Beneficial Effects Of No-till Farming Depend Upon Future Climate Chang
By storing carbon in their fields through no-till farming practice, farmers can help countries meet targeted reductions in atmospheric carbon dioxide and reduce the harmful effects of global warming. However, researchers say, the amount of carbon stored in soils depends on how the climate changes and how much carbon dioxide is in the atmosphere. Brain Regulates Initial Stages Of Sex Change In Social Fish
New findings about how the brain enzyme aromatase influences sex change in social goby fish could help explain the complex interaction among the brain,physiology, and behavior that forms the biological basis of human sexual identity.

Although all cancers are not alike, most share common causes, whether it is the result of a genetic mutation or faulty biochemical signaling pathway. For that reason, drugs developed specifically for one disease might have an impact on many others. Increasingly, researchers are discovering ways of combining new and existing drugs to fight cancer -- broadening the targets of already-approved targeted therapeutics. Prostateproblem probed
Pinpointing prostate problems – The chemical cousin of magnetic resonance imaging, MR spectroscopy, could be used to pinpoint the exact location of prostate cancers and to determine the aggressiveness of a tumour without major surgical intervention, according to research published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.“Magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy which can analyse the biochemistry rather [...]Prostate problem probed is a post from: Sciencebase Science Blog Uranium Isotope Ratios Are Not Invariant, Researchers Show
For years, the ratio of uranium's two long-lived isotopes, U-235 and U-238, has been considered invariant, despite measurements made in the mid-1970s that hinted otherwise. Now, with improved precision from state-of-the-art instrumentation, researchers unequivocally show this ratio actually does vary significantly in Earth materials. Fire-extinguishing grenades and laser remotes
 A fire-extinguishing “grenade”, a “laser finger” remote control for quadriplegic individuals, and a pocket-sized water purifier. A stack of cutting-edge innovations that have not come from a hi-tech thinktank but from teams of high school students in the US.
Twenty InvenTeamsrecently showcased these and other inventions at the 2007 Odyssey event at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The teams are set to receive grants of up to $10,000 in October to help them develop an invention prototype. Among the other amazing creations are: - Solar-powered biodiesel processor
- Driver Awake dozing driver waking system
- Underground locator and communicator
Organising spokesperson Sarah Piperato told me that, “These high schoolers’ inventions show great innovation. This is what ambitious American teens are accomplishing with science and technology.” Now, these truly are winning scienceprojectswinning science projects that put things like squeezing a boiled egg into a bottleto shame. That said, not everyone can be a Faraday, Edison, or a Lovelace.  I know what I did last summer
This is what we were posting about a year ago this month, some of these are just plain silly, others are quite informative, but most just seem to lead to one thing on the mind: Seat of Female Libido Revealed- Researchers found the organ in the brain responsible for female sexual response, I have to admit I hadn’t realized it had gone missing.

(No Photoshop involved, by the way) Beer vs wine- Beer is better, more B (vitamins) I’m not sure if there is any kind of running theme here, (sex, booze…?), maybe it was just the time of year, the silly season was upon us, or you could probably even blame global warming.
