In order to be considered and selected for this event, artists had to compete in the "The Elements" International Art Competition. The competition was conducted in the month of October 2011. That competition attracted 473 entries from around the world and Leon was one of the 75 artists who had their art chosen for this exhibit. This art exhibition is now online and can be viewed at http://www.lightspacetime.com.
Leon Sarantos originally grew up in the Midwest and currently lives in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. He obtained a Bachelor of Architecture degree in the College of Arts and Architecture at the University of Michigan. As an architectural student, he studied drawing, composition, rendering and water color painting. While working as an architect in California, he continued studying art at local colleges, especially oil painting. He also continued to learn as a self-taught artist and spent several winters in Mexico painting local scenes.
After moving to Chicago, Leon continued his work in architecture and art, and continued studying art at the Art Institute of Chicago and at Hyde Park Art Center. He has extensively exhibited his work in solo and group shows on a national basis.
Leon Sarantos' rich, colorful and award winning portfolio can be found at http://www.leonsarantosartist.com .
Art by Leon Sarantos displays his original oil-paintings and fine art photographs; lists his many solo and group exhibits; and notes his recent awards and honors. Original art can be purchased from his web site or by contacting him.

Novel nanocrystals with advanced optical properties developed for use as luminescent biomarkers
2011-11-15
Upconversion emission materials are ideal for bioimaging due to its effectiveness as contrast agents for the detection of cancer cells, more so when the background emission of non-cancerous tissues can be minimised. These materials could be used as biomarkers for luminescent labeling of cancerous cells. Opaque tissues can be turned into glassy, transparent substances by using these biomarkers which rely on near-infrared excitation.
The Singapore research team led by Associate Professor Xiaogang Liu and its co-researchers from Saudi Arabia and China succeeded in developing ...
New technique enables study of 'challenging' proteins
2011-11-15
Researchers from Hull, Bristol and Frankfurt have shown that a new technique for identifying molecular structure can be used effectively on small samples of biological proteins, particularly proteins that are targeted for drug development.
The technique, an enhanced form of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, could enable the structure of a protein to be identified within hours, rather than weeks or months, radically speeding up the process of drug discovery. The findings are published online in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Self-organized pituitary-like tissue from mouse ES cells
2011-11-15
November 14, 2011 – The possibility that functional, three-dimensional tissues and organs may be derived from pluripotent cells, such as embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), represents one of the grand challenges of stem cell research, but is also one of the fundamental goals of the emerging field of regenerative medicine. Developmental biology has played a central role in informing such efforts, as it has been shown that stem cell differentiation can be directed to follow a given lineage pathway by culturing stem cells in conditions that ...
Suggested link between radon and skin cancer
2011-11-15
A new study published this week suggests that a link may exist between radon exposure and non-melanoma skin cancer.
Researchers from the European Centre for Environment & Human Health (part of the Peninsula College of Medicine & Dentistry) have detected a connection following analysis of data on radon exposure and skin cancer cases from across southwest England. The study, which looked at small geographical areas across Devon and Cornwall, builds upon a similar study conducted 15 years ago.
Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas found in soil and bedrock common ...
Somerset County Volunteers Will Cook and Serve Thanksgiving Meal to Those in Need
2011-11-15
For the eleventh year, local volunteers, including former members and supporters of the Somerset County Association of Young Professionals (SCAYP), cook and serve a festive Thanksgiving meal for local families and individuals in need.
On Saturday, November 19, the group will meet at the Somerset County Vocational-Technical School in Bridgewater to cook approximately 15 turkeys and prepare a variety of mouth-watering desserts.
The next day, the group will be joined by volunteers from the Somerset County Food Bank to decorate the PeopleCare Center in Bridgewater and ...
Prenatal exposure to environmental pollutants determines weight and size at birth
2011-11-15
University of Granada researchers have proven that infants born to women living in large cities are more likely to have higher weight at birth than those born to mothers living in rural areas. This is probably due to a higher exposure to xenoestrogens, a type of environmental pollutants that act like hormones. This is the first research study conducted in Spain establishing a correlation between estrogenic burden in pregnant women's placenta and a higher birth weight.
For the purpose of this study, the researchers examined two groups of pregnant women. The first group ...
Spaniards' capacity for analyzing audiovisual messages is very low
2011-11-15
This study, which is a global pioneer, was carried out with the main objective of measuring the media competence of citizens from age sixteen on. "This allowed us to see individuals' ability to use critical reflection to interpret and analyze the audiovisual images and messages, as well as to express themselves in a communicative situation", explains one of the study's authors, Alejandra Walzer, of UC3M's Department of Journalism and Audiovisual Communication. This study, titled 'Media competence. Research on the level of citizens' competence in Spain ('Competencia mediatica. ...
