Discusses cleaning, ventilation, and artist materials. Part of a collection of how-to articles for artists and musicians, from a nonprofit arts organization. Creating Males With Female Sex Chromosomes: Brain Gene Flicks The Swit
Researchers have discovered a way of creating a male mouse without a Y chromosome by manipulating a single gene in the developing foetus. 'Hot'Ice Could Lead To Medical Device
Physicists have shown that specially treated diamond coatings can keep water frozen at body temperature, a finding that may have applications in future medical implants. Researchers spent a year building and examining computer models that showed that a layer of diamond coated with sodium atoms will keep water frozen up to 108 degrees Fahrenheit. In ice, water molecules are arranged in a rigid framework that gives the substance its hardness. The process of melting is somewhat like a building falling down: pieces that had been arranged into a rigid structure move and flow against one another, becoming liquid water. Men Who Smoke Heavily May Impair Sperm, Fertility
Men who smoke cigarettes may experience a significant decline in their capacity to father a child, research by a reproductive medicine specialist from the University at Buffalo has shown. Electronic Orange Book: Approved Drug Products With Therapeutic Equiva

Searchable by active ingredient, proprietary name, applicant holder, application number, and patent. Includes an FAQ. From the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. Simple Tool Can Boost Motivation, Improve Health In Older Adults
Researchers have identified a tool -- the "getting-out-of-bed measure" -- to assess motivation and life outlook in older adults. The study shows that the tool has the potential to be an easy-to-use measure to bolster motivation and thus improve health behaviors and outcomes in the growing population of older adults. Surf's Up: Professor Using Models To Predict Huge Waves
If you're a ship captain and there might be 50-foot waves headed your way, you'd appreciate some information about them, right? That's the idea behind a wave model system a Texas A&M University at Galveston professor has developed. His detailed wave prediction system is currently in use in the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf of Maine. Upper Midwest Forests Are Losing Diversity, Complexity
Forests in the nation's Upper Midwest have changed greatly since the time of the early settlers. And more changes may be coming. Researchers found that none of the areas surveyed - from Minnesota to Wisconsin to Michigan - have the same tree species makeup as they did 200 years ago. Physicists Show Coherence Of Bose-Einstein Condensates Extends To Spin
New research shows that the unique properties of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates extend to the internal spin states of the atoms from which the condensates are formed. Bose-Einstein condensates are an unusual form of matter in which all atoms exist in the same quantum state.
