Astronomers Simulate Life And Death In The Universe
The question of how star clusters are created from interstellar gas clouds and why they then develop in different ways has now been answered with the aid of computer simulations. The scientists have solved -- at least at a theoretical level -- one of the oldest astronomical puzzles, namely the question of whether star clusters differ in their internal structure. Can Gene Expression Profiling Make It Possible To Predict Deadly Infec
A new study suggests that gene expression profiling may allow researchers to track the progression of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle and ultimately predict their infectious status. Researcher Studies Proteins That Make Rice Flourish
Scientists are evaluating certain type of proteins and the molecular mechanisms that trigger rice's response to stressful conditions, such as drought, high salinity or a biological disease called rice blast. Understanding how plants respond to these stressors will help scientists and farmers develop better ways to grow rice in less than optimal conditions. Radar Map Of Buried Mars Layers Matches Climate Cycles
New, three-dimensional imaging of Martian north-polar ice layers by a radar instrument on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is consistent with theoretical models of Martian climate swings during the past few million years. National Breast Cancer Awareness Month: About Breast Cancer
Fact sheets about breast cancer in general (including risk factors), early detection of the disease using mammograms, and breast cancer treatments such as surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy. From the campaign website for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, recognized annually in October. Unrestrained Retina Too Much Of A Good Thing
When primitive nerve cells begin forming an eye in the mouse embryo, they are programmed to build a retina. But the ability to see depends upon connecting the retina to the brain via the optic nerve. Unless these embryonic cells are given the right cue at the right time, they mistakenly form a huge eye that consists entirely of retina and lacks the optic nerve. [Funny] A referee has sent himself off in an English amateur league ma
Andy Wain had to abandon the Sunday league match between Peterborough North End and a Royal Mail side in the 63rd minute after throwing down his whistle and marching up to confront North End's keeper. Universal Helmet Laws For Motorcycling Most Important Policy For Savin
Researchers conducted one of the first longitudinal analyses of the effect of public policies to reduce motorcycle injuries and fatalities. According to the study, the most significant policy in reducing both fatal and non-fatal motorcycle injuries is the universal helmet laws. The findings indicate that about 489 lives could have been saved if universal helmet laws were in effect in all 48 states in 2005. MIT, Columbia Begin New Energy Experiment: Half-ton Levitating Ring Is
MIT and Columbia University students and researchers have begun operation of a novel experiment that confines high-temperature ionized gas, called plasma, using the strong magnetic fields from a half-ton superconducting ring inside a huge vessel reminiscent of a spaceship. Petrified Velvet Worms From 425 Million Years Ago Reveal True Ecology
Geologists have found a new, exceptionally preserved deposit of fossils in 425 million year old Silurian rocks in Ontario. The fossils include complete fish (only the second place on Earth where whole fish of this age have been found), various shrimp and worm like creatures, including velvet-worms, which look "rather like a dozen headless Michelin men dancing a conga."
