This process can affect the stability of liquid water, if it exists on the Martian surface, and increase the frequency and severity of Martian dust storms. Researchers using the orbiter's ground-penetrating radar identified a large, buried deposit of frozen carbon dioxide, or dry ice, at the Red Planet's south pole. The scientists suspect that much of this carbon dioxide enters the planet's atmosphere and swells the atmosphere's mass when Mars' tilt increases.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/Egff4Jp2Gqs?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="7" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/5b5I5LakIY4/110421171718.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">New hope for treatment of painful adult shingles</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 21 Apr 2011 02:17 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Researchers have discovered a compound with the potential to be more effective than existing agents in treating the very painful blisters known as shingles -- a condition that affects up to 30 percent of Americans, mostly elderly, and for which no specific treatment exists.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/5b5I5LakIY4?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="8" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/071tRLYFOiw/110421171715.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Genes causing antimalarial drug resistance identified</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 21 Apr 2011 02:17 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Using a pair of powerful genome-search techniques, researchers have identified several genes that may be implicated in the malaria parasite's notorious ability to rapidly evade drug treatments.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/071tRLYFOiw?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="9" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/N-eP9FwTKJU/110421171713.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Biologist illuminates how seedlings regulate growth</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 21 Apr 2011 02:17 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">All kinds of organisms, from plants to people, regulate growth via networks of proteins that add on and lop off phosphate molecules.

However, scientists have now decoded, for the first time, the entire genome of the lyre-leaved rock cress (Arabidopsis lyrata), a close relative of the thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana), the model plant used by geneticists. They discovered that the genome of the lyre-leaved rock cress is fifty percent bigger than that of the thale cress. Moreover, these changes arose over a very short period in evolutionary terms.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/Ua191vyxLbk?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="55" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/N3JFNmM_Vz8/110421082641.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Happiest places have highest suicide rates, new research finds</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 21 Apr 2011 05:26 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">The happiest countries and happiest U.S. states tend to have the highest suicide rates, according to new research.

Researchers have been inspired by the physics of critical phenomena in their attempts to significantly improve password protection. The researchers split a password into two sections. With the first, easy-to-memorize section they encrypt a CAPTCHA -- an image that computer programs have difficulty in deciphering. The researchers also make it more difficult for computers, whose task it is to automatically crack passwords, to read the passwords without authorization.

The 2001 bioterrorism attacks in the US killed four people, out of 22 infected (10 of them with respiratory anthrax), despite massive antibiotic administration, probably because therapy did not begin until the disease had reached the fulminant stage. But a multi-agent prophylaxis initiated within 24 hours post-infection prevented development of fatal anthrax respiratory disease, and treatment combining antibiotics with immunization with a protective antigen-based vaccine conferred long-term protective immunity against reestablishment of the disease, according to a new study.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/ktQQJJRLjYA?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="2" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/lRsgGFpF-50/110419214849.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">C. difficile colonization accompanied by changes in gut microbiota: Study hints at probiotics as treatment</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 19 Apr 2011 06:48 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Asymptomatic colonization by Clostridium difficile, absent the use of antibiotics, is common in infants and when it happens changes occur in the composition of the gut microbiota, according to new research.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/lRsgGFpF-50?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="3" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/7vlsdYsAPzA/110419214803.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Anti-HIV vaginal gel promising for protection in Africa, SE Asia</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 19 Apr 2011 06:48 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">A new vaginal microbicide gel and drug formulation looks promising for empowering women in developing countries to protect themselves from HIV during intercourse, without having to inform their partners, according to new research.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/7vlsdYsAPzA?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="4" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/Gwz2CucYTg0/110419214734.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Antibiotics disrupt gut ecology, metabolism</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 19 Apr 2011 06:47 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Humans carry several pounds of microbes in our gastro-intestinal tracts.

