WASHINGTON, DC, May 21, 2012 (Press-News.org) The Hadley Nursing Center at the Specialty Hospital Of Washington (SHW), joined forces with 4th and 5th grade students at Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School in the Healing Walls Student Art Exhibit.
The Healing Walls project was developed by Cheron McNear, Marketing Coordinator for Specialty Hospital of Washington, and is designed to provide the patients and residents in our facility with uplifting artwork that will inspire and assist them in their healing process. The students were led by their art teacher, Mr. Bryan, who directed the theme of the artwork around healing scenes in nature.
"I wanted the students to take away from this project that healing is not so much something that happens, but an understanding that health is connected with the physical, emotional and spiritual processes. I think the students did a marvelous job with this project and I am sure that the residents, staff and their families will appreciate this art wall," said Cheron McNear.
The student's artwork was unveiled at a special ceremony on Thursday, May 10, 2012 at Specialty Hospital of Washington-Hadley campus. Guest speaker was local artist Luis Peralta.

Production of chemicals without petroleum
2012-05-21
In our everyday life, we use gasoline, diesel, plastics, rubbers, and numerous chemicals that are derived from fossil oil through petrochemical refinery processes. However, this is not sustainable due to the limited nature of fossil resources. Furthermore, our world is facing problems associated with climate change and other environmental problems due to the increasing use of fossil resources. One solution to address above problems is the use of renewable non-food biomass for the production of chemicals, fuels and materials through biorefineries. Microorganisms are used ...
UGA study finds that education plays mitigating role in escaping roots of adversity
2012-05-21
Athens, Ga. – Decades of research show people born into poverty are likely to continue to live that way as adults. But one University of Georgia researcher has found a way out—education.
Children reared in disadvantaged communities and poor families earn less money and experience more health problems as adults than do children raised without adversity, according to Kandauda Wickrama, a professor of human development and life science in the UGA College of Family and Consumer Sciences.
"Early adverse life experiences, such as community or family poverty, have a detrimental ...
A North American first at the Montreal Heart Institute
2012-05-21
Montreal, May 18, 2012 – The surgical team at the Montreal Heart Institute (MHI) achieved a North American surgical milestone on May 1st with a sutureless aortic valve replacement through a thoracic incision just five centimetres long. The two patients in their seventies who underwent this innovative procedure, which was performed by cardiac surgeons Denis Bouchard and Michel Carrier, were doing well only one week after their operations.
A novel combination
"This innovative combination of implanting a Perceval™ S valve through a minimally invasive thoracotomy signals ...
Finding fingerprints in sea level rise
2012-05-21
It was used to help Apollo astronauts navigate in space, and has since been applied to problems as diverse as economics and weather forecasting, but Harvard scientists are now using a powerful statistical tool to not only track sea level rise over time, but to determine where the water causing the rise is coming from.
As described in an April 23 paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), graduate students Eric Morrow and Carling Hay demonstrate the use of a statistical tool called a Kalman smoother to identify "sea level fingerprints" – tell-tale ...
Return of the vacuum tube
2012-05-21
Vacuum tubes have been retro for decades. They almost completely disappeared from the electronics scene when consumers exchanged their old cathode ray tube monitors for flat screen TVs. Their replacement – the semiconductor – is generally the cheaper, lighter, more efficient, and easier to manufacture of the two technologies. But vacuum tubes are more robust in high-radiation environments such as outer space. And since electrons travel faster in a vacuum than through a semiconductor, vacuum tubes are an intrinsically better medium for electricity.

Quantum computing: The light at the end of the tunnel may be a single photon
2012-05-21
Quantum physics promises faster and more powerful computers, but quantum versions of basic logic functions are still needed to bring this technology to fruition. Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Toshiba Research Europe Ltd. have taken one step toward this goal by creating an all-semiconductor quantum logic gate, a controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate. They achieved this breakthrough by coaxing nanodots to emit single photons of light on demand.
"The ability to produce a photon in a very precise state is of central importance," said Matthew Pooley of Cambridge ...

Engineers use droplet microfluidics to create glucose-sensing microbeads
2012-05-21
Cell cultures need glucose for energy, but too much sugar can create a diabetic-like environment in which cell proteins undergo unwanted structural changes. Standard methods to monitor glucose levels require invasive and time-consuming handling of the cell culture. A team of engineers at the National University of Singapore and Singapore's Institute of Microelectronics is developing an alternative approach that takes advantage of new microfluidic techniques. In a continuous and controlled process, the researchers created small droplets of polymer that encapsulated pairs ...
Comprehensive report documents impact of urologic diseases on American public
2012-05-21
Urologic conditions like urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and prostate cancer are a major economic burden on Americans, resulting in health care costs of close to $40 billion annually, according to a newly released national report that charts the demographic and economic impact of urologic diseases in the U.S.
Urologic Diseases in America (UDA), last published in 2007, has been revised and updated for 2012 and includes a wealth of new, detailed information on the utilization of resources and the costs associated with urologic diseases among men, women and children. ...
