Argonne National Laboratory plays key role in new climate simulations

The Model Coupling Toolkit created by the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory played a key role in the climate simulations used in preparing the new U.N. report "Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis." The report, a summary of which was issued February 2nd, issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, presents a comprehensive assessment of the world's knowledge about climate change and its potential impacts on society.

1. Confirmed -- Deforestation plays critical climate change role
   05-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
   New research confirms that avoiding deforestation can play a key role in reducing future greenhouse gas concentrations. Dr Pep Canadell, from the Global Carbon Project and CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, says today in the journal Science that tropical deforestation releases 1.5 billion tonnes of carbon each year into the atmosphere.

2. 'Might have been' key in evaluating behavior
   05-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
   "What might have been" or fictive learning affects the brain and plays an important role in the choices individuals make -- and may play a role in addiction, said Baylor College of Medicine researchers and others in a report that appears online today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

3. Argonne's nuclear energy research moves toward greater reliance on computer simulation
   11-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
   The US Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory is taking its nuclear energy research into new territory -- virtual territory that is. With the recent arrival of the new IBM Blue Gene/P and the lab's development of advanced computer models, Argonne has a critical role in making it possible to burn repeatedly nuclear fuel that now sits as waste, thus closing the nuclear fuel cycle and reducing the risk of nuclear proliferation.

   Scientists at the US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory provide further evidence that a drug known as D-cycloserine could play a role in helping to extinguish the craving behaviors associated with drug addiction. Their study found that mice treated with D-cycloserine were less likely to spend time in an environment where they had previously been trained to expect cocaine than mice treated with a placebo.

8. Hepatitis C helicase unwinds DNA in a spring-loaded, 3-step process
   07-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
   The process by which genes are duplicated is mysterious and complex, involving a cast of characters with diverse talents and the ability to play well with others in extremely close quarters. A key player on this stage is an enzyme called a helicase. Its job is to unwind DNA or RNA so that another enzyme, a polymerase, can faithfully copy each nucleotide in the genetic code.A study to appear in Science sheds new light on how the hepatitis C helicase plays this role.
