...driven this trend. Taint is part of this, but so is another factor: oxygen. A typical wine cork contains millions of air-filled cells, but because every cork is different, some winemakers think they cause inconsistent aging of the wine. Screwcaps let in less air, and since their cellular composition is man-made, adopters like Bonny Doon say the caps offer a more controlled oxidation process that allows wine to age as the winemaker intended. (Plastic corks, meanwhile, still control a larger corner of the alternative-stopper market than screwcaps, but they're getting edged...
Neuron degeneration in Parkinson’s disease is caused in part by oxidative stress, a state of cellular imbalance that can produce molecules damaging to the cellular environment. As a powerful antioxidant, urate could help to correct this, according to the study’s abstract...
...front of Apple stores around the country will do by the weekend. But there's no choice about the carrier: you only get AT&T (formerly Cingular) on an iPhone. And so far, the early reviews have not been kind to the mobile service and especially its cellular data network ("Pokey," says the Wall Street Journal; "excruciatingly slow," says the New York Times. A spokesman for AT&T said the company disagreed with those characterizations). Before the reviews emerged, AT&T tried to play down the speed issue and play up the new experience provided by Apple...
...soldiers. The terrorism geek has come a long way since our previous meeting. To demonstrate his prowess, he produces a black briefcase-size device with Japanese markings and flicks a switch on its side. He claims that the device is similar to those used by U.S. troops to block cellular signals around IEDs and disable bombs wired to detonate with a cell-phone call. Abdallah says he was given the device by a Saudi militant who asked him to find a way around jamming signals. He invites the four people in the room to try to use their cell phones...
...academic environment is becoming more student-friendly as well. Students are now encouraged to spend some time at a foreign university, and many do. Perhaps even more importantly, the new science curriculum being rolled out by Senior Lecturer on Molecular and Cellular Biology Robert A. Lue and his colleagues is designed to engage the broadest number of students in the sciences and to give students high quality sections and lots of faculty support, helping them not only to succeed, but to like science. The strategy of making tough courses more student-friendly is clearly working: One third of this year?...
