The death rate disparity is compounded by the fact that minority pedestrians are far more likely than white pedestrians to be struck by motor vehicles. “It’s a double whammy,” says Adil Haider, assistant professor of surgery [...] Publ.Date : Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:17:28 +0000 What’s the sound of yellow ochre? MCGILL (CAN)—Chemists have discovered that a technique known as photoacoustic infrared spectroscopy could help identify the composition of pigments used in artwork that is decades or even centuries old. Details of the work are reported in the journal Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy. The technique is based on Alexander Graham Bell’s 1880 discovery that [...] Publ.Date : Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:09:41 +0000 Structural defects precede heart failure U. IOWA (US)—The disruption of a structural component in heart muscle cells associated with heart failure appears to occur even before heart function starts to decline, according to a new study. Researchers believe that understanding how the disruption occurs may lead to new ways to diagnose or treat heart failure. The structure is a highly organized network [...] Publ.Date : Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:03:00 +0000 Stay hungry to stay awake WASHINGTON U.-ST. LOUIS (US)—Being hungry may provide a way to stay awake without feeling groggy or mentally challenged, according to new research with fruit flies. Scientists at Washington University in St. Louis found that starvation allows the need for nourishment to push aside the need for sleep. The study appears online this week in PLoS Biology. Like [...] Publ.Date : Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:21:02 +0000 Pepper pill gets to root of deer problem U. MINNESOTA (US)—Delivering hot pepper concentrate right to the roots keeps pesky deer and mice from devouring plants before they make it to the dinner table. And unlike spray deterrents, it can’t wash off. Tom Levar, a forestry and horticulture specialist at the University of Minnesota, adapted a plant formulation of Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to move [...] Publ.Date : Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:32:54 +0000 Ancient beer brewed to include antibiotic EMORY (US)—A chemical analysis of the bones of ancient Nubians shows that they were regularly consuming tetracycline, most likely in their beer. The finding is the strongest evidence yet that the art of making antibiotics, which officially dates to the discovery of penicillin in 1928, was common practice nearly 2,000 years ago. The research, led by Emory [...] Publ.Date : Thu, 02 Sep 2010 13:58:26 +0000 Gay parents don’t mar school success STANFORD (US)—Children being raised by same-sex couples have nearly the same educational achievement as children raised by married heterosexual couples, according to a new study that used data from the 2000 U.S. Census. “The census data show that having parents who are the same gender is not in itself any disadvantage to children,” says Michael Rosenfeld, [...] Publ.Date : Thu, 02 Sep 2010 13:38:06 +0000 It’s rocket science: Wastewater treatment STANFORD (US)—Engineers are developing a new sewage treatment process that would actually increase the production of two greenhouse gases—nitrous oxide (aka laughing gas) and methane—to be used to power the treatment plant. “Normally, we want to discourage these gases from forming,” says Craig Criddle, professor of civil and environmental engineering and senior fellow at Stanford University. “But [...] Publ.Date : Wed, 01 Sep 2010 19:18:00 +0000 Front row seat to ultrafast chemical reaction U. MICHIGAN (US)—To best observe chemical transformations in solution, molecular spectators have to be close to the action. Scientists have known for decades that molecules that comprise the “first solvation shell” sense and dictate the fate of nearly every chemical reaction, but it has been virtually impossible to watch them respond for several reasons. First, fundamental steps [...] Publ.Date : Wed, 01 Sep 2010 17:59:23 +0000 Mosquitoes sniff out prey with multi-sensors VANDERBILT (US)—To track human prey, malaria mosquitoes use several different kinds of odor sensors, according to a new study. The discovery may help in the development of new and more effective forms of mosquito lures and repellents. The findings provide striking new evidence that Anopheles gambiae—the species of mosquito that spreads malaria that infects some 250 million [...] Publ.Date : Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:48:41 +0000 |
