...puter back on and make sure that all internal fans spin up and operate consistently. You should see two or three internal fans in your average computer - usually one fan is over the central processor, while another may be located atop the graphics card, into which your monitor cable usually plugs. Secon...

Astronauts can Now Feed on 'radiation-eating' Fungi

...to capture radiation. By measuring the electron spin resonance signal after melanin was exposed to ionizing radiation, they showed that radiation interacts with melanin to alter its electron structure. This is an essential step for capturing radiation and converting it into a different form of energy t...

...set up the bio-latrine, said it was planning a new spin for four more it is set to build in Kibera. "We realized that income would be higher if we had people using the gas from the latrine for cooking because the need for that service was higher," said David Kuria, a project manager with Practical Actio...

New Jersey Decides to Support $500 M Stem Cell Research

... to do so. Stem cell research has several positive spin offs – It could lead to the cure of diabetes, cancer and other diseases. However the opponents oppose destruction of human embryo stressing that it amounts to murder. Amidst positive vibes for the project, there exist many a voice of dissent. Mr Leon...

Genetic Variation: We're More Different than We Thought

... of an abundance of DNA variation puts a whole new spin on the study of genetic disease. Most research has focused on small alterations, called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). It may be, said Scherer, that some diseases are caused by copy number variations rather than SNPs. In fact, recent researc...

...all, stimulate the inflammatory response which can spin out of control. Sepsis progresses swiftly from chills, fever and shallow breathing, to dilated and leaky blood vessels, a lack of blood supply in the body’s organs, multiple organ failure and, often, death. Infection causes the body’s immune system...

...take SLS to other countries. "We also managed to spin off SLS into a social venture around children's animated 'books' at bookbox.com," he adds. Three to five years of the SLS exposure, without any other educational inputs, can move a person from alphabet recognition to functional literacy, while neo...
