Money under the microscope - Financial comparison website money.co.uk, teamed up with the London Metropolitan University to put money under the microscope to discover what’s really lurking in your wallet - the findings are not for the faint hearted. Dr Paul Matewele, Professor of Microbiology at London Met, and his students took 36 samples from a random selection of all denominations of coins and notes. The microbiologists studied the bacteria in a controlled lab environment over a period of 8 weeks....
The method reduces the duration of the primary drying cycle and ensures the homogenization of the batches of vials. Particularly effective in long duration freeze-drying cycles, Telstar Lyonuc will be promoted at CPhI (Madrid 2018, 9-11 October). A new vacuum nucleation induction method in the freeze-drying process suitable for any type of freeze-dryer without modifying its main elements or adding gases or external substances has been developed....
International team develops mathematical model for monitoring and controlling the spread of melioidosis in Southeast Asia. An international research team from the University of Leicester, Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU), and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) from Russia has developed a mathematical model for monitoring and controlling the spread of melioidosis in Southeast Asia...
Assessing DNA for areas of the genome linked to cancer risk could pick out some people with a three-fold increased risk of blood cancer, a new study suggests. The research identified six new DNA regions linked to a higher risk of multiple myeloma, a cancer of white blood cells made in the bone marrow. Together with previously identified areas of the genome, their findings explain part of the inherited risk of...
