Researchers measure nanometer scale temperature
2011-12-20
Atomic force microscope cantilever tips with integrated heaters are widely used to characterize polymer films in electronics and optical devices, pharmaceuticals, paints, and coatings. These heated tips are also used in research labs to explore new ideas in nanolithography and data storage, and to study fundamentals of nanometer-scale heat flow. Until now, however, no one has used a heated nano-tip for electronic measurements.
"We have developed a new kind of electro-thermal nanoprobe," according to William King, a College of Engineering Bliss Professor in the Department ...
New Book Explores Joan Crawford's Horror Years Upon 50th Anniversary of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
2011-12-20
Fifty years ago in 1962 What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? offered a new lease on life to the careers of Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, as well as numerous other aging actresses. A new brand of horror films offered the stars work, and opportunity to reach their fans, and a much-needed income - Joan Crawford, above all others, welcomed the opportunity.
For Crawford it meant a chance to wipe away a mountain of debt that hung over her upon the death of her last husband, Pepsi-Cola executive Alfred Steele. While few biographers detail Crawford's later work, a new book from ...
Salk discovery may lead to safer treatments for asthma, allergies and arthritis
2011-12-20
La Jolla ---- Scientists have discovered a missing link between the body's biological clock and sugar metabolism system, a finding that may help avoid the serious side effects of drugs used for treating asthma, allergies and arthritis.
In a paper published last week in Nature, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies report finding that proteins that control the body's biological rhythms, known as cryptochromes, also interact with metabolic switches that are targeted by certain anti-inflammatory drugs.
The finding suggests that side effects of current ...
MU researchers find pet kidney injuries are similar to human kidney injuries
2011-12-20
COLUMBIA, Mo. – When evaluating early kidney injuries in people, doctors monitor blood level increases of creatinine, a waste product of muscle breakdown, to understand the severity of the injury. Creatinine is filtered by the kidneys, and small increases are an indication of early damage to vital kidney function. For pets suffering critical illness or injury, University of Missouri researchers have found that even tiny increases of creatinine in blood also could indicate acute kidney damage. Using human blood measurement guidelines for acute kidney injuries, the researchers ...
Is Enforcement of Hours of Driving Rules Harassment?
2011-12-20
Driver fatigue is a problem that affects a significant number of commercial truck drivers. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has tried to address this problem by requiring medical exams to identify drivers with sleep problems, such as sleep apnea, and by establishing hours-of-service rules to limit the number of consecutive hours a trucker can drive.
Unfortunately, when limits on work hours reduces profit, some drivers are motivated to falsify their logbooks and break the rules.
Last year, the FMCSA had issued a new rule that required repeat ...
In Wake of Gray Summit Collisions, NTSB Recommends Ban on Cell Phone Use While Driving
2011-12-20
On I-44 in August of 2010, a massive collision involving a tractor, a pickup truck and two school buses heading to Six Flags killed two people and injured 35 others. An investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board[1] concluded that the driver of the pickup truck had been texting at the time of the collision. His distraction, coupled with inattention on the part of the drivers of both school buses, were the primary causes of the fatal pileup.
On December 14, 2011, the NTSB issued a series of recommendations, including:
- All 50 states ban all "non-emergency ...
New York Lead Poisoning Lawsuits
2011-12-20
Lead was used in a wide range of consumer and commercial products over the last century. Unfortunately, lead is also a highly toxic metal that is known to cause serious health problems and even death. The most common source of lead poisoning today is lead-based paint. While lead paint has been removed from buildings in the past few decades, lead paint chips and lead dust are still a common sight in many apartment buildings. These problems are especially bad in low-rent buildings, most of which have not been rehabbed.
Children have the greatest risk of developing lead ...
Atlanta Tree Services Co. Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts Advises Preparing Trees for Upcoming Winter
2011-12-20
Atlanta tree services company Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts is reminding homeowners and property managers of the importance of properly preparing trees for winter. Although Atlanta winters are generally mild compared to many other regions of the country, freezing temperatures are not uncommon, especially at night, and winter can mean death for a tree that has not been sufficiently prepared.
Winter air is known to dry out the skin, and it can have a similar effect on trees as well. To ensure that trees have enough water, it is important to water them thoroughly through the ...

2011-12-20
From individual to collective failings are all due to our brains running on false emotional data generated by the selfish self-image. From wars to divorce, from Wall Street greed to the absence of pure happiness, from depression to corruption, from economic deficits to anger and all the other ills of society, the basic cause is our defective emotional intelligence.
Scientists are reluctant to take up emotional intelligence education as emotional intelligence is connected to the mind, brain and consciousness; topics that science has not been able to define and understand ...
