On beautiful, sunny days with quiet weather conditions a strong wind develops in the evening at a height of about 200 meters. Scientists have now mapped how such a powerful wind develops high in the air.
Famous mugs do more than prompt us into buying magazines, according to new research. Scientists explain how the ability to name famous faces or access biographical knowledge about celebrities holds clues that could help in early Alzheimer's detection.
Just in time for the holidays: a Hubble Space Telescope picture postcard of hundreds of brilliant blue stars wreathed by warm, glowing clouds. The festive portrait is the most detailed view of the largest stellar nursery in our local galactic neighborhood.
An experimental nasally administered malaria vaccine prevented parasite transmission from infected mice to mosquitoes and could play an important role in the fight against human malaria.
Bacteria of the genus Salmonella cause most food-borne illnesses. The bacteria attach to cells of the intestinal wall and induce their own ingestion by cells of the intestinal epithelium. Up till now, researchers assumed that Salmonella have to induce the formation of distinctive membrane waves in order to invade these gut cells. Researchers in Germany have […]
Choosing the right cell type is particularly important in genetic studies. Researchers have now shown how variations in the genome can influence the activity of genes. This effect was found to be strongly dependent on the cell type in which these genes were active.
Several maladaptive eating behaviors, beyond anorexia, can affect women. Indeed, some 10 to 15 percent of women have maladaptive eating behaviors and attitudes according to new study.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has discovered the smallest object ever seen in visible light in the Kuiper Belt, a vast ring of icy debris that is encircling the outer rim of the solar system just beyond Neptune.
Scientists have concluded that mutations in the BRCA1 gene, which have been linked with early onset breast cancer, are also associated with some infertility indicators.
Gereja Inggris akan minta maaf kepada Charles Darwin atas penolakan teori evolusi yang dikemukakan hampir 150 tahun yang lalu. Gereja Inggris memberikan pernyataan bahwa terlalu defensif dan emosional dalam menolak pendapat Darwin. Langkah tegas yang dulu dilakukan karena mencemaskan pihak Gereja yang percaya pada hukum penciptaan dan menganggap pandangan Da […]
Dua hari ini tempat tinggal saya sangat riuh, mengingat di seberang jalan adalah Kantor KPU Jateng yang selalu menjadi langganan demonstrasi. Menyaksikan aktivitas demonstrasi sudah jamak bagi penduduk yang tinggal di sepanjang jalan tersebut. Namun yang terjadi pada kemarin siang dan tadi sore 9 September 2008 merupakan demonstrasi yang spesial menurut saya […]
Perubahan berjalan semakin cepat dan akan melibas apa saja seperti logos menggantikan mitos dan secara tegas menelanjangi tabir mitologi. Pada era itu timbul reaksi para penganut status quo sontak menyebut sebagai era “the death of god” (“crisis of theology”). Perubahan yang begitu cepat ini menyebabkan “culture shock” bagi orang yang sulit berkompromi dan m […]
Tokoh postmodern, Jean Baudrillard, menyatakan media terutama televisi mampu menampilkan simulasi/model yang demikian intens memenuhi ruang kehidupan sosial, sehingga mengaburkan batas antara citra dan fakta. Citra menjadi lebih real dibanding realitas sebenarnya sehingga cenderung dijadikan kriteria. Ini disebut hyperreal yang menjadi ciri dunia postmodern, […]

”Sejarah ditulis oleh yang menang”, demikian kalimat ini disusun. Seorang sejarawan menyatakan bahwa para penguasa selalu berusaha menguasai tafsir sejarah guna melegitimasi kekuasaan, seperti dilakukan Ken Arok ketika mendirikan Singasari dan membuat silsilah yang menerangkan bahwa dia keturunan Raja-raja Mataram. Dalam konteks ini, sejarah memainkan perana […]

Air susu ibu atau ASI adalah makanan terbaik untuk bayi umur 0-6 bulan. Mengapa demikian, karena di dalam ASI terkandungan zat-zat yang sesuai kebutuhan bayi, sedangkan susu sapi terkandung zat-zat yang sesuai kebutuhan sapi, begitu pula dengan susu kambing. Sedangkan susu kaleng membawa berbagai efek samping seperti diare. Ya…. ibu-ibu. Berdasarkan buku yan […]
This study identifies a previously uncharacterized protein, encoded by a domesticated DNA transposon, called ZBED6 that regulates the expression of the insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) gene, and possibly numerous others, in all placental mammals including human.
In order to survive in highly saline environments, proteins from halophilic archea have evolved with biased amino acid compositions that have the capacity to reduce contacts with the solvent.
Are we “historical accidents” of an undirected evolutionary history? In his recent book, Islands in the Cosmos, Dale Russell addresses this question, and Brian Swartz reviews his synthesis of this “cosmic” evolutionary debate.
Females are frequently harassed and harmed by males attempting to obtain matings. When these males are also “choosy” with their courtship, there may be negative consequences to the species' ability to adaptively evolve.
In recent years we have witnessed a significant growth of social-computing communities - online services in which users share information in various forms. As content contributions from participants are critical to the viability of these communities, it is important to understand what drives users to participate and share information with others in such sett […]
In the process of scientific research, many information objects are generated, all of which may remain valuable indefinitely. However, artifacts such as instrument data and associated calibration information may have little value in isolation; their meaning is derived from their relationships to each other. Individual artifacts are best represented as compon […]

This paper studies the role and effects of user-producer interaction (UPI) in the production of Web sites. The results of two empirical studies, one from a producer perspective and one from a user perspective, are presented. It is concluded that using UPI in the development of informative Web sites for a large public is a risky process, because it is hard to […]
Background: Traditional methods of process evaluation encompass what components were delivered, but rarely uncover how practitioners position themselves and act relative to an intervention being tested. This could be crucial for expanding our understanding of implementation and its contribution to intervention effectiveness. Methods: We undertook a narrative […]
Background: Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important imaging modality for pre-operative staging and surgical planning of rectal cancer, to date there has been little investigation on the completeness and overall quality of MRI reports. This is important because optimal patient care depends on the quality of the MRI report and clear communica […]
Background: There is a general expectation within healthcare that organizations should use evidence-based practice (EBP) as an approach to improving the quality of care. However, challenges exist regarding how to make EBP a reality, particularly at an organizational level and as a routine, sustained aspect of professional practice. Methods: A mixed method ex […]
Background: Behavioural approaches to knowledge translation inform interventions to improve healthcare. However, such approaches often focus on a single behaviour without considering that health professionals perform multiple behaviours in pursuit of multiple goals in a given clinical context. In resource-limited consultations, performing these other goal-di […]
Background: Evidence-based interventions that are being delivered in real-world settings are adapted to enhance the external validity of these interventions. The purpose of this study was to examine multiple intervention adaptations made during pre-implementation, implementation, maintenance, and evolution phases of human immunodeficiency virus HIV preventio […]
