2013-02-01
Basement waterproofing contractor, Ameri-Dry, is living up to its brand, proving that it is, indeed, a basement waterproofing hero. The company recently came to a Baltimore, MD area homeowner's rescue when a competing waterproofing company installed a faulty system that led to an almost immediate failure and water leakage in the homeowner's basement.
The company known for its icon, Ameri-Dry Guy, was contacted to assess the damage and remedy the original problem that prompted the homeowner to seek a waterproofing contractor. In the course of the assessment process, ...

Space Station to Scan the Globe for Weather Data with ISS-RapidScat
2013-02-01
Regular measurements of wind speed and direction at the ocean surface alert forecasters to threatening tropical storm conditions, while informing scientists of interactions between the atmosphere and sea currents that influence environmental conditions across the globe.
The observations are most effectively gathered from Earth orbit.
The U.S. lost that capability suddenly in late 2009, when the SeaWinds scatterometer aboard NASA's then 10-year-old QuikScat satellite experienced an age-related antenna failure.
While NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric ...

'Petri dish lens' gives hope for new eye treatments
2013-01-31
A cure for congenital sight impairment caused by lens damage is closer following research by scientists at Monash University.
Associate Professor Tiziano Barberi and Dr Isabella Mengarelli from the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute at Monash University are closer to growing parts of the human eye in the lab. They have, for the first time, derived and purified lens epithelium - the embryonic tissue from which the lens of the eye develops. The purity of the cells paves the way for future applications in regenerative medicine.
Further, the researchers caused these ...
Aztec conquest altered genetics among early Mexico inhabitants, new DNA study shows
2013-01-31
AUSTIN, Texas — For centuries, the fate of the original Otomí inhabitants of Xaltocan, the capital of a pre-Aztec Mexican city-state, has remained unknown. Researchers have long wondered whether they assimilated with the Aztecs or abandoned the town altogether.
According to new anthropological research from The University of Texas at Austin, Wichita State University and Washington State University, the answers may lie in DNA. Following this line of evidence, the researchers theorize that some original Otomies, possibly elite rulers, may have fled the town. Their exodus ...
Disease not a factor in Tassie Tiger extinction
2013-01-31
Humans alone were responsible for the demise of Australia's iconic extinct native predator, the Tasmanian Tiger or thylacine, a new study led by the University of Adelaide has concluded.
Using a new population modelling approach, the study contradicts the widespread belief that disease must have been a factor in the thylacine's extinction.
The thylacine was a unique marsupial carnivore found throughout most of Tasmania before European settlement in 1803. Between 1886 and 1909, the Tasmanian government encouraged people to hunt thylacines and paid bounties on over 2000 ...
Stanford experiment shows that virtual superpowers encourage real-world empathy
2013-01-31
If you give people superpowers, will they use those abilities for good?
Researchers at Stanford recently investigated the subject by giving people the ability of Superman-like flight in the university's Virtual Human Interaction Laboratory (VHIL). While several studies have shown that playing violent videogames can encourage aggressive behavior, the new research suggests that games could be designed to train people to be more empathetic in the real world.
To test this hypothesis, the group – which included Jeremy Bailenson, an associate professor of communication; Robin ...
Hit by 2 hammers
2013-01-31
KANSAS CITY, MO—Mutations in single genes can cause catastrophic diseases, such as Huntington's Disease or sickle cell anemia. However, many conditions, including cancer, diabetes and birth defects are multigenic, arising from the collective failure of the function of more than one gene.
Researchers know that mutations in at least twelve individual genes are associated with the congenital defect Hirschprung Disease (HSCR), in which children are born lacking nerves that innervate the large intestine. Now two companion studies published in Human Molecular Genetics by Paul ...
Study rebuts hypothesis that comet attacks ended 9,000-year-old Clovis culture
2013-01-31
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Rebutting a speculative hypothesis that comet explosions changed Earth's climate sufficiently to end the Clovis culture in North America about 13,000 years ago, Sandia lead author Mark Boslough and researchers from 14 academic institutions assert that other explanations must be found for the apparent disappearance.
"There's no plausible mechanism to get airbursts over an entire continent," said Boslough, a physicist. "For this and other reasons, we conclude that the impact hypothesis is, unfortunately, bogus."
In a December 2012 American Geophysical ...
