Formula that can ID music industry payola developed
Researchers have invented a statistical method that can detect payola-like corruption in the music industry, a system that gives law enforcement an inexpensive statistical guide to identify potential music corruption and to better target more traditional and much more costly hands-on evidence-gathering. New Mechanism For Amyloid Beta Protein's Toxic Impact On The Alzheimer
Scientists have uncovered a novel mechanism linking soluble amyloid b protein with the synaptic injury and memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The research provides critical new insight into disease pathogenesis and reveals signaling molecules that may serve as potential additional therapeutic targets for AD. What Is The Best Treatment Strategy For Early Rheumatoid Arthritis?
While the recent increase in therapeutic options offers much promise, it has left doctors grappling with the question: What is the best treatment strategy for a patient newly diagnosed with RA? The results of a long-term study, featured in the November 2005 issue of Arthritis &Rheumatism, provide clear answers. New Maps Emphasize The Human Factor In Wildfire Management
As wildfires put more and more human lives and property at risk, people are looking to fire managers for protection. Robotics Lab Helps Stroke Patients With Recovery
Robotics engineers and doctors are developing a PC-based system for stroke rehabilitation. Sixteen patients are testing a prototype system. They use joysticks to move objects on a computer screen. Using force-feedback technology, the joystick resists moves in the wrong direction and guides patients along the right path. Researchers hope to refine the system to allow stroke patients to recover more quickly. New Oil-repelling Material Created
Engineers have designed the first simple process for manufacturing materials that strongly repel oils. The material, which can be applied as a flexible surface coating, could have applications in aviation, space travel and hazardous waste cleanup. Allergy Drugs More Harmful Than Helpful For Chronic Ear Inflammation
Children who have persistent fluid in the middle ear, a condition called otitis media with effusion, are more likely to be harmed than helped by antihistamines and decongestants, a new review of studies has found. Saturn's Moons Titan And Enceladus Seen By Cassini
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has had a busy week, snapping stunning new images of two of Saturn's moons -- smoggy Titan on Feb. 15 and wrinkled Enceladus on Feb. 16. Visible in radar images released today are a crater, channels, and terrain similar to the area where the European Space Agency's Huygens probe landed on Jan. 14. Generate molecular formula
A rather common search on the sciencebase site seems to ask how to generate a molecular formula. Well, the method I use is to go straight to ChemSketch and fire up ACD/Dictionary, type in the name of the compound I want to produce and paste it into the ChemSketch window. ... High-performance Accelerator Mass Spectrometer Opens New Perspectives
The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) has opened up entirely new perspectives for the geosciences, climate and environmental research with the announcement that it is to fund a new major piece of scientific instrumentation that is unique in Germany.
