Researchers Recommend Multidisciplinary Approach Of Low Back Pain
Researchers calculated the costs of management of low back pain and found that an integrated and step-wise approach within a multidisciplinary setting forms a better use of the available resources. The study is published in the September issue of Pain Practice. Joining Hands To Solve A DNA Replication Problem
A Howard Hughes Medical Institute professor and a colleague who mentors HHMI-supported undergraduates in his structural biology lab are using the tools of molecular biology, biochemistry and biophysics to solve a scientific puzzle. Glimpsing a greener future: Computer model foresees effects of alterna
It's the year 2060, and 75 percent of drivers in the Greater Los Angeles area have hydrogen fuel cell vehicles that emit only water vapor. Look into Shane Stephens-Romero's crystal ball -- a computer model called STREET -- and find that air quality has significantly improved. Greenhouse gas emissions are more than 60 percent lower than in 2009, and levels of microscopic soot and ozone are about 15 percent and 10 percent lower, respectively. Researchers Find New Mechanism Governing Particle Growth In Nanocompos
A research team from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Drexel University has discovered a surprising new mechanism by which polymer materials used in nanocomposites control the growth of particles. Reported on August 28th at the 230th national meeting of the American Chemical Society, the findings could provide a new tool for controlling the formation of nanoparticles. For this microbe, cousins not particularly welcome
A bacterial species that depends on cooperation to survive is discriminating when it comes to the company it keeps. Scientists have learned Myxococcus xanthus cells are able to recognize genetic differences in one another that are so subtle, even the scientists studying them must go to great lengths to tell them apart. Coelacanth Fossil Sheds Light On Fin-to-limb Evolution
A 400 million-year-old fossil of a coelacanth fin, the first finding of its kind, fills a shrinking evolutionary gap between fins and limbs. The fossil shows that the ancestral pattern of lobed fins closely resembles the pattern in the fins of primitive living ray-finned fishes, according to the scientists. "This ends intense debate about the primitive pattern for lobed fins, which involves the ancestry of all limbs, including our own,"said one of the scientists. Hajj Pilgrims Should Get Flu Jab To Avoid Pandemic, Doctors Urge
Flu vaccination should be mandatory for all Hajj pilgrims to minimise the risk of a global pandemic, say doctors in this week's British Medical Journal. At the end of next month Saudi Arabia will again host the Hajj -- the largest annual gathering in the world -- which attracts more than two million pilgrims from almost every country on earth. Blogging for a Good Book

Real-Time Feedback System For Alpine Skiers Help Improve Performance
Researchers have developed an effective real-time performance management and feedback system for alpine ski racers that allow skiers to better understand their carved turning skills and improve their performance. A new study describes the development of the vLink Racing Computer System and investigates the effectiveness of this system. Cool-er E-Book Reader Leaves Us Feeling So Very Cold
A lot of pricey eBook readers are available out there, along with a couple of cheap ones. The Cool-er is one of the less expensive, but you get what you pay for in this one -- the content's anemic and it's missing some key features.
