LOS ANGELES, CA, April 29, 2011 (Press-News.org) When the temperatures heat up dramatically, the air conditioner runs nonstop, putting a huge burden on the cooling system. It could help save money on energy costs and reduce your need for air conditioning repair in Los Angeles if you run your air conditioner efficiently. Precise Air Systems, Inc. provides helpful tips:
- Set your thermostat at 78 degree Fahrenheit and leave it there. Moving the thermostat to a lower temperature setting won't get your home to 78 degree any faster.
- Keep your blinds and curtains closed to keep the direct rays of the sun from entering your home. In the evening, open your drapes and blinds and allow heat to escape through the windows.
- When you're cooking, use the exhaust fan to help rid your home of the hot air. In the absence of an exhaust fan, use a floor fan in the kitchen, which will cool the air and help circulate it out of the room.
- Run the dishwasher and the clothes dryer at night or when no one is home, since these appliances tend to heat up the home.
- Run ceiling fans and floor fans in order to keep the air cooler without having to crank up the air conditioner. Fans use far less energy than air conditioners, and they move the cool air around the house.
- Since humid air makes you feel more uncomfortable and hotter when the temperatures rise, use a dehumidifier so that the air in your home is drier. The dry air combined with fans will make your family feel much more comfortable at 78 degree.
- If your air conditioner is exposed to direct sunlight, take steps to provide shade. You can plant shrubs or trees around your air conditioning units. It will help your A/C to run more efficiently if it isn't exposed to direct sunlight.

Clinical trial recommends new antibiotic for treating typhoid in low income countries
2011-04-29
A large clinical trial comparing treatments for typhoid has recommended the use of gatifloxacin, a new generation and affordable antibiotic. The results of the trial in Kathmandu, Nepal, funded by the Wellcome Trust and the Li Ka Shing Foundation, are published today in the Lancet Infectious Diseases.
Typhoid – also known as 'enteric fever' – is characterised by a high fever and diarrhoea. It is transmitted through the ingestion of food or drink contaminated by the faeces or urine of infected people. It causes an estimated 26 million infections each year and over 200,000 ...
Concern over 'excessive' doses of thyroid drugs for older patients
2011-04-29
Many older adults may be taking "excessive" doses of drugs for thyroid problems which can lead to an increased risk of fractures, finds a study published on bmj.com today.
The study raises concern that treatment targets may need to be modified in the elderly and that regular dose monitoring remains essential even into older age.
Levothyroxine is a synthetic form of thyroxine (thyroid hormone) and is widely used to treat an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism).
Most hypothyroid patients are diagnosed in early or middle adulthood but, as people age, their thyroxine ...
Electrical oscillations found to be critical for storing spatial memories in brain
2011-04-29
Biologists at UC San Diego have discovered that electrical oscillations in the brain, long thought to play a role in organizing cognitive functions such as memory, are critically important for the brain to store the information that allows us to navigate through our physical environment.
The scientists report in the April 29 issue of the journal Science that neurons called "grid cells" that create maps of the external environment in one portion of our brain require precisely timed electrical oscillations in order to function properly from another part of the brain that ...
Use of costly breast cancer therapy strongly influenced by reimbursement policy
2011-04-29
What Medicare would pay for and where a radiation oncologist practiced were two factors that strongly influenced the choice of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for treating breast cancer, according to an article published April 29 online in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The use of IMRT and the cost of radiation therapy increased sharply over the period of the study.
IMRT is a radiation delivery technique that modulates the radiation beams to conform to the shape of the tumor or tumor bed in an attempt to maximize the dose of radiation to the ...
Eddies found to be deep, powerful modes of ocean transport
2011-04-29
Researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and their colleagues have discovered that massive, swirling ocean eddies—known to be up to 500 kilometers across at the surface—can reach all the way to the ocean bottom at mid-ocean ridges, some 2,500 meters deep, transporting tiny sea creatures, chemicals, and heat from hydrothermal vents over large distances.
The previously unknown deep-sea phenomenon, reported in the April 28 issue of the journal Science, helps explain how some larvae travel huge distances from one vent area to another, said Diane K. Adams, ...
2 unsuspected proteins may hold the key to creating artificial chromosomes
2011-04-29
FINDINGS: Whitehead Institute scientists report that two proteins once thought to have only supporting roles, are the true "stars" of the kinetochore assembly process in human cells.
RELEVANCE: The kinetochore is vital to proper DNA distribution during cell division. This finding suggests that scientists may be able to stimulate kinetochore assembly in a process that could lead to new genetic research tools, such as efficient creation of artificial human chromosomes. Widespread use of artificial human chromosomes has been thwarted by scientists' current inability to ...
Mutant mouse reveals new wrinkle in genetic code, say UCSF scientists
2011-04-29
Call it a mystery with a stubby tail: an odd-looking mouse discovered through a U.S. government breeding program in the 1940s that had a short, kinky tail and an extra set of ribs in its neck – and nobody knew why.
A team of scientists led by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco has now spilled the genetic secrets of this mutant rodent. In doing so, they may have uncovered a new wrinkle in the genetic code – an entirely unrecognized way our bodies regulate how genes are expressed in different tissues throughout life.
This discovery has broad implications ...
Astronomers unveil portrait of 'super-exotic super-Earth:' Densest known rocky planet
2011-04-29
An international team of astronomers today revealed details of a "super-exotic" exoplanet that would make the planet Pandora in the movie Avatar pale in comparison.
The planet, named 55 Cancri e, is 60 per cent larger in diameter than Earth but eight times as massive. Twice as dense as Earth – almost as dense as lead – it is the densest solid planet known, according to a team led by astronomers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the University of British Columbia (UBC), the Harvard‑Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and the University of California ...
Water currents of South Africa could stabilize climate in Europe
2011-04-29
One of the ocean currents which particularly interests oceanographers and climatologists is the Gulf Stream. This current, originating in the Gulf of Mexico, transports enormous amounts of warm tropical waters to the North Atlantic and is the cause of Europe's habitable climate. Climate predictions point to the fact that this will change in the future and affect especially the climate in countries of the Mediterranean region, with more dry spells. As global warming progresses, the North Atlantic will receive more precipitation and a greater amount of water from the melting ...
New method for measuring biomass reveals fish stocks are more stable than widely believed
2011-04-29
Fish and marine species are among the most threatened wildlife on earth, due partly to over exploitation by fishing fleets. Yet there are differences in assessing trends in worldwide fishing stocks which, researchers writing in Conservation Biology argue, stem from inappropriate use of time trends in catches.
"Estimates of fishery status based on catches suggest that around 30% of fisheries are collapsed and 70% are overexploited or collapsed," said lead author Dr Trevor Branch from the University of Washington in Seattle. "Our assessment shows that the data are seriously ...
