Boron-nitride can be used for the treatment of cancer

A new study has shown that adding boron-nitride nanotubes to the surface of cancer cells can double the effectiveness of Irreversible Electroporation, a minimally invasive treatment for soft tissue tumors in the liver, lung, prostate, head and neck, kidney and pancreas. Although this research is in the very early stages, it could one day lead to better therapies for cancer. The study was carried out by researchers in Italy at the Institute of coque batterie iphone 4 Life Sciences, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Pisa with BNNTs provided by researchers at NASA's Langley Research Center, the Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility and the National Institute of Aerospace.
Irreversible Electroporation is a new therapy for difficult-to-treat cancers in soft tissues. It is offered in many cancer treatment centers across the United States, and is being studied for effectiveness on a wide variety of specific cancers. Researchers at the Institute of Life Sciences began experimenting with BNNTs to see if the nanotubes could make the treatment more effective.
"Irreversible Electroporation is a way of putting holes in the wall of a tumor cell," said Michael W. Smith, chief scientist at BNNT, LLC and formerly a staff scientist at NASA's Langley Research Center.
Smith explained that when a hole of housse cuir ipad proper size is made in the wall of a cell, the cell reacts in a predictable fashion. Although the exact mechanism has not been pinpointed, researchers suspect that such a hole could trigger cell suicide. "The cell will literally go, Oh, something's terribly wrong, and kill itself. That's called apoptosis," he added.

Analytic thinking can decrease religious belief

A new University of British Columbia study finds that analytic thinking can decrease religious belief, even in devout  believers. The study, which is published in the April 27 issue of Science, finds that thinking analytically increases disbelief among believers and montre femme cuir skeptics alike, shedding important new light on the psychology of religious belief.

"Our goal was to explore the fundamental question of why people believe in a God to different degrees," says lead author Will Gervais, a PhD student in UBC's Dept. of Psychology. "A combination of complex factors influence matters of personal spirituality, and these new findings suggest that the cognitive system related to analytic thoughts is one factor that can influence disbelief."
Researchers used problem-solving tasks and subtle experimental priming – including showing participants Rodin's sculpture The Thinker or asking participants to complete questionnaires in hard-to-read fonts – to successfully produce "analytic" thinking. The researchers, who assessed participants’ belief levels using a variety of self-reported measures, found that religious belief decreased when participants engaged in Clé USB fnac analytic tasks, compared to participants who engaged in tasks that did not involve analytic thinking.

The findings, Gervais says, are based on a longstanding human psychology model of two distinct, but related cognitive systems to process information: an "intuitive" system that relies on mental shortcuts to yield fast and efficient responses, and a more "analytic" system that yields more deliberate, reasoned responses.
"Our study builds on previous research that links religious beliefs to 'intuitive' thinking," says study co-author and Associate Prof. Ara Norenzayan, UBC Dept. of Psychology. "Our findings suggest that activating the 'analytic' cognitive system in the brain can undermine the 'intuitive' support for religious belief, at least temporarily."
The study involved more than 650 participants in the U.S. and Canada. Gervais says future studies will explore whether the increase in religious disbelief is temporary or long-lasting, and how the findings apply to non-Western cultures.
Recent figures suggest that haut parleur pour iphone the majority of the world's population believes in a God, however atheists and convictions  are shaped by psychological and cultural factors and fluctuate across time and situations, he says.

The United States Navy will be sent to ''locations outside of Japan''

Some 9,000 marines will be sent to ''locations outside of Japan'', a joint statement by Washington and Tokyo said. Some 10,000 troops will remain.
The revised agreement comes ahead of a visit to Washington by Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda.
The two sides have still not reached agreement on Montre Bracelet LED closing the controversial Futenma airbase on Okinawa.

