Development of new techniques to understand marble quality and durability

5/9/2008
The international commerce of ornamental stones has grown all over the world in the last years, revealing a decided solid support to the aesthetics of natural stones in buildings construction and urban ornamentation. Marble is, undoubtedly, the ornamental stone par excellence. All throu... [Comments]Development of new techniques to understand marble quality and durability

How body size is regulated

5/9/2008
This meta-analysis, published in the latest issue of Nature Genetics, is based on data from more than 26,000 study participants. It verifies two already known genes, but also discovered ten new genes. Altogether they explain a difference in body size of about 3.5 centimeters. The analysis produced some biologically insightful findings. Several of the identified genes are targeted by the mi... [Comments]

Study supports reason for concern in childhood and adolescent obesity

5/9/2008
COLUMBUS, Ohio Study findings presented at the May 2008 Pediatric Academic Societies and Asian Society for Pediatric Research Joint Meeting indicate that childhood and adolescent obesity negatively impacts vascular endothelial function, which relates to cardiac health. Obesity has been increasing rapidly in the U.S. during the past 20 years and obesity in adults has been linked to cardiov... [Comments]

New technique determines the number of fat cells remains constant in all body types

5/9/2008
LIVERMORE, Calif. - The radioactive carbon-14 produced by above-ground nuclear testing in the 1950s and '60s has helped researchers determine that the number of fat cells in a human's body, whether lean or obese, is established during the teenage years. Changes in fat mass in adulthood can be attributed mainly to changes in fat cell volume, not an increase in the actual number of fat cells.... [Comments]

Engineer to spearhead research into cell metabolism and medical injuries

5/9/2008
A University of Leicester engineer has won a share of grants totalling over 1m to target lung injury and cancer. In an unusual move, Dr. Declan Bates, a senior lecturer in the Department of Engineering at the University of Leicester, is co-recipient of 1,068,000 in the form of just two research grants: one from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the other fr...

Scientists endure Arctic for last campaign prior to CryoSat-2 launch

5/9/2008
An international group of scientists has swapped their comfortable offices for one of the most inhospitable environments on the planet to carry out a challenging field campaign that is seen as the key to ensuring the data delivered by ESA's ice mission CryoSat will be as accurate as possible. The scientists, mainly from Denmark, UK, Germany and Canada, are currently in the middle of CryoSa... [Comments]

Berkeley researchers identify photosynthetic dimmer switch

5/8/2008
In a study of the molecular mechanisms by which plants protect themselves from oxidation damage should they absorb too much sunlight during photosynthesis, a team of researchers has discovered a molecular dimmer switch that helps control the flow of solar energy moving through the system of li...
