The results shed light on one of the branching points in the human family tree, reaching much further ... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200401111657.htm Apr. 1, 2020 In the fight against neurodegenerative diseases such as frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer's and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, the tau protein is a major culprit. Found abundantly in our brain cells, tau is normally a team player -- it maintains structure and stability within neurons, and it helps with transport of nutrients from one part of ... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200401155348.htm Apr. 1, 2020 The causes of 40% of all cases of certain medulloblastomas -- dangerous brain tumors affecting children -- are hereditary. A genetic defect that occurs in 15% of these children plays a key role by destabilizing the production of proteins. The researchers suspect that protein metabolism defects could be a previously underestimated cause of other types of ... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200401130829.htm Apr. 1, 2020 Using a specialized magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sensor that can track dopamine levels, neuroscientists have discovered how dopamine released deep within the brain influences distant ... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200401130823.htm Apr. 1, 2020 Normally, it takes pricey equipment and expertise to create an accurate 3D reconstruction of someone's face. Now, researchers have pulled off the feat using video recorded on an ordinary smartphone. Shooting a continuous video of the front and sides of the face generates a dense cloud of data. A two-step process uses that data, with some help from deep learning algorithms, to build a digital ... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200401092609.htm Apr. 1, 2020 A research team has introduced a machine-learning algorithm that can scan through microscope images to find 2D materials like graphene. This work can help shorten the time required for 2D material-based electronics to be ready for consumer ... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200401092604.htm Apr. 1, 2020 Mathematicians show that by modelling meat as a fluid-saturated matrix of elastic proteins, which are deformed as the fluid moves, cooking behaviors can be simulated more ... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200401130805.htm Apr. 1, 2020 Scientists studying high-Tc superconductors have definitive evidence for the existence of a state of matter known as a pair density wave -- first predicted by theorists some 50 years ago. Their results show that this phase coexists with superconductivity in a well-known bismuth-based copper-oxide .... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200401130827.htm Apr. 1, 2020 The Common Nightingale, known for its beautiful song, breeds in Europe and parts of Asia and migrates to sub-Saharan Africa every winter. A new study suggests that natural selection driven by climate change is causing these iconic birds to evolve shorter wings, which might make them less likely to survive their annual ... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200401105857.htm Apr. 1, 2020 In an effort to provide safer working environments for nuclear medicine professionals and their patients, clinics across five continents have shared their approaches to containing the spread of COVID-19. This compilation of strategies, experiences and precautions is intended to support nuclear medicine clinics as they make decisions regarding ... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200401150815.htm Apr. 1, 2020 A partial skeleton of Homo naledi represents a rare case of an immature individual, shedding light on the evolution of growth and development in human ancestry, according to a ... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200401150827.htm Apr. 1, 2020 Dropping Mentos candies into a bottle of soda causes a foamy jet to erupt. Although science fair exhibitors can tell you that this geyser results from rapid degassing of the beverage induced by the candies, the precise means by which bubbles form hasn't been well characterized. Now, researchers have used experiments in the lab and at various altitudes to probe the mechanism of bubble ... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200401111651.htm Apr. 1, 2020 In two new studies, scientists have investigated how to measure stress in semi-captive working elephants. The studies suggest that both physiological and behavioral approaches can be used to reliably assess the well-being of semi-captive Asian ... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200401130813.htm Apr. 1, 2020 A new study reinforces the concept that Neanderthal DNA has been woven into the modern human genome on multiple occasions as our ancestors met Neanderthals time and again in different parts of the ... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200401150821.htm Apr. 1, 2020 Carbon is essential for life as we know it and plays a vital role in many of our planet's geologic processes -- not to mention the impact that carbon released by human activity has on the planet's atmosphere and oceans. Despite this, the total amount of carbon on Earth remains a mystery, because much of it remains inaccessible in the planet's ... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200401100456.htm Apr. 1, 2020 Scientists have published a new study proposing an optimization methodology for designing climate-resilient energy systems and to help ensure that communities will be able to meet future energy needs given weather and climate ... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200401111653.htm --- up 10 weeks, 1 day, 2 hours, 33 minutes * Origin: -=> Castle Rock BBS <=- Now Husky HPT Powered!
