Why a Salt Water Pool is Better Than a Chlorine Pool
2011-07-01
In the traditional pool system, chlorine must be periodically added to the water in tablet form in order for the water to remain healthy and safe to swim in. The chemical chlorine helps to prevent harmful bacteria and algae from congregating in the pool. In a salt water pool system, a chlorine generator is used to transform sodium chloride ("salt") into chlorine. In this method, there is constant stream of chlorine in the pool for sanitation, and the pool owner does not have to repeatedly place chlorine tablets inside the pool. So, a salt water pool system is ...
Variation in susceptibility to a virus is the key to understanding infection biology
2011-07-01
A new study shows that differences in the vulnerability of animals to a virus are crucial to understanding patterns of infection, and that variation in susceptibility to two marginally different viruses increases the number of infections when the two virus variants are present in the same animal. This study, by researchers from the Netherlands and Spain, will be published on June 30th in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology.
Models of virus infection often fail to predict how many animals will become infected and which virus variants will be present in the ...
Aircraft influence the local weather, new study shows
2011-07-01
This release is available in Arabic, Japanese and Chinese.
As airplanes fly through the clouds, they often punch holes through the ones that contain supercooled water, or water that has remained in liquid form below its freezing point. Now, researchers say that this phenomenon can lead to increased snowfall around the world's major airports.
The effect is similar to cloud seeding, which has been used in the past to influence the amount of precipitation falling from a cloud. But, new research shows that numerous private and commercial flights have been drilling holes ...
Reproductive behavior of the silkmoth is determined by a single pheromone receptor protein
2011-07-01
Pheromone preference, and the initiation of a complex programmed sexual behavior, is determined by the specificity of a single sex pheromone receptor protein expressed in a population of olfactory receptor neurons in the silkmoth (Bombyx mori). The study, which will be published on June 30th in the open-access journal PLoS Genetics, provides the first direct proof of the long-held belief that the control of sexual behavior in male moths originates in the chemical specificity of the pheromone receptor proteins expressed in pheromone receptor neurons.
Sex pheromones are ...

The other health problems, or 'comorbidities', include heart attack and other heart-related problems, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, and others.
Previous studies have shown that comorbidities as a group are associated with poorer overall survival and higher overall death rates among breast cancer patients. In this study, Jennifer ...
