Scientists Solve Checkers
Game over. Computer scientists have solved checkers, the popular board game with a history that dates back to 3,000 B.C. After 18-and-a-half years and sifting through 500 billion billion (a five followed by 20 zeroes) checkers positions,scientists have built a checkers-playing computer program that cannot be beaten. Teachers Play Critical Role In Adolescent Health Promotion Efforts
Teachers are among the most important influences in the lives of school-aged children, yet relatively little emphasis has been placed on examining the potential role general academic teachers may play in facilitating adolescent health promotion efforts. How Badger Culling Creates Conditions For Spread Of Bovine Tuberculosi
A stable social structure may help control the spread of bovine tuberculosis (TB) among badgers, ecologists have found. The findings -- published online in the British Ecological Society's Journal of Animal Ecology -- have important implications for the role of badger culling as part of the strategy to control bovine TB in the UK. [Ironic] LONDON: A jailed cocaine dealer is working as Santa Claus on
John Tams, who dons beard, boots and red suit to work in a cafe's Christmas grotto, said he wanted to give something back to the community... Cancer Patients Hide Their Use Of Complementary And Alternative Treatm
Although almost half (48 percent) of cancer patients treated with chemotherapy and radiation are using at least one type of complementary and alternative medical therapy (CAM) treatment, a majority of them (75 percent) don't tell their doctor, even while receiving conventional cancer treatment, according to a study presented October 16, 2005, at the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology's 47th Annual Meeting in Denver. Latest Fuel Cell Material Advance Overcomes Low Humidity Conductivity
James McGrath, University Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at Virginia Tech, will announce his research group's latest development, a PEM material that retains conductivity during low humidity, during his plenary lecture at the Challenges for the Hydrogen Economy symposium during the 232nd National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in San Francisco. Discovery At UCSB May Lead To New Drugs To Treat Cancer, Control Ferti
A recent discovery in cellular biology at UC Santa Barbara may allow scientists to enhance organ regeneration by stem cells, prevent the progression of cancer, and control fertility. It was described in a paper published in the May issue of the journal Developmental Cell, the most widely cited journal in developmental biology. NASA Telescope Reveals Nearby Galaxy's Invisible Arms
A new image from NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer shows that a galaxy once thought to be rather plain and old is actually endowed with a gorgeous set of young spiral arms. The unusual galaxy, called NGC 4625, is a remarkable find because it is relatively nearby. Until now, astronomers had thought that this kind of youthful glow in galaxies was a thing of the past. Flipped Genetic Sequences Illuminate Human Evolution And Disease
Chunks of inverted DNA are hundreds of times more common in primates than previously thought. These large structural changes in the human and chimpanzee genomes, called inversions, may account for much of the evolutionary difference between the two species. They may also shed light on genetic changes that lead to human disease. [Ironic] LONDON: A jailed cocaine dealer is working as Santa Claus on
