Pitt-Stanford research suggests aimless proteins crucial to disease

2011-04-02

PITTSBURGH—Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and Stanford University discovered that a supposedly inactive protein actually plays a crucial role in the ability of one the world's most prolific pathogens to cause disease, findings that suggest the possible role of similarly errant proteins in other diseases. The team reports in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) that Toxoplasma gondii—the parasitic protozoa behind toxoplasmosis—attacks healthy cells by first injecting them with pseudokinases, which are enzymes that have abandoned their ...

Reggae legends Toots and The Maytals are playing in Cairns next month in a preview to their show at Byron Bay's Bluesfest. The group have been together for more than four decades, having risen to prominence in 1964 with their debut album I'll Never Grow Old - Presenting The Maytals.

The first non-trivial atom circuit: Progress toward an atom SQUID

2011-04-02

Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland (UM) have created the first nontrivial "atom circuit," a donut-shaped loop of ultracold gas atoms circulating in a current analogous to a ring of electrons in a superconducting wire. The circuit is "nontrivial" because it includes a circuit element—an adjustable barrier that controls the flow of atom current to specific allowed values. The newly published* work was done at the Joint Quantum Institute, a NIST/UM collaboration. Ultracold gases, such as the Bose-Einstein ...

Discount Vouchers are the Saviour of High Earners Looking to Off-Set Income Losses

2011-04-02

Discount vouchers are no longer just for the less well off, according to independent money saving website DiscountVouchers.co.uk, which reported recently that the traffic from ABC1 visitors on its site was at a record high with 61% of the two million-plus who logged on last month from the top income groups. The report comes around the same time as the latest research from the BBC* found that UK households suffered a loss of 1.6 per cent of real income after tax - a loss of GBP365 compared with figures for 2008. However, high tax payers are losing out worse still and ...

A measurement first: NIST 'noise thermometry' system measures Boltzmann Constant

2011-04-02

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have for the first time used an apparatus that relies on the "noise" of jiggling electrons to make highly accurate measurements of the Boltzmann constant, an important value for many scientific calculations. The technique is simpler and more compact than other methods for measuring the constant and could advance international efforts to revamp the world's scientific measurement system. The Boltzmann constant* relates energy to temperature for individual particles such as atoms. The accepted value ...
