- Natural anti-freeze -- how arthropods survive the cold
04-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Given the choice, many of us would opt for warmer climes during the bleak midwinter. However, most of us cannot afford to move abroad for a few months, so instead we pile on extra layers of clothing to keep warm. Arthropods face much the same dilemma, as they cannot migrate long distances to avoid low winter temperatures -- so why are they not killed off by the cold?

- Obesity-linked high blood volumes render PSA prostate cancer test less effective, study suggests
11-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
The extra blood volume produced in the obese may so dilute levels of a telltale protein produced by prostates that the popular PSA test may be essentially useless for diagnosing prostate cancer in men carrying extra pounds, a new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests.

- China's new high-yielding, disease-resistant wheat boosting domestic production as world prices soar
12-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
An intensive domestic research effort to bolster China's wheat production has over the last four years produced new high-quality, high-yielding varieties that already have added 2.4 million tons to Chinese harvests and generated an extra US$411 million in farm income. The new varieties also offer natural resistance to a new strain of wheat stem rust now emerging as a threat to global food security, according to a new assessment from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

- Biakker can say a lot in just a few words
10-17-2006 · EurekAlert!
"On the other side of the river close to us away from here going backwards." This intriguing answer from an East Indonesian to the question where the houses in his village used to stand, made the Dutch linguist Wilco van den Heuvel devote extra attention to references to people and objects in his description of the Biak language. This Austronesian language is threatened with extinction.

- A Plan For Reintroducing Megafauna To North America
10-02-2006 · ScienceDaily
Dozens of megafauna (large animals over 100 pounds) -- such as giant tortoises, horses, elephants and cheetah -- went extinct in North America 13,000 years ago during the end of the Pleistocene. As is the case today in Africa and Asia, these megafauna likely played keystone ecological roles via predation, herbivory and other processes. What are the consequences of losing such important components of America's natural heritage?

- 'Hot' oxygen atoms on titanium dioxide motivated by more than just temperature
02-08-2008 · EurekAlert!
Catalysts typically break down an oxygen molecule into two identical atoms that behave the same. But on a titanium oxide catalyst, the two atoms of a split oxygen molecule act differently: one fills a vacant spot on the catalytic surface and the other acquires extra energy and can move away. If the finding turns out to be important to reactivity, it might also be useful in hydrogen production or to break down pollutants.

- No breakfast and frequent fast food leads to extra pounds in aging teens
01-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
The phrase "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" has taken on new meaning for teenagers. A new study suggests that as teens enter adulthood, they are more likely to skip breakfast and increase their fast food consumption, and that both behaviors lead to an increased risk of weight gain. Researchers at the Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center at the Miriam Hospital and Brown Medical School conducted the study.

- Nanotube, heal thyself
02-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
Pound for pound, carbon nanotubes are stronger and lighter than steel, but unlike other materials, the miniscule carbon cylinders remain remarkably robust even when chunks of their bodies are blasted away with heat or radiation. A Rice University study in the Feb. 16 issue of Physical Review Letters offers the first explanation: tiny blemishes crawl over the skin of the damaged nanotubes, sewing up larger holes as they go.

- Draining away brain's toxic protein to stop Alzheimer's
08-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists have shown how the body's natural way of ridding the body of the toxic protein amyloid-beta is flawed in people with the disease. Then the team demonstrated an experimental method in mice to fix the process, dramatically reducing the levels of the toxic protein in the brain and halting symptoms.
