Computer models help decode cells that sense light without seeing
Researchers have found that the melanopsin pigment in the
eye is potentially more sensitive to light than its more famous counterpart,
rhodopsin, the pigment that allows for night vision.
For more than two years, the staff of the Laboratory for
Computational Photochemistry and Photobiology (LCPP) at Ohio's Bowling Green
State University (BGSU),
have been investigating melanopsin, a retina pigment
capable of sensing light changes in the environment, informing the nervous
system and synchronizing it with the day/night rhythm. Most of the study's
complex computations were carried out on powerful supercomputer clusters at theNew application of physics tools used in biology
Alawrence suffragist National Laboratory scientist and his
colleagues have found a replacement application for the tools and arithmetic
usually utilized in physics to assist solve issues in biology.
Specifically, the team used physics associate degreed
mathematical modeling to shed light-weight on one thing referred to as
epigenetic memory -- however an organism will produce a biological memory of
some variable condition, like quality of nutrition or temperature.
"The work highlights the knowledge domain nature of
contemporary biology, particularly,
how the tools and models from arithmetic and physics will
facilitate clarify issues in biology," aforesaid Ken Kim, a LLNL scientist
and one in every of the authors of a paper showing within the February. seven
issue of Physical Review Letters.
Not all characteristics of living organisms will be
explained by their genes alone. Epigenetic processes react with nice
sensitivity to genes' immediate organic chemistry surroundings -- and any, they
pass those reactions on to future generation.
The team's work on the dynamics of simple {protein} protein
modification is central to epigenetics. Like genetic changes, epigenetic
changes area unit preserved once a cell divides. simple protein proteins were
once thought to be static, structural elements in chromosomes, however recent
studies have shown that histones play a vital changing role within the
machinery accountable for epigenetic regulation.
When histones endure chemical alterations (histone
modification) as a results of some external stimulant, they trigger short
biological memory of that stimulant inside a cell, which might be passed all
the way down to its girl cells. This memory can also be reversed once a number
of organic process cycles.
Epigenetic modifications area unit essential within the
development and performance of cells, however conjointly play a key role in
cancer, per Jianhua Xing, a former LLNL postdoc and current academic at
Virginia technical school. "For example, changes within the epigenome will
cause the activation or deactivation of signal pathways that may cause growth
formation," Xing other.
The molecular mechanism underlying epigenetic memory
involves complicated interactions between histones, DNA and enzymes, that
manufacture modification patterns that area unit recognized by the cell. to
realize insight into such complicated systems, the team made a mathematical
model that captures the essential options of the histone-induced epigenetic
memory. The model highlights the "engineering" challenge a cell
should perpetually face throughout molecular recognition. it's analogous to
restoring an image with missing elements. The molecular properties of a species
are evolutionarily chosen to permit them to "reason" what the missing
elements area unit supported incomplete data

How to Compliment Girls Part 3 (Complimenting Don’ts)
1.
Avoid complimenting certain physical features. The thing
is, if you build up a girl’s feeling of worth in a particular feature, in most
cases that feature is going to go away over time and she’ll end up feeling
worthless because it’s gone. So avoid complimenting butt, legs, etc. Eyes and
hands are a safer bet.
Complimenting on physical features works even better if you
tie the compliment to her personality or actions. For example, tell her that
her eyes are beautiful and that you love how her determination shines through
her eyes when she’s working so hard.
2.
Don’t sexually compliment girls you don’t know well. This
is the biggest no-no when it comes to complimenting girls. You will obviously
see girls you don’t know that you’re very attracted to, and you may think that
paying them a compliment is just a nice thing to do, but if you don’t know the
girl then a sexualized comment is just going to make you look like a creeper
How to Compliment Girls part 2 (Complimenting Dos)
1.
Be sincere. Any compliment you say, you have to absolutely
mean. Girls will always be able to tell if you don’t mean it. They may not call
you on it, but they’ll know and it will make them feel awful and awkward.
2.
Be respectful. This is the main key to being able to
Compliment girls without offending or upsetting them. If you respect them as
people, as valuable human beings with worthwhile opinions, feelings, hopes and dreams,
who are capable of doing everything that you can do, then any compliment that
comes out of your mouth will probably be fine.
3.
Think about how the Compliment would make you feel. If
you’re still worried, think about how the compliment would make you feel. Don’t
just look at the surface of the compliment...think about the things that she
worries about and the experiences she’s had. Think abou
How to Compliment Girls Part 1 (Finding Things to Compliment)
1.
Evaluate what the girl values in herself. The first thing
you’ll want to do is think about the girl and what you know she values in
herself. Girls are conditioned to shy away from compliments and she’ll be
much more open to accepting a compliment she agrees with. Notice what she’s
proud of, from your experiences with her and compliment her on those things.
For example, if she’s clearly very eager to share something
she’s done with other people, that’s something you could compliment her on.
2.
Consider what she struggles with or works on. Like yourself
or anyone else, she probably likes to have her hard work validated. If you know
she’s worked very hard on something or that there’s something she feels
inadequate or self-conscious about, you
Engineers Create Light-Activated 'Curtains'
A research team led
by Ali Javey, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer
sciences, layered carbon nanotubes -- atom-thick rolls of carbon -- onto a
plastic polycarbonate membrane to create a material that moves quickly in
response to light. Within fractions of a second, the nanotubes absorb light,
convert it into heat and transfer the heat to the polycarbonate membrane's
surface. The plastic expands in response to the heat, while the nanotube layer
does not, causing the two-layered material to bend.
"The advantages of this new class of photo-reactive
actuator is that it is very easy to make, and it is very sensitive to
low-intensity light," said Javey, who is also a faculty scientist at the Lawrence
Berkeley National Lab. "The light from a flashlight is enough to generate
a response."

