X-Message-Number: 24071 Date: Sat, 8 May 2004 10:36:15 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug Skrecky <> Subject: 135'th update on fly longevity experiments This is the 135'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average temperature was 20.9 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 129 days. This run examines more types of cooked beans. The only notable item is that the control maximum longevity was 95 days, which ties with the 2'nd highest previous control longevity, obtained in run #89.
