PAGE A25 NEW INSIGHT INTO AGING Scientists trying to understand how resveratrol, a minor ingredient of red wine, improves the health and lifespan of laboratory mice have gained a new insight into aging.
Other computer animations offer insights into how scientists decode the hereditary information, how it is transmitted through generations, and how mutations of mitochondrial DNA, the traits inherited through the mother's lineage, reveal relationships through time and migrations.
The finding helps explain the long-standing puzzle of how seagrasses can survive in murky shoreline waters and offers insight into how scientists can better restore seagrass ecosystems, which are declining worldwide.
In a typical investigation, the RIO-led committee made up mostly of faculty with relevant expertise reconstructs the research behind a scientific result from its documentation (which may be sparse, cryptic, or fabricated)—so the RIO job requires deep insight into how scientists work.
In addition to insights into earth history, scientists still find much to be learned from and about Antarctica itself.
It's thought that higher energy levels will lead to the generation of larger particles, which could in turn reveal new insights into particle physics, scientists say.
The images are set to capture features as small as 100 metres across, giving scientists insights into Pluto's geology and formation billions of years ago.
The disease itself has now all but vanished; studying it has given scientists insights into present-day conditions such as vCJD and Alzheimer's disease.
Understanding how the methane concentration of the ocean floor is regulated, he adds, may give scientists insights into periodic methane "blowoffs" that seem to accompany periods of global warming.
Some years ago, I did quite a bit of writing about the intersection of science and religion, which offered some surprising insights into the lives of scientists in this country and abroad.