The troops leaving Okinawa will be moved to Guam, Hawaii and other locations in the Asia Pacific region.
Japan has been unable to fulfil the conditions of an agreement over Okinawa signed in 2006 under which it had to find an alternative location for the Futenma air base before US troops were redeployed.
Proposed alternatives met heavy local opposition.
At the beginning of talks this year, both countries said they had agreed to de-link the two issues.
In the latest statement, they said they still agreed that Futenma should be relocated to Camp Schwab, in a sparsely populated area miles north of Naha, in line with the 2006 deal.
This "remains the only accessoires pour iphone viable solution that has been identified to date", the two governments said.
The announcement is intended to take the sting out of the dispute before Mr Noda visits Washington next week, says the BBC's Roland Buerk in Tokyo.

Be a Graduate Student or Not

According to the reform of our educational system, postgraduates will have to pay tuition to colleges or universities. This brings a dilemma to many undergraduates –  to be a postgraduate or to get employed.

　　The main reason for the dilemma is that, on the one hand, they know their parents can not afford the tuition, and Coque iphone 4 pas cher they don’t like to see their parents take on further financial burden for them. During the four-year undergraduate study, their parents have already paid a lot of money for their education and living. Especially the students whose parents are farmers or laid-off workers are more worried about this. But on the other hand, they want to pursue study further, to learn more knowledge and skills in order to make greater contribution to the society in the future.

　　In my opinion, they should get out of the difficult situation and go on with their study as postgraduates. As far as the tuition is concerned, they can always find some ways to fund it. They can do some part- time jobs in their spare time, or loan some money from their relatives or friends or simply banks. They can also try to obtain some scholarship by studying hard and combiné iphone 4

　　So don’t hesitate, study hard and try to become a graduate student. The future will be more promising.

How will you deal with life's order of priority

It's hard, from within the storm of every day life, to see things with real perspective, to know what's important and what's simply pressing on our consciousness right now, demanding attention.


We have people emailing us for information and requesting action, we have phone calls and visitors and a long to-do list and a million chores and errands to run and all of the slings and arrows of our daily reality … and yet, what is important?


Ask yourself this: if you suddenly found out you only had 6 months to live (for whatever reason), would the thing in front of you matter to you?


Would those 20 emails waiting for a response matter? Would the paperwork waiting to be processed matter? Would the work you're doing matter? Would the meetings you're supposed to have matter? Would a big car and nice house and high-paying job and cool computer and mobile device and Montre Bracelet LED nice shoes and clothes matter?

I'm not saying they wouldn’t matter … but it's important to ask yourself if they would.


What would matter to you?


For many of us, it's the loved ones in our lives. If we don't have loved ones … maybe it's time we started figuring out why, and addressing that. Maybe we haven't made time for others, for getting out and meeting others and helping others and being compassionate and passionate about others. Maybe we have shut ourselves in somehow. Or maybe we do have loved ones in our lives, but we don’t seem to have the time we want to spend with them.


When was the last time you told your loved ones you loved them? Spent good quality time with them, being in the moment?


For many of us, doing work that matters … would matter. That might mean helping others, or making a vital contribution to society, or creating something brilliant and inspiring, or expressing ourselves somehow. It’s not the money that matters, but the impact of the work. Are you doing work that matters?


For many of us, experiencing life would matter — really being in the moment, finding passion in our lives, seeing the world and traveling, or just seeing the world that’s around us right now, being with great people, doing amazing things, eating amazing food, playing.


These are just a few ideas … but what would matter to you?


I highly recommend that you spend at least a little time now, and regularly, thinking about this question … figuring out what really matters … and living a life that shows this.


How do you live a life that puts a great emphasis on what matters? Start by figuring out what matters, and what doesn't. Then eliminate as much as you can of the stuff that doesn't matter, or at least minimize it to housse cuir ipad the extent possible. Make room for what does matter.


Make the time for what does matter … today. Put it on your schedule, and don't miss that appointment. Make those tough decisions — because choosing to live a life that is filled with the important stuff means making choices, and they’re not always easy choices. But it matters.


Spend time with your significant other, show them how important they are. Take the time to cuddle with your child, to read with her, to play with her, to have good conversations with her, to take walks with her. Take time to be in nature, to appreciate the beauty of the world around us. Take time to savor the little pleasures in life.


