Four of the biologists who described the underlying causes of aging will soon share their findings with an international audience during a symposium at the upcoming World Congress of Gerontology and Geriatrics, taking place from July 5-9, 2009, in Paris, France.
MADISON, WI, JUNE 15, 2009 -- Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) losses from tile drains are an underquantified portion of the terrestrial carbon cycle. This is particularly important in the eastern corn belt where tile drainage dominates the agricultural landscape.

Without the process of domestication, humans would still be hunters and gatherers, and modern civilization would look very different. Fortunately, for all of us who do not relish the thought of spending our days searching for nuts and berries, early civilizations successfully cultivated many species of animals and plants found in their surroundings.

What if the future of greener, more sustainable energy solutions isn’t to be found in wind, solar, hydroelectric, and/or ethanol-based power, but instead lies in the efficient combustion of cellulosic biomass (e.g., wood chips, sawdust, switch grass, corn husks, pine needles, paper pulp, etc.) that can be used to create green electricity?
“Unlike oil and coal, power generated from biomass is cle

HOUSTON - Like a mechanic popping the hood of a car to get at a faulty engine, a tumor-suppressing protein allows cellular repair mechanisms to pounce on damaged DNA by overcoming a barrier to DNA access.
PROVIDENCE, RI -- A letter to the editor by Rhode Island Hospital infectious diseases specialist Leonard Mermel, DO, identifies characteristics of the outbreak of H1N1 in 1977 and speculates its impact on this pandemic. His letter is published in the June 20 edition of the journal the Lancet 2009 (vol 373 p2108-09).
ARGONNE, Ill. (June 18, 2009) -- Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago have reached a milestone in the study of emergent magnetism.
WASHINGTON -- (June 18, 2009) -- Leaders of three national organizations representing nearly a third of a million physicians today visited Capitol Hill offices to express their continued concern for America's patients who do not have access to primary care physicians.
The Interdisciplinary A building on the Arizona State University Tempe campus looks rather average from the outside. There isn't anything that hints at the excitement, talent and innovation hidden behind its nondescript doors, and there is certainly no indication that the first steps of a great journey are taking place inside.
A unique and innovative telemedicine project is providing distant nursing home patients with Parkinson's disease access to neurologists at the University of Rochester Medical Center.
The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory announces the establishment of the Pacific Northwest Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship Program.
The laboratory is accepting applications for the new fellowships and will review candidates immediately for fall 2009 appointments.
The U.S. Global Change Research Program released a long-awaited, comprehensive scientific assessment of climate change impacts in the United States. It presents the first region-by-region analysis of our vulnerability to climate change since 2001 and represents the best available climate science in the United States.
