TULSA, OK, February 21, 2013 (Press-News.org) Alex Cord is a walking woman-magnet who sweeps women off their feet. And, according to his good friend, "he has left a string of broken hearts that could reach the moon." Even after being given that information, however, Jessica, a sheltered yet adventurous college freshman; Becky, the beautiful, career-minded woman who isn't afraid to take charge of her own destiny; and Constance, who has been an on-again, off-again relationship, each choose to fall under Alex's charms. But it is Dorothy, who despite their differences, captures Alex's heart and leaves it broken.
"I can make money, buy power; however, time is the intrinsic constant that cannot be subdued into submission before it slips away." With those words, Alex Cord informs his bodyguard/chauffeur, Samuel that he is to be a 49% partner in the oil company inherited from Alex's grandfather. That is only one of the many unexpected twists in this first novel, "Hearts Can Change in Time" from Ron Hanlon.
Set the 1960's in locations as diverse as Oklahoma, Texas, the Bahamas and St Thomas, including action in Viet Nam. "Hearts Can Change in Time" offers the reader a perspective into the life of an ambitious young man whose focus is to be the most successful oil mogul in the South using hydraulic fracturing a new procedure for the petroleum industry at that time. Having inherited a petroleum company based in Oklahoma, Alex Cord has the financial base to do pretty much whatever he chooses, and that includes bedding and leaving several women who give him their hearts.
"This story definitely holds your interest, and has all kinds of characters and a strange twist at the end. It's a good read," says one reviewer.
Raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Ron Hanlon learned about the petroleum business from his grandfather, and aviation with his father and brother. A long-term marriage taught him the difference between love and lovemaking. As a Viet Nam veteran, he saw death, felt fear and experienced heroism first hand. Hanlon calls upon life experience and hobbies of flying, sailing and ocean cruising to develop the atmosphere encountered in the story of Alex Cord in "Hearts Can Change in Time".
"Hearts Can Change in Time" is available from Amazon.com

Nation could double energy productivity
2013-02-20
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have long understood that using energy more efficiently can be just as beneficial as finding new ways to produce energy more efficiently.
On Feb. 7, NREL Director Dan Arvizu and a blue-ribbon panel of 20 energy experts drove that message home, declaring that the United States can double its energy productivity by 2030 — and do so in ways that bolster the nation's economy.
Unveiling their recommendations at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., Arvizu and other members ...
NREL and partners demonstrate quantum dots that assemble themselves
2013-02-20
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory and other labs have demonstrated a process whereby quantum dots can self-assemble at optimal locations in nanowires, a breakthrough that could improve solar cells, quantum computing, and lighting devices.
A paper on the new technology, "Self-assembled Quantum Dots in a Nanowire System for Quantum Photonics," appears in the current issue of the scientific journal Nature Materials.
Quantum dots are tiny crystals of semiconductor a few billionths of a meter in diameter. At that size they ...
Computer modeling reveals how surprisingly potent hepatitis C drug works
2013-02-20
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Feb. 19, 2013—A study by researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory and a multinational team reveals how daclatasvir, a direct-acting antiviral agent in development for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV), targets one of its proteins and causes the fastest viral decline ever seen with anti-HCV drugs – within 12 hours of treatment.
Chronic infection with hepatitis C virus affects about 150 million people worldwide. It is the leading cause of cirrhosis, liver cancer and liver transplants and results in some 350,000 deaths worldwide every year.

UCLA scientists develop new therapeutics that could accelerate wound healing
2013-02-20
In "before" and "after" photos from advertisements for wound-healing ointments, bandages and antibiotic creams, we see an injury transformed from an inflamed red gash to smooth and flawless skin.
What we don't appreciate is the vital role that our own natural biomolecules play in the healing process, including their contribution to the growth of new cells and the development of new blood vessels that provide nutrients to those cells.
Now, UCLA researchers led by Heather Maynard, a professor of chemistry and biochemistry and a member of UCLA's California NanoSystems ...
UCLA researchers develop new technique to scale up production of graphene micro-supercapacitors
2013-02-20
While the demand for ever-smaller electronic devices has spurred the miniaturization of a variety of technologies, one area has lagged behind in this downsizing revolution: energy-storage units, such as batteries and capacitors.
Now, Richard Kaner, a member of the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA and a professor of chemistry and biochemistry, and Maher El-Kady, a graduate student in Kaner's laboratory, may have changed the game.
The UCLA researchers have developed a groundbreaking technique that uses a DVD burner to fabricate micro-scale graphene-based supercapacitors ...
Sweeping the dust from a cosmic lobster
2013-02-20
Located around 8000 light-years away in the constellation of Scorpius (The Scorpion), NGC 6357 -- sometimes nicknamed the Lobster Nebula [1] due to its appearance in visible-light images -- is a region filled with vast clouds of gas and tendrils of dark dust. These clouds are forming stars, including massive hot stars which glow a brilliant blue-white in visible light.
This image uses infrared data from ESO's Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) at the Paranal Observatory in Chile. It is just a small part of a huge survey called VISTA Variables ...
Human cognition depends upon slow-firing neurons
2013-02-20
Good mental health and clear thinking depend upon our ability to store and manipulate thoughts on a sort of "mental sketch pad." In a new study, Yale School of Medicine researchers describe the molecular basis of this ability — the hallmark of human cognition — and describe how a breakdown of the system contributes to diseases such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease.
"Insults to these highly evolved cortical circuits impair the ability to create and maintain our mental representations of the world, which is the basis of higher cognition," said Amy Arnsten, professor ...
'Inspiring' teens with 'research virus': Expert-mentored bioscience contest proves a powerful vector

Testimonials and responses to a survey from 375 past teen participants in a Canadian biotechnology competition -- mentored in professional labs by expert scientists -- show a majority of respondents were influenced by the experience to pursue science research studies and careers, offering a model for countries worldwide to advance their health and economic interests.
In a survey of 375 past participants by Bioscience Education Canada, which runs the "Sanofi BioGENEius Challenge Canada," 84% said their participation helped determine their field of study or career plan; ...
Fragile X makes brain cells talk too much
2013-02-20
The most common inherited form of mental retardation and autism, fragile X syndrome, turns some brain cells into chatterboxes, scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis report.
The extra talk may make it harder for brain cells to identify and attend to important signals, potentially establishing an intriguing parallel at the cellular level to the attention problems seen in autism.
According to the researchers, understanding the effects of this altered signaling will be important to developing successful treatments for fragile X and autism.
"We ...
