Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have developed a new laboratory test that can rapidly identify the bacterium responsible for staph infections. This new test takes advantage of unique isotopic labeling combined with...
I have somewhere between 150-200 DVDs and Blu-Rays. I'm looking for the most space and cost effective way to store them. Right now they're on a storage shelf under the TV but they're two deep and I'd like to be able to see them all at once. I also have very little floor space in the room they...
The most abundant and important molecules in all living organisms are proteins; after all they manage to participate in every single one of life's essential reactions. So it is easy to see why scientists have been making such a fuss trying to learn how to synthesise them in laboratory as this...
I purchased the original disk when the hard drive failed a few years back. I was able to reload the software then. Everything I can find says to use the alt f10 method which does not work now.
In 2009, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommended that Hemoglobin A1c be exclusively used for the diagnosis of diabetes in children. The simple test measures longer-term blood sugar levels -- without requiring patients to fast overnight. However, a new U-M study has shown that these...
In principle, stem cells offer scientists the opportunity to create specific cell types - such as nerve or heart cells - to replace tissues damaged by age or disease. In reality, coaxing stem cells to become the desired cell type can be challenging, to say the least...

Some people say H.H.O converters work. Some companies sell oils or part that claim to improve mileage. Does anyone know with 100% certainty of a way to increase a diesel trucks mileage (more specifically an H2 Hummer. being able to double or even triple gas mileage in a truck would be incredible.
The prospect of doing human clinical trials with stem cells to treat diseases like multiple sclerosis may be growing closer, say scientists at the University at Buffalo and the University at Rochester, who have developed a more precise way to isolate stem cells that will make myelin. Myelin is...
A simple-to-use, fertility-awareness based method of family planning developed by researchers from the Institute for Reproductive Health at Georgetown University Medical Center so effectively meets the needs of users that they continue to rely on it for years. A new study finds that women who...
A new method of single molecule DNA sequencing is being developed by scientists at the University of Southampton with funding from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council's Strategic Tools and Resources Development Fund. The aim of the research is to create novel devices for...
Using weekly influenza surveillance data from the US CDC, Edward Goldstein and colleagues develop a statistical method to predict the sizes of epidemics caused by seasonal influenza strains. This method could inform decisions about the most appropriate vaccines or drugs needed early in the...
I want to root my Optimus S from Sprint. However, I have upgraded to the latest release update from Sprint and I heard that now it is difficult to root my phone. Is there anyway I can root this phone?
I am debating between ipad 2 or xoom, I know xoom is more powerful than ipad 2 but my deal breaker is the Chinese input method. I love on iphone and ipad I can actually write out the character instead of pinyin spelling because I suck at pinyin. I had been looking online to see if android have...
