Study: 'homemade' gene expression technology unreliable
Technology for analyzing gene expression must be standardized among laboratories and across platforms around the world to support this age of human genome exploration, an Oregon Health & Science University researcher says. Otherwise, scientists using DNA microarrays, also known as gene chips, risk having their research results called into question, said Peter Spencer, Ph.D., professor...Seal rookeries could provide a reliable food source for endangered California condors, study finds
A team of scientists is proposing that endangered California condors raised in captivity be released near seal and sea lion rookeries so that the birds can once again feast on the carcasses of marine mammals as their ancestors did centuries ago. The researchers from Stanford University and four other institutions base their conclusion on the feeding behavior of modern and early condors and...55S Single Platform Shaker 12 x 16 from Reliable Scientific
Description:The model 55S Rocking Shaker provides the exact agitation needed for gels and blotted membranes. The very slow to fast speed and easily adjustable degree of tilt provide a gentle wave motion that lifts and washes over gels and blotted membranes to achieve faster, more uniform mixing than orbital, nutating, or reciprocating shakers....55D Double Platform Shaker 12 x 16 from Reliable Scientific
Description:The model 55D Rocking Shaker provides the same Reliable quality as the 55S, but double the value. The 55D gives you an additional platform with a height of 3.25 in....Reliable Assessment of Micronuclei for Genotoxicity Testing in Mice or Rats

Gene Expression Profiling Using Microarray Kits from Roche Applied Science The use of gene-expression profiling, a genomic applicationmeasuring mRNA transcript levels of many genes inparallel, has been growing rapidly...Four steps toward securing more reliable electric power for Wisconsin
MADISON The only thing standing between Wisconsin and a blackout as widespread as last weeks Northeast power outage is our still-sluggish economy. If more people were working and businesses were operating near peak capacity, as they were in the late 1990s, Wisconsins overtaxed transmission grid could shut down in a New York (or Cleveland) minute. A permanently sputtering economy is not...Shortness Of Breath A More Reliable Indicator Of High Risk Cardiac Disease
Shortness of breath can be a more reliable indicator of the underlying cardiac disease following the finding that such patients have a higher risk of dying from heart disease than patients without cardiac pain or other symptoms. //The general notion that chest pain alone is an indicator of cardiac disease has been disapproved by the finding. A retrospective evaluation of the medical rec...Are Conventional Tests for Heart attacks Reliable?
Dr. George Sopko, a heart specialist at the National Institutes of Health said that conventional tests fail to identify smaller blood vessel // clogs. About 3 million women are given the all-clear sign because they do not have the bulky clogs in main arteries. But these women complain of chest pain or shortness of breath and are at an increased risk of a heart attack in the next few y...Reliable Help For Smokers From Nicotine Patches and Former Smokers
Orlando: According to researchers, the support from a group of ex-smokers combined with nicotine patch, may be a good way to assist women smokers in public houses , to kick the habit. // Dr. Jeanette Andrews, nursing professor at the Medical College of Georgia observed 103 women smokers. About 50% of them were asked to use nicotine patch and behavioral treatment from nurses combined wi...Parents – Teen’s Most Reliable Source for Sex Educatin
Teens consider their Parents to be the most authentic source for correct information about Sex, according to a new study. // Among 1171 teens who took part in the study, conducted by the Canadian Association for Health Information, nearly 63% named the Parents as a key Knowledge disseminator about ‘Birds and The Bees’. Of course, teens also attribute some part of their knowledge to th...Male Contraceptives-Soon to be Reliable and Reversible
Recent research has revealed the possibilities for the development of a male hormonal contraceptive, which could be both reliable// as well as reversible within a few months of discontinuing treatment. Contraceptive methods available to men at present are limited to condoms, vasectomy and withdrawal. These methods are often unacceptable to most couples being either unreliable or as in...AeroScout Engine: Software for Reliable Visibility
