How do we fight the war against cyber terrorism?
2011-04-12
The Internet has no borders, no universal legislation, and although highly social and distributed is not represented by cooperation across the globe. Given those characteristics how might nations make their plans for counter terrorism in cyberspace as active online as they are in the everyday world? A collaboration between researchers in the US and Iran hoped to address that issue and its findings are published this month in the International Journal of Internet Technology and Secured Transactions.
Incidence of online crime has grown considerably in recent years, with ...
New technique tracks viral infections, aids development of antiviral drugs
2011-04-12
WASHINGTON -- Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory Center for Bio-Molecular Science and Engineering have developed a method to detect the presence of viruses in cells and to study their growth. Targeting a virus that has ribonucleic acid (RNA) as its genetic makeup, the new technique referred to as locked nucleic acid (LNA) flow cytometry-fluorescence in situ hybridization (flow-FISH), involves the binding of an LNA probe to viral RNA.
While individual parts of the technique have been developed previously, Drs. Kelly Robertson and Eddie Chang, in collaboration ...
Silver Lining for Pan American Metals of Miami in Miami Beach: Helping You to Find Your Silver Lining
2011-04-12
Pan American Metals of Miami sees the silver lining as the dollar is crashing. Precious metals of gold, silver, paladium and platinum.
You hear stories of people making money and wonder, why can't I get a break like that? Well, this is the break. You now know something that most people won't find out until its headline news... and by that time it's too late. Let's pick up so many oz. positions.
You see finding a bag of money on the train is only part of winning... you still have to pick it up and carry it home... don't you? So what I'm saying is it is not that easy ...
Tufts biologists find another clue to the origins of degenerative diseases
2011-04-12
MEDFORD/SOMERVILLE, Mass. -- For years, researchers in genome stability have observed that several neurodegenerative diseases—including Huntington's disease—are associated with cell-killing proteins that are created during expansion of a CAG/CTG trinucleotide repeat.
In research published in the March 17 online edition of the journal PLoS Genetics, Tufts University biologist Catherine Freudenreich, and then-graduate student Rangapriya Sundararajan show that cell death in yeast can also result from the process by which the cell repairs damage that occurs within a repeated ...

Fatigue and sleep woes worsen neurocognitive problems in childhood cancer survivors
2011-04-12
Fatigue and sleep problems dramatically reduce the thinking and reasoning abilities of adults who survived childhood cancer, according to new research from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study. Researchers hope the findings will lead to new strategies for improved neurocognitive functioning in this growing population. The work was led by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital investigators.
This is the first study to show that childhood cancer survivors are particularly vulnerable to impaired memory, emotional control, organization and related neurocognitive skills due ...
Mechanism for esophageal cancer uncovered
2011-04-12
A gene thought to be associated with cancer development can be a tumor suppressor gene in mice, researchers have discovered. Understanding which genes are involved in spreading cancer could lead to future therapies.
"For cancer to spread, some genes are activated, while others that would prevent cancer growth are prevented from doing their jobs. The cancer research community has thought that the gene p120, falls into the latter category," said Douglas Stairs, Ph.D., assistant professor of pathology, who completed this research at University of Pennsylvania and is now ...
Mechanism for invasion of tumorous cells discovered by Hebrew University researchers
2011-04-12
Jerusalem, April 11, 2011 – Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have discovered a previously unknown mechanism whereby tumor cells invade normal tissues, spreading cancer through various organs.
The ability of tumor cells to invade adjacent structures is a prerequisite for metastasis and distinguishes malignant tumors from benign ones. Thus, understanding the mechanisms that drive malignant cells to invade and a possible avenue for halting that mechanism could have tremendous potential for enhancing early detection of malignant cells and for therapeutic ...
Umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells studied for lupus therapy
2011-04-12
Tampa, Fla. (April 11, 2011) – Human umbilical cord blood-derived mensenchymal stem cells (uMSCs) have been found to offer benefits for treating lupus nephritis (LN) when transplanted into mouse models of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE is an autoimmune disease with "myriad immune system aberrations" characterized by diverse clinical conditions, including LN, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality for patients with SLE.
The beneficial results were reported in a study by Taiwanese researchers published in the current issue of Cell Transplantation (20:2), freely ...
Superior Lamp, Inc. is Seriously Committed to Reducing Energy Consumption
2011-04-12
Each day we are making conscious and unconscious decisions that greatly affect how much energy that we use and, therefore, how much energy is required to be produced. The cost has never been higher.
The effects of our energy consumption are all around us. Just take a look at any headline in the news today. Many are energy-driven. Each time a middle eastern country has a crisis our stock market shudders at the possibility that oil production may drop off by two or three percent. Every time a storm rises in the Gulf of Mexico, or a bill in Congress on deep water drilling ...