Nerve cells in the hypothalamus detect nutrients and hormones circulating in the blood and then coordinate a complex series of behavioral and physiological responses to maintain a balance between calories eaten and calories burned. Obesity and diabetes can result when this regulatory mechanism goes awry. Now, research has revealed a molecule in the brain that may contribute to those health problems, both of which are reaching epidemic proportions.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/jgZH6oDaanU?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="11" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/GnLYvNFOXZw/110419205716.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">C. difficile increases risk of death six-fold in patients with inflammatory bowel disease</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 19 Apr 2011 05:57 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Patients admitted to hospital with inflammatory bowel disease face a sixfold greater risk of death if they become infected with Clostridium difficile, a new study has found.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/GnLYvNFOXZw?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="12" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/OEYWi9NIH_Q/110419205538.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Decoding human genes is goal of new open-source encyclopedia</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 19 Apr 2011 05:55 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">A massive database cataloging the functional components of the human genome is being made available as an open resource to scientists, classrooms, science writers, and the public, thanks to an international team of scientists.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/OEYWi9NIH_Q?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="13" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/ZSQ-EjMm46k/110419205536.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Improved recovery of motor function after stroke</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 19 Apr 2011 05:55 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">After the acute treatment window closes, the only effective treatment for stroke is physical/occupational therapy.

Oddly, although the light from the explosion should have reached the Earth in the seventeenth century and been easily visible in the sky, it appears to have gone unnoticed.

Expansion of the crop in areas previously occupied by other crops cools the local climate by reflecting sunlight back into space and by lowering the air temperature as the plants "exhale" cooler water.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/pmCYlcoxNJg?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="9" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/MR6_e2ujqzs/110417185342.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Arctic coasts on the retreat</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 17 Apr 2011 03:53 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">The coastline in Arctic regions reacts to climate change with increased erosion and retreats by half a meter per year on average.

An analysis of languages from around the world suggests that, like our genes, human speech originated -- just once -- in sub-Saharan Africa. The research studied the phonemes, or the perceptually distinct units of sound that differentiate words, used in 504 human languages today and found that the number of phonemes is highest in Africa and decreases with increasing distance from Africa.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/QCNnLl4yPKY?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="2" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/8eKOewHoWN0/110415163527.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Online calculator allows households to track carbon footprint</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 15 Apr 2011 01:35 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">A new analysis of the carbon footprints of households around the U.S. shows that consumers need different strategies in different cities to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

The expedition's goal is to drill down for the first time next to a superfast-spreading mid-ocean ridge, to reach the gabbro that lies around 2 km beneath the ocean floor. Obtaining samples of these magmatic rocks, which result from slower cooling than the basalts found on the ocean floor, will enable scientists to better understand the structure of the crust and test models for its formation in the specific context of fast-spreading ridges.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/uxn5Qo3q8fc?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="4" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/0nl7r4c-9xY/110413184958.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Stillbirths: The invisible public health problem</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 13 Apr 2011 03:49 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Some 2.6 million third trimester stillbirths worldwide occur every year, according to the first comprehensive set of stillbirth estimates.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/0nl7r4c-9xY?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="5" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/mxOm0Z3XU6U/110413171333.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Anti-aging hormone Klotho inhibits renal fibrosis, cancer growth</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 13 Apr 2011 02:13 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">A natural hormone known to inhibit aging can also protect kidneys against renal fibrosis researchers have demonstrated.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/mxOm0Z3XU6U?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="6" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/K6KVkRAmBMY/110413171331.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Invasive mussels causing massive ecological changes in Great Lake</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 13 Apr 2011 02:13 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">The ongoing spread of non-native mussels in the Great Lakes has caused "massive, ecosystem-wide changes" throughout lakes Michigan and Huron, two of the planet's largest freshwater lakes, according to a new study.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/K6KVkRAmBMY?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="7" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/Sr7AhGcFPv4/110413171329.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Lung perfusion system allows high-risk lungs to be safely transplanted, study suggests</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 13 Apr 2011 02:13 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">For the first time, scientists have shown in a clinical trial that the Toronto XVIVO System can safely and effectively treat, re-assess and improve the function of high-risk donor lungs so that they can be successfully transplanted into patients.

