At last the truth about acupuncture (May 01 2005 23:56 GMT) - "Sceptics have long claimed that acupuncture is all in the mind. But a ground-breaking new study has found that the ancient Chinese practice is as effective as popular painkillers for treating disabling conditions such as arthritis. A team of scientists from two British universities made the findings after they carried out brain scans on patients while they underwent the 2,500-year-old treatment. The scans showed differences in the brain's response... |

Secret gay encounters of black men could be raising women's HIV rate (May 01 2005 23:56 GMT) - "Health officials have worried for years about the high rate of HIV among African Americans. Now the federal Centers for Disease Control is examining how one group, known as men on the 'down low,' could be spreading the disease among black women. Men on the down low have sex with other men while keeping a heterosexual public identity. Recent books and articles about black men on the DL, as it is also called, have raised concerns that they pass HIV... |

NEA's memo contradicts its lawsuit (May 01 2005 23:56 GMT) - "The National Education Association's chief lawyer two years ago wrote a memo that said the No Child Left Behind Act was voluntary and not an unfunded mandate, a position that contradicts claims in a lawsuit the union has filed against Education Secretary Margaret Spellings. Robert H. Chanin, the union's general counsel, told NEA state affiliate leaders and employees in a May 2003 memo that the federal No Child Left Behind Act is a mandate only if... |

Cycles? (May 01 2005 23:55 GMT) - Just wondering why steroids are taken in cycles that last for around 12 weeks plus? Why couldn't someone only take them for maybe a month and come off? |

bioperl-pm581-1.5.0-1 (Perl module for biology, 10.3 tree) (May 01 2005 23:55 GMT) - Bioperl is a collection of perl modules that facilitate the development of perl scripts for bioinformatics applications. As such, it does not include ready to use programs in the sense that many commercial packages and free web-based interfaces (eg Entrez, SRS) do. On the other hand, bioperl does provide reusable perl modules that facilitate writing perl scripts for sequence manipulation, accessing of databases using a range of data formats and execution and parsing of the results of various molecular biology programs including Blast, clustalw, TCoffee, genscan, ESTscan and HMMER. Consequently, bioperl enables developing scripts that can analyze large quantities of sequence data in ways that are typically difficult or impossible with web based systems. commit log from driftkop: |

graph-pm-0.63-1 (Graph module for perl, 10.3 tree) (May 01 2005 23:55 GMT) - This is Graph, a Perl module for dealing with graphs, the abstract data structures. (If you were looking for pie charts, I'm sorry.) This is a full rewrite of the Graph module 0.2xx series as discussed in the book "Mastering Algorithms with Perl", written by Jarkko Hietaniemi (the undersigned), John Macdonald, and Jon Orwant, and published by O'Reilly and Associates. This rewrite is not fully compatible with the 0. |

embossdb-rebase-505-1 (Restriction Enzyme Database for EMBOSS, 10.3 tree) (May 01 2005 23:55 GMT) - The Restriction Enzyme data BASE is a collection of information about restriction enzymes and related proteins. It contains published and unpublished references, recognition and cleavage sites, isoschizomers, commercial availability, methylation sensitivity, crystal and sequence data. DNA methyltransferases, homing endonucleases, nicking enzymes, specificity subunits and control proteins are also included. Most recently, putative DNA methyltransferases and restriction enzymes, as predicted from analysis of genomic sequences, are also listed. REBASE is continuously updated and the web pages not dynamically generated are refreshed on a nightly basis. |
