First-ever Atomic-detail Computer Simulation Of How Proteins May Vibra
The first-ever atomic-detail computer simulation of how proteins vibrate in a crystal has been performed. Understanding how proteins -- life's worker molecules -- interact with each other is a major goal of biological sciences. The simulation, which was made possible by recent advances in scientific computing, describes the forces and vibrations involved in protein crystals, which provide an environment in which the proteins are ordered and thus lend themselves to detailed study. Cloning The Smell Of The Seaside
Scientists from the University of East Anglia have discovered exactly what makes the seaside smell like the seaside -- and bottled it! The age-old mystery was unlocked thanks to some novel bacteria plucked from the North Norfolk coast. Dyno Nobel's Super EZ Connector Is the Blast Master of Timed Explosion
Explosives experts know mistakes can cause huge excavation problems and lead to costly delays. This device ensures that each charge in a series detonates at precisely the right instant, using a master trigger (no Hollywood-type plungers for this baby), a secret blend of chemicals and color-coded connectors. Toward A Better Drug For Treating Muscle, Bone Loss In Elderly Men
The search for alternatives to steroid medications for treating millions of Baby Boomer males with age-related declines in the sex hormone testosterone has led researchers to report development of a nonsteroidal compound that shows promise as a new treatment for loss of muscle mass, bone tissue, and other problems linked to low testosterone. Mitochondria Defects Linked To Social Behavior And Spatial Memory
Respiration deficiencies in mitochondria, the cell's powerhouses, are associated with changed social behavior and spatial memory in laboratory mice. This research may open the door to understanding the connection in humans between mitochondrial breakdowns and mental illness. Upgrading Jamaica's Cultural Shareware: Trojan Records at 40
Compilations show off the label's influence on reggae's rich history of recycling American pop songs, which helped mold today's mashup ethos. Resources on the Internet for Business Journalists
A compilation of links, arranged by topic, to sites that may be useful to business researchers. Topics include business news publications, Securities and Exchange Commission filings, the economy, law and regulation, public records, healthcare, insurance, and public opinion. Most sites are available for free. From a journalism professor. [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... Annual Prostate Cancer Screening Test Appears To Save Lives
Men who have a yearly blood test to examine their prostate specific antigen levels are nearly three times less likely to die from prostate cancer than those who don't have annual screenings, according to a study presented October 19, 2005, at the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology's 47th Annual Meeting in Denver. Important Rice Production System Under Pressure
In the face of growing pressure on one of Asia's most important food production systems, experts are warning that farmers must get more help to make them more efficient. Irrigated rice production provides about 75 percent of the world's rice needs, and has a particularly important role to play at the moment as international rice prices are at a 10-year high, while global stocks are at a 30-year low.
