LONDON, September 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Integer, a leading business consultancy in the area of global emissions regulations, today announced its latest speaker lineup for the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Forum (DEFF '08) to be held in San Diego, California, on November 11-12. The aim of this independent forum is to give exclusive insight into the commercial opportunities and concerns created by stricter heavy duty diesel vehicle emissions regulations from January 2010.

Identity thieves can learn a lot about you from your trash and so it goes that a cell's "trash" can yield treasures for biologists.

Using a new technique they developed, scientists at University of Delaware's Delaware Biotechnology Institute analyzed the cellular waste of one of the world's most-studied plants and discovered formerly hidden relationships between genes and the small molecules that can turn them off.

Precise measurements by the ESO instrument HARPS now show that the rotation of the Milky Way is simpler than previously thought - the much debated, apparent 'fall' of neighborhood Cepheid stars towards our Sun stems from an intrinsic property of the Cepheids themselves, say a group of astrophysicists led by Nicolas Nardetto in a Astronomy & Astrophysics article.

Since Henrietta Leavitt's discovery of their unique properties in 1912, the class of bright, pulsating stars known as Cepheids has been used as a distance indicator. Combined with velocity measurements, the properties of Cepheids are also an extremely valuable tool in investigations of how our galaxy, the Milky Way, rotates.

"The motion of Milky Way Cepheids is confusing and has led to disagreement among researchers," says Nardetto. "If the rotation of the Galaxy is taken into account, the Cepheids appear to 'fall' towards the Sun with a mean velocity of about 2 km/s."

Nature had her own ideas about testing the Large Hadron Collider(LHC) near Geneva last Friday. A thunderstorm knocked out some transformers that are part of the helium cooling system, which cools the magnets that keep the proton beams travelling at near light speed on a circular path through the collider. Technicians have been scrambling to fix the problems, but not before some magnets warmed well above standard operating temperatures, some reaching almost 7K from the usual ultra-cold 1.9K . Electromagnets at the LHC need to be this cold to be superconducting, or at peak efficiency, in order to deliver extremely high magnetic fields in the 27 km ring of 1200 giant magnets and thousands of smaller ones, at 8.33 Teslas or about 200,000 times the earth's magnetic field strength.
