Science Bulletins: Tapping In—The Promise of Brain-Computer Interface
For decades, neuroscientists have sought to use electronics to communicate with the brain. Computing and surgical technique have now become sophisticated enough to implant devices directly into neural tissue. In this feature, researchers at Albany Medical Center and the Wadsworth Center at the New York State Department of Health reveal a world where mind and machine merge. Their cutting-edge devices translate brain signals into action, helping people with ALS and other disabilities regain the ab

A giant battle: Auburn canines help in search for Everglades' pythons
The scenario sounds like a low-budget movie from the 1970s: Humongous snakes are on the loose, eating everything in sight. But this is real -- a problem that Auburn University and its canines are helping to combat.
Auburn researchers used detection dogs in the Everglades National Park to find Burmese pythons during a recent study on ways to manage and eradicate these nonnative, invasive snakes, which are eating native wildlife, mostly mammals and birds.

Pity The Billionaire: the hard times swindle and the comeback of the right [Audio]
Speaker(s): Thomas Frank | Editor's note: Unfortunately the beginning of the chairperson’s introduction is missing from the podcast. Economic meltdown usually brings calls for change – or it's supposed to. But when Thomas Frank set out to find these, all he heard were loud demands that the losers be hit harder and that the winners get more. In his new book, Pity The Billionaire, which he will discuss in this talk Frank takes us a wild road-trip through the strange landscape of the American R

Geometric Methods in Structural Computational Biology
This course is a short series of lectures on Structural Computational Biology, with an emphasis on geometric algorithms. Topics covered include basic data structures for modeling proteins; kinematics and inverse kinematics of protein chains; distance measures and alignment algorithms for protein structures; motif finding for the functional annotation of proteins; the application of robotics-derived methods to problems in protein modeling; and protein-ligand docking. The development of this cours
Coordination Exam: Normal Exam: Check Reflex
Examiner pulls on actively flexed arm then suddenly releases. The patient should be able to check or stop the arm's movement when released. The first principle of neurologic diagnosis is regional or anatomical localization. In order to become skillful the student must understand how structure relates to function of the nervous system. The neurologic examination permits "dissection" of the nervous system and localizes the disease when present. Instead of simply memorizing the components of the ex

Spermatogenesis
Guide questions - At what point in life do spermatogonia begin to undergo meiosis? How many spermatozoa result from a single primary spermatocyte? What is spermiogenesis? What are the structural components of a mature spermatozoon? How long does it take for a primary spermatocyte to become a mature spermatozoon? What testicular hormone is required for maintenance of spermatogenesis? How do chronically high levels of anabolic steroids such as testosterone suppress spermatogenesis? University of C
Urbanization, Uncertainty and Water: Planning for Arizona's Second Hundred Years
On January 24, 2012, the Water Resources Research Center held its annual conference, Urbanization, Uncertainty and Water: Planning for Arizona's Second Hundred Years, in the University of Arizona Student Union Memorial Center Ballroom, Tucson. Arizona's urban areas are growing and some predict that a metropolitan region eventually will extend from Prescott, through the Phoenix area cities, Pinal County and the Tucson area, to south-central Cochise County. The conference addressed many of the vit
