A single genetic variant in kidney donors' cells may help determine whether their transplanted organs will survive long term, according to a study appearing in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN). The findings provide new information that might be used...
People who carry a "G" instead of an "A" at a specific spot in their genetic code have roughly a six-fold higher risk of developing certain types of brain tumors, a Mayo Clinic and University of California, San Francisco study has found. The findings, published online in the journal Nature...
Carriers of the so-called KIBRA T allele have better memories than those who don't have this gene variant. This means we can reject the theory that the brain of a non-bearer compensates for this. This is shown by researchers from Umeå University in The Journal of Neuroscience. In this study...
...how much would it be? Hey guys, I was talking with my grandfather who flew door gunner missions in Vietnam in a UH-1, and I have always wanted to purchase one, and I was wondering if there is even a possibility of myself owning one, or any variant that resembles one. Chances are, absolutely...
Richard Holbrooke, John Ritter, Lucille Ball, Jonathan Larson and Great Britain's King George II were all taken by the same silent killer: an acute aortic dissection. Now, scientists led by researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) and Baylor College of...
Orthopaedic surgeons from Children's National Medical Center are part of a team of researchers that has identified the genetic mutation causing Proteus syndrome, a rare disorder in which tissue and bone grow massively out of proportion. The discovery appears in the July 27, 2011, online edition...
Well i know only very little about graphics card. but i want to get the Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 1 GB DDR5 because it looks like a very good card unless you can tell me for a better and cheaper one. But the problem is that when i go to the shop in amd theres ton load of 5870's hell man there's...
Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (NYSE: DGX), the world's leading provider of diagnostic testing, information and services, today announced the availability of its AccuType® IL28B test for aiding in the prediction of patient response to peginterferon alpha-based therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV)...
A variant of last year's pandemic influenza linked to fatal cases carried a mutation that enabled it to infect a different subset of cells lining the airway, according to new research. The study, due to be published next week in the Journal of Virology, suggests that the mutant virus could have...
I need to solve a varient of the stag hunt game for my class in Game Theory. Consider only m hunters, with 2 </=m<n needed to catch the stag. Assume captured stag is shared only by hunters who catch it. Under each of the following, find the Nash equilibiria of the strategic game that models the...
Scientists have announced that they have identified for the first time definitive variants associated with biological ageing in humans. The team analyzed more than 500,000 genetic variations across the entire human genome to identify the variants which are located near a gene called TERC. The...

System. Is this true or false? I'm just curious, as I thought Nokia uses Symbian for their OS. Is that correct, or do they use their own Operating System?
