Ecosystem Of Vanishing Lake Yields Valuable Bacterium
A team of researchers that includes an MSU professor is characterizing a bacterium found near Soap Lake, Wash., that could potentially clean polluting nitrates from fertilizer and explosive manufacturing plants. Difference Between Fish And Humans: Century-old Developmental Question
Embryologists have helped solve an evolutionary riddle that has been puzzling scientists for over a century. They have identified a key mechanism in the initial stages of an embryo's development that helps differentiate more highly evolved species, including humans, from less evolved species, such as fish. [Ironic] Professional beggars prowling about the streets of Moroccan c
The government plans to crack down on the scam used by faux beggars in growing numbers for a kind of "emotional blackmail", a cabinet minister was quoted as saying... Building Better Therapeutic Vaccines For Chronic Infections
Familiar preventive vaccines protect an individual from infections. Therapeutic vaccines, however, are designed for patients who have acquired chronic infections, such as HIV or hepatitis, or even cancers. Thus far, such vaccines have fallen short of expectations. A new study offers details about what may prevent the immune system from responding effectively to a therapeutic vaccine during a state of chronic infection and suggests how scientists might be able to improve the immune response. Research To Assist In Investigation Of Criminal And Terrorist Activity
Police and security services will benefit from new research aimed at improving the investigation of criminal and terrorist activity. Scientists are combining technologies for location-based games and analyzing communication signals with forensic psychology techniques for detecting deception during interviews with suspects. Tonsillectomy Significantly Improves Quality Of Life In Adult And Pedi
Tonsillectomies to treat chronic and recurrent tonsillitis substantially improve a patient's quality of live in both children and adults, according to two new studies. Tonsillectomy remains one of the most common procedures performed on children each year, and while the number of incidences in adults is lower, it is still a routine operation. Scientists Aboard Drilling Vessel Recover Rocks From Earth's Crust Far
Scientists affiliated with the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) and seeking the elusive "Moho"-- the boundary, which geologists refer to as the Mohorovicic discontinuity, between Earth's brittle outer crust and its hotter, softer mantle -- have created the third deepest hole ever drilled into the ocean bottom's crust. The Best: Science Fictions
What happens when you fall into quicksand? How was electricity discovered? Why does water spin one way and not the other? The answers might surprise you. By Aria Pearson from Wired magazine. New Nicotine-like Imaging Agent Holds Promise In PET Studies, May Help
The chemical nicotine--a main ingredient in tobacco--may hold promise in the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, give insight into therapeutic interventions for nicotine addiction and possibly complement the diagnosis of certain forms of lung cancer, according to a study in the January issue of the Society of Nuclear Medicine's Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Calculating Consonants: Researchers Identify A Key To How The Brain Pr
Speech is not just a series of sounds; speech also elicits a series of representations, such as syllables, vowels, or consonants, which our brains identify as such from the very early onset of language acquisition. Listening involves a kind of statistical computation based on the fact that it is more probable that certain sounds follow particular syllables.
