Student reunited with mother in Ethiopian refugee campCENTRAL -- Home from a reunion with his mother in an Ethiopian refugee camp, Southern Wesleyan student Abraham Deng is a changed man. The reunion filled his heart with joy, but he was devastated by living conditions at the refugee camp. Deng said he returned from his summer in Africa more determined than ever to become a doctor and minister medically and spiritually to people in his homeland. One of the "Lost Boys of the Sudan," Deng, 25, was separated from his family at the age of six, when the village where he lived was attacked. He fled into the jungle and grew up in refugee camps. He came to the United States five years ago to continue his education through a United Nations program. . read more.

Researchers harness DNA to direct gold nanoparticle assemblyOct. 17, 2006 -- The speed of nanoparticle assembly can be accelerated with the assistance of DNA, a team of researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, N.Y., recently found. Nanoparticles could potentially be used for more efficient energy generation and data storage, as well as improved methods for diagnosing and treating disease. Learning how to control and tailor the assembly of nanoparticles into larger functional systems remains a major challenge for scientists. The Brookhaven results, published online on Oct. 11, 2006, by the Journal of the American Chemical Society, could be a step in that direction. . read more. Laboratory Productivity Improves with First Commercial Mass Spectrometry-Based System For Amino Acid AnalysisApplied Biosystems, an Applera Corporation business, and its joint venture partner, MDS Sciex, a division of MDS Inc., today announced a new laboratory system that uses mass spectrometry to reliably, cost-effectively and efficiently perform amino acid analysis. The new Amino Acid 20/20 Analyzer is designed to increase productivity of laboratory researchers by improving the effectiveness and reliability of applications that are commonly used to conduct amino acid analysis. The new system is the first to combine mass spectrometry with unique tagging reagents for use with these applications. Amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins, are analyzed to measure and characterize proteins. This process is utilized in a variety of applications that include biopharmaceutical quality control and assessment of the nutritional value of foods, beverages and animal feed. read more. Court ruling puts hold on 'hot lab'A federal appeals court ruled Monday that the Department of Energy must take the possibility of terrorist actions into account before opening a biodefense facility at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The decision affirms a lawsuit filed by Livermore-based Tri-Valley Communities Against a Radioactive Environment, which alleged such an attack on a Livermore biowarfare research lab could have a disastrous effect on the surrounding community. "I can tell you honestly I feel safer today because of the ruling," said Marylia Kelley of Tri-Valley CARES. "Operating an advanced biowarfare research facility without review is an extremely dangerous undertaking." The new 1,600-square-foot "hot lab" would allow scientists to deal with deadly pathogens, including anthrax and plague, in an effort to prepare antidotes to counter such a biological attack. read more.We are committed to collect the most comprehensive resources available to you in a lone convenient web site.
