Strokes Will Cost U.S. $2.2 Trillion By 2050 If Prevention, Treatment
Unless Americans do more to lower their risk of stroke and improve stroke care, the nation will pay $2.2 trillion over the next 45 years to care for people who suffer the most common form of stroke, a new study predicts. And a disproportionate share of the bill will be for African-American and Latino stroke patients, because of their tendency to suffer strokes at younger ages and get poorer preventive care. Molecular Chaos Observed For The First Time
A researcher has created the first experimental observation of molecular chaos, providing evidence that a widely accepted, yet unproven, assumption is indeed accurate. Molecular chaos is an assumption that the velocities of colliding particles are uncorrelated and independent of position. An example of molecular chaos is the air in any room. While the nitrogen and oxygen atoms are flying around with some average square speed because of the temperature in the room, they are not related, so the air does not spontaneously fly off in one direction of the room without some sort of external pressure change, like a window opening. Lizards 'Shout' Against A Noisy Background
Lizards that signal to rivals with a visual display "shout"to get their point across, UC Davis researchers have found. Male anole lizards signal ownership of their territory by sitting up on a tree trunk, bobbing their heads up and down and extending a colorful throat pouch. They can spot a rival lizard up to 25 meters away, said Terry Ord, a postdoctoral researcher at UC Davis who is working with Judy Stamps, professor of evolution and ecology. NOAA Offers Electronic Field Guide To Harmful Algal Blooms In Great L
A new Web site, created by the NOAA Center of Excellence for Great Lakes and Human Health, serves as an electronic field guide to the types, locations and habits of harmful algal blooms in the Great Lakes. Payola Accusation Rocks Music Mag
Amplifier allegedly tries to squeeze a record label for advertising money, threatening to cut off coverage if it doesn't pay up. In Listening Post. Putting Relativity To The Test, NASA's Gravity Probe B Experiment Is O
Almost 90 years after Einstein postulated his general theory of relativity -- our current theory of gravity -- scientists have finally finished collecting the data that will put this theory to an experimental test. For the past 17 months, NASA's Gravity Probe-B (GP-B) satellite has been orbiting the Earth using four ultra-precise gyroscopes, about a million times better than the finest navigational gyroscopes, to generate the data required for this unprecedented test. Leading Cause Of Death In 'Preemies'Might Be Controlled By Resetting A
Blocking signals from a key molecular receptor that normally switches on the intestine's immune response but instead becomes too intense in the presence of stress and toxins may help reverse necrotizing enterocolitis, a leading cause of death in premature newborns. The Palm Springs Modern Committee
This organization is dedicated to preservation of the mid-20th century architectural style favored in Palm Springs, California, known as Desert Modernism. "Notable for its use of glass, clean lines, natural and manmade materials, and indoor/outdoor spaces, Desert Modernism defined a lifestyle of elegant informality."Find building images representing key architects (such as William Cody and Albert Frey), information about lost buildings, and news about committee activities. Duke, Woods Hole Geologists Discover 'Clockwork' Motion By Ocean Floor
A team of geologists from Duke University and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution has discovered a grinding, coordinated ballet of crustal "microplates"unfolding below the equatorial east Pacific Ocean within a construction zone for new seafloor. Blood-spinal Cord Barrier Compromised In Mice With ALS
The blood-spinal cord barrier is functionally impaired in areas of motor neuron damage in mice modeling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, report researchers. The barrier disruption was found in mice at both early and late stages of ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.