Supreme Court rules cops can collect your DNA if they arrest you
Your constitutional right to not be searched or detained by
law enforcement officials without reasonable suspicion or probable cause has
been further eroded by a recent Supreme Court ruling, which now allows police
officers to freely collect DNA samples from
individuals they arrest in connection with serious crimes. Even if such individuals are eventually found to be innocent and are later acquitted, such DNA collection can legally take place prior to this determination, according to the ruling's ambiguity.

Scientists discover secret code hidden within human DNA
Scientists have discovered a secret second code hiding
within DNA which instructs cells on how genes are controlled. The amazing
discovery is expected to open new doors to the diagnosis and treatment of
diseases, according to a new study.
Ever since the genetic code was deciphered over 40 years
ago, scientists have believed that it only described how proteins are made.
However, the revelation made
by the research team led by John
Stamatoyannopoulos of the University of Washington indicates that genomes use
the genetic code to write two separate languages.Monday, January 20, 2014
Egypt: Sarcophagus Leads to the Tomb of a Previously Unknown Pharaoh, from 3,600 Years Ago
The discovery of pharaoh Senebkay's tomb is the culmination
of work that began during the summer of 2013 when the Penn Museum team, led by
Dr. Josef Wegner, Egyptian Section Associate Curator of the Penn Museum,
discovered a huge 60-ton royal sarcophagus chamber at South Abydos. The
sarcophagus chamber, of red quartzite quarried and transported to Abydos from
Gebel Ahmar (near modern Cairo), could be dated to the late Middle Kingdom, but
its owner remained unidentified. Mysteriously, the sarcophagus had been extracted
from its original tomb and reused in a later tomb -- but the original royal
owner remained unknown when the summer season ended.
In the last few weeks of excavations, fascinating details of
a series of kings' tombs and a lost dynasty at Abydos have emerged.
Archaeologists now know that the giant quartzite sarcophagus chamber derives
from a royal tomb built originally for a pharaoh
Caffeine stirs our memory
A jolt of caffeine can boost memory, according to a recent
study that provides a scientific motive for students slurping coffee, tea or
energy drinks when cramming for exams.
A team at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland,
found that caffeine enhances certain memories for at least a day after they
were formed.
Evidence for caffeine as a memory booster has been anecdotal
until now.
This is because the process of registering memories - say,
reading a book ahead of an exam - may happen in conditions where the person is
eager to absorb and retain information.
Breast screening over 70 'helps early detection'
Breast screening of women aged 70 to 74 provides a notable
benefit in terms of early detection, according to the authors of a new
Australian study.
The finding supports recent moves by some juristications in
Australia and overseas to extend screening programs to women older than 70
years.
"The findings are suggesting that it's useful for women
who have been participating in screening aged 50 to 69 to continue
participating in screening because screening does seem to lead to earlier
detection of cancers," says first author Dr Carolyn Nickson, an
epidemiologist from the University of Melbourne.
Traditionally, breast screening has been encouraged for

Massive Galaxy Cluster Verifies Predictions of Cosmological Theory: First Detection of Kinetic SZ Effect in an Individual Galaxy Cluster
MACS J0717.5+3745 is an extraordinarily dynamic galaxy
cluster with a total mass greater than 1015 (a million billion) times the mass
of the sun or more than 1,000 times the mass of our own galaxy. It appears to
contain three relatively stationary subclusters (A, C, and D) and one
subcluster (B) that is being drawn into the larger galaxy cluster, moving at a
speed of 3,000 kilometers per second.
The galaxy cluster was observed by a team led by Sunil
Golwala, professor of physics
Ancient DNA sparks new mystery
it.” DNA from a 400,000-year-old leg bone is breaking
records. It also raises questions about how closely ancient humanlike creatures
were related to each other. The genetic material is four times older than any
other recovered from a pre-human ancestor, or hominid. And scientists say the
DNA links this individual, recovered from Spain, with a much later humanlike
group called Denisovans. Their remains have been found only in East Asia’s
Siberia.
The newly studied leg bone turned up nearly a decade ago.
Scientists retrieved it from among

Physical Reason for Chromosome's Cylindrical Shape Discovered
This work gives a solution to a fundamental question in
structural biology: Why do metaphase chromosomes have their characteristic
elongated cylindrical shape? The proposed solution is consistent with the
structure of metaphase chromatin and with the nanomechanical properties of
chromatin and chromosomes. It is a research at the interface between biology
(higher order chromatin structure) and physical sciences (supramolecular
structures and nanomaterials). This approach goes beyond the capabilities of
current structural biology based on X-ray crystallography, because it allows
the study of an enormous supramolecular assembly that cannot be crystallized.
The work has been published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface.
In the cell nucleus, genomic DNA molecules are associated
with histone proteins and form long chromatin filaments containing many
nucleosomes. Previous microscopy
