NEW YORK, NY, April 02, 2011 (Press-News.org) Chelsea's Agora Gallery will feature an originally Italian artist, Guy Marino, in Altered States of Reality: an Exhibition of Analog and Digital Fine Art Photography. The exhibition is scheduled to run from April 19, 2011 through May 10, 2011 (opening reception: Thursday, April 21, 2011).
About the Artist
Guy Marino creates art that centers around contradictions. Fusing elements of his oil painting with original photography and cutting edge digital enhancement techniques, Marino relies on duality to form a distinct platform for his art. His large-scale archival digital prints mounted on plexiglass feature a wide array of human subjects that come to resemble enchanted islands. Compositionally split at the midline, a diaphanous growth of orbs, scratches, crumbles and crystal formations overlay half of each subject. Fresh and organic meets digital and sci-fi, nature meets culture, art meets life. Inspired by the historical art and architecture of his European homeland - medieval streets, Renaissance frescos, vaulted ceilings and ancient ruins - Marino's work is at once hyper-contemporary and reminiscent of times past.
Born in 1945 in Italy, Guy Marino attended the Scuola Superiore D'Arte Applicata All'Industria in Milan. In the early seventies he moved to New York City to pursue a career as a graphic designer and fine artist.

Fossil is best look yet at an ancestor of buttercups
2011-04-02
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Scientists from the United States and China have discovered the first intact fossil of a mature eudicot, a type of flowering plant whose membership includes buttercups, apple trees, maple trees, dandelions and proteas. The 125 million-year-old find, described in this week's Nature, reveals a remarkably developed species, leading the scientists to argue for an earlier origin of the eudicots -- and perhaps flowering plants in general.
"This fossil opens up a new way of thinking about the evolution of some of the first flowering plants," said Indiana ...

Poop reveals an immigrant in Isle Royale wolves' gene pool

The wolves and moose of Isle Royale have done it again. They've surprised the scientists who have spent more than half a century studying them.
In a journal article published online today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society and in their 2010-2011 annual report, Michigan Technological University researchers John A. Vucetich and Rolf O. Peterson tell an unexpected tale of genetic immigration. In 1997, a virile male wolf crossed an ice bridge from Canada to the remote island national park in northern Lake Superior.

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 ...

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 ...
