UF, Nine Other Universities Complete Ultrahigh-speed Data Network
Whether mapping genes, probing elemental particles or monitoring global warming, more and more scientists rely on massive data vaults located at universities and institutions around the world. Breast Cancer Prognosis Runs In The Family
The chances of developing breast cancer are to some extent inherited, but important new findings suggest survival also runs in the family. Research published in the online journal Breast Cancer Research suggests that if a woman succumbs to breast cancer her daughters or sisters are over 60 percent more likely to die within five years if they develop the disease. Exposure To Sunlight May Decrease Risk Of Prostate Cancer
In the largest such study to date, a research team from three cancer centers measured sunlight exposure in men and found that increased exposure to sunlight may decrease the risk of prostate cancer. The Impeachment Trial of President Andrew Johnson: Supplement to the C
Digitized supplement to the Congressional Globe (the predecessor to the Congressional Record) that provides a record of the documents and debates for the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson. Includes an index to the document and links to other Library of Congress resources related to the impeachment of President Johnson and the impeachment process in general. A special presentation from a larger collection of the American Memory Project of the Library of Congress. Cheesy 'Scab Writer' Offers Hollywood a Helping Hand
A mercenary scribe's priceless promo videos give movie and TV execs a taste of his inimitable wordsmith skills -- and a glimpse of a strike-fueled entertainment horror show. 'Drunk' Fruit Flies Could Shed Light On Genetic Basis Of Human Alcohol
Fruit flies get "drunk,"just like humans, when exposed to large amounts of alcohol and may in future help to explain why some people are genetically predisposed to alcohol abuse. Humans and fruit flies respond to alcohol in a very similar way at the gene level, according to a study published today in the open access journal Genome Biology. Cutting the Cost of Watts and Soaking up CO2
In this month’s Intute Spotlight, I report on a new approach to carbon storage that researchers hope will allow us to reduce or stabilise atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, although I have my doubts.Carbon sequestration is a well-studied theoretical approach to reduce carbon emissions by locking up carbon dioxide deep in the ground or on the [...] Eat Less To Live Longer: Calorie Restriction Linked To Long Healthy Li
For nearly 70 years scientists have known that caloric restriction prolongs life. In everything from yeast to primates, a significant decrease in calories can extend lifespan by as much as one-third. But getting under the hood of the molecular machinery that drives this longevity has remained elusive. Researchers have now discovered two genes in mammalian cells that act as gatekeepers for cellular longevity. When cells experience certain kinds of stress, such as caloric restriction, these genes rev up and help protect cells from diseases of aging. How Bacteria In Cows'Milk May Cause Crohn's Disease
Scientists have found how a bacterium, known to cause illness in cattle, may cause Crohn's disease in humans. Crohn's is a condition that affects one in 800 people in the UK and causes chronic intestinal inflammation, leading to pain, bleeding and diarrhea. [Unlikely] Profanity in 'Doonesbury' Rankles Papers
