2011-05-13

NORFOLK, ENGLAND, May 13, 2011 (Press-News.org) Fans of Bob Marley may be attracted to the Norwich Arts Centre for a special performance this summer.

On Wednesday June 15th, the Norfolk venue is due to stage Me Marley and I by Yaw Asiyama.

Set to the backdrop of live reggae music, this one-man play tells a story of love and friendship amid the chaos and brutality of a military revolution in Africa.

It is an autobiographical production written by and starring Asiyama, a poet and storyteller who used his real-life experiences to create the drama.

As the young Yaw attempts to make sense of the world, he is comforted by the wisdom of his grandmother and a love for the music of the Jamaican reggae legend.

The show in Norwich will be the final date on a short UK tour for Asiyama, who is also due to perform at venues in Northampton, London, Southampton and Birmingham.

Tickets for Me Marley and I are available to buy online, priced at GBP7 and GBP5 for concessions. The show is a seated performance and will begin at 20:00 BST.

Penguins continue diving long after muscles run out of oxygen

2011-05-13

Breathing heavily at the edge of an ice hole, an Antarctic emperor penguin prepares to dive. Taking a last gulp of air, the bird descends and may not emerge again for another 20 minutes. The penguin initially carries sufficient oxygen in three stores – the blood, lungs and myoglobin in muscle – to sustain aerobic metabolism. However, around 5.6 minutes after leaving the surface, lactate begins appearing in the penguin's blood and the bird crosses the so-called 'aerobic dive limit', switching to anaerobic metabolism in some tissues. So what triggers this transition? Cassondra ...

Seals sense shapes using their whiskers to feel wakes

2011-05-13

Hunting in the North Sea, harbour seals often encounter murky water that impedes their vision; but it doesn't affect their ability to chase prey. Extending their vibration-sensitive whiskers, the mammals are almost as efficient at pursuing their quarry as they would be if guided by sight. Wolf Hanke and his colleagues from the University of Rostock, Germany, are fascinated by how harbour seals perceive the world through their flow-sensitive vibrissae. Having already found that seals can pick up and follow fish wakes up to 35 seconds after the prey has passed and knowing ...

Sex hormone precursor inhibits brain inflammation

2011-05-13

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have discovered a steroid hormone that inhibits inflammation in the brain. The findings, to be published in the May 13 issue of the journal Cell, have implications for understanding the exaggerated inflammatory responses that are characteristic features of numerous neurodegenerative diseases. The discovery that the steroid hormone ADIOL, (5-androsten-3Β-17Β-diol), a precursor of androgens and estrogens, modulates inflammation induced by microglia cells could eventually lead to new treatments ...

Humanity can and must do more with less: UNEP

2011-05-13

New York, Nairobi – By 2050, humanity could consume an estimated 140 billion tons of minerals, ores, fossil fuels and biomass per year – three times its current appetite – unless the economic growth rate is "decoupled" from the rate of natural resource consumption, warns a new report from the United Nations Environment Programme. Citizens of developed countries consume an average of 16 tons (ranging up to 40 or more tons) of those four key resources per capita. By comparison, the average person in India today consumes four tons per year. With the growth of both population ...

Turning plants into power houses

2011-05-13

"I have a slide that has a photo of a cornfield and a big photovoltaic array," says Robert Blankenship, a scientist who studies photosynthesis at Washington University in St. Louis. "When I give talks I often ask the audience which one is more efficient. Invariably the audience votes overwhelmingly in favor of photosynthesis. " They are wrong. This question and its surprising answer (below) is the point of departure for a provocative article published in the May 13 issue of Science. The article is the outgrowth of a Department of Energy workshop comparing the efficiency ...

Digestive problems early in life may increase risk for depression, Stanford study suggests

2011-05-13

STANFORD, Calif. — Depression and anxiety may result from short-term digestive irritation early in life, according to a study of laboratory rats by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. The findings suggest that some human psychological conditions may be the result, rather than the cause, of gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome. "A lot of research has focused on understanding how the mind can influence the body," said Pankaj Pasricha, MD, professor and chief of gastroenterology and hepatology. "But this study suggests that it ...

Stanford discoveries about tumor-suppressing protein could help to reduce treatment side effects

2011-05-13

STANFORD, Calif. — Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have untangled two distinct ways in which a common, naturally occurring "tumor-suppressor" protein works. The separation of these two functions — which can have quite different consequences — could enhance efforts to develop treatment approaches that mitigate the sometimes-devastating side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The protein, p53, is mutated or missing in more than half of all human cancers, and most cancers involve at least some compromise in its function. Cancer is caused ...