As long as you were within 20 miles or so of the transmitter, you could pick up the station. With the advent of cell phones, however, and even more so with Wi-Fi, the paradigm became a large number of scattered transmitters with limited range. When a user moves out of one transmitter's range and into another's, the network has to perform a "handoff." And as anyone who's lost a cell-phone call in a moving car or lost a Wi-Fi connection while walking to the bus stop can attest, handoffs don't always happen as they should. Researchers have now developed new protocols that can often, for users moving around, improve network throughput (the amount of information that devices could send and receive in a given period) by about 50 percent.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/sTGpe_g69UY?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="44" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/vsWcN05u_E0/110413120949.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Neurosurgeons test new device for placing brain implants</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 13 Apr 2011 09:09 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">A new MRI device that guides surgeons as they implant electrodes into the brains of people with Parkinson's disease and other neurological disorders could change the way this surgery, called deep brain stimulation, is performed.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/vsWcN05u_E0?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="45" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/WKtagtViKXE/110413120945.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Why does brain development diverge from normal in autism spectrum disorders?</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 13 Apr 2011 09:09 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Rett syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder on the autism spectrum, is marked by relatively normal development in infancy followed by a loss of loss of cognitive, social and language skills starting at 12 to 18 months of age.

Research has shown that a protein that helps cells stick together is frequently absent or out of place in these cancers, but it's unclear if its loss causes the tumors. The investigators report that mice engineered to lack this protein, called p120-catenin, in the oral-upper digestive tract develop squamous cell cancers.<img

Traditionally, women who opt to have a lumpectomy must first have surgery then undergo approximately six weeks of radiation. This schedule can be challenging for women who have busy schedules or do not have access to a center offering radiation therapy. In some cases, the demanding schedule causes women to not comply with the recommended course of treatment, increasing their risk for cancer recurrence.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/h5468oQQmPU?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="33" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/OoesR5A98ec/110412121314.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Circadian rhythms spark plants' ability to survive freezing weather</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 12 Apr 2011 09:13 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Just as monarch butterflies depend on circadian cues to begin their annual migration, so do plants to survive freezing temperatures.

The study estimates that the annual cost of damage caused by nitrogen across Europe is 70-320 billion Euros, more than double the extra income gained from using nitrogen fertilizers in European agriculture.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/auieH3g1BAM?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="49" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/cszq4mi50jc/110411142306.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Routine lab test data predicts progression to kidney failure for chronic kidney disease patients</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 11 Apr 2011 11:23 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">A prediction model that included data on measures of several routinely obtained laboratory tests including blood levels of calcium, phosphate and albumin accurately predicted the short-term risk of kidney failure for patients with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease, according to a new study.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/cszq4mi50jc?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="50" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/tB8ZYavR0f4/110411142304.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Combined use of three markers for kidney disease may help predict risk of kidney failure, death</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 11 Apr 2011 11:23 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Combining the chronic kidney disease markers of creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio with the biomarker cystatin C was associated with improved prediction of end-stage kidney disease and all-cause death, according to a new study.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/tB8ZYavR0f4?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="51" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/IbUwwvE5hug/110411131350.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Tuberculosis strain spread by the fur trade reveals stealthy approach of epidemics</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 11 Apr 2011 10:13 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">French Canadian voyageurs spread tuberculosis throughout the indigenous peoples of western Canada for over 150 years, yet, strangely enough, it wasn't until the fur traders ceased their forays that epidemics of tuberculosis broke out.

However, research has shown both that invasive species may be one of the most important threats to biodiversity and that plant invasions are rarely the cause for native species extinctions.

