NASA study refutes claims of drought-driven declines in plant productivity, global food security

Earth-bound asteroids come from stony asteroids, new studies confirm

2011-08-27

Researchers got their first up-close look at dust from the surface of a small, stony asteroid after the Hayabusa spacecraft scooped some up and brought it back to Earth. Analysis of these dust particles, detailed in a special issue of the journal Science this week, confirms a long-standing suspicion: that the most common meteorites found here on Earth, known as ordinary chondrites, are born from these stony, or S-type, asteroids. And since chondrites are among the most primitive objects in the solar system, the discovery also means that these asteroids have been recording ...

Mazda Bumper Recycling Program Making More Eco-Friendly Cars According to Bright Bay Mazda in Long Island

2011-08-27

Bright Bay Mazda is excited to announce that Mazda has developed an industry-first recycling technology that takes old bumpers from end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) and recycles them into raw materials for new car bumpers. The innovative technology by Mazda is a major step in reducing waste and building greener vehicles. Mazda's new recycling process is known as thermal recycling. Mazda breaks down the old bumpers into a residue which then gets thrown into an incinerator to recollect the heat energy. The recycled plastic is projected to be 10% of the new bumper. Mazda's ...

Scientists create natural Alzheimer's-fighting compound in lab

2011-08-27

Scientists at Yale University have developed the first practical method to create a compound called huperzine A in the lab. The compound, which occurs naturally in a species of moss found in China, is an enzyme inhibitor that has been used to treat Alzheimer's disease in China since the late 1990s and is sold in the U.S. as a dietary supplement to help maintain memory. Scientists believe it could also potentially combat the effects of chemical warfare agents. Until now, researchers have only been able to derive small amounts of the compound directly from the Huperzia ...

Yale University researchers have successfully re-engineered the protein-making machinery in bacteria, a technical tour de force that promises to revolutionize the study and treatment of a variety of diseases. "Essentially, we have expanded the genetic code of E. coli, which allows us synthesize special forms of proteins that can mimic natural or disease states," said Jesse Rinehart of the Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology and co-corresponding author of the research published in the August 26 issue of the journal Science. Since the structure of DNA was revealed ...

Researchers are seeking to identify new targets for therapeutics that could limit appetite and thereby obesity. A team of researchers, led by Scott Waldman, at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, has now uncovered one such potential target by studying the molecular control of appetite in mice. In the study, Waldman and colleagues found that nutrient intake by mice caused cells in their gut to secrete the precursor of ...

The "Best Interest" of the Child Determines Custody in Divorce

2011-08-27

The "Best Interest" of the Child Determines Custody in Divorce Courts Have Broad Discretion to Decide a Child's Best Interest Often the biggest concern for parents going through a divorce is who will obtain custody of minor children. It can also be one of the most hotly contested issues in a divorce. In all states, custody is determined by what a judge determines is in a child's best interest. States vary in their definitions of what the "best interest" means. Generally, however, state laws allow judges to have fairly broad discretion in what ...

Linking Parkinson's disease and fat levels in the blood

2011-08-27

Parkinson disease (PD) is a relatively common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting 1-2% of the world's population over the age of 65 years. About 5-10% of PD cases are inherited, and mutations in the Parkin gene are a common cause of familial PD. Michael Sack and colleagues, at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, have now identified a new function for the protein templated by the Parkin gene, it regulates fat uptake from the blood by liver cells and thereby fat levels in the blood. Furthermore, they determine that it does this by regulating the level of expression ...
