Supercomputing On Demand: New Resource for Rapid Response
Somewhere in Southern California a large earthquake strikes without warning, and the news media and the public clamor for information about the temblor -- Where was the epicenter? How large was the quake? What areas did it impact? A neew supercomputing system can make a difference. Why Doesn't The Immune System Attack The Small Intestine? New Study Pr
Answering one of the oldest questions in human physiology, researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have discovered why the body's immune system -- perpetually on guard against foreign microbes like bacteria -- doesn't attack tissues in the small intestine that harbor millions of bacteria cells.

The new head of the Senate Judiciary Committee sends a message that oversight of Bush administration antiterrorism programs will be a key priority. Will subpoenas be far off? In 27B Stroke 6. Rensselaer Researchers Develop Approach That Predicts Protein Separati
Applying math and computers to the drug discovery process, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a method to predict protein separation behavior directly from protein structure. This new multi-scale protein modeling approach may reduce the time it takes to bring pharmaceuticals to market and may have significant implications for an array of biotechnology applications, including bioprocessing, drug discovery, and proteomics, the study of protein structure and function. Scientists Use Gene Transfer Technology And Common Virus To Block Neur
Scientists at the U-M Medical School have developed a way to block the signals responsible for neuropathic pain. The secret to their success is a virus called herpes simplex or HSV -- the same virus that causes cold sores and genital herpes. The scientists use a disabled form of the virus, called a vector, to deliver genes to the nucleus of neural cells. Tycho's Remnant Provides Shocking Evidence For Cosmic Rays
Astronomers have found compelling evidence that a supernova shock wave has produced a large amount of cosmic rays, particles of mysterious origin that constantly bombard the Earth. This discovery, made with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, supports theoretical arguments that shock waves from stellar explosions may be a primary source of cosmic rays. No More Choking And Burning Eyes? New Approach To Eliminating Allergie
Allergies, like the common cold and asthma, have basically defied the best efforts of modern medicine to cure them. Now, a doctoral candidate at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem School of Pharmacy has come up with a new approach that offers hope for getting rid of them. President Discusses War on Terror at Naval Academy Commencement
This site presents the text of President George W. Bush's commencement address to the graduating class of 2005 at the Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland.

Exhibiting A Pepper For Every Pot
Peppers don't have to be just green and bell shaped and relegated to the supermarket shelf or home garden plot. This genus of plants has the genetic potential to provide a wide array of possibilities for the kitchen and the ornamental garden and sometimes both at once.