Methylmercury, a potent human neurotoxin, appears in the environment when certain naturally occurring bacteria transform inorganic mercury into its more toxic cousin. Few bacterial species are capable of this conversion, and exactly how the transformation takes place has been a matter of debate for decades.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/e0npoXQ1zfk?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="3" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/vq9u7p6O_iw/110408163911.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Free software makes computer mouse easier for people with disabilities</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 08 Apr 2011 01:39 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">As the population ages, more people are having trouble with motor control, but now scientists have invented two mouse cursors that make clicking targets a whole lot easier.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/vq9u7p6O_iw?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="4" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/EsLdvn-RUS8/110408163908.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Virtual reality lab focuses on conservation</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 08 Apr 2011 01:39 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Timber!

Researchers found that mice that were bullied persistently by dominant males grew unusually nervous around new company, and that the change in behavior was accompanied by heightened sensitivity to vasopressin, a hormone involved in a variety of social behaviors. The findings suggest how bullying could contribute to long-term social anxiety at the molecular level.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/yr43GvJv9es?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="39" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/1o2zex7RbgE/110407202212.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">New genetic technique probes the cause of skin cell differentiation in mammals</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 07 Apr 2011 05:22 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">A tremendous amount of genetics research has been done in flies and tiny worms, in part because scientists have good tools for tweaking these creatures' DNA. Now, by adapting a powerful method of RNA interference for use in mice, researchers have identified key pathways that cause skin cells to differentiate, eventually forming the flexible but protective outer casing of the body. The work illustrates the potential for performing relatively fast and complex genetic studies in a fellow mammal, and also provides a deeper understanding of cell differentiation in early development.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/1o2zex7RbgE?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="40" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/Xcj6YDxMqco/110407171732.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Ryan plan would fundamentally change Medicare, expert says</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 07 Apr 2011 02:17 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">A law professor says House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's proposal to change Medicare for those under age 55 is nothing short of a complete reconceptualization of the popular health insurance program.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/Xcj6YDxMqco?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="41" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/bAbPmoBUWtU/110407171730.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">On-site cardiology team dramatically improves care for heart attack patients</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 07 Apr 2011 02:17 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">The availability of an in-house, around-the-clock interventional cardiology team dramatically decreases the time it takes to restore blood flow to heart attack patients, according to new data.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/bAbPmoBUWtU?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="42" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/Sl4uVSRtDKM/110407171728.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Caffeine and diabetes: Helpful or harmful?</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 07 Apr 2011 02:17 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">A growing body of research suggests that caffeine disrupts glucose metabolism and may contribute to the development and poor control of type 2 diabetes, a major public health problem.

First evidence indicates that the expression of this gene is deregulated during the pathogenesis of liver diseases in humans.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/ruxRiDWCpHE?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> </table> <table style="border-top:1px solid #999;padding-top:4px;margin-top:1.5em;width:100%" id="footer"> <tr> <td style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;">You are subscribed to email updates from <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/news/">ScienceDaily: Latest Science News</a> <br />To stop receiving these emails, you may <a href="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailunsubscribe?k=qWWNSoT1HYaIlIDhvnqdiCHObAQ">unsubscribe now</a>.</td> <td style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;text-align:right;vertical-align:top">Email delivery powered by Google</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;">Google Inc., 20 West Kinzie, Chicago IL USA 60610</td> </tr> </table> </div> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15027590.post-54434808909515584072011-04-06T02:12:00.001-07:002011-04-22T10:38:31.114-07:00ScienceDaily: Latest Science News<style type="text/css"> h1 a:hover {background-color:#888;color:#fff ! important;} div#emailbody table#itemcontentlist tr td div ul { list-style-type:square; padding-left:1em; } div#emailbody table#itemcontentlist tr td div blockquote { padding-left:6px; border-left: 6px solid #dadada; margin-left:1em; } div#emailbody table#itemcontentlist tr td div li { margin-bottom:1em; margin-left:1em; } table#itemcontentlist tr td a:link, table#itemcontentlist tr td a:visited, table#itemcontentlist tr td a:active, ul#summarylist li a { color:#000099; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none; } img {border:none;} </style> <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" id="emailbody" style="margin:0 2em;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"> <table style="border:0;padding:0;margin:0;width:100%"> <tr> <td style="vertical-align:top" width="99%"> <h1 style="margin:0;padding-bottom:6px;"> <a style="color:#888;font-size:22px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;" href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/news/" title="(http://www.sciencedaily.com/news/)">ScienceDaily: Latest Science News</a> <br /> <a href="http://fusion.google.com/add?source=atgs&feedurl=http://www.sciencedaily.com/rss/newsfeed.xml"> <img style="padding-top:6px" alt="" border="0" src="http://gmodules.com/ig/images/plus_google.gif" /> </a> </h1> </td> <td width="1%" /> </tr> </table> <hr style="border:1px solid #ccc;padding:0;margin:0" /> <ul style="clear:both;padding:0 0 0 1.2em;width:100%" id="summarylist"> <li> <a href="#1">Climate change threatens global security, warn medical and military leaders</a> </li> <li> <a href="#2">Face time with a female aids males bent on monkey business</a> </li> <li> <a href="#3">Better a sprint than a marathon: Brief intense exercise better than endurance training for preventing cardiovascular disease</a> </li> <li> <a href="#4">Obesity increases the risk of fetal and infant death, and the risk of complications after hysterectomy</a> </li> <li> <a href="#5">Climate change is making our environment 'bluer'</a> </li> <li> <a href="#6">Did dinosaurs have lice?

