Secrets of the deep may hold key to life on other planets
Leeds researchers use NERC grant to understand extreme sea creaturesExtraordinary creatures who inhabit extreme underwater conditions are being investigated by University scientists in a three-year project. These deep-sea communities could reveal an evolutionary history different to anything else on earth and even give us clues to how life could exist onother planets. The creatures live a...Study to explore using magnets to correct 'sunken chest'
Researchers at UCSF Children's Hospital in San Francisco have launched a groundbreaking study to determine whether a new procedure using magnets can correct sunken chest, the most common congenital chest deformity, in the same way that orthodontic braces gradually realign teeth. Sunken chest, which is known medically as pectus excavatum, is a deformity of the cartilage that connects the ri...NASA predicts nongreen plants on other planets
NASA scientists believe they have found a way to predict the color of plants on planets in other solar systems. Green, yellow or even red-dominant plants may live on extra-solar planets, according to scientists whose two scientific papers appear in the March issue of the journal, Astrobiology. The scientists studied light absorbed and reflected by organisms on Earth, and determined that i...Using nanomagnets to enhance medical imaging
Nanoscale magnets in the form of iron-containing molecules might be used to improve the contrast between healthy and diseased tissue in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—as long as the concentration of nanomagnets is carefully managed—according to a new report* by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and collaborators. Molecular nanomagnets are a new class of MR...Bio-Plex Manager Software, version 3.0, 5 license netshare from Bio-Rad

Both users and creators of corporate intranets are frustrated. In a recent Moreover survey, 58 percent of respondents said the Internet was their primary information resource at work, but only 11 percent considered the intranet to be their main source of information. Given all the money and effort that has gone into intranet sites, why do users find so little value in them? By 1998, comp...Swallowing Magnets Found To Be Dangerous for Kids
Swallowing foreign objects is a common occurrence among children between 6 months and 3 years old. About 80 percent of objects // that reach the stomach will pass through the gastrointestinal tract on their own. However, up to 20 percent will need to be surgically removed. Children who swallow more than one magnet need immediate medical attention. Researchers say if magnets are allowed t...Health of Mothers and Children Show Improvement after Use of Insecticide-Treated Bed Nets
The ill-effects of mosquito bites on the health of people living in Africa is well known, and a recent study into this, has shown the positive impact on health// of women and children, including expectant mothers, when they chose to sleep under the insecticide-treated nets. Infact expectant mothers are more likely to deliver healthy babies, if adequate protection against mosquito bites is...Toys With Tiny Magnets Recalled
Three children who reportedly swallowed tiny magnets that fell off toys had to be operated upon. Following these incidents, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has// ordered a major recall of 4.4 million Polly Pocket magnetic play sets made by Mattel.Mattel is an El Segundo-based toy manufacturer. The commission took this action after receiving around 170 complaints reporting tha...Magnets in Commercial Products may Cause a Fatal Attraction
A type of magnet, that is currently used in many commercial gadgets may cause visible disturbance in the functioning of certain implanted heart devices,// like the pacemaker, with fatal consequences. Neodymium-iron-boron magnets are very powerful. These magnets were introduced into the market recently and are silver in appearance. They are more magnetic than the more familiar, dull gre...Bench Top Vertical Airflow Cabinets Production Protection
