Mayo Clinic Develops New Coma Measurement System
Mayo Clinic neurologists have created the first new, reliable and easy-to-use clinical tool in 30 years for measuring coma depth, a proposed replacement for the Glasgow Coma Scale. Combustion Of Waste May Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
A joint research project has proved that development of waste management is a cost-efficient means to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. Considerable reductions can be achieved by combustion of waste and by collecting methane from landfills. The collected methane can either be used directly in energy production or flared off, i.e. eliminated through combustion without energy production. New Molecule May Aid In Production Of Biofuels And Fungi-resistant Pla
In a recent study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, scientists report on the discovery of a new molecule that is essential for degradation of the biopolymer chitin. This new molecule could eventually aid in the engineering of fungi-resistant plants and could also lead to the discovery of similar molecules that can be used in cellulose-based biofuel production. Red Cell Substitute Shows Promise As Treatment For Sickle Cell Disease
Studies in mice suggest that a red blood cell substitute based on human hemoglobin could be a promising new treatment for sickle cell disease in humans. Researchers report on experiments in mice genetically engineered to produce a condition similar to human sickle cell disease--an inherited disorder in which the red blood cells have an abnormal sickled or crescent-moon shape. Especially during attacks called "sickle cell crises,"the sickle cells obstruct small blood vessels, blocking blood flow to organs and other parts of the body and thereby depriving the body's tissues of oxygen. Using Computerized Sense Of Touch Over Long Distances: Haptics For Ind
Firstly, what is "Haptics"? This term means "of or relating to the sense of touch."Haptic technology, or haptics, refers to the technology that connects the user to a computerized system via the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations and/or motions to the user. Quantum Device Traps, Detects And Manipulates The Spin Of Single Elect
Engineers have made a novel device that simply and conveniently traps, detects and manipulates the single spin of an electron, overcoming some major obstacles that have prevented progress toward spintronics and spin-based quantum computing.

Andy Wain had to abandon the Sunday league match between Peterborough North End and a Royal Mail side in the 63rd minute after throwing down his whistle and marching up to confront North End's keeper. La MER: Louisiana Marine Educational Resources
Teaching resources on Louisiana marine and coastal environment topics, such as marshes, estuaries, wetlands, coastal ecology, native fish, manatees, exotic species (including nutria and zebra mussels), and more. From the Louisiana Sea Grant College Program. Summer Test: Flash Media Players
These tiny gadgets pump out music, play videos and more. Find out which ones deliver the most bang for you buck. Basic Mechanism Found In How Aging Blood Vessels Lose Their Elasticity
Researchers in the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University have discovered a fundamental mechanism that causes aging blood vessels to lose their elasticity -- a literal "hardening of the arteries"that is often a prelude to high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. An understanding of this mechanism provides an important new target for both drugs and dietary changes that might help prevent or treat atherosclerosis and heart disease.
