Second Hand Songs: A Cover Songs Database
"Find out who performed the original version of a particular song, or who covered that song."Features a database searchable by song, artist, or album, lists of newly added and recent songs, and related material about cover songs. The "Guidelines"section includes the website's definitions of original and cover songs, partial covers, samples, remixes, and other terminology. From a "group of fanatic cover song lovers." Evaluations Aim To Advance Translation Technology
Wartime military patrols and civilian encounters can be especially dangerous if neither group understands the other's language. To help American forces secure critical information and communicate with the local population, National Institute of Standards and Technology researchers are evaluating prototype, real-time, two-way translation systems for the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (DARPA). A Molecular Basis For Selective Therapeutic Intervention In Alzheimer'
The contribution of University of Aveiro researchers to the complex theme of how 'Cellular stress affects phosphorylation dependent AßPP processing' showed that, even under conditions of cellular stress, one could favour non-toxic AßPP processing by modulating intracellular protein phosphorylation systems and this, in turn, may constitute the basis for selective therapeutic intervention.
Inner Workings Of Molecular Thermostat Point To Pathways To Fight Diab
Researchers have discovered a molecular circuit involving the oxygen-carrying component of hemoglobin -- heme -- that helps maintain proper metabolism in the body, providing new insights into metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes. This happens through a molecular pathway that allows the cell to monitor and adjust internal heme levels via Rev-erb±, creating more when heme levels fall, and slowing it down when levels rise. Watching Microglia At Work
Max Planck researchers shed light on the immune defense behaviour of microglial cells in the brain. NASA: 'Significant Find' on Mars
On a day of stunning news including moonbase plans and new orbital photos, the space agency's keeping something big in reserve. In Gear Factor. Brightest-ever 'blazar' flare from distant galaxy spotted by NASA's Fe
A galaxy located billions of light-years away is commanding the attention of NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and astronomers around the globe. Thanks to a series of flares that began September 15, the galaxy is now the brightest source in the gamma-ray sky -- more than ten times brighter than it was in the summer. Voter I.D. Requirements Reduce Political Participation, Study Finds
A new report released by Brown University shows that requiring voters to present identification at the polls leads to lower levels of political participation. The research also suggests that voter I.D. policies discourage legal immigrants from becoming citizens. The authors conclude that voter I.D. requirements have a significant political impact -- particularly on the Hispanic vote. Global warming ad
A TV public relations campaign is set to air at the beginning of February. The ad campaign sponsored by Avaaz.org is set to demand that G8 leaders put climate change, or global warming as we used to call it in pre-euphemistic times, at the top of the next Summit agenda in June.Avaaz says this is [...] Genomic 'Firestorms' Underlie Aggressive Breast Cancer Progression
The first high-resolution analysis of genomic alterations in breast tumors is reported in the scientific journal Genome Research. In this analysis, scientists from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, in collaboration with researchers from Scandinavia, identified three distinct patterns of genomic variation that underlie breast tumor formation, one of which -- "firestorms"-- may be predictive of aggressive disease progression and short survival.