Because while you might not have only 6 months to live, I'm here to break the news to you: you really do only have a short time to live. Whether that's 6 months, 6 years or 60 … it's but the blink of an eye.


The life you have left is a gift. Cherish it. Enjoy it now, to the fullest. Do what matters, now.

The female will become fat and short

 New research at Yale University has provided the strongest evidence yet that humans are evolving – and suggests that women of the future will be shorter, heavier, and healthier, and will have children for longer.


    As medicine has allowed people who would previously have died young to live to childbearing age and beyond, many have assumed that natural selection no longer works on our species.


    But Prof Stephen Stearns, the evolutionary biologist at Yale University behind the study, says: "That's just plain false."


    While survival to reproductive age is no haut parleur pour iphone longer such a hurdle for humans, other evolutionary pressures – including sexual selection and reproductive fitness – are still working away in full force.

    If the trends the research detected are representative and continue for another 10 generations, Prof Stearns says that the average woman in 2409AD will be 2cm （0.8in） shorter and 1kg （2lb 3oz） heavier, will bear her first child five months earlier, and enter the menopause 10 months later.


    Prof Stearns and his team studied the medical histories of 14,000 residents of the Massachusetts town of Framingham, using medical data from a study going back to 1948 and spanning three generations.


    It looked at 2,238 women past reproductive age – so that they had had all the children they were going to – and tested their height, weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, and other traits, to see if there was a correlation with the number of children they had borne.


    It found that shorter, heavier women had more children than lighter, taller ones. Women with lower blood pressure and cholesterol were also more likely to have large families.


    Women who gave birth early or had a late menopause were likely to have more children as well.


    More importantly, however, these traits were then passed on to their daughters, who also, on average, had more children.


    The study has not determined why these factors are linked to reproductive success, but it is likely that they indicate genetic, rather than environmental, effects. Prof Stearns' team controlled for Clé USB Fantaisie other factors, including social and cultural change.


    He told New Scientist: "It's interesting that the underlying biological framework is still detectable beneath the culture."


    Research suggesting humans are evolving has been carried out before, but this is believed to be the first that directly compares reproductive success of individuals with physiological changes.


    The research is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal.

The United States men urinate on the consequences of subway

　　Zachary McKee, 27, died after coming into contact with an electrified third rail while relieving himself at a subway stop in Montre Bracelet LED Evanston, Illinois, on Sunday night, the Daily Telegraph reported。

　　According to local police McKee clambered down onto the track at South Boulevard station and fell onto the rails at around 11pm。

　　A companion alerted subway security but were too late to save him。

　　He was pronounced dead less than  housse cuir ipad an hour later at Saint Francis Hospital in Evanston。

Putin and Belle spy

As Vladimir Putin prepares to become Russia's President for an unprecedented third time, speculation is mounting as to why his wife Lyudmila Putina is never seen by his side.

Some say Putin's affair with spy-turned-lingerie model Anna Chapman, which has been strongly denied, is the reason the former Aeroflot-hostess is now rarely seen out in public.

Others say he is still seeing former Olympic gold medallist Alina Kabayeva, claims also heavily rebutted, but who he was alleged to have fathered a child with.

A third theory is his 54-year-old love is 'locked away' in Accessoires iphone a 1million pound state-built guest house in the grounds of the ancient Yelizarov monastery outside Pskov - close to Estonia's border.

Locals say they have 'proof' she has been there - but all official enquiries to the authorities are met with a steely silence.

A final hunch is Lyudmila became angry when, in 2008, he stepped down from the top job but then took up the post of Prime Minister.

She is rumoured to have moved back to his native St Petersburg while he remained in the capital Moscow.

Sociologist Olga Kryshtranovkaya said Putin was merely copying Soviet leaders who hid their wives from view.

The one exception, she said, was Mikhail Gorbachev whose wife Raisa played a higher-profile role during the 1980s - but that led to montre bijoux femme criticism from ordinary Russians.

