Geologists Use Biotools To Understand Geosystems; Goal Is To Control T
Virginia Tech researchers are looking at the mobility of bacteria and of heavy metals in surface and ground water and at the sticking efficiencies of bacteria on minerals. Geosciences professor Michael Hochella Jr. will present recent findings at the Geological Sciences of America national meeting in Salt Lake City Oct. 16-19. New Method Predicts Dropping Out Of University
Researchers in Spain are creating a statistical model to calculate the probability of university students dropping out and to help in the drawing up of strategic plans to reduce the number of students who give up their studies. [Scary] Pregnant woman says 'maternal instinct' helped her kill attack
FORT MITCHELL, Ky. - A pregnant woman who killed her attacker said a maternal instinct helped her fight off the woman who investigators believe was after her unborn child."I do believe that I fought harder because it was for my child,"Sarah Brady told ABC's "Good Morning America"in interviews aired Sunday and Monday. "It is a maternal instinct to protect your child to the very end."Katherine Smith, 22, died Thursday after luring Brady to her apartment to pick up a package supposedly delivered to the wrong address. When Smith pulled out a knife and attacked the pregnant woman, Brady fought back, striking Smith on the head with an ash tray and stabbing her three times with her own knife, police said. Brady, 26, said she didn't know Smith before the two met at Smith's apartment and can't be certain why Smith wanted to kill her."I really am not sure what was going through her mind,"Brady told ABC. "The only thing I thought was that she was going to kill me and my child and that is the only thing that ran through my mind." Cancer Gene Drives Pivotal Decision In Early Brain Development
A gene linked to pediatric brain tumors is an essential driver of early brain development, researchers have found. The study reveals that the neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) gene helps push stem cells down separate paths that lead them to become two major types of brain cells: support cells known as astrocytes and brain neurons. Accessory Protein Determines Whether Pheromones Are Detected
Pheromones are big, fatty molecules that living organisms emit in order to send messages to individuals of the same species. New research has identified an unanticipated protein that snatches these pheromones and hands them off to their specific pheromone receptor. The Shape Of Life: Research Sheds Light On How Cells Take Shape
Brown University physicists have identified a surprising force in pattern formation -- physical force. Results of their work shed important light on how life takes shape inside cells and are published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Australian War Memorial
This government site "commemorates the sacrifice of Australians who have suffered and died in war."Features material about "Australia's involvement in war from the time of the first settlement at Sydney Cove in the 18th Century to our peacekeeping roles under United Nations auspices and the Gulf War,"a list of significant events in Australia's military history, a who's who, statistics, background about military units, a glossary, and much more. "Black Box"Warning For Antidepressants
Several previous programs have addressed the increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior in children and adolescents being treated with antidepressant medications. FDA recently took several steps to strengthen safeguards for young patients being treated with these drugs. 'Epigenetics' Means What We Eat, How We Live And Love, Alters How Our
A mother rat withholds nurturing licks from its pup and elicits a brain change that impairs the pup's response to stress as an adult, researchers in Canada found. A pregnant woman's dietary deficits increase her offspring's risk of diabetes, stroke and heart disease later in life, researchers in England have shown. Cancerous Or Harmless? Three Genes Might Tell The Tale
New research suggests that physicians can distinguish between a type of thyroid cancer and an identical-looking, non-cancerous thyroid condition by simply determining the activity of three genes. The findings could lead to a test that will prevent the needless loss of the thyroid gland in people with the noncancerous condition.
