Beethoven As Human Emotions In Music
a: Beethoven ~
b: human emotions come to life in music
What: "I agree completely. Mozart is great, but it doesn't stir up any feelings for me. Beethoven is like human emotions come to life in music. I love playing Moonlight on the piano, and singing in the 9th symphony was one of the most spectacular experiences I've ever had."

Gene As Element? Metal?
a: Patenting a gene ~
b: patenting a metal extracted from earth
What: "My opinion is that patenting a gene is like patenting a metal after extracting it from the earth," said David Korn, M.D., professor of pathology at Harvard Medical School; co-chair of the National Academies' Committee on Science, Technology, and Law; and former AAMC chief scientific officer. "You can't patent the naturally occurring elements in the periodic table like copper, iron, or nickel. Extracting DNA from cells and purifying it and identifying its sequence is equivalent to extracting a metal and purifying it from its attached salts."

A Coffee Decaffination Process
a: Carbon dioxide ~
b: a magnet
What: "The beans are soaked in a bath of supercritical carbon dioxide at very high pressure for about 10 hours. The carbon dioxide is like a magnet and attracts all the caffeine molecules. When the pressure is reduced the CO2 evaporates. This process has the advantage of not using any harmful substances and does not chemically affect the proteins or carbohydrates of the bean."
