...remain close to the inshore spawning grounds, meaning there are even fewer for offshore trawlers to catch. Another consequence of global warming may affect cod eggs and larvae, which are deposited close to the surface and are sensitive to ultraviolet radiation. Stronger sunlight, caused by depletion of the ozone layer, may be killing them. The situation may be exacerbated by the fact that cod don't start migrating until they reach about three years old, when they begin by following the mature adults. But, says Jake Rice, head of the Canadian government's Science Advisory Secretariat, "the severe overfishing...
...kicked off the restoration efforts last summer. The first phase—now in progress—is the construction of an educational website that will report on the progression of the project. Then, Senior Conservation Scientist Narayan Khandekar and his staff plan to begin analysis of the thick layer of residue obscuring the paintings to determine exactly what was deposited in each portion of the painting. Paint chips smaller than a printed period were extracted from portions of the mural with the tip of a scalpel. The specks of paint are then mounted in resin, magnified 250 times...
...typical cross section might include a layer of primer that Sargent often used on his canvases, the layers of paint he used to create and recreate the painting and several layers of grime. Once a chemical analysis determines what substances are obscuring the paint, a solvent and cleaning method are chosen for each specific portion of the murals...
Although their symptoms can be similar, the two diseases are very different. Unlike osteoarthritis, which is focused on a particular joint, rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic disease--an autoimmune disorder in which the body's defense system attacks the joints by way of the thin layer of cells called the synovium that line and lubricate the joints. The runaway immune response clogs the synovium with infection-fighting cells that release proteins called cytokines. These are compounds that fuel inflammation. The synovium becomes engorged with new blood vessels and begins to grow, kudzu-like, penetrating and further damaging cartilage and bone...
...Prime, right, last week rolled out its Pie-tini menu, which presents an array of concoctions typically served on plates--but here they're in glasses. The details are something to relish: the Key Lime Pie Martini features crushed graham crackers lining the rim of the glass, with a layer of cream sitting atop the drink. Caramel swirls and chocolate shavings are found in the Mississippi Mud Martini. "Dessert-cocktail recipes have been gathered from some of the premier bar chefs in the U.S.," says Lisa Hawkins of the Distilled Spirits Council. Michael Waterhouse, co-owner and beverage designer...
