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. ... Wildfire Drives Carbon Levels In Northern Forests
Far removed from streams of gas-thirsty cars and pollution-belching factories lies another key player in global climate change. Circling the northern hemisphere, the conifer-dominated boreal forests -- one of the largest ecosystems on earth -- act as a vast natural regulator of atmospheric carbon levels. Hangover Culprit Found
Acetaldehyde may be the culprit behind hangovers, according to new research from Japan. Four Health Behaviors Can Add 14 Extra Years Of Life
People who adopt four healthy behaviors -- not smoking; taking exercise; moderate alcohol intake; and eating five servings of fruit and vegetables a day -- live on average an additional 14 years of life compared with people who adopt none of these behaviors, according to a new study. PET Scans Can Accurately Detect A Breast Tumor's Response To Chemother
Positron emission tomography that uses a radioactive sugar molecule is more useful than mammography and ultrasound in predicting a breast tumor's response to chemotherapy and, therefore, the patient's ultimate likelihood of survival. Air Pollution Linked To Early Death
Even comparatively low levels of air pollution boost the chances of an early death, suggests new research. Black smoke and sulphur dioxide were strongly linked to the chances of an early death, the findings showed. The findings confirm the enduring legacy of air pollution on health, say the authors. Study Identifies Gene In Mice That May Control Risk-taking Behavior In
Scientists at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have found that a specific neurodevelopmental gene, called neuroD2, is related to the development of an almond-shaped area of the brain called the amygdala, the brain's emotional seat. Hall of Flame Fire Museum/National Firefighting Hall of Heroes
This museum in Phoenix, Arizona, features exhibits of restored firefighting equipment and "honors firefighters who have died in the line of duty or who have been decorated for heroism."The site includes images of objects and graphics in the collection. Most of the exhibits are of material from the United States. Also includes links to related sites. Blood Transfusions Raise Heart Patients' Infection And Death Risk -- E
Blood transfusions save the lives of millions of heart surgery patients and others each year. But a new study suggests that patients who receive transfusions during heart bypass surgery have a higher risk of developing potentially dangerous infections, and dying, after their operation. Prediction Of Gene Function In Mammals
Gene function in mammals can be quickly and reliably predicted using a high-throughput analysis of patterns of RNA expression, according to an article published in Journal of Biology. This challenges the conventional view that tissue-specificity is the best predictor of function, and could speed up the quest to understand whole genomes, in humans and other mammals, by decades.
