Living with water scarcity -- world must act now

...cess through water rights and investments in water storage and delivery infrastructure are essential ingredients. The value obtained per drop of water can be improved by pro-poor water technologies, and investments in roads and markets. Multiple use systems ?operated for domestic use, crop production, aqua...

Pacific Rim researchers to collaborate on distributed bioinformatics analysis of avian flu

"The end result is a dynam...

Lower carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fueled power plants possible with technology development

...’s Bureau of Economic Geology will also study this storage option at the bureau’s Gulf Coast Carbon Center. They will evaluate using this liquid carbon dioxide to improve enhanced oil recovery, an approach already in use by petroleum companies....

Many couples choose to donate surplus embryos for stem cell research

...or stem cell research, 44% decided to keep them in storage for their own future use, 7% opted to donate them to other infertile couples, and fewer than 1% made the decision to discard the embryos. "Among the couples who did not want to increase their family, 90% support the donation of embryos to stem cel...

Diabetes slows nerve recovery after heart transplant

... offering indirect conclusions about the presence, storage and release of neurotransmitters from neurons. These methods require complicated and laborious sampling of blood from coronary arteries and veins," he added. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enou...

Edible coatings will be the packaging of the future

..., on its thickness and on the relative humidity of storage of the foodstuff. Thus, the most efficient WPI films were those of greater thickness, with less amount of plastifier and that had been exposed to low relative humidity. The second stage involved a similar experiment, but with films made of starch, ...

Gardenia fruit compound starting point for diabetes therapy

Gene linked to rare disease activates fat breakdown

...l role in the body's "finely tuned balance" of fat storage and break down, new evidence reported in the May C...01 with the discovery that CGI-58 caused the lipid storage disease CDS in some patients, Zechner said. The symptoms characteristic of the disorder coupled with...

Ecosystem services and invasive species

...me of carbon worth $40,000 ?$200,000 and adds more storage space through growth, worth $2,000 ?$ 10,000 each year. Cappellato and Bohnert plan to study the park further, as well as expand their study to urban forests throughout Memphis. She will discuss her work during a poster session on landscape and eco...

Johns hopkins researchers find link between cell's energy use and genome health

..., and proteins around which the DNA is wrapped for storage and support. In addition to being used for energy, the acetyl part of acetyl-CoA also is used in controlling how tightly DNA is wrapped in the chromosomes. More acetyl on chromosomes leads to looser wrapped DNA. And locations along chromosomes tha...

Despite acidity, orange juice could still be a source of foodborne disease

...of foodborne pathogens or toxin production without storage time and temperature controls are defined by the U.S. Food Code as non-potentially hazardous foods. But this designation also includes foods that do not support growth but still may contain pathogenic organisms at sufficient levels to cause disease....

Chewing up a key regulator of fat synthesis keeps mice lean despite a high-fat diet

First direct mechanical communication of mitochondria, cardiomyocyte nucleus shown

...can also compress the nuclear organelles, ensuring storage and treatment of genetic information." Taken together, the results indicate that "the existence of such mechanical signaling between mitochondria and myofibrils opens a new possibility to search for drugs capable of increasing cardiac contractility...

Plants used to detect gas leaks, from outer space!

...rground stores used in proposed carbon capture and storage schemes. These stores are intended to help to prevent global warming: the argument is that if CO2 is sequestered indefinitely in underground reservoirs then it can't be acting to absorb heat in the earth's atmosphere. "Our own research attempts to ...

Higher carbon dioxide, lack of nitrogen limit plant growth

...estrial ecosystems as current and future sinks--or storage places--for excess carbon dioxide hinges on an ability to understand the complex interaction between atmospheric carbon dioxide and nitrogen in soils, the scientists believe. The six-year study, the longest of its kind, sheds light on the relationsh...

Insects and mammals share common fat-building pathway, study suggests

...e first to show a conserved effect of genes on fat storage from insects to mammals, according to the researchers. The study results further suggest that the Hh pathway in mammals determines whether adult stem cells are fated for fat or bone. The findings suggest that drugs that target the Hh pathway might p...
