This press release is available in Spanish. Cornstalks, wheat straw, and other rough, fibrous, harvest-time leftovers may soon be less expensive to convert into cellulosic ethanol, thanks to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists' studies of a promising new biorefinery yeast. The yeast-Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain NRRL Y-50049-successfully ferments plant sugars into cellulosic ethanol despite the stressful interference by problematic compounds such as furfural (2-furaldehyde) and HMF (5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde) in fermenters, according to molecular biologist ...

Anyone who has walked past the President's residence at the Palais de l'Elysee in Paris will have noted the guards standing stock still outside the gates, rifle in hand. They may also have witnessed the changing of the guard ritual, involving much saluting and marching. These guards are responsible for looking after many of the most important Paris buildings, including the Senate and the home of the Prime Minister. If you thought those guards would probably be a bit scary to meet in real life, then the Open Weekend at the Garde Republicaine should go some way towards ...

Why different species have dissimilar sets of chromosomes? Why the differentiated species often conserve apparently identical chromosome complements? Furthermore, why, while chromosome rearrangements can considerably change the course of species evolution, certain variation among individuals and populations of some species persists indefinitely? Such questions motivate researchers to compare chromosomes in closely related species. To understand the nature of chromosome changes in the voles Microtus savii, researchers from the Rome State University "Sapienza" launched ...

This press release is available in French. MONTREAL, August 25th, 2011 - The brains of older people are not slower but rather wiser than young brains, which allows older adults to achieve an equivalent level of performance, according research undertaken at the University Geriatrics Institute of Montreal by Dr. Oury Monchi and Dr. Ruben Martins of the Univeristy of Montreal. "The older brain has experience and knows that nothing is gained by jumping the gun. It was already known that aging is not necessarily associated with a significant loss in cognitive function.

"There seems to be a connection between heart rate and blood pressure, and chronic nausea," said John Fortunato, M.D., assistant professor ...

In 2008, the actress Dame Judi Dench was awarded the Freedom of the City of London. She said afterwards that she was looking forward "to being able to drive my sheep over London Bridge, and occasionally wearing a sword in public." She was referring to the quirky rights that in times gone by are reported to have been bestowed on those who were granted the freedom of London. As well as sheep and swords, recipients also had the right to a 'silken rope' in the event that they were to be hanged, and could also expect favourable treatment from police if they were ...

Indeed, the number of visits to healthcare professionals is up to 26 per cent for workers in high stress jobs. "These results show that people in medium-to-high stress jobs visit family doctors and specialists more often than workers with low job stress," ...

butanol directly from cellulose, an organic compound. "Cellulose is found in all green plants, and is the most abundant organic ...