"For Russia, the status of First Lady is different than in Western countries. It's our mentality about the role of women, unfortunately," she told The Times.

"Our First Lady has practically always been a housewife who looked after the children and didn't invite herself into politics. The first change was with Gorbachev and it was a very unsuccessful example from the Russian point of view," she stated.

Previously, they were often pictured together on diplomatic trips abroad, but in the last two years they have been seen together just twice.

Are you a workaholic

As BlackBerries and global business mean more and more of us work 'out of hours', addiction to work is becoming more common.

But until now, being a 'workaholic' has been a matter of opinion - much in the same way as Dylan Thomas quipped, 'An alcoholic is someone you don't like who drinks as much as you do.'

Now, Norwegian scientists have designed a 'scale' to separate out keen workers from those who have a behavioural problem that drives them to harm themselves by overwork.

The ‘Bergen Work Addiction Scale’ looks at the kind of behaviour that is displayed by all kinds of addicts, from  Housse Silicone iphone 4 Those who, for instance, free up time to fit in extra work or feel guilty if they don’t stay late on a regular basis may be workaholics.



Reporting to the Journal of Psychology, researcher Doctor Cecilie Schou Andreassen of the Univesity of Bergen, said the Scale was the first of its kind in the world.

It was tested on 12,000 workers from 25 different kinds of industry, and reflects what she called the ‘seven core elements of addiction.’

These are salience - noticeability - mood, tolerance, withdrawal, conflict, relapse and problems.

The Scale was designed jointly by psychologists from Norway’s University of Bergen with colleagues from Nottingham Trent University.

The Bergen scientists believe work addiction is getting worse, not better, because the boundaries between home and office are getting blurred.

Being in constant touch through mobile phones and laptops and tablet computers, for instance, means it is harder to ‘switch off’ and easier to work from home.

Growing globalisation also means it necessary for some companies to be in touch with colleagues in different time zones, so it will happen outside normal working hours.

These factors, and others, contribute to more employees who are ‘driven to work excessively and compulsively’ - the definition of an addict.

Are you a workaholic? The test that finds out if you have a problem

Look at each of the following statements and combiné iphone 4

You think of how you can free up more time to work.

You spend much more time working than initially intended.

You work in order to reduce feelings of guilt, anxiety, helplessness and depression.

You have been told by others to cut down on work without listening to them.

You become stressed if you are prohibited from working.

You deprioritize hobbies, leisure activities, and exercise because of your work.

You work so much that it has negatively influenced your health.

If you score ‘often (4)’ or ‘always (5)’ on four or more of these seven statements, it ‘may suggest you are a workaholic.’

A road signs frequently stolen

The 104 residents of the village will cast their votes later this week on whether to alter the name。

　　“People are now willing to discuss changes to Clé USB Fantaisie the spelling of the name,” Franz Meindl, the village’s mayor, said in a television interview. “But first all F---ingers have to agree on whether want to change it or not。”

　　For centuries the tiny village in northern Austria lived life in happy obscurity, but life changed when US troops, stationed in the area at the end of the Second World War, discovered it, and since then the village’s name has been a constant source of amusement for tourists and irritation for locals。

　　At least 13 ￡250 road signs bearing the village’s name have been stolen, and the sight of semi-naked women posing for photographs beside signs has become a common sight. One local business woman, exasperated with people stealing her sign has taken to adding another “g” in the hope it will deter thieves。

　　A brisk market in postcards and batterie ordinateur portable Christmas cards making liberal use of the name have also managed to spread its fame。

　　In an attempt to curtail the fun had at the village’s expense some locals want to readopt its 16th-Century spelling and replace the “ck” with a single or double “g”. Experts say the town’s name is derived from Focko, a 6th Century Bavarian nobleman, and the modern spelling was adopted in the 18th Century。

Interviewer: the best interview questions

    One of the most telling things about a job candidate is the type of questions she asks the interviewer. You don't have much time to ask a lot of questions, so make sure you ask the right ones. There was one in montre femme cuir particular that will catch interviewer’s eye:

　　Thinking back to the person who you've seen do this job best, what made their performance so outstanding?