Early mood was linked to their perceptions of customers and to how they reacted to customers' moods.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/6we1NjTT9pQ?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="30" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/rOO9vnCobbQ/110404151351.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Formaldehyde: Poison could have set the stage for the origins of life</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 04 Apr 2011 12:13 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Formaldehyde, a poison and a common molecule throughout the universe, is likely the source of the solar system's organic carbon solids -- abundant in both comets and asteroids. Scientists have long speculated about the how organic, or carbon-containing, material became a part of the solar system's fabric. New research shows that these complex organic solids were likely made from formaldehyde in the primitive solar system.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/rOO9vnCobbQ?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="31" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/TXt2hH3xY-4/110404151349.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Algae that live inside the cells of salamanders are the first known vertebrate endosymbionts</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 04 Apr 2011 12:13 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">A species of algae long known to associate with spotted salamanders has been discovered to live inside the cells of developing embryos, say scientists from the US and Canada.

HO comes in two main forms -- one that appears in children and is congenital, another that strikes wounded military personnel and surgery patients and is triggered by severe injuries and wounds. An animal study by developmental biologists shows that a drug that interrupts a signaling-nuclear protein pathway can prevent HO.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/xAORMx2oslc?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="8" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/iTihKUpxr7Q/110403141329.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Four new genes for Alzheimer's disease risk identified</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 03 Apr 2011 11:13 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Researchers have identified four new genes linked to Alzheimer's disease.

New research demonstrates that an artificial plasmid coding for the replicase genes of Sindbis virus causes regression and destruction of lung cancer, or melanoma, cells in mice.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/tn5LBG9Fp1g?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="54" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/81uSbehWhEE/110328092503.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">Chemists play important roles as advisers for science-based television shows, movies</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 28 Mar 2011 06:25 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Producers and writers for several popular medical and science fiction television shows like House, Breaking Bad, and Zula Patrol -- major sources of information about science and technology for millions of people -- say they do strive for scientific accuracy.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/81uSbehWhEE?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="55" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/Bgk97zuWpxc/110328092501.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">New trash-to-treasure process turns landfill nuisance into plastic</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 28 Mar 2011 06:25 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">With billions of pounds of meat and bone meal going to waste in landfills after a government ban on its use in cattle feed, scientists have described development of a process for using that so-called meat and bone meal to make partially biodegradable plastic that does not require raw materials made from oil or natural gas.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/Bgk97zuWpxc?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="56" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/_4PDkzsCzbM/110328092459.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email">'Green' cars could be made from pineapples and bananas</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 28 Mar 2011 06:24 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;">Your next new car hopefully won't be a lemon.
