Moores UCSD Cancer Center study links vitamin D, type 1 diabetes

...equator tend to have lower per capita healthcare expenditures, which could result in under-reporting of type 1 diabetes. The researchers created a graph with a vertical axis for diabetes incidence rates, and a horizontal axis for latitude. The latitudes range from -60 for the southern hemisphere, to ze...

Stanford researchers make first direct observation of 3-D molecule folding in real time

...mapped out the energy of the molecule's folding based on the forces required to uncurl it and the time the RNA took to re-curl. Block calls the energy graph the "crown jewel of the work," adding that "all the numbers you'd like to know about this folding sequence are right in front of you in that diagram."...

Research finds music training 'tunes' human auditory system

...as when rising pitch is used in questions). As the subjects watched the movie, the researchers used electrophysiological methods to measure and graph the accuracy of their brainstem ability to track the three differently pitched "mi" sounds. "Even with their attention focused on the movie and ...

End of deforestation in view? Experts advance new way to size up global forest resources

...shed by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the researchers plot on a graph the shift from 1990 to 2005 in the forest density and area of 50 countries ...ease in China's growing stock, biomass, and carbon sequestration." The graph shows Indonesia down roughly 2% per year in forested area and down 4% in de...

Diverse tropical forests defy metabolic ecology models

...FS team. Are tropical forest structure and dynamics too complex for universal explanations? "When you walk through different tropical forests, or graph data from different forests, there are certain features that, at first glance, look similar everywhere '" the presence of some very large trees, or th...

Signaling protein builds bigger, better bones in mice

...he number of ions hitting the detector at each mass-to-charge ratio (also known as m/z ratio) is recorded to produce a protein spectrum. A peak in the graph of the spectrum represents a protein (the identity of which is often unknown). The goal is to find a pattern of peaks that will distinguish between...
