LateRooms.com - Junior Boys Set for Barcelona Show

Junior Boys will bring their sophisticated dance-pop to Barcelona on December 20th.

2011-11-22

BARCELONA, SPAIN, November 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) Electronic pop duo Junior Boys are set to perform at Barcelona's Sala Razzmatazz next month.

Their show in the Catalan capital on Tuesday December 20th will be the penultimate date on the Canadian duo's current tour of Europe, with the final gig taking place in Madrid the following night.

Jeremy Greenspan and Matt Didemus won critical acclaim for their latest album It's All True, which was released by Domino Records earlier this year.

Their music is known for mixing dancefloor-friendly disco, house and techno influences, although many of the duo's songs also contain a melancholy undertone.

It's All True features the single Banana Ripple, a nine-minute epic that was reportedly inspired by reclusive business mogul Howard Hughes and a story about his favourite flavour of ice cream.

Tickets to see Junior Boys in Barcelona can be bought online for EUR20 (GBP17.10) plus booking fee. Doors at the venue will be open from 20:00 local time.

Music fans will find a large selection of hotels in Barcelona at LateRooms.com, including the RSA Barcelona.

Situated just off Las Ramblas, this comfortable hostel offers visitors a central location and free Wi-Fi.

Satellite data can help protect bluefin tuna

2011-11-22

A new model developed by scientists of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) allows the potential presence of bluefin tuna to be tracked through daily updated maps, helping to protect endangered stocks and fight illegal fishing. The model, based on satellite remote sensing data, provides for the first time an overall view of the preferred bluefin tuna habitats in the Mediterranean Sea, as well as their changes over time. Satellite-based habitat mapping can help identify more precisely areas to be inspected or to be closed for fisheries and it can also help ...

Public misperception about scientific agreement on global warming undermines climate policy support

2011-11-22

FAIRFAX, Va., November 21, 2011—People who believe there is a lot of disagreement among scientists about global warming tend to be less certain that global warming is happening and less supportive of climate policy, researchers at George Mason, San Diego State, and Yale Universities report in a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change. A recent survey of climate scientists conducted by researchers at the University of Illinois found near unanimous agreement among climate scientists that human-caused global warming is happening. This new George Mason ...

Hypertension affects brain capacity

2011-11-22

Can dementias and mild cognitive impairment be influenced in their course by diseases and risk factors? This is the subject of a study reported by Thorleif Etgen and co-authors in the current issue of Deutsches Ärzteblatt International (Dtsch Arztebl Int 2011; 108[44]: 743-50). Increasingly larger numbers of people are affected by mild cognitive impairments and even dementia, which means that early detection of possible precursors as well as diagnosis and therapy of risk factors that can actually be influenced are gaining in importance. The term "mild cognitive impairment" ...

Older adults in home health care at elevated risk for unsafe meds

NEW YORK (Nov. 21, 2011) -- Older adults receiving home health care may be taking a drug that is unsafe or ineffective for someone their age.

The study's researchers, led by Dr. Yuhua Bao, assistant professor of public health at Weill Cornell Medical College, found that home health care patients aged 65 and over ...

It pays to be healthier

2011-11-22

Financial incentives work for doctors. Could they work for patients, too? Could they encourage them to change unhealthy behaviors and use preventive health services more? In some cases, yes, according to Dr. Marita Lynagh from the University of Newcastle in Australia, and colleagues. Their work, looking at why financial incentives for patients could be a good thing to change risky health behaviors, indicates that incentives are likely to be particularly effective at altering 'simple' behaviors e.g. take-up of immunizations, primarily among socially disadvantaged groups. ...

Cancer drug cisplatin found to bind like glue in cellular RNA

2011-11-22

EUGENE, Ore. -- (Nov. 21, 2011) -- An anti-cancer drug used extensively in chemotherapy binds pervasively to RNA -- up to 20-fold more than it does to DNA, a surprise finding that suggests new targeting approaches might be useful, according to University of Oregon researchers. Medical researchers have long known that cisplatin, a platinum compound used to fight tumors in nearly 70 percent of all human cancers, attaches to DNA. Its attachment to RNA had been assumed to be a fleeting thing, says UO chemist Victoria J. DeRose, who decided to take a closer look due to recent ...

Iowa State University scientists genetically increase algae biomass by more than 50 percent

2011-11-22

AMES, Iowa - Research at Iowa State University has led to discovery of a genetic method that can increase biomass in algae by 50 to 80 percent. The breakthrough comes from expressing certain genes in algae that increase the amount of photosynthesis in the plant, which leads to more biomass. Expressing genes means that the gene's function is turned on. "The key to this (increase in biomass) is combination of two genes that increases the photosynthetic carbon conversion into organic matter by 50 percent over the wild type under carbon dioxide enrichment conditions," said ...
