Discovery could lead to better control of hemorrhagic fever viruses
02-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers report discovering the receptor through which a group of life-threatening hemorrhagic fever viruses enter and attack the body's cells, and show that infection can be inhibited by blocking this receptor. The findings, to be published online by the journal Nature on Feb. 7, give a clue to the high lethality of New World arenaviruses, suggest a way of reducing the severity of infection, and point the way toward a sorely needed treatment strategy.

Antarctic temperatures disagree with climate model predictions
02-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new report on climate over the world's southernmost continent shows that temperatures during the late 20th century did not climb as had been predicted by many global climate models. This comes soon after the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that strongly supports the conclusion that the Earth's climate as a whole is warming, largely due to human activity. It follows a finding last summer by the same researchers showing no increase in Antarctic precipitation in 50 years.

Silver-bearing ore found at the settlement founded by Christopher Columbus's second expedition was not mined in the Americas. Instead, the expedition members brought the ore with them to use in assaying the precious-metal-bearing ores they hoped to find.
