I actually had never experienced much better tree transplanting service provider in IL like Arbor Care, Inc. They have finished this task together with terrific efforts. The group members were impressive. I am extremely pleased with their efforts. A pleasant work in very economical cost.

Diabetes "Unterm Strich plädiert Cara Ebbeling deshalb für die Diät mit dem niedrigen glykämischen Index: „Anders als bei fettarmer und extrem kohlenhydratarmen Ernährungsweisen muss man bei dieser Form nicht ganze Gruppen von Lebensmitteln weglassen, was sie einfacher und gesünder macht", sagt die Ernährungswissenschaftlerin.

"Seltene Tier- und Pflanzenarten sind für das Funktionieren eines Ökosystems oft extrem wichtig - weil sie Merkmale oder Eigenschaften haben, über die keine oder nur wenige andere Arten in ihrem Lebensraum verfügen. Der Verlust solcher Arten treffe das Ökosystem deshalb als Ganzes schwer, schreibt ein internationales Forscherteam im Fachmagazin "PloS Biology". Auch Artenschutzbemühungen - etwa im Rahmen des Weltrats für biologische Vielfalt - sollten das berücksichtigen, so die Forderung der Wissenschaftler. "

"Explore simultaneously in space and time with Time Machine Each Time Machine on this page captures a process in extreme detail over space and time, with billions of pixels of explorable resolution. Choose a time machine and zoom into the image while traveling backwards or forwards through time. Select a Time Warp and the time machine's authors will take you on a guided space-time tour with text annotations explaining what you are viewing. You can even learn how to create your own Time Machines and Warps."

Powerful and extensible JS data grid and explorer built on Backbone. Recline combines a data grid, Google Refine-style data transforms and visualizations all in lightweight javascript and html. Designed for standalone use or as a library to integrate into your own app. Recline builds on the powerful but lightweight Backbone framework making it extremely easy to extend and adapt and its modular design means you only have to take what you need.

"Autisten können sich schlecht selbst darstellen und auch nicht gut verkaufen. Außerdem haben sie massive Probleme mit sozialer Interaktion und Kommunikation.. Die meisten Autisten sind extrem gut in analytischem und logischem Denken."

"Wussten Sie beispielsweise, dass Spinnenseide fünf Mal reißfester als Stahl, sowie extrem stabil und elastisch ist? Das sind Eigenschaften, die sich die Medizin zu Nutzen machen will. Da die Seide nämlich vom Körper nicht als fremd erkannt wird und daher eine Immunabwehr ausbleibt, arbeiten Wissenschaftler daran, aus dem Material Nerven von Unfallopfern zu rekonstruieren - etwa bei einer Querschnittslähmung. Erste vielversprechende Erfolge können sie im Tierversuch bereits vorweisen. Doch damit nicht genug. Mediziner wollen Spinnenseide außerdem dazu benutzen, künstliche Haut und verschiedene Implantate zu züchten"

"Manche sehen ein helles Licht, andere erleben Stationen ihres Lebens noch einmal im Schnelldurchlauf: Viele Menschen, die kurzzeitig klinisch tot waren, dann aber gerettet wurden, berichten von intensiven Nahtod-Erfahrungen. Woher diese Gefühls- und Sinneseindrücke kommen und wie sie sich biologisch erklären lassen, war bisher allerdings umstritten. Ein Experiment von US-Forschern an Ratten belegt nun: Diesen Erfahrungen liegt tatsächlich ein messbarer neurologischer Effekt zugrunde. Nach einem Herzstillstand erlebt das Gehirn eine kurze Phase extrem koordinierter Aktivität, die sogar stärker ist als im wachen Zustand. "

Bienen sind extrem wichtig für die Nahrungskette. In Australien gibt es kein Bienensterben obwohl dort Pflanzengifte zugelassen sind, in Frankreich, wo diese Mittel verboten sind, ist das Bienensterben stark vertreten

"Postdocs are very small and hard to see. If you encounter a postdoc in the wild, approach with extreme caution! You can frighten away a postdoc by asking, "Shouldn't you be in the lab?""

Organic compounds of unexpected complexity exist throughout the universe, Prof. Sun Kwok and Dr. Yong Zhang of the University of Hong Kong have discovered, suggesting that complex organic compounds can be synthesized in space even when no life forms are present. The organic substance they found contains a mixture of aromatic (ring-like) and aliphatic (chain-like) components that are so complex, their chemical structures resemble those of coal and petroleum. Since coal and oil are remnants of ancient life, this type of organic matter was thought to arise only from living organisms. Unidentified radiation from the universe The researchers investigated an unsolved phenomenon: a set of infrared emissions detected in stars, interstellar space, and galaxies, known as "Unidentified Infrared Emission features." From observations taken by the Infrared Space Observatory and the Spitzer Space Telescope, Kwok and Zhang showed that the astronomical spectra have chemical structures that are much more complex that previously thought. By analyzing spectra of star dust formed in exploding stars called novae, they show that stars are making these complex organic compounds on extremely short time scales of weeks, and ejecting it into the general interstellar space, the region between stars. "Our work has shown that stars have no problem making complex organic compounds under near-vacuum conditions," says Kwok. "Theoretically, this is impossible, but observationally we can see it happening." Most interestingly, this organic star dust is similar in structure to complex organic compounds found in meteorites. Since meteorites are remnants of the early Solar System, the findings raise the possibility that stars enriched the early Solar System with organic compounds. The early Earth was subjected to severe bombardments by comets and asteroids, which potentially could have carried organic star dust. Whether these delivered organic compounds played any role in the development of l

Unique science of Mahendra Trivedi. He has given extremely, amazing results in agriculture, materials science, plants genetics and biotechnology.

High performance liquid chromatography is known as high-pressure liquid chromatography. HPLC is an extremely improved version of chromatography, where the solvent is allowed to drip through the column under gravity.

Drury, a geneticist, is a pioneer in new research exploring the biological impacts of early adversity on children. She is the first scientist to show that extreme stress in infancy can biologically age a child by shortening the tips of chromosomes, known as telomeres. These caps keep chromosomes from shrinking when cells replicate. Shorter telomeres are linked to higher risks for heart disease, cognitive decline, diabetes and mental illness in adults.

ScienceDaily (Sep. 12, 2011) - The HARPS spectrograph on the 3.6-metre telescope at ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile is the world's most successful planet finder [1]. The HARPS team, led by Michel Mayor (University of Geneva, Switzerland), have announced the discovery of more than 50 new exoplanets orbiting nearby stars, including sixteen super-Earths [2]. This is the largest number of such planets ever announced at one time [3]. The new findings are being presented at a conference on Extreme Solar Systems where 350 exoplanet experts are meeting in Wyoming, USA.

Whether used to clinch a guilty verdict or predict the end of a "CSI" episode, DNA evidence has given millions of people a sense of certainty -- but the outcomes of using DNA evidence have often been far from certain, according to David Kaye, Distinguished Professor of Law at Penn State.

Scientists have created a never-before seen type of exotic matter that is thought to have been present at the earliest stages of the universe, right after the Big Bang. The new matter is a particularly weird form of antimatter, which is like a mirror-image of regular matter. Every normal particle is thought to have an antimatter partner, and if the two come into contact, they annihilate. The recent feat of matter-tinkering was accomplished by smashing charged gold atoms at each other at super-high speeds in a particle accelerator called the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, N.Y.
