Cancer Drug Behind Cyclops Birth?
A hospital report says the mother of a one-eyed baby may have been given the experimental anti-carcinogen Cyclopamine. Scott Carney reports from Chennai, India. [Odd] A Romanian couple has named their son Yahoo as a sign of gratitu
Daily Libertatea said on Thursday Cornelia and Nonu Dragoman, both from Transylvania, met and decided they were meant for each other following a three-month relationship over the net.They married and had a baby this Christmas, whom they decided to name after one of the worldwide web's most popular portals."We named him Lucian Yahoo after my father and the net, the main beacon of my life,"Cornelia Dragoman was quoted as saying. IUDs Safe And Effective In High-risk Patients
Researchers have found that intrauterine devices are safe and effective in a population of women previously not considered as good candidates for this method of birth control. Lebanese Security and the Hezbollah
The working draft of this July 2006 report discusses Hezbollah, the Lebanese organization that "has opened a dangerous second front in the Israeli-Palestinian war of attrition that began in September 2000. The ... analysis not only describes the nature of Hezbollah and its military capabilities, but the severe limits to the Lebanese Army and other divisions and problems within Lebanon."From the Center for Strategic &International Studies (CSIS). Researchers Find Potential Celebrex Target In Lung Cancer
A product produced by lung cancer tumors fuels the cells that suppress immune function in patients and may be a target for Celebrex therapy, giving oncologists another weapon to fight cancer, according to a study by researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center. Making Sense Of Sensors: The Mathematics Of Detecting Intruders
As sensor technology has exploded, such fundamental questions have come to the forefront in many areas. In particular, national security measures increasingly depend on sensor technology to detect, for example, radiological or biological hazards, hidden mines and munitions, or specific individuals in a crowd. Mathematics, especially the area of topology, provides a way of addressing such questions. Coldest Lab In Chicago To Simulate Hot Physics Of Early Universe, Expl
Cheng Chin will make a vacuum chamber in his laboratory the coldest place in Chicago in order to simulate the impossibly hot conditions that followed the big bang during the earliest moments of the universe. "It turns out that matter at ultralow and ultrahigh temperatures might have something in common,"said Chin, an Assistant Professor in Physics at the University of Chicago. Chin's strategy for probing the formative moments of the early universe may also help boost the capability of quantum computers. TeachKind
This site, advocating "humane education"for students, "provides you with the resources that you need to teach compassion [toward animals], empathy, responsibility, and student empowerment in the classroom."Includes violence-reduction materials, teacher resources, and more. Some of the "humane education"resources step beyond animal violence concerns to advocate vegetarian/vegan diets. A People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Web site. Breakthrough In Nanodevice Synthesis Revolutionizes Biological Sensors
A novel approach to synthesizing nanowires (NWs) allows their direct integration with microelectronic systems for the first time, as well as their ability to act as highly sensitive biomolecule detectors that could revolutionize biological diagnostic applications, according to a report in Nature. Not only can the NWs detect as few as 1000 individual molecules in a cubic millimeter, they can do it without any added fluorescent or radioactive probes. Sensor Web Simulation Investigates Technique To Improve Prediction Of
For asthmatics and for anyone with respiratory problems, air pollution can significantly impair simple everyday activities. NASA is trying to tie together satellites and stations on the ground to develop a "sensor web"to track this pollution and improve air quality forecasts.
