Differentiated human cells have been reprogrammed to an embryonic-like state with the addition of only one gene, rather than the standard four. This should advance techniques for the efficient production of high-quality patient-specific stem cells.

"The water content of leaves, their thickness, their density and other properties can now be determined without even having to touch them. A team of researchers from the CSIC Institute of Acoustics and the Agri-Food Research and Technology Centre (CITA) of Aragón has just presented an innovative technique that enables plant leaves to be studied using ultrasound in a quick, simple and non-invasive fashion."

Using entire galaxies as lenses to look at other galaxies, researchers have a newly precise way to measure the size and age of the universe and how rapidly it is expanding, on a par with other techniques. The measurement determines a value for the Hubble constant, which indicates the size of the universe, and confirms the age of the universe as 13.75 billion years old, within 170 million years. The results also confirm the strength of dark energy, responsible for accelerating the expansion of the universe.

"In a new demonstration of reversible light storage, physicists have achieved storage efficiencies of more than a magnitude greater than those offered by previous techniques. The new method could be useful for designing quantum repeaters, which are necessary for achieving long-distance quantum communication."

Because the size of these metallic hotspots is far smaller than the wavelength of incident light, a new technique was needed to map the electromagnetic field within a hotspot. The Berkeley researchers developed the BEAST method to capitalize on the fact that individual fluorescent dye molecules can be localized with single nanometer accuracy. The fluorescence intensity of individual molecules adsorbed on the surface provides a direct measure of the electromagnetic field inside a single hotspot. BEAST utilizes the Brownian motion of single dye molecules in a solution to make the dyes scan the inside of single hotspot stochastically, one molecule at a time.

With this new experiment, the researchers have succeeded for the first time in experimentally reconstructing full trajectories which provide a description of how light particles move through the two slits and form an interference pattern. Their technique builds on a new theory of weak measurement that was developed by Yakir Aharonov's group at Tel Aviv University. Howard Wiseman of Griffith University proposed that it might be possible to measure the direction a photon (particle of light) was moving, conditioned upon where the photon is found. By combining information about the photon's direction at many different points, one could construct its entire flow pattern ie. the trajectories it takes to a screen.

Apply the electrodes... Externally modulating the brain's activity can boost its performance. The easiest way to manipulate the brain is through transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which involves applying electrodes directly to the head to influence neuron activity with an electric current. Roi Cohen Kadosh's team at the University of Oxford showed last year that targeting tDCS at the brain's right parietal lobe can boost a person's arithmetic ability - the effects were still apparent six months after the tDCS session (newscientist.com/article/dn19679). More recently, Richard Chi and Allan Snyder at the University of Sydney, Australia, demonstrated that tDCS can improve a person's insight. The pair applied tDCS to volunteers' anterior frontal lobes - regions known to play a role in how we perceive the world - and found the participants were three times as likely as normal to complete a problem-solving task (newscientist.com/article/dn20080). Brain stimulation can also boost a person's learning abilities, according to Agnes Flöel's team at the University of Münster in Germany. Twenty minutes of tDCS to a part of the brain called the left perisylvian area was enough to speed up and improve language learning in a group of 19 volunteers (Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, DOI: 10.1162/jocn.2008.20098). Using the same technique to stimulate the brain's motor cortex, meanwhile, can enhance a person's ability to learn a movement-based skill (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, DOI: 10.1073/pnas.0805413106).

An international team of scientists has developed a novel X-ray technique for imaging atomic displacements in materials with unprecedented accuracy, using a recently discovered class of exotic materials - multiferroics - that can be simultaneously magnetically and electrically ordered. Multiferroics are also candidate materials for new classes of electronic devices. The researchers are from the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble (France), the University of Oxford, and the University College London.

Trivedi Science - introduced seeds, or agriculture techniques are the best options for all those who wish to grow ginseng plant but are haunted with the question how to grow ginseng this blog has some basic pointers to remember.

Various techniques used in organic farming are crop rotation, biological pest control, green manure, composting, management of soil and weed, genetic modification etc. Organic agriculture or farming can hence be used as a protective measure for the environment indeed.

Organic farming is basically called natural farming it helps in fixing nitrogen content in the soil due to which fertility is enhanced naturally without any side effects. trivedi foundation is a scientific research organization that is engaged in the study of existing farming methods and techniques.

"Natural farming also popularly called as organic farming is defined as an ecological farming method pioneered by Japanese. The main focus of this farming technique is to avoid manufactured inputs and equipments".

As farming is a conglomeration of many activities, integrated farming is that technique that looks at farming from a holistic approach. In other words, gives options of effectively using waste material in the most effective way by reducing cost of production, utilization of waste resulting to economic balance and reuse of waste in a productive way.

Coastline Sediment Control provides the best services to control soil erosion and sedimentation in Australia. We are also offering the techniques for siltation control at very Eco friendly prices.

Ginseng does not cultivate in full daylight, so the regular habitation to plant it is in hardwood jungles, where the trees offer the desirable shadow. Mahendra trivedi at trivedi foundation constantly involved in determining better techniques for ginseng agriculture and receiving best out of it.
