Familiar Songs Act As Strong Memory Cues, K-State Researcher Finds
Memories associated with music are strong. So strong that even the mere mention of a song's title or a glimpse of the album cover can bring the recollections of a time or place flooding back. New System Of Wastewater Treatment Could Reduce The Size Of Treatment
Researchers have developed new technologies to obtain cheaper water of higher quality that would also reduce unwanted mud production. Research is particularly interesting if the current drought is taken into account, as well as the lack of space many municipalities have when the number of inhabitants grows, which makes it impossible to enlarge their water treatment plants. Results of this research were recently published in several prestigious scientific journals: Journal of Environmental Science Health, Part A; and Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology. Computer Scientists Create 'light Field Camera' Banishing Fuzzy Photos
We've all done it. Lost that priceless Kodak moment by snapping a photo that was grainy, dark, overexposed or out of focus. While user ineptitude is often at the root of our blurry snapshots, the limits of conventional cameras can be to blame as well. But Stanford computer scientists are now making strides to combat the fuzzy photo by bringing photographic technology into sharp focus. NWS to Upgrade in Hurricane Areas
The government's equipment for monitoring wind speed is run by electricity without backup and often fails during storms. Lack of accurate information affects damage claims and Congress authorizes funds for an upgrade. Recommended Self-Help Books

Childhood Deficits In The Cerebellum May Be Linked To Adult Alcoholism
In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers in the March issue of Alcoholism: Clinical &Experimental Research have found that developmental deficits in cerebellar function -- as reflected by measures of motor development in the first year of life -- may predict the development of adult alcohol dependence. Nanotech Discovery Could Have Radical Implications; Princeton Group Ou
In a paper appearing in the current issue of Physical Review Letters, Princeton University scientist Salvatore Torquato turns a central concept of nanotechnology on its head. The theory could have radical implications not just for industries like telecommunications and computers but also for our understanding of the nature of life. Kristallnacht: The November 1938 Pogroms
"On November 9, 1938, the Nazis unleashed a wave of pogroms against Germany's Jews. In the space of a few hours, thousands of synagogues and Jewish businesses and homes were damaged or destroyed. This event came to be called Kristallnacht ('Night of Broken Glass') for the shattered store windowpanes."This site features an exhibition with a historical overview and details about what was destroyed. From the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Researchers Develop Resin Beads That Capture Mad Cow Disease Agent Fro
For the first time, experimental results indicate that it is possible to use a resin filter to remove harmful prion proteins from the blood of an infected animal, a finding that has major implications for the removal of infectious prion proteins -- the agents associated with variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, mad cow disease, scrapie and other prion diseases in animals -- during blood transfusions. Autism: Removing Thimerosal From Vaccines Did Not Reduce Autism Cases
Autism cases continued to increase in California after the mercury-containing preservative thimerosal was eliminated from most childhood vaccines, according to a report. This suggests that exposure to thimerosal is not a primary cause of autism.
