Seismic Alert: Off West Coast of Northern Sumatra, 26 Dec 2004
News and data about the Southeast Asia earthquake and tsunami of December 2004. Highlights include seismograms of the earthquake as recorded in the United Kingdom and historical seismicity data of Northern Sumatra. From the British Geological Survey (BGS). Discovery Of Pathway In Learning Impairment Caused By Liver Disease Ma
Liver disease sometimes causes hepatic encephalopathy, which involves brain damage, personality changes, and intellectual impairment due to hyperammonemia (high levels of ammonia in the blood). However, the mechanisms involved in both learning and how liver disease leads to learning impairment are unclear. Modern Literature of Southeast Asia: Research Portal
"This is an educational website established to facilitate research on modern Southeast Asian literatures from a cultural studies perspective."The site features a compilation of links to sites with general information and information about specific countries (such as Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam) on topics such as history, literature, and film. Also includes a bibliography. From a professor of comparative world literature. Worker Ants Store Fat To Share With Colony Members During Times Of Nee
In a fascinating new study, researchers explore the ability of ants to store excess fat and pass it to colony members through lipid-rich oral secretions or unfertilized eggs. For perennial organisms, such as ant colonies, investing heavily in nutrient stores when food availability is high is a potential bet-hedging strategy for dealing with times of famine. Statin Plus Cancer Drug Deliver Combo Punch To Brain Cancer Cells
Building on newly discovered genetic threads in the rich tapestry of biochemical signals that cause cancer, a Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center team has dramatically killed brain cancer cells by blocking those signals with a statin and an experimental antitumor drug. myPHR: Personal Health Record
This website provides consumer information about health records, covering the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), health care record privacy rights, obtaining health records, and instructions for creating a personal health record. From the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), a professional organization of health information management professionals. Software Crafts Alternate Routes For Troubled Commuters, Predicts Best
Websites for commuters are nothing new, but researchers in Sunnyvale, Calif., have developed an advanced system with a twist: in addition to tracking traffic congestion, the program crunches data from 14,000 sensors, in some cases every 30 seconds, to decipher evolving rush-hour patterns. Introns -- nonsense DNA -- may be more important to evolution of genom
The sequences of nonsense DNA that interrupt genes could be far more important to the evolution of genomes than previously thought, according to researchers. Their study of the model organism Daphnia pulex (water flea) is the first to demonstrate the colonization of a single lineage by "introns," as the interrupting sequences are known. Doping Technique Brings Nanomechanical Devices Into The Semiconductor
With the help of a device capable of depositing metals an atom at a time in the materials used in computer chips, engineers have successfully blended modern semiconductor technology and nanomachines. Gene's Role In Type 1 Diabetes Discovered
Researchers have identified an enzyme thought to be an important instigator of the inner-body conflict that causes type 1 diabetes. A chronic condition that affects nearly three million American children and adults, type 1 diabetes is more severe than type 2.
