Bee Disease Still A Mystery, Despite New Advances
Silkweaver
by Silkweaver  Today 7:12 PM   
 Entomologists are studying the reasons behind an enormous bee die off happening across the country. They call it Colony Collapse Disorder, and if they cannot find a solution the 80% of fruits and vegetables that require pollination may not make it to market.

Looking for a new brand of T.P.? Here's one (NSFW)

 A new (for me anyhow) brand of toilet paper that is all about truth in marketing. Err, it's hard to explain, but the clip gives a reasonable summary.

Trans-Atlantic MagLev -- A Magnetically Levitated Vacuum Tube Train
rj3sp
by rj3sp  7-4-2008   
 A Maglev train floats about 10mm above the guidway on a magnetic field and is propelled by the guidway itself rather than an onboard engine by changing magnetic fields. An exotic proposal based upon this principle is the Trans Atlantic vactrain: a Maglev train in a long near-vacuum tube with speeds that allow less than one hour travel times between New York and London.

Chance discovery sheds light on S.I.D.S.
pokkets
by pokkets  7-3-2008    2
 Cot death, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome has been a mystery, and a number of causes have studied. It has also been suggested that there may be more than one cause. While the study was on mice, they hope it will lead to more clues in the search for causes in humans, and help identify babies at risk

Worms Do Calculus To Find Meals
shandora
by shandora  7-3-2008    2
 In their paper, the researchers documented how two related, closely located chemosensory neurons, acting in tandem, regulate behavior. The left neuron controls an on switch, while the opposing right one an off switch. These sister neurons are situated much like the two nostrils or two eyes of mammals. Together these neurons are known as ASE for antagonistic sensory cues.

Joint Venture Announced To Develop Natural Gas Acreage
merrie
by merrie  7-2-2008   
 The Haynesville Shale leasehold could hold net unrisked unproved reserve potential of 23-44 trillion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent or bcfe provided drilling of up to 6,875 horizontal wells using 80 acre spacing and assuming per well estimated ultimate reserves or EUR to average between 4.5 and 8.5 billion bcfe. Chesapeake noted that its initial production rates on the eight completed horizontal wells have ranged from 5 to 15 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent or mmcfe per day. Plains Exploration expects organic production growth of more than 20% and reserve growth in excess of 10%, both compounded annually, with the addition of the Haynesville Shale position. Plains Exploration also currently anticipates net proved reserves of 600 million barrels of oil equivalent or boe to reach about 1 billion boe by 2012. In Tuesday's after-hours trading, CHK further added $3.39 or 5.03% to close at $70.75, while PXP further added $2.06 or 2.81% to close at $75.30.

Somebody Should Do Something About All the Problems
papananook

 DNA fingerprinting—that's what they're doing now. And still strawberries at Bergmann's are $2.99 a quart. It's ludicrous. It's as if we live in the Dark Ages. Cloned genes and fiber optics, but the cat still goes into heat and scratches up my new mahogany coffee table. I kicked that thing as hard as I could with my good leg and it still came back screeching and wagging its fanny like a Broadway showgirl. Isn't there something someone can do about that? I'm sure with all the vaccines and hybrid cells and carbon dating equipment we've got today someone can take a minute to whip up a pill I can force down Pumpkin's throat so I have one decent thing in this shoebox house that I worked like a dog at the phone company for 27 years in order to afford. These are the good years for me? Huh! I'm still watering my flowers and hosing off my driveway. Where is the fiber optics in that? How's superconductivity helping me when my new cotton housedress shrank up to nothing the first time I pu

Orion twins show not all are identical
pokkets
by pokkets  6-30-2008   
 The fact that the twins are different means the study of their eclipses, can shed more light on the formation of stars, and they are one of the yardsticks astronomers can use to test their theories on star formation. The information gained can help revise some theories that exist at the moment, including the ages of star types.
