According to reports, the Beatles’ experimental song Carnival of Light includes gargling, distorted guitar and shouts of ”Are you alright?”, or to put it another way, complaints that would rouse an apartment building superintendent at 4AM.

Hot Topics in Infection and Immunity in Children IV contains chapters based on lectures given by speakers at the "Infection and Immunity in Children" course, held in June 2006 at Keble College, Oxford. It was the fourth annual course of this name and this is the fourth book in the series as well. Together the courses and books have become important components of the training available to paediatri
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an enigmatic immune mediated disease of the central nervous system that affects about 350,000 individuals in the US, and many more around the world. The mechanism of this disease is largely unknown and there is no cure for it. However, there are several well-characterized experimental animal models that help us understand and speculate about potential mechanisms of patho

Water by *Getty72 on deviantARTWell, I am still learning to use my DSLR camera, whilst trying to discover how to compose the object/scene. This morning, whilst eating my breakfast, I had a spur of the moment idea....I took two small side-tables and balanced one on top of the other. I ran upstairs and dug out a sheet of green felt (that I use to cover my kitchen table when playing poker...lol), and placed it over the lounge window. So, now the environment was looking pretty cool. Now for a subject! Last night I was taking photos as part of the April Photo challenge and had eaten far too much (there's a clue for the gluttony pic..lol!). So, I decided that I needed a healthy subject this morning. There is nothing healthier than fresh water.... So I grabbed my biggest wine glass (an enormous b

It's an idea more than a recipe at this point. I've been thinking about two different types of salads I grew up with, the sweet and sour dressed 3-bean salad and the pea and cheese salad, often coated in a thick mayo dressing. Both of these salads are often made for potlucks and barbecues, but I wondered how I could put my own spin on them while adding a few ingredients I've come to love.

Japan has been launching satellite after satellite over the past few years. I have been on top of a few of those launches which include the Kaguya Lunar Probe (and the hi def pictures of the earth it sent back) and the AKARI space Observer.
The Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency's latest child in space is called WINDS (Wideband InterNetworking engineering test and Demonstration Satellite) and is code named Kizuna. I prefer to call it Kizuna as scientific and abbreviated names are usually lame -_- not to mention loooonnnggg.

A very shy guy goes into a pub on Valentine's Day night and sees a beautiful young woman sitting alone at the bar. After an hour of gathering up his courage he finally goes over to her and asks tentatively, "Um, would you mind if I brought you a drink?"She responds by yelling, at the top of her lungs, "No, I won't sleep with you tonight!"Everyone in the pub started staring at them. Naturally, the guy was terribly and completely embarrassed and he slinks back to his table totally red faced.After a few minutes, the woman walks over to him and apologizes. She smiles at him and says, "I'm really sorry if I embarrassed you just then. You see, I'm a graduate student in psychology and I'm studying how people respond to embarrassing situations."At this the guy responds, at the top of his lungs, "W

It has been two years going on three now, for the photography class that I teach. It has evolved a couple times up to now. This class was designed firstly for an elective course for the sixth semester students at the Visual Communication Design department of Petra Christian University, Surabaya, Indonesia. It was created to fill the need of a more focused and intensive course for those students who are more interested in photography, especially digital photography.The name "experimental photography" came up because it serves a more open engagement for the course and how it is going to be taught. It brings up ideas of a more creative approach in learning photography. And it's a catchier name for students, too. So then it was shortened to "XP" which is even easier to say.Before the 2nd half

There are some quite nice features coming up from Google, currently still in beta experimental phase.
First one is alternate views, and it allows you to see results in timeline or maps mode. Both have their merits, and are a very nice new way to search for information.
Second one is my favorite, is called keyboard shortcuts mode, and it allows you to navigate the results using your keyboard. For example press ‘j’ key to move to next results and ‘enter’ to open it. It is very similar to bloglines keyboard navigation system if you are familiar with it.
And third is called search navigation which gives you more related results to your query in a useful sidebar.
I feel that combination of the three will certainly bring the search experience to a new level. And if you were ever wondering what are all the Google employees actually doing this was one of those things. Here is a experiment site.

WEDNESDAY, Nov. 7 (HealthDay News) -- In mice, an investigational agent called VN/14-1 proved effective in treating human prostate cancer, say researchers at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. The five-week study found that daily injections of VN/14-1 in mice implanted with human prostate cancer cells resulted in up to a 50 percent reduction in tumor volume. VN/14-1 blocks the breakdown of vitamin A-derived retinoic acid, the researchers explained. The drug appears to tackle cancer in multiple ways. "This potent agent causes cancer cells to differentiate, forcing them to turn back to a non-cancerous state -- which is what we expected it would do -- but it also stops cancer growth by arresting the cell cycle and pushes cells to die by inducing programmed cell death," senior investigator Vincent C.O. Njar, associate professor in the department of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics in the School of Medicine, said in a prepared statement. "These functions were u

* En el CERN de Ginebra recrearán a escala atómica la explosión que dio origen al universo.
* Hasta 300 billones de núcleos de hidrógeno circularán por un acelerador de 27 km. de largo.
* En realidad, la energia que generará no será mucho mayor a la del choque de dos mosquitos.
* Pero es el mayor experimento de la historia de la humanidad.
La explosión primitiva en el laboratorio sólo tiene un poco más de energía que el choque de dos mosquitos. Pero encerrado en un tamaño que es una millonésima del de un mosquito, se despliega un calor infernal que debe acercar a los investigadores como nunca al nacimiento del cosmos.
Para ello se desarrolló en Ginebra el experimento más grande que el hombre construyó jamás.
