Surf's Up In The Solar Nebula: Jupiter's Formation Linked To That Of P
The process that formed the giant planet Jupiter may also have spawned some of the tiniest and oldest members of our solar system -- millimeter-sized spheres called chondrules, the major part of the most primitive meteorites. As witnesses to the early history of the solar system, chondrules may provide important clues to how the planets formed. Men Overcompensate When Masculinity Is Threatened
Threaten a man's masculinity, and his attitudes will become more macho, according to a study by Robb Willer, a Cornell Ph.D. candidate in sociology. Willer will present his research at the American Sociological Association meeting Aug. 15 in Philadelphia. Chronic Methamphetamine Abuse Linked To Cardiovascular Disease, Study
Scientists have found that chronic abuse of the highly addictive drug methamphetamine may be an unrecognized risk factor in the development of a number of potentially serious cardiovascular disorders frequently reported by methamphetamine abusers. Radiofrequency Ablation Highly Effective In Treating Kidney Tumors, St
Radiofrequency ablation, a relatively new, minimally invasive treatment, was 100 percent successful in eradicating small malignant kidney tumors in a study of more than 100 patients, report researchers. Of 95 tumors that were smaller than 3.7 cm, all were completely eradicated by a single treatment, along with 14 of the larger tumors. Total success rate for all tumors was 93 percent. Flu Information
This page provides links to information about influenza from a variety of federal government offices. Topics include general questions and answers, vaccine availability, prevention, treatment, and vaccine price gouging issues. From the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Improved Water Vapor Sensor Takes To The Skies
A new water vapor sensor developed partly at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research will improve a wide range of weather forecasts to make flying safer, allow airlines to expand routes, provide alternate landing options, and save fuel. The new data can also verify computer model projections of climate change. California Public Utilities Commission: Information on Area Codes and
Official notices about area codes in California and potential changes to the area codes due to shortages of available phone numbers. Includes press releases, public meeting announcements, proposals, decisions, and other documents about the affected areas. Also provides area code boundary maps for the state, reports and audits, a FAQ, a chart comparing area code splits and overlays, and more. Some materials available in Spanish. From the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Ringing the changes for e-paper
The development of new energy-efficient and high-resolution full-colour displays for portable computing and communications applications, even flexible electronic paper, will rely on finding novel organic molecules that produce colour when a voltage is applied The Science Behind Making Steak More Tender
Consistently tender steaks may be more readily available at restaurants and supermarkets in the future, thanks to technology developed by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists in Nebraska and used by beef processors. Bioclocks Work By Controlling Chromosome Coiling
A new study provides direct evidence that biological clocks can influence the activity of a large number of different genes in an ingenious fashion, simply by causing chromosomes to coil more tightly during the day and to relax at night.
