Bizarre bird behavior predicted by game theory A team of scientists, led by the University of Exeter, has used game theory to explain the bizarre behaviour of a group of ravens. Juvenile birds from a roost in North Wales have been observed adopting the unusual strategy of foraging for food in 'gangs'. New research, published in the journal PLoS One (on Wednesday 25 February 2009), explains how this curious behaviour can be predicted by adapting models more commonly used by economists to analyse financial trends. Biologynews.comIs The Key To Staying Heart Healthy Anger Management? New research published in the March 3, 2009, issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology finds that anger-induced electrical changes in the heart can predict future arrhythmias in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). Medicalnewstoday.comAs A Weapon Against HIV Gene Therapy Shows Promise A new UCLA AIDS Institute study has found that gene therapy can be developed as a safe and active technique to combat HIV. Researchers involved in this first-of-its-kind study found that cell-delivered gene transfer has the potential to be a once-only treatment that reduces viral load, preserves the immune system and avoids lifelong antiretroviral therapy. The study appears in the current online edition of the journal Nature Medicine. Medicalnewstoday.comNew Technique For Cancer Screening Current research suggests that a new technique to determine tumor methylation status can be used in archived tissue samples. The related report by Balic et al, 'High quality assessment of DNA methylation in archival tissues from colorectal cancer patients using quantitative high-resolution melting analysis,' appears in the March 2009 issue of The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics. DNA in tumors is often altered compared with DNA in normal tissues. Medicalnewstoday.comSuppressing Cancer With A Master Control Gene Starting with the tiny fruit fly and then moving into mice and humans, researchers at VIB and K. U. Leuven show that expression of the same gene suppresses cancer in all three organisms. Reciprocally, switching off the gene - called Ato in flies and ATOH1 in mammals - leads to cancer. The authors show there is a good chance that the gene can be switched on again with a drug. They report their findings in two papers in the leading online open access journal PLoS Biology. Medicalnewstoday.comUS-led international research team confirms Alps-like mountain range exists (National Science Foundation) Flying twin-engine light aircraft the equivalent of several trips around the globe and establishing a network of seismic instruments across an area the size of Texas, a US-led, international team of scientists has not only verified the existence of a mountain range that is suspected to have caused the massive East Antarctic Ice Sheet to form, but also has created a detailed picture of the rugged landscape buried under more than four kilometers (2.5 miles) of ice. Eurekalert.orgJordan`s fossil water source has high radiation levels Ancient groundwater being tapped by Jordan, one of the 10 most water-deprived nations in the world, has been found to contain 20 times the radiation considered safe for drinking water in a new study by an international team of researchers. Eurekalert.orgNew tool improves productivity, quality when translating software Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a software tool that will make it faster and easier to translate video games and other software into different languages for use in various international markets -- addressing a hurdle to internationalization that has traditionally been time-consuming and subject to error.
