One of its main objectives was to develop the necessary software modules, tools and methodologies that enable the efficient and flexible integration of 'augmented' plants and ...

Scientists discover dozens of new species in 'Lost World' of western New Guinea

...Foja Mountains of western New Guinea ?discovered a virtual ''Lost World" of new species, giant flowers, and rare wildlife that was unafraid of humans. The December 2005 trip by a team of U.S., Indonesian, and Australian scientists led by Conservation International (CI) found dozens of new species including ...

St. Jude projects 90 percent cure rate for ALL

...St. Jude and elsewhere have transformed ALL from a virtual death sentence into a disease that children can increasingly be expected to survive with minimal side effects," Evans said. "Surpassing 90 percent is an important step toward our ultimate quest of curing all children with this disease." ...

UW scientists unravel critical genetic puzzle for flu virus replication

...sms and structures, Kawaoka and his colleagues, in virtual fashion, dissected a virus and its infectious particles to assess how the virus assembles and organizes the strands of RNA that carry its genes so it can exit one cell and go on to infect other cells. What Kawaoka found was that the viruses were ass...

Agricultural workers at increased risk for infection with animal flu viruses

... as well as human flu viruses--thereby acting as a virtual virus "mixing bowl," especially on farms where pigs, chickens and people coexist--is a potential public health concern, the study authors assert. The paper appears online this week in Clinical Infectious Diseases. "Pigs play a role in transmitting ...

Amphetamines reverse Parkinson's disease symptoms in mice

... may be sufficient to restore movement even in the virtual absence of dopamine neurotransmission," she added. Amphetamines might reverse the animal's symptoms through their effects on a different group of receptors called trace amine receptors, the researchers suggested. Recent evidence showed that amphetam...

Six previously blind patients detect light, motion, identify objects with retinal prostheses

...020, that figure is expected to double, creating a virtual vision-loss epidemic. Both AMD and RP destroy vision by annihilating the retinal cells that allow light to be translated into recognizable images. Second Sight's intraocular retinal prosthesis is taking the first step to replacing those cells with ...
