Turkey: Province of Prominence
2012-07-21
In these hard economic times, every property market is suffering, more so the ones within the European Union Zone. Disregarding Germany's genius economy for a moment, it seems every economy within Europe is suffering terribly, the property markets faulting along with them. Property prices have continued to increase rapidly to a level where regular members of society are unable to afford a single house, let alone a second apartment or a summer villa on the shores of an internationally stable, migratable and even visitable country.
Turkey, however, doesn't hold to the ...
Relationship Management is Key to Managing Tire Supply Most Effectively
2012-07-21
Buffeted by rising tire prices caused by global environmental forces and the resulting product shortages, fleet owners and executives should take control of the situation by implementing an effective relationship management plan with multiple tire suppliers. David Nitzsche, Vice President, Supply Management, for AmeriQuest Transportation Services, said in a blog posting that taking a proactive approach to this "new normal" is the best way for fleets to improve the bottom line and keep trucks rolling.

Study points to causes of high dolphin deaths in Gulf of Mexico
2012-07-20
The largest oil spill on open water to date and other environmental factors led to the historically high number of dolphin deaths in the Gulf of Mexico, concludes a two-year scientific study released today.
A team of biologists from several Gulf of Mexico institutions and the University of Central Florida in Orlando published their findings in the journal PLoS ONE.
For the past two years, scientists have been trying to figure out why there were a high number of dolphin deaths, part of what's called an "unusual mortality event" along the northern Gulf of Mexico.
Most ...
What would Batman eat?
2012-07-20
Popeye inspired a generation of growing Baby Boomers to eat its spinach. Today, role models such as Batman can prompt children to develop their own healthy eating habits, a recent Cornell University study finds.
"Fast food patronage is a frequent reality for many children and their parents. Simply instructing a parent to order healthier food for a child is neither empowering for a child nor easy for a parent," said Brian Wansink, Cornell professor of marketing, director of the Cornell Food and Brand Lab and study co-author. "Advising parents to ask their child, 'What would ...
Could volcanic eruptions in the south-west Pacific save the Great Barrier Reef?
2012-07-20
Could volcanic eruptions in the south-west Pacific save the Great Barrier Reef?
Could the pumice that surges into the ocean once a volcano erupts in Tonga or elsewhere in the south-west Pacific save the Great Barrier Reef?
World-first research conducted by Queensland University of Technology geologist Dr Scott Bryan indicates that yes, this is not only possible, but could be how the Great Barrier Reef formed in the first place.
Dr Bryan and colleagues studied the westward flow or rafting of pumice after volcanic eruptions in Tonga in 2001 and 2006.
Pumice forms when ...
PSU study finds 'caffeinated' coastal waters
2012-07-20
A new study finds elevated levels of caffeine at several sites in Pacific Ocean waters off the coast of Oregon—though not necessarily where researchers expected.
This study is the first to look at caffeine pollution off the Oregon coast. It was developed and conducted by Portland State University master's student Zoe Rodriguez del Rey and her faculty adviser Elise Granek, assistant professor of Environmental Science and Management, in collaboration with Steve Sylvester of Washington State University, Vancouver.
In spring 2010, Rodriguez del Rey and Granek collected ...
What we know and don't know about Earth's missing biodiversity
2012-07-20
Most of the world's species are still unknown to science although many researchers grappled to address the question of how many species there are on Earth over the recent decades. Estimates of non-microbial diversity on Earth provided by researchers range from 2 million to over 50 million species, with great uncertainties in numbers of insects, fungi, nematodes, and deep-sea organisms.
Some groups of species, such as plants and birds, are well-known, with scientists discovering relatively few new ones each year. For insects and fungi, however, it is almost impossible ...
Scientists take unprecedented snapshot of single sperm cell's genome
2012-07-20
Every sperm cell looks essentially the same, with that characteristic tadpole appearance. But inside, sperm cells carry differences within their genes—even cells from the same man. Now, researchers provide a detailed picture of how the cell's DNA varies in a new study published in the July 20, 2012 issue of the Cell Press journal Cell. The techniques used could be helpful for understanding male reproductive disorders or, when applied to other areas of research, for characterizing normal and diseased cells in the body.

Like a transformer? Protein unfolds and refolds for new function
2012-07-20
COLUMBUS, Ohio – New research has shown that a protein does something that scientists once thought impossible: It unfolds itself and refolds into a completely new shape.
This protein, called RfaH, activates genes that allow bacterial cells to launch a successful attack on their host, causing disease. The researchers determined that RfaH starts out in its alpha form, composed of two spiral shapes. Later, in its beta form, it resembles spokes on a wheel and is called a barrel.
When RfaH refolds, it acquires a new function – yet another finding that researchers would ...
