'Bad Carbs'Not The Enemy, Professor Finds
The latest common wisdom on carbohydrates claims that eating so-called "bad"carbohydrates will make you fat, but University of Virginia professor Glenn Gaesser says, "that's just nonsense."Eating sandwiches with white bread, or an occasional doughnut, isn't going to kill you, or necessarily even lead to obesity, he said. Versatile Computer Program Works For Detecting Best Blogs And Worst Wa
Being among the first to pick up on Internet news and gossip and rapidly detecting contamination anywhere in a water supply system are similar problems, at least from a computer scientist's point of view. Both can be solved with a versatile new algorithm. Flu Chip May Help Combat Future Epidemics, Pandemics
A novel "Flu Chip"developed at the University of Colorado at Boulder that can determine the genetic signatures of specific influenza strains from patient samples within hours may help world health officials combat coming epidemics and pandemics. Heparin Can Cause Skin Lesions
Heparin, a commonly used anticoagulant, can cause skin lesions, reports a new study. Skin lesions caused by heparin may indicate the presence of a life-threatening decrease in the number of platelets, a condition called "heparin-induced thrombocytopenia" or, in most cases, a self-limiting, allergic skin reaction. Integrated Receiver For High Frequency Applications On A Tiny Chip
Scientists have combined a receiver for high frequencies with an antenna on a small chip. This circuit can be used, for instance, in radiometer systems in future safety systems looking for concealed weapons without an intrusive search. Local Interventions Have Little Effect On Metapopulation Stability
Sutirth Dey and Amitabh Joshi of Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore, India used laboratory metapopulations of fruitflies in the first experimental test of whether a constant localized perturbation can stabilize a real biological metapopulation. Completed Genome Set To Transform The Cow
Analysis of data gleaned from the Bovine Genome Sequencing Project should lead to major improvements in cattle breeding technologies being achieved in the near future. 3-D Ultrasound Identifies Women At Risk For Impending Preterm Birth
To help physicians non-invasively identify women at risk for preterm birth, 3-D ultrasound was used to measure the size of fetal adrenal glands, according to an abstract presented by Yale School of Medicine researchers at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine Conference February 8 in San Francisco.

Using a technique called ultrasonic spray pyrolysis, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have created an improved catalyst for removing smelly sulfur-containing compounds from gasoline and other fossil fuels. The improved catalyst is a form of molybdenum disulfide, most commonly recognized as the black lubricant used to grease automobiles and machinery.
