With the severe recession around the corner, the focus is on cutting costs and reducing cycle times with projects getting more and more complex, there is a strong requirement for anytime, anywhere and cost effective training. To address this enormous need of training and talent shortage in the IT industry, http://www.qaiasia.com (QAI), announced their e learning venture http://www.edistalearning.com (EdistaLearning)

LEEDS, England, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- In a bid to help alleviate the current "demographic timebomb" facing pharmacy in the UK, Teva UK Limited, the UK's leading generics manufacturer, is launching a Student Bursary Scheme.

The company is a keen supporter of pharmacy in the UK, and already has several initiatives in place to help pharmacists make the most of their role in the ever-changing UK healthcare climate. And now it's extending this support to include the pharmacists of the future. The Student Bursary will be available to students who want to gain a degree-level qualification in pharmacy or similar but may suffer hardship without additional financial support.

Patients suffering from “hemineglect” ignore things presented to their left side. However, sometimes these ignored stimuli may be processed without awareness.

In a paper published in Cortex Issue 6, Sackur and colleagues reported that unconscious processing in hemineglect is not limited to low level features of the stimuli. They showed that the brain may extract the meaning of symbols that the patient has not consciously perceived. Thus, digits or number words presented on the left side were not detected by hemineglect patients, but still their numerical value influenced the way these patients performed on a numerical task presented shortly thereafter.

If you take a top-of-the-line express train in America, nothing more modern than an electric shaver can even be plugged in much less have any practical use while onboard. 10 times as long as plane flights, more expensive and no computer use? Why aren't trains more popular here again?

Not the case in Europe. They are using technology from the European Space Agency to allow internet addicts to get their fix even in mass transit. Thalys is launching full commercial operations for a wireless broadband internet service on board high speed trains, the result of their project "Broadband to trains."

It enables the international railway company to deliver true broadband internet access to passengers travelling between Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and Cologne.

- Patients Treated with XIENCE V in SPIRIT III Trial Experience Better Long-Term Clinical Outcomes, Lower Rates of Stent Thrombosis than Patients Treated with TAXUS

A team of Canadian researchers has completed a massive survey of the network of protein complexes that orchestrate the fundamental processes of life. In the online edition of the journal Science, researchers from the Université de Montréal describe protein complexes and networks of complexes never before observed – including two implicated in the normal mechanisms by which cells divide and proliferate and another that controls recycling of the molecular building blocks of life called autophagy.

These processes are implicated in diseases such as cancers and autophagy has recently been shown to be involved in degenerative neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Huntington's diseases. The discovery will fill gaps in basic knowledge about the workings and evolutionary origins of the living cell and provide new avenues to explore in linking these fundamental processes to human disease.

Most teenagers wouldn’t have a clue what agarose gel electrophoresis means, but middle school student Andrew Trigiano does - and as a result he's the youngest author to ever publish in the American Society of Horticultural Science’s journal HortTechnology.

One of the most frequently used tools in biochemistry and biotechnology, agarose gel electrophoresis is a common forensic technique often used in genetic or DNA fingerprinting. The procedure is achieved by moving negatively charged nucleic acid molecules through a gelatinous substance known as agarose by using an electric field.
