Carrying two genes linked to epilepsy may actually make you less likely to have a seizure, say US researchers. People who have more than one gene defect might be expected to be more prone to illness - but experts found the reverse.
1. Advancing discovery tools underpin innovation: Beyond biochips and brain imaging, recent advances in neuroinformatics, image-based neural circuit analysis, and neural computation are accelerating the pace of neuroscientific discovery beyond what was imagined a decade ago. 2. Neuroimmunology leading to new treatment targets: The discovery that immune molecules play a crucial role in shaping neuronal connections opens up new treatment targets for Alzheimer’s, autism, ALS, Parkinson’s, schizophrenia, and nerve injury.
Almost certainly the first sign of infection will come from the Hierakonpolis team. I would surmise that the most likely hosts will be physical anthropologists working in the lab environment due to their continued exposure to human remains and that good old fashioned "mummy dust" we are all familiar with. The unfortunate side effect of the infection starting within this specialized group of researchers is that they are generally the least squeamish about decapitation duty. I know for a fact that Sean Dougherty, a physical anthropologist with extensive experience at the site, wouldn't hesitate to lop off the head of any member of the team at any time, and for any reason. As morbid and disturbing as it sounds, guys like Sean can be a real asset in this type of situation.
Launch Google Earth (download it first if you don't already have it) from the MDG Monitor Web site and you'll be able to click on capital cities all around the world to monitor their corresponding countries' progress toward achieving the MDGs
The cementer bug feeds on urea and deposits calcite, which cements the soil together and turns shifting sand into sandstone.
"It's known, from human studies, that corticosteroids are not good for you cognitively," said study co-author S. Paul Berger, M.D., assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral neuroscience, OHSU School of Medicine and the PVAMC. "We think prazosin protects the brain from being damaged by excessive levels of corticosteroid stress hormones."
I Ryssland så har alla partier som blivit registrerade för att delta i parlamentsvalet (11 stycken denna gång) rätt till ett visst antal minuter av teves reklamtid. Här kan du se en av de reklamsnuttar som Jabloko tänker använda. Grigorij Javlinskijs tal är ganska intetsägande, men bilderna som susar förbi i bakgrunden säger mer.
Despite repeated requests by Pakistani archeologists to the local authorities to protect the seated Buddha and other sites, especially after the first attack, no action was taken. In fact, militants were able to carry out their work — drilling holes in the rock, filling them with explosives, and detonating them — in broad daylight.
Islam is not as evangelical as Christianity. Its followers are less intent on spreading the good news; much of their attention is focused on stiffening the resolve of communities that are already Muslim. But Islam is expansionist in some areas, including sub-Saharan Africa and the fringes of China. In Xinjiang province, the state government has got so worried about Muslim separatism that it has cracked down on Islam. China may yet end up being both the world's largest Christian country and its largest Muslim one.
When the typical children saw the experimenter reach for the apple, this muscle became more active but reaching for the paper triggered no such response. Even when the experimenter was just reaching for the apple, the children were already aware of his final goal and their mouth-opening muscle tensed in hungry anticipation. But this didn’t happen in the autistic children – their mylohyoid muscles didn’t tense in either the apple or the paper trial.
WLI contacts on-line companies with affinity and cross-sell agreements. Basically, no one in their right mind would sign up for this crap (My previous company sold similar enhancements. They had a 98% profit margin.) So in order to get sales, WLI has to make agreements with companies who sell stuff you actually want. They will cut a deal with the company—after you complete your transaction, link to our site for a cross-sell opportunity and we will split any sales with you 50-50. To the legimate company, this is a hell of a deal. Free money even. All you have to do is add some code pages to your web site and in return you get 50% of the till. A lot of profit for no effort.
Ett argument från Intelligent Design-förespråkare är att om man slår sönder en klocka så kan den inte sättas ihop igen med evolution. Men det kan den. om man ger delarna egenskaper som att de får affinitet för varandra och därmed mer liknar den biologi vi är byggda av. Se filmen:
Tips från Lennart Regebro som inte har bloggat om det i skrivande stund.
På Dagens Nyheters framsida kan man just nu (11:14) läsa följande text:
I själva artikeln är det rättat till:

Det är skillnad på den svenskspråkiga och engelska bloggosfären, En
etta på intressant.se kan ge så lite som 50 hits. En twingly-post kan ge uppemot
1000 vid bra förhållanden.
Mikael Ståldal har förutom sin svenska blogg en teknisk blogg på engelska med låg postningsfrekvens. Men hans senaste bloggpost där kom upp på reddit, och vips fick han 10 000 träffar. Reddit är ungefär som intressant.se fast på engelska. Det finns flera underkategorier, och det är inte bara bloggposter som det länkas till.
Ibland funderar jag på att skriva mer på engelska, och potentiellt nå en större publik.
Mickes bloggpost? Den handlade om *nix och varför portar från 1024 och nedåt ska vara reserverade för rot.
Kioskvältare :-)
Ledaren för partiets exekutiva kommitté Andrej Vorobjov säger att “[han] inte är så sugen på att svara på frågor och sedan ställa frågor. /…/ Det sättet att föra fram information är ett väldigt svårt sätt att kommunicera.” Andrej Vorobjov anser att Enade Ryssland har “gjort allt rätt”. Enligt hans mening “påminner debatter mycket om demagogi”.
They were able to manipulate a square with a hollow center that was 20 micrometers, or millionths of a meter, across - allowing them to demonstrate that even larger objects could be moved and rotated. Other test objects had dimensions of only a few nanometers, or billionths of a meter. Virtually all living cells come in sizes that fall within that nanometer-to-micrometers range and are thus subject to being manipulated by the system.
Let's use some common sense, here. Domesticated animals depend on humans to survive. They can't evade predators in the wild. But they aren't unhealthy by any measure, not compared to their wild counterparts. Depending on humans works. We depend on technology. It works. It has worked for two million years. It hasn't make us asymmetrical and stumpy.
All he does is put mice on a platform that buzzes at such a low frequency that some people cannot even feel it. The mice stand there for 15 minutes a day, five days a week. Afterward, they have 27 percent less fat than mice that did not stand on the platform — and correspondingly more bone.
