Smoking may interfere with alcoholics'neurocognitive recovery during abstinence. Alcoholics frequently smoke. Anywhere from 50 to 90 percent of individuals in North America who seek alcoholism treatment are also chronic smokers. New findings indicate that smoking may interfere with alcoholics'neurocognitive recovery during their first six to nine months of abstinence from alcohol. QuikScat Shows Rough Seas, Atmospheric Conditions At Time Of Two Java
A ferry carrying more than 600 passengers sank in the Java Sea between the island of Java and Borneo just before midnight on December 29, 2006, during high winds and rough seas. On January 1, 2007, a plane carrying more than 100 people crashed on its flight over the Java Sea; high winds and turbulent weather are being investigated as possible causes. The origin of surges of deadly winds in this usually relatively calm region is poorly monitored and understood. However, ocean winds data from NASA's QuikScat satellite show potential for helping alleviate such deficiencies. Scientists Catch Glimpse Of Platinum-based Complexes 'Walking' A Path
Do metal complexes casually stroll around certain molecules prior to chemical reactions? Scientists in the Organic Chemistry Department of the Weizmann Institute of Science have caught a glimpse of platinum-based complexes "walking"a path to their destinations. New Findings Could Lead To Vaccine For Severe Malaria
The most severe form of malaria hits pregnant women and children the hardest. A joint study between Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and Makerere University in Uganda has now produced some important findings on how the malaria parasite conceals itself in the placenta. Groundwater Sampling Goes Tubular: National Laboratory Practices 'Leav
Hydrologists from the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are using a simple apparatus of quarter-inch-diameter plastic tubing to collect samples at varying levels in the aquifer along the river's edge. Though a permanent installation, the low-cost, lightweight materials are easy to camouflage with indigenous rocks and vegetation so that the collection site appears undisturbed. Hydrologists compare the aquifer tube method to sipping groundwater through a long straw. Kids Need More Time Than Adults Give Them, Study Finds

Drug Triggers Body's Mechanism To Reverse Aging Effect On Memory Proce
A drug made to enhance memory appears to trigger a natural mechanism in the brain that fully reverses age-related memory loss, even after the drug itself has left the body, according to researchers at UC Irvine. Cell Phone Memory Doubled Through Software Alone
Computer engineers have developed technology that doubles the usable memory on cell phones and other embedded systems without any changes to hardware or applications. The improvement was made in the operating system software alone.