　　Most managers' ears will perk up at this question, because it signals that you care not just about being average or even good, but truly great. This is the question managers wish all their employees would ask。

　　That's a pretty good question to ask, but remember to microphone webcam also pay attention to what your interviewer is saying throughout the interview so you can tailor specific questions to what you both discussed. This will show her that you're good at paying attention and processing information。

Overview of the souris in market

The appearance of the computer brings a lot of advancement and convenience to people’s daily life. The fast develop technology and economic result in the wide spread of the computer. Only a few years past, it becomes a very important and necessary tool in people’s daily life. Along with the popular of the computer, the customers’ demands on the computer accessories are become higher and higher, especially to the most common use accessories, like souris.

Computer souris seems coque batterie iphone 4 as not important part of a computer, but it's one of the integral parts of any computer that used it all day. Every computer user can hopefully identify their souris and the importance it plays in the daily operation of their computer. Souris are nothing new and for the most part are nothing overly complex, but the average user may not be familiar with all of the options and technologies that may go into these little devices. This Tech Tip will take a look at some of the features of souris that people may take for granted, or may otherwise be unaware of.

Firstly, the tracking technologies; according to the tracking technologies, there three types souris in market: the mechanical souris, the optical mice and the laser mice. Mechanical mice were the first ones used on computers, the optical souris is an advancement version on the base of the mechanical souris and the laser mice used the laser technology which is the latest and greatest in computer mice tracking, and takes the advantages of optical to a new level.

Secondly, it is the hard wired connection technologies; which also has three types: Serial souris, PS2 mouse and the USB souris. Serial mice are fairly difficult to come by these days, as are the ports they need in order to operate and the PS2 mice were the standard for a long time, as all motherboards provided two PS2 ports for connecting a clavierand a souris. USB technology has become so widely used that the slower and less convenient PS2 ports are on the verge of extinction with the Serial port and housse iphone 4 vuitton now most mice can now connect via USB.

Then comes to the Wireless Connection Technologies, when talking about the wireless connection technology, mainly are the Radio Frequency, the Bluetooth and the RFID.

To sum up, computer souris are fairly simple devices that may not receive the attention they deserve by end users. Selecting a high quality, ergonomically designed souris can do wonders for productivity and comfort, and the options available should allow anyone to find the right souris for their personal preferences.

Montres LED VS Traditional quartz watches

When talking about montres, that come into our mind firstly is the traditional round case analog display quartz montres, which have a longer history than other types of watches. However, since the digital watch Accessoires iphone appear, for the easily read time display, it begins to share the montre market with quartz montres. As the technology developing, the new LED technology is used on watch which leads to a new type of watches appear, the Montres LED.

What the difference between Montres LED and the traditional quartz watches?

Firstly, the appearance; speaking of the appearance, the most distinguish difference between the LED watch and the traditional quartz montre is the display. There display of the LED montre are very special, except the most common digital display, there are many other types of display which hard to description, but all of them are showed with the LED light. On the other hand, most of the quartz montres are in analog display, with different dial design.

Secondly, the working theory, the work theory of the LED montre is that LED or the light emitting diode actually makes use of semiconductor chips to make luminescent materials. In turn, they would shine red, green, yellow, orange, purple, blue and white light when there is a positive voltage. And the quartz montres is that the electricity from a battery or from solar panels is sent through the quartz crystal which produces regular oscillations, the oscillations are converted by an integrated circuit so they vibrate at the rate of exactly one second, these signals are then converted into either a digital display or a movement equivalent to one second, either on the display on a digital quartz montre or as a mechanical tick of a second finger on an analogue quartz watch.

No one can tell the Montres LED and the traditional montre bijoux femme quartz montres which one is better; both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages. Everyone has their own tastes, some people like the Montres LED and others like the traditional ones. And which you prefer? The Montres LED or the traditional quartz watches.
