Nanopolymer shows promise for helping reduce cancer side effects

2011-04-06

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A Purdue University biochemist has demonstrated a process using nanotechnology to better assess whether cancer drugs hit their targets, which may help reduce drug side effects. W. Andy Tao, an associate professor of biochemistry analytical chemistry, developed a nanopolymer that can be coated with drugs, enter cells and then removed to determine which proteins in the cells the drug has entered. Since they're water-soluble, Tao believes the nanopolymers also may be a better delivery system for drugs that do not dissolve in water effectively. "Many ...

The 'molecular octopus': A little brother of 'Schroedinger’s cat'

2011-04-06

This release is available in German. For the first time – as presented in Nature Communications - the quantum behaviour of molecules consisting of more than 400 atoms was demonstrated by quantum physicists based at the University of Vienna in collaboration with chemists from Basel and Delaware. The international and interdisciplinary team of scientists thus sets a new record in the verification of the quantum properties of nanoparticles. In addition, an important aspect of the famous thought experiment known as 'Schroedinger's cat' is probed. However, due to the particular ...

Non-traditional learning environments need clearer definitions, MU researchers say

2011-04-06

What is the difference between e-learning, online learning and distance learning? University of Missouri researchers have found that even educators can't agree on what different forms of learning environments entail and, without some common definitions, it is difficult to study the best methods and provide students with accurate previews of courses. Joi Moore, associate professor in the School of Information Science and Learning Technologies in the MU College of Education, along with doctoral students Camille Dickson-Deane and Krista Galyen, found several definitions ...

Santa Monica Dentist, Dr. Khoubnazar, Has a Special Offer for New Patients

2011-04-06

Santa Monica cosmetic dentist, Dr. Sanaz Khoubnazar, is offering a new special for patients that seek high quality dental care. The standard price of $185 for a dental exam and x-ray is reduced to $49. This provides a low-cost way for new patients to experience the excellent treatments and dental care provided by Dr. Khoubnazar. Routine dental care is needed to clean the teeth and gum line professionally. Daily brushing and flossing help to reduce the buildup of bacteria and plaque, but professional dental cleanings can clean areas on the teeth and gum line that cannot ...

Migratory birds, domestic poultry and avian influenza

2011-04-06

The persistence and recurrence of H5N1 avian influenza in endemic regions can largely be blamed on movement and infection by migratory birds. Trade in poultry, poultry products and caged birds, and movement of wild birds also account for H5N1 prevalence in these areas. Several recent outbreaks of avian influenza have suggested strong evidence of migratory birds playing a role in transmitting the virus over long distances. In a paper published last week in the SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, authors Lydia Bourouiba, Stephen A. Gourley, Rongsong Liu, and Jianhong ...

Study finds link between chronic depression and accelerated immune cell aging

2011-04-06

Certain cases of major depression are associated with premature aging of immune cells, which may make people more susceptible to other serious illness, according to findings from a new UCSF-led study. The findings indicate that accelerated cell aging does not occur in all depressed individuals, but is dependent upon how long someone is depressed, particularly if that depression goes untreated. The study was published online in March 2011 by the journal PLoS One and is available here. "There's a lot more to depression than feeling blue," said first author Owen Wolkowitz, ...

Story tips from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory: April 2011

2011-04-06

MILITARY -- H2O from diesel Capillary action and graphite foam are being enlisted by researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to solve a logistical nightmare for the military and U.S. troops deployed around the world. While soldiers require nearly seven gallons of water a day, just getting that water to them increases troop vulnerability and limits their tactical use. Using an ORNL proprietary system, however, this problem could be greatly reduced. The system uses the pores of inorganic membranes to condense water present in a diesel's exhaust stream to produce about ...

Drought-exposed leaves adversely affect soil nutrients, study shows

2011-04-06

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Chemical changes in tree leaves subjected to warmer, drier conditions that could result from climate change may reduce the availability of soil nutrients, according to a Purdue University study. Jeff Dukes, an associate professor of forestry and natural resources, found that red maple leaves accumulate about twice as much tannin when exposed to hot, droughtlike conditions. Those tannins, which defend leaves from herbivores and pathogens, were shown to interfere with the function of common enzymes in soil. "When the leaves are particularly water-stressed ...

Happiness, comparatively speaking: How we think about life's rewards

2011-04-06

You win some, you lose some. You get the perfect job—the one your heart is set on. Or you get snubbed. You win the girl (or guy) of your dreams—or you strike out. Such are life's ups and downs. But what if you win and lose at the same time? You land a good job—but not a great one. Or you do get a plum offer—but not the one you wanted? A study published in an upcoming issue of Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, says you'll find a way to be happy anyway. "Good outcomes have relative value and absolute value, and that affects ...
