Storm Killers: Earth Scan Lab Tracks Cold Water Upwellings In Gulf
As researchers develop new ways to better understand and predict the nature of individual storms, a largely unstudied phenomenon has caught the attention of scientists. Cool water upwellings occurring within ocean cyclones following alongside and behind hurricanes are sometimes strong enough to reduce the strength of hurricanes as they cross paths. Self-managing Internet Applications Flex Their Muscles
A European research project that incubates self-managing internet applications is paying off. It has inspired a Wikipedia that's potentially able to handle more users than the original and super-efficient streaming video, with more to come. Anxiety Before Surgery Complicates Recovery In Children
Children who are anxious before surgery experience a more painful, slow, and complicated postoperative recovery, according to a Yale School of Medicine study published this month in Pediatrics. Newly Discovered 'Branding' Process Helps Immune System Cells Pick The
Scientists have uncovered a new method the immune system uses to label foreign invaders as targets to be attacked. Researchers showed that the immune system can brand foreign proteins by chemically modifying their structure, and that these modifications increased the chances that cells known as lymphocytes would recognize the trespassers and attack them. Avoiding Sweets May Spell A Longer Life, Study In Worms Suggests
Worms live to an older age when they are unable to process the simple sugar glucose. Glucose is a primary source of energy for the body, and can be found in all major dietary carbohydrates as a component of starches and other forms of sugar, including sucrose and lactose. Multidetector CT Accurately Locates Bowel Perforation Avoiding Need Fo
Multidetector CT (MDCT) without the use of contrast media can show the precise site of a bowel perforation, avoiding the need for surgeons to do exploratory surgery of the patient's gastrointestinal tract to locate the problem, a new study shows. Mayo Clinic Researchers: Stroke Risk Significant In Month Following He
A Mayo Clinic research team discovered that heart attack patients have a 44-fold increased risk of stroke in the 30 days following the heart attack, compared with the general population, according to findings published in the current Annals of Internal Medicine. About 22.6 strokes occurred within the first 30 days of the heart attack for every 1,000 patients followed. Nanoparticles Used To Target Brain Cancer
Tiny particles one-billionth of a meter in size can be loaded with high concentrations of drugs designed to kill brain cancer. What's more, these nanoparticles can be used to image and track tumors as well as destroy them, according to researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. Reaping power from the sewage farm
A device that generates electricity while treating sewage is being developed by Bruce Logan and Booki Min at Pennsylvania State University. Light harvest for the world
In order to trap the energy from sunlight antenna plants construct chlorophyll groups through chemical self-assembly in a highly ordered manner. Emulating this system would not only improve our understanding of how plants function so effectively but could also lead to new materials for harvesting solar energy as an alternative to silicon-based photovoltaic devices.
