2010-10-09
The recent cold weather has prompted some to turn on their furnace and boilers only to find them needing repairs, according to the CEO of a local environmental abatement company, Abatepro, Inc.
Nicholas Feco has been performing asbestos inspections since 2004 and has seen a steady influx of HVAC systems needing repairs as fall weather approaches.
"When it gets cold, equipment will fail," says Mr. Feco, "and the reputable HVAC guys won't touch asbestos pipes, boilers or duct wrap."

Mount Etna's mystery explained?
2010-10-08
Internationally renowned geophysicist Dr Wouter Schellart has developed the first dynamic model to explain the mystery of the largest and most fascinating volcano in Europe, Mount Etna.
Dr Schellart's results from fluid dynamic models provide an alternative explanation for the existence of Mount Etna, its geological environment and evolution, as well as volcanism in the surrounding region.
His theory suggests that Mount Etna is not directly the result of tectonic plate boundary activity, but that it resulted from decompression melting of upper mantle material flowing ...
Gut microbes promote cell turnover by a well-known pathway
2010-10-08
Microbes matter -- perhaps more than anyone realizes -- in basic biological development and, maybe, they could be a target for reducing cancer risks, according to University of Oregon researchers.
In a study of very basic biology of zebrafish, scientists in the UO Institute of Molecular Biology focused on the developing intestine during its early formation in the sterile environment of its eggshell through the exposure to natural colonizing bacteria after hatching.
What they found was eye opening, said Karen Guillemin, professor of biology: Resident microbes in the ...
Scientists give extinct passenger pigeon a place on the family tree
2010-10-08
With bits of DNA extracted from century-old museum specimens, researchers have found a place for the extinct Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) in the family tree of pigeons and doves, identifying this unique bird's closest living avian relatives for the first time. The new analysis, which appears this month in Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, reveals that the Passenger Pigeon was most closely related to other North and South American pigeons, and not to the Mourning Dove, as was previously suspected.
"This research demonstrates the remarkable potential of ...
Doctors evaluating heart problems should consider checking fat deposits around the heart
2010-10-08
LOS ANGELES (Oct. 6, 2010) – Cardiac imaging researchers at Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute are recommending that physicians not overlook fatty deposits around the heart when evaluating patients for risk of major heart problems.
Although abdominal fat is often considered in making these assessments, recent research suggests that measuring fatty tissue around the heart is an even better predictor, and noninvasive CT scanning may provide this important information.
The recommendation appeared in an editorial comment published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: ...
