(Press-News.org) The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite passed over Tropical Depression Meari as it neared a landfall in southwestern North Korea on June 26. TRMM did not observe any heavy rainfall, but did see moderate rainfall with the system.
TRMM captured an image of the rainfall in Tropical Depression Meari on June 26 at 1210 UTC (8:10 a.m. EDT). Most of the rainfall was light to moderate in the system, with the heaviest rain near the center of circulation falling at a rate between .78 to 1.57 inches (20 and 40 mm) per hour. Satellite imagery showed that Meari had become more elongated (because of wind shear) which indicates that the storm is weakening. Between the elongation of the system and the weak convection (lighter rainfall), Meari has lost much of its energy.
On June 27 at 0000 UTC (June 26 at 8 p.m. EDT), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued their last advisory on the system. At that time it was about 115 nautical miles west- Northwest of Seoul, South Korea, near 38.3 North latitude and 124.7 East longitude. It was moving to the northeast at 11 knots (13 mph/20 kmh).
The increased wind shear and cooler sea surface temperatures where Meari is now located have taken the steam out of the system. It is expected to fall apart as it crosses over the rough landscape of the Hamgyeong Mountain Range. The remnants of this system may track through North Korea and enter the Sea of Japan. It will be watched for possible regeneration at that time.

Black members of Adventist church defy health disparities, study shows
2011-06-28
LOMA LINDA, Calif. — Health disparities between black Americans and the rest of the nation have been well-documented in medical journals. But one study shows that blacks who identify as members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church actually report a better quality of life than the average American. Researchers point to certain lifestyle behaviors as a possible explanation for the difference. The research was conducted at Loma Linda University as part of the Adventist Religion and Health Study (ARHS), a study of nearly 11,000 Adventists, including more than 3,400 black Adventists.

A quiet phase: NIST optical tools produce ultra-low-noise microwave signals
2011-06-28
By combining advanced laser technologies in a new way, physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have generated microwave signals that are more pure and stable than those from conventional electronic sources. The apparatus could improve signal stability and resolution in radar, communications and navigation systems, and certain types of atomic clocks.
Described in Nature Photonics,* NIST's low-noise apparatus is a new application of optical frequency combs, tools based on ultrafast lasers for precisely measuring optical frequencies, or colors, ...

Different subtypes of triple-negative breast cancer respond to different therapies
2011-06-28
Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center researchers have identified six subtypes of an aggressive and difficult-to-treat form of breast cancer, called "triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)."
In the July issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Cancer Center Director Jennifer Pietenpol, Ph.D., and colleagues describe the molecular features of these six distinct subtypes and identify chemotherapies to which the different subtypes respond in cultured cells and animal tumor models. Knowing the specific subtype could help physicians determine which therapies would work best ...
Active self-defense strategy best deterrent against cyber-attacks
2011-06-28
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — With the threats of cybercrime, cyberterrorism and cyberwarfare looming over our hyper-connected world, the best defense for the U.S. might be a good offense, says new research by a University of Illinois expert in technology and legal issues.
Law professor Jay P. Kesan warns that an active self-defense regime, which he terms "mitigative counterstriking," is a necessity in cyberspace, especially to protect critical infrastructure such as banking, utilities and emergency services.
"The threats from cyber-attacks are real, and the harm of a potential ...

Researchers find a keystone nutrient recycler in streams
2011-06-28
Researchers from the University of Georgia Odum School of Ecology have found that certain neotropical stream ecosystems rely almost entirely on a single fish species known as the banded tetra for the critical nutrient phosphorus. In a paper recently published in the journal Ecology, the researchers, led by Gaston E. "Chip" Small, explain why this particular species plays such a crucial role—and why these stream systems are vulnerable as a result.
"I initially set out to understand how different physiological factors—diet, fish elemental composition, stream chemistry—interacted ...
