In metallic glasses, researchers find a few new atomic structures

2012-05-12

MADISON – Drawing on powerful computational tools and a state-of-the-art scanning transmission electron microscope, a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison and Iowa State University materials science and engineering researchers has discovered a new nanometer-scale atomic structure in solid metallic materials known as metallic glasses. Published May 11 in the journal Physical Review Letters, the findings fill a gap in researchers' understanding of this atomic structure. This understanding ultimately could help manufacturers fine-tune such properties of metallic glasses ...

Pool Safety and Drowning: It Could Be Your Child

2012-05-12

With spring and summer comes the renewed enjoyment of swimming. Few activities are more attractive to children than swimming and swimming pools. However, parents can never really relax when children are in the water, especially those with young children. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) state that, "drowning is the leading cause of injury death for young children ages 1 to 4, and three children die every day as a result of drowning." Simply because your children are no longer toddlers does not mean they are without risk, drowning remains ...

Social Dating Sites and Prohibitions on Sex Offenders

2012-05-12

Back in the day, couples would meet at family gatherings, parties, bars or church outings. Today, in an age of electronic connectivity, old-fashioned courtship can seem quaint. Like so much else, dating has gone digital, and more and more people are turning to online dating sites to find love -- often successfully. Of course, the Web contains dangers as well as opportunities. Internet crimes are not an urban myth. But excessive concern about so-called predators should not lead to excessive infringement of the right to free speech and association, either. In one recent ...

Study shows benefit of new maintenance therapy for multiple myeloma

2012-05-12

Multiple myeloma is a form of cancer where the plasma cells in the bone marrow grow out of control, causing damage to bones as well as predisposing patients to anemia, infection and kidney failure. A medical procedure called autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, commonly known as a stem cell transplant, is frequently an important treatment option for many patients. Unfortunately, multiple myeloma continues to progress even after a transplant. A study published today in the New England Journal of Medicine offers promising news about a new long-term therapy, ...

Rise In Traumatic Brain Injuries Among Teens

2012-05-12

The media have drawn attention to the problem of brain injuries in teens by focusing on the increased likelihood of receiving such injuries from participation in contact sports like football and hockey. After all, males between the ages of 14 and 24 are at the highest risk of sustaining a brain injury. Team sports are not the cause of the majority of those injuries, though; teenagers are far more likely to suffer a traumatic brain injury during a motor vehicle collision than a football game. According to information provided by The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, ...

Molecular subtypes and genetic alterations may determine response to lung cancer therapy

2012-05-12

Cancer therapies targeting specific molecular subtypes of the disease allow physicians to tailor treatment to a patient's individual molecular profile. But scientists are finding that in many types of cancer the molecular subtypes are more varied than previously thought and contain further genetic alterations that can affect a patient's response to therapy. A UNC-led team of scientists has shown for the first time that lung cancer molecular subtypes correlate with distinct genetic alterations and with patient response to therapy. These findings in pre-clinical models ...

Undocumented Latino youth turn to activism to combat obstacles

2012-05-12

Irvine, Calif., May 11, 2012 – Undocumented Latino youth in the U.S. face futures clouded by fewer rights than their documented peers and the constant fear of deportation. Such status constraints usually aren't fully understood until young adulthood, said UC Irvine anthropologist Leo Chavez, and the awareness often serves as a catalyst for political and civic involvement. "Rites of passage common to American youth – getting a driver's license, traveling, working and applying to college – are either denied, unattainable or dangerous to pursue for undocumented immigrants," ...

Disabling Back Pain: Options When Desk Jobs Are Out

2012-05-12

Sometimes the most difficult tasks for workers do not involve high-impact activities like handling equipment or moving loads. In America's information-based, desk-dependent economy, many workers have difficulty enduring the work day due to chronic back pain or repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome. The aches and sharp pains that accompany certain medical problems involving the spine, shoulders and wrists can make a day spent at the keyboard in an office chair a difficult test of endurance. This pain takes a terrible toll on productivity for afflicted ...

Scientists find differences in naked mole rat's protein disposers

2012-05-12

SAN ANTONIO (May 11, 2012) — The naked mole rat, a curiously strange, hairless rodent, lives many years longer than any other mouse or rat. Scientists at The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio's Barshop Institute of Longevity and Aging Studies continue to explore this mystery. On May 2 a Barshop Institute team reported that the naked mole rat's cellular machines for protein disposal — called proteasome assemblies — differ in composition from those of other short-lived rodents. The study is in the journal PLoS ONE. This is the first report of the molecular ...

'Gate Jumping' a Leading Cause of California Transit Accidents

2012-05-12

Nearly every driver knows the sinking feeling that comes after seeing the railroad crossing arms drop just as you are about to cross over a set of train tracks. Depending on where you are, you could end up waiting for a very long time. The situation can be ever more frustrating when you look down the tracks and see that the train is still blocks away. In this situation, some people are tempted to try and drive around the crossing arm to cross the tracks before the train arrives. This is always a bad idea. Authorities say that this behavior -- called "gate jumping" ...
