Bacteria forge nitrogen from nitric oxide

2011-10-06

The anaerobic oxidation of ammonia (anammox) is an important pathway in the nitrogen cycle that was only discovered in the 1980s. Currently, scientists estimate that about 50 percent of the nitrogen in the atmosphere is forged by this process. A group of specialized bacteria perform the anammox reaction, but so far scientists have been in the dark about how these bacteria could convert ammonia to nitrogen in the complete absence of oxygen. Now, 25 years after its discovery, they finally solved the molecular mechanism of anammox. Anammox bacteria are very unusual because ...

NFL's Houston Texans Recognize Attorney Benny Agosto With Hispanic Heritage Leadership Award

2011-10-06

The National Football League (NFL) has teamed up with Bud Light to launch the NFL Hispanic Heritage Leadership Awards. This Sunday, October 9, the NFL is celebrating 2011 Hispanic Heritage Day. As part of the celebration, each of the 32 football teams is recognizing one member of the community for his or her positive impact on the local Hispanic population. The Hispanic Heritage Awards honor notable Latinos who have not only distinguished themselves in their field, but have also made an impact on America. The Houston Texans have chosen to honor attorney Benny Agosto ...

Earliest psychomyiid caddisfly fossils, from 100-million-year-old Burmese amber

2011-10-06

The examination of insects in Burmese amber by researchers at the University of Cologne, Germany and National Museums Scotland revealed a new genus of caddisfly, which has been named Palerasnitsynus. The discovery, based on two specimens, constitute the first record of the living family Psychomyiidae in Burmese amber and the oldest known member of this family in the fossil record. Burmese amber is 100 million years old, from the Cretaceous Period, so this discovery adds to our understanding of the caddisfly fauna in that part of the world at that time.INFORMATION: Original ...

Wisconsin's Boating Season off to a Deadly Start

2011-10-06

As of early August, Wisconsin's 2011 boating season reached a sad milestone: the number of boating deaths for the summer of 2011 had already equaled the total number of boating deaths in 2010. And, with approximately a month left of summer, Wisconsin's boating season may be in its waning moments, but there is plenty of beautiful weather left for boating, and the potential for more accidents. Numbers released by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources state that, as of early August, 18 people lost their lives in boating accidents on Wisconsin's rivers and lakes. ...

Unlocking jams in fluid materials

2011-10-06

In a study recently published in European Physical Journal E (EPJE), a German scientist constructed a theoretical model to understand how to best avoid jamming of soft matter that can be applied in food and cosmetics production. Thomas Voigtmann, a researcher at the Institute for Material Physics in Space in Cologne, Germany, evaluated the internal friction force, or yield stress, to be overcome before a solid material made of a metallic melt with a glass structure can flow and thus prevent jamming. These materials have an apparent viscosity that drops if they are ...

Components based on nature's example

2011-10-06

The exceptional strength of certain biological materials is due principally to their complex structure. Long bones, for instance, consist of a compact, solid outer casing filled with spongy tissue, which makes them particularly strong and resilient. Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institutes for Mechanics of Materials IWM and for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology UMSICHT are collaborating on a project entitled "Bionic Manufacturing", which aims to develop products that are lightweight but strong and economic in their use of materials – imitating the perfected ...

Early C-Sections Place Mothers and Babies at Risk

2011-10-06

A growing number of pregnant American women and delivery doctors are choosing Cesarean sections (C-sections) before their babies reach full term (39 weeks) instead of vaginal birth for the delivery of babies. According to recent studies, the number of C-sections performed in the United States has risen to more than 36 percent. Driving the increase are both mothers and their physicians. According to a study conducted by Yale researchers, women often choose Cesarean birth for convenience and for cosmetic reasons. Further, Dr. Uma M. Reddy, National Institute of Child ...

Premises Liability: Is a Property Owner Responsible for Your Injury?

2011-10-06

Who is responsible when a person is injured on a property owned by someone else? For example, is a landlord liable for tenant injuries? Premises liability law seeks to identify when the person in possession of the property must compensate someone for injuries that occur on that property. Because various legal factors -- such as negligence, the status of the visitor or the role the injured person played in the incident -- determine when property owners are responsible, premises liability cases can become highly complex. This makes the advice of a premises liability / ...

Molecular sudoku

2011-10-06

As reported this week in Nature Communications, the researchers used the atomically-sharp tip of a scanning tunneling microscope to move 1-nanometer sized molecules on top of a silver substrate. The tip is controlled with such great accuracy that it is possible to precisely choose the position of each molecule and build tiny molecular squares, crosses, and chains of controlled size and orientation. The same tip is then used as a mobile electrode to probe the electrical conductivity of the molecules as a function of their position in the array. Figures a-d show an example ...

Earlier tracheostomies result in better patient outcomes

2011-10-06

A tracheostomy performed within the first seven days after a severe head injury results in better overall patient outcome, according to a team of Penn State College of Medicine researchers. This is especially true for patients who have a greater chance of surviving when admitted to the hospital. A tracheostomy is an opening created in the front of the neck directly into the trachea to allow unimpeded breathing. (A tracheotomy is the act of making that opening.) "The CDC estimates that more than 200,000 individuals are hospitalized annually for traumatic brain injury," ...
