From the U.S. Climate Change Science Program. Lipids Get New Comprehensive Classification System
In response to the growing number of lipids expected to be discovered through lipidomics and in anticipation of the massive amounts of data that will be generated by the lipid community, an international group of scientists has developed a comprehensive classification, nomenclature, and chemical representation system for lipids. The details of the system appear in the May issue of the Journal of Lipid Research, an American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology journal. Some Foods And Beverages Could Hold Clues For Future Diabetes Treatmen

Termites Feed Through Good Vibrations
The discovery that termites use vibrations to choose the wood they eat may provide opportunities to new methods of reducing infestations in homes and also may provide insights into the "cocktail party effect"of signal processing -- how to ignore most noise but have some signals that trigger attention -- that may prove useful in artificial intelligence. Carbon Monoxide Test Helps Doctors Determine Patients'Smoking Status
New research says pulse cooximeters can detect a person's smoking status. The study argues that if smokers know their blood carbon monoxide levels, they may be more prone to quit or more likely to never start in the first place.
