New Genetic Findings Add To Understanding Of Obsessive-compulsive Diso
Obsessive-compulsive disorder tends to run in families, but scientists are still working to understand how and why. Now, new research is shedding light on one of the genetic factors that may contribute to that pattern. And while no one gene "causes"OCD, the research is helping scientists confirm the importance of a particular gene that has been suspected to play a major role in OCD's development. Plastic oranges
Cornell catalyst coaxes citrus compound, combining CO2 Generate molecular formula
A rather common search on the sciencebase site seems to ask how to generate a molecular formula. Well, the method I use is to go straight to ChemSketch and fire up ACD/Dictionary, type in the name of the compound I want to produce and paste it into the ChemSketch window. ... Family History Alone Can Imply Cancer Mutation Risk
One in five women diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer who seek mammography have a family history of cancer that suggests they may harbor known cancer-causing gene mutations. Researchers say the prevalence of such a family history is considerably higher than the rate among women with no personal history of cancer, and has significant implications for risk assessment, testing, and clinical management.

Sometimes killing even a few individuals can have dramatic consequences, causing populations to fluctuate wildly. The regulation of populations is usually determined by the properties of one specific size class of individuals. When such a crucial size class is the target of mortality, unexpected things may happen. In harvested cannibalistic fish populations, individuals may reach "giant"sizes, more than double the size of those in unharvested population in heavily fished lakes.
