Will Jewel @ Buangkok ad CT Hub 2 Be a 1-Day Sell-Out Development?
2013-05-24
After strong sales in March with new home sales hitting record high, April's sales volume appears muted. Developers sold 1,375 units in the month of April, less than half that of 2,793 units transacted in March. However, a total of 1,158 units were launched in April - 67% less than that launched in March with 3,489 units.
The slowdown in new launches could also be due to the absence of large condominium projects, which greatly contributed to the sales in March. According to Nicholas Mak of SLP International, a total of 12 projects were launched in April with the largest ...
Book Review from Prompt Proofing: The Virgin Cure by Ami McKay
2013-05-24
The Virgin Cure tells the story of Moth, a 12-year old girl fighting for an escape from the slum existence she was born into. The novel paints a gritty and often shocking picture of life in the poorest parts of Manhattan in the 1870s. There are many factual historic notes included in the novel that make disturbing reading to a twenty-first century audience.
While Moth is an intriguing and engaging character, considerably wiser than her years would suggest, it is Dr Sadie - ultimately her saviour - who provides a strong female role model. Interestingly, McKay initially ...
Pay attention: How we focus and concentrate
2013-05-23
Publishing in Neuron, the team reveal the interplay of brain chemicals which help us pay attention in work funded by the Wellcome Trust and BBSRC.
By changing the way neurons respond to external stimuli we improve our perceptual abilities. While these changes can affect the strength of a neuronal response, they can also affect the fidelity of that response.
Lead author Alex Thiele, Professor of Visual Neuroscience explains: "When you communicate with others, you can make yourself better heard by speaking louder or by speaking more clearly. Neurons appear to do similar ...
NASA's SDO observes another mid-level solar flare
2013-05-23
An image, captured at 11:06 a.m. EDT on May 22, 2013, from the ESA/NASA Solar Heliospheric Observatory shows the conjunction of two coronal mass ejections streaming away from the sun. This image is what's known as a coronagraph, in which the light of the sun is blocked in order to make its dimmer atmosphere, the corona, visible.
The M7-class flare was also associated with a coronal mass ejection or CME, another solar phenomenon that can send billions of tons of particles into space. While this CME was not Earth-directed, it has combined with an earlier CME, and the flank ...
University of Wisconsin chemists find new compounds to curb staph infection
2013-05-23
MADISON, Wis. – In an age when microbial pathogens are growing increasingly resistant to the conventional antibiotics used to tamp down infection, a team of Wisconsin scientists has synthesized a potent new class of compounds capable of curbing the bacteria that cause staph infections.
Writing online in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, a group led by University of Wisconsin-Madison chemistry Professor Helen Blackwell describes agents that effectively interfere with the "quorum sensing" behavior of Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium at the root of a host of ...
Depression linked to telomere enzyme, aging, chronic disease
2013-05-23
The first symptoms of major depression may be behavioral, but the common mental illness is based in biology — and not limited to the brain. In recent years some studies have linked major, long-term depression with life-threatening chronic disease and with earlier death, even after lifestyle risk factors have been taken into account.
Now a research team led by Owen Wolkowitz, MD, professor of psychiatry at UC San Francisco, has found that within cells of the immune system, activity of an enzyme called telomerase is greater, on average, in untreated individuals with major ...
Study shows people can be trained to be more compassionate
2013-05-23
MADISON, Wis. – Until now, little was scientifically known about the human potential to cultivate compassion — the emotional state of caring for people who are suffering in a way that motivates altruistic behavior.
A new study by researchers at the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds at the Waisman Center of the University of Wisconsin–Madison shows that adults can be trained to be more compassionate. The report, recently published online in the journal Psychological Science, is the first to investigate whether training adults in compassion can result in greater altruistic ...
New discovery in fight against deadly meningococcal disease
2013-05-23
"Neisseria meningitidis is an important human pathogen that can cause rapidly progressing, life threatening meningitis and meningococcal sepsis in humans," Professor Jennings said.
"Until now we have not known how it attaches to the human host. It has been a long-standing mystery how it attaches to the airway to colonise"
People can be carriers of the bug and not get any symptoms, while some people progress to invasive disease. To understand why, we need to know the detail of how the bacterium colonises the airway. Now that the pathway has been identified we can study ...
